Even though I was disappointed with season 8, it doesn't mean I can't appreciate what Mega Construx have made here. Lego could learn a thing or two from them when it comes to making dragons, imagine if the Harry Potter dragon had looked this good.
Ofek Tal yeah that’s what he’s saying the mega construx drogon may have a bunch of pieces but the size is actually how big he is in the show compared to Daenerys but like Smaug is tiny compared to the minifigures and he is supposed to be huge
@@stinkylemons9085 but they're also mostly made for children, like me at the time, my mother would deff not get me an expensive dragon, I feel Mega is more for collectors and Lego for kids, I like collecting some Mega products, but I still take my tie fighter with me on road trips :3
I don't even like GoT but i absolutely want this set. Drogon is an awesome looking dragon and this set perfectly represents his awesomeness. Hopefully they'll do Rheagal and Viserion as well.
Even if you aren't a GoT fan (✋) this is an amazing drogon... er... dragon. I'm just of the opinion that waiting a couple months for a discount is a good idea for this one.
Ah, nice to see this reviewed! Castle Grayskull was my first big, Mega set and I was really impressed. The bricks still feel weird to me (along with some building techniques and other oddities) but the build was good, the finished piece excellent and I LOVE the figures... really fun articulation and great details. 👍
I didn't know this existed but now I have to have it! I was definitely one of the people who hated season 8 and thought they ruined the series for the sake of a rushed ending just so the directors could go work on other projects and it really shows. Nevertheless I love dragons and I was happy Drogon survived. Also this model looks incredible!
The set looks great! Now let's hope they release some sets with some soldiers/knights, we keep getting close to getting knights, than it gets cancelled or it's turned into a kids line
Well this line won’t turn into a kids line that’s for sure as for getting cancelled it depends on how well these sets do their is a new set to come out in December with Cersi Dynareys Jon Snow and the Night King and the Iron Throne
I had the same issue where I was sure a piece was missing, but then I found it in another bag. And then I was concerned that I had so many leftover pieces. Before watching this vid I considered going over the instructions despite the fact my Drogon looks perfect. Definitely worth the price. There are no other dragon toys on the market that can do what this does.
I don't like game of thrones...but i will be buying this. Me and my daughter will enjoy this....she loves dragon! Thanks for the review. I had no idea this was out.
My word... that thing is spectacular. _Fully_ pose-able limbs and extremities, foldable membranous wings, a detailed body, I'm impressed! I wonder if this will show up at my Target or local Toy/collectible stores, I might have to break my long streak of not getting something from another source.
this is a dream come true. since the age of about 9 when i got super into lego I have always wanted a good quality brick built dragon. now I can get one
got it yesterday, not finished building yet but it looks awesome so far. only thing that was off were the colors in the booklet vs piece color (red parts in manual are actually brown-ish translucent pieces)
Honestly, as fantastic as this this set is, I won't buy it. Seeing anything Game of Thrones related makes me angry at the last season. Everything from the chinese mobile game ads and every other lazy cash in is disappointing and infuriating to see. If these sets were released before the final season, 100% would have bought them.
Oh its gonna greatly affect sales. I collect Funko's and before Season 8 started I estimated I could have sold most of my GOT Pops for around $550. If I sold them today I'd be lucky to get $250. It sucks because I want to get this set but its pretty much gonna be a waste of money. After its built it will just sit and collect dust.
11:30 I can't be the only one who notices a familiar voice when you close your eyes while watching this video? A certain someone who loved painting and was known to paint birds over a mistake and somehow tie it to a valuable life lesson.
This brings me back to when Megabloks used to have the Dragons line... Those were probably some of my favorite brick-built toys/sets to date! Tied with Bionicle.
JANGBRiCKS the silicone red friction caps are not new. They where used Mega Bloks Halo (97072) Wolverine. I like the Dragon but I don't get why they wait until the shows end.
The Black series is meant to distinguish certain themes from others due to their mature rating and adult content. Currently Game of Thrones, Borderlands, and Predator are the only three series that fall under this category. I'd assume Call of Duty, Alien, Hellyboy, and a few other series would also fall under there eventually.
Can we talk about the bags for a minute, it took me almost 2 years to put the spirit dropship together because there were so many pieces on my floor I got overwhelmed. Now we'll finally get numbered bags for 2-3 thousand piece sets... imma go dance in the street!!!
Great Figure actually, And I am thinking of some ways to modify this set and make a Monster Hunter theme and Drogon can be a Rathalos just like that! anyway thanks for sharing and will wait for some more!
First of all, I love that a RU-vid presenter with the media stature of JangBricks is doing Mega Construx reviews. I'm aware that is nothing new here, but it is a major factor in Mega shaking it's reputation as inferior to Lego. It is assuredly NOT inferior. Secondly, my only problem with Mega picking up the Game of Thrones license is that one of the sets is a remake of McFarlane's Throne Room, complete with a Joffrey figure if I'm not mistaken. If the series was late to begin with, that set is the exclamation point to that statement. Lastly, being owned my Mattel, I fear, may be the soon of Mega Construx. If they handle the Mega brand like they did DC Multiverse, it will be. My hope, sincerely, is Mega Construx creates and makes EASILY AVAILABLE a 20th anniversary Firefly line. If my memory serves me correctly, the TV show 20 yr anniversary is in 2020. Imagine: A 1500 PC Serenity, complete with Crybaby decoy, bunks and secret storage compartments. I can't remember the name of his home but a 3000 pc set of Mr. Universe, his wife and base. I could write several paragraphs of ideas I have for this line of sets I have imagined, but I have grass to mow. I can only hope for now.
the silicone piece, back when when it was mega blocks they had mech sets and i had spiderman mechs both red and black suit sets, and they both had a lot of the silicone pieces for friction around the joints
Mega Construx isn't thought of as a RIP off(auto correct messed that up) They are better than legos in some cases, better figures, more realistic sets. It is hard to do
I enjoyed the final season as a spectacle. The production itself was fantastic! But I'd be lying if I enjoyed the way the story was tied up. It sort of tarnished the entire series to the point where I don't know if I'd ever re-watch it, which is a huge shame (on my part). My interest in the franchise sort of died in the final few episodes. I would have considered purchasing this a year or two ago though, for sure! Major bummer they didn't come out with this sooner. Great build and review, though! Thanks, JANG!
The only problem for me is the separation of the neck and tail pieces is too obvious, it breaks the ilusion of the dragon so much, but it's still a veeeeery good build, the wings and head piece alone could make for a great moc if people want to improve those parts that i mention needed some improvement
Hey Jang, I don't know if they're exactly the same, but those silicone joint inserts look like some they used way back in 2003 with their Gyro Fighters/Racers line.
Thinking about getting this when it goes on sale.. and how I could make sure the parts are kept separate from our Legos. I never buy this brand - not too late... some of us really liked the ending.
I'd check your local toy store. if you're canadian, toys r us, if you're not, check somewhere like Target or gamestop, the latter of which carries a LOT of mega construx stuff. Otherwise Amazon ftw. (I know you said store shelves, but since TRU went out it's hard to find these things)
