LEGO Star Wars General Grievous' Starfighter from 2010! set 8095

Here's another readily recognizable ship from the Star Wars universe that hasn't been remade by LEGO in a handful of years.  As I cover in the video (though much of the rambling was edited out for viewers' sake), I have a personal attachment to this craft and high expectations for any model of it.

Mega Bloks Halo Covenant Commander set build review w/ Jul 'Mdama

Mega Bloks Halo is back for Summer 2015!  Well, sort of.  They're working on it.  So far, just one small set has been released in the wave, but more are sure to show up soon.  This one gets both the speed build and review treatments.

Mega Bloks Halo new articulated Elite - features & comparisons

The new release season for Mega Bloks Halo sets has finally begun, and one of the key new arrivals is this completely redesigned elite.  It's larger than before and now feature enhanced articulation (including three leg segments) and removable armor like the Spartans and CoD figures before them.  In this video I try to cover what all is new, and hopefully improved.

Built in 60 Seconds: LEGO Star Wars UCS TIE Fighter 75095

I may not have tracked the build time of this set, but my camera did.  Three hours and fifteen minutes of actual building are compressed here at up to 400x speed into a single minute of your time.

LEGO Slizer / Throwbot titan Millenium from 1999! set 8520

Did you think I'd wait until I'd gone through all of the little Slizers to get to the big one?  Nah, I couldn't wait, myself.  I wanted to see this assembled!  I didn't even know it was a 2-in-1 set until after I completed the first build...

LEGO Star Wars UCS Tie Fighter review! set 75095

From my earlier to-go box, here's LEGO's latest Star Wars Ultimate Collector's Series set, the TIE Fighter.  I expected this to look fairly accurate, but to be fairly boring to assemble and uninspired as a LEGO product on the whole.  I mean, a TIE Fighter is just two stretched hex plates with a ball on a stick between them.  As it turns out, this was enjoyable to build and I picked up some inspiration & knowledge from it!

That's eight hours of building, filming, & editing a nearly 1,700 piece set, wrapped up in 8 minutes!

The only thing I didn't pick up was the game pre-order exclusive promotional polybag.

This isn't the end of the dinosaur era for me just yet, though.  I've already filmed one additional related video and have begun to tease an upcoming second on Instagram.
