LEGO Space Shuttle Review 

Old video I know but no average price in video or description

I've heard somebody else mention that so it might be true! I'm clueless ahah :P

Zinc chromate primer. Great catch skylineGTRR34Freak

they are trying to get rid of the cheapest granules they could get. its nothing but a financial thing. no adult wants this colors plague in a collectors set.

@@henningsol5180 oh don't get me wrong, I absolutely hate the abundance of weird colors in sets, biggest offenders being the Star Destroyer and Mickey Mouse Steamboat imo. Still, in this case it's actually at least realistic.

@@henningsol5180 other collector sets have rainbow structures

As I read more and more comments saying that, it might have been a consideration by the designer and not necessarily because he likes the color ahah! My bad!

To add to your comment, that common green you see in aerospace applications is a zinc chromate primer applied before final paint. Some interior spaces that don't receive additional paint are left in that green for corrosion protection. If you ever cross over into the scale modeling side of youtube, you'll see how much the aircraft and aerospace modelers love that color.

@@otm646 As an aircraft mechanic, i can confirm this. And i do think it's done intentially. Anyways my spaceshuttle arrived today so ill be starting tomorrow with the build. Yeah a bit late to watch a review... :p

Did you see the space shuttle in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum?

Yep! The yellowish green color of the zinc chromate primer is found on the internal structure of the orbiter as well as most aircraft.

Well worth the space I'd say!

@@TiagoCatarino haha exactly!

All of the recent NASA sets have been spectacular.

eh, way too many stickers for the price. Also, considering the size of the Saturn V, adding boosters etc. to this set would've been no problem

Henlo how u doing

Thanks!! It took me quite a while to figure out how to do a review ahah But I think I have something here :) It has amazing details overall indeed, you need to get it!!

@hachiroku24 The nose aside, do you like how they used the Cockpit window and roof pieces? I can't get my head around the buldge and exessive "pristine roundedness", especially the print (yay its a print). The Shape and position of the windows have always been one of the most iconic features of the shuttle. I've been a fan of yours for your clever usage of pieces (GlaDOS, Tiefighter etc.) so if anyone is gonna manage a more authentic brickbuilt Its gonna be you! :)

@@cotoaster4081 Thank you! I like the new roof pieces. Not a big fan of the cockpit window because I've preferred something more brick-built, but it looks ok in this scale.

The nose is not perfect but honestly I am not sure how they could have made it better. Really tough spot and I think they likely made it as best they could without increasing the scale of the design or making a lot of custom expensive pieces. Will be interesting if some fans moc up a better solution. I've not been this excited for a set since the Saturn V came out...

I would hurry! I truly believe it will be out of stock really fast!!

@@TiagoCatarino yeah but I earn 80€ per month, so I need 3 to buy :(

@@pseudo4453 You can do it :) Its worth it!

Cool

@@TiagoCatarino I already bought one , because im scared that its going to be sold out quick

they are trying to get rid of the cheapest granules they could get. its nothing but a financial thing. no adult wants this colors plague in a collectors set.

@@henningsol5180 but u dont even see it though

..but if you like to build something else, you have colours rarely anyone can use or has to hide them as well. It is a plague, a long time now. Lego has abandoned their idea of being creative. ..or you would have to see the world in shades of black and white.

Thats exactly what they r doin the designer said it himself

@@henningsol5180 dude chill

Agreed! Although... it may have to occupy my kitchen table at that scale lolol.

As in replacing them to get the olive green out? :P

Oh that would make more sense. Teal of course!!

@@TiagoCatarino teal is good :D

Fun tidbit of info: not only is olive green the architect's favorite color, that also happens to be (close to) the yellowish green color of the zinc chromate primer found on the internal structure of the orbiter as well as most aircraft.

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

SO COOOOL

@@metalcraft1388 si

Where do you recommend i should get it

The nose was my favourite part lol

I got that after watching the designer video! At the time of the recording I really had no idea what the rods were! Yeah, as for the odd colors it really is to help people avoid building errors! Some designers use the chance to include cool colors for you all! I still remember dearly when I did the Ship In a Bottle and tried to use as much teal as I could inside the build since it was a fairly recent color!

Considering those purchases, you really need this one then ahah! Have fun :)

Did you?

@@veikkakarvonen831 not yet

@@veikkakarvonen831 it's February 13th. I justed started building mind. I'm done with the bottom half so far. Going to build the Hubble last

But at minifigure scale it would be HUGE!!!

@@TiagoCatarino it would be pretty big but it would be pretty awesome😎

LEGO got you indeed!!

Glad you liked it! More to come!

Facts

Glad I could help! It's SOOO good :)

Yep... Well worth it, but yeah... A nightmare indeed

I'm glad I watched this, because I didn't realize there were stickers at first. That's probably enough to keep me away.

kinda disappointing ngl

NASA even uses metric themselves

Right? It really is amazing, am I'm super glad I got the early copy from LEGO

@@TiagoCatarino It’s definitely high up on my wanted list! btw are you an RLFM?

Some LEGO fans will buy this as their first LEGO set. Even for me will all the colored bricks inside I still make mistakes. Having worked for LEGO I can tell you there is no such thing as placing parts inside to optimize profit, designers really do it to avoid people making building mistakes.

@@TiagoCatarino I rather assume most designers have no other chance nowadays, even if they wanted to, because the color coding (especially think of Lego Technic) is a company standard they have to stick to. In the past, and here I am thinking of my youth in the 1980ies and 1990ies, things were really different. The building process was more challenging in many ways, which I liked when I was a child. I failed sometimes, but then I corrected my mistakes. But yeah, I can understand that Lego wants to release appealing products that are easy to build without frustrating beginners...i.e. products for the broad masses. As a repeat customers however, especially if a set is designated as 18+, I feel subchallenged. At least the turquise wedge plates in the Shuttle wings are not necessary...Just my opinion...thanks for your reply.

Sorry!
