how is he getting paid to review this stuff yet he knows nothing about them and is CONSTANTLY shilling for the newer stuff just irks me. Might as well ask someone off the street what they think about it. They couldn't possibly be less informed than this ass clown and at least they are honest
What I love about these vintage comparisons is that, of course, price and age are mentioned, but more importantly they’re judged at their base level. There is no judgement for the lack of piece diversity due to the relatively young age of the company. He’s always super fair to the vintage sets. Great as always!
The 2020 version is wayyyy better than the 2002 version. Just like you mentioned, the way the mail actually comes out of the fireplace like in the extended version of Philosopher’s Stone is indicative of the increased accuracy Lego has been able to put into these newer sets. The coloring on everything is vastly improved (you mentioned skin tones and correct height), but every detail is more true to the film adaptations now. The bars on Harry’s Window, Doby (and the cake!!), and wow that cupboard under the stairs are all just beautiful!
Sidebar to my previous comment, I also really love when something about the vintage set is actually better than a modern set. Of course modern Lego innovation is leaps and bounds ahead of the vintage stuff, but there is still lessons to be learned from those older sets. Love it!
I wouldn't exactly call the old house an "ugly" set, as much as I'd call it an "old" set. I remember seeing '02 Vernon's head in the Build a Minifig stall at my local LEGO Store as recent as two years ago. Strange how long it lasted
I like the color scheme of the original a lot more but personally I think the cupboard under the stairs is actually a really cool addition since they kind of made it a dual purpose first and second year set although it would be interesting to see like a highly detailed but small USC version of Harry's cupboard under the stairs or even the dursley's house
the only problem the newer set has is the right/left facing. when the camera shot shows harry's room under the stairs, its on the RIGHT in the camera view, whereas in the model, its on the LEFT.... and the stairs are in the wrong orientation... the bottom of the stairs are suppose to be by the front door....whoever designed the set wasn't paying attention to the movie....
but aesthetically 2020 takes the cake... so whats the point in the comparison? XD the "but aesthetically 2020 takes the cake" part was copied from the description. i actually prefer 2002
Hello epic gamers Ask MandR: Out of all lego Harry Potter sets which is your favorite, which is your least favorite, and which set was unnecessary to have made.
Keep up the Harry Potter reviews! A rumor list for 2021 would be great from you. Then we can complain about the lack of First Wizarding War sets and the focus on original septolgy sets.
The newer sets definetely are more detailed and better executed, but man, I don't know why the older sets have so much more charm to me... I guess it's just nostalgia. Also, I think I'm the only person who prefers yellow coloured skin, it's more "Lego looking" to me.
At 2:57, you say that the back of the original Vernon Dursley looks exactly like the original episode 2 Anakin. Incorrect! Anakin had a cape! Haha, this comment was mostly just a joke, I know that you meant the minifig itself.
The 2002 sets really remind me of the lego system sets from the 80s. Although the new one is more accurate, the old one has this weird charm with it's simplicity that old sets have. The one thing I will say is that I'm glad they got better designs on the minifigures on the newer sets, the faces on those minifigs are god awful.
@average teenaged flexer if your just gonna disrespect our opinions then why dont you just piss off and go play with your precious 2020 model? we prefer 2002, we dont care about accuracy and theres nothing you can do about it. now good day.
