LEGO Galaxy Squad Wave 1 ALL sets summary & wrap-up

I figured I'd do one video where I tried to squeeze all of the wave 1 Galaxy Squad sets on screen before I took them all apart :)  Here they are with my final thoughts!

Roundup for the week!

Another big week of LEGO content from me!  Let's sum it all up:

• Things kicked off with a Hero Factory MOC called X-OR, built with no particular rhyme or reason.
• Next came Rachnox, a spider-derived Hero Factory Brain Attack MOC using part of the core of my Cuboid Snowflake creation.
• The Weekend Off-Roader was my first System MOC in years.
• Years after capturing the footage, I released my before & after video of the Guardians of Zemai-4, following the earlier story relayed by Zeyek.
• It's not proper DNA, but the Double Helix MOC from my Hero Factory GEO series certainly looks like it from afar.
• After watching too many episodes of the 1980s GI Joe series on Netflix, I made a couple of small tanks, one very small and one just sorta small.
• The Pick-A-Brick portion of my last LEGO Shop order finally arrived.
• I continued my Galaxy Squad series reviews with the Vermin Vaporizer.
• Hero Factory GEO continued with the unveiling of a small pyramid.
• What do you know, yet another System MOC, already!  This one's a wheeled vehicle, but with only one wheel!
• I proudly showed a new-to-me 2001 Metroliner series train from eBay.
• The GEO experiment bore still more fruit, this time with a proper cube.
• With all of this new stuff, it was time to disassemble another old Bionicle MOC.
• Okay, one small thing disassembled, time to replace it with a gigantic lot of new (and old) parts!

Whew!  What a week indeed!

Old Bionicle MOC - royal pet cat

Now here's an oldie. This was one of my earliest LEGO action figure building system MOCs and as of this writing it would be the oldest surviving MOC of mine, period.  I say "would be" because I've already taken it apart, but I did get a final look at it on video for all of y'all and for all of posterity, for what it's worth.

Hero Factory GEO MOC - Cube

Here's yet another chapter in my ongoing Hero Factory GEO series of geometric shape explorations.  The similarities between this and the pyramid I did last surprised me quite a bit.  Who knows what's next.

LEGO Metroliner / club car mix & match

Now here's one nice eBay haul.  After looking up every single LEGO train set ever made, I found that there were only a handful I wanted to the point of need.  Atop the list is Metroliner, released in 1991 as set 4558, and re-released in 2001 as set 10001.  It's styled after the "Phase III" paint scheme of Amtrak trains in the United States, the engine being apparently inspired by a GE GenesisP42DC.  This all has significance to me because I used to watch Amtrak trains go by from my home when I was a kid.

At any rate, what I ended up getting is actually better for me than a full Metroliner set.  I got the powered engine, one passenger car, and a double-decker "dome car" (its real life name), sold separately in LEGO form as set #4547, the Club Car, which was re-released in 2001 as set #10002.  Check out this photo of the real thing!  And now for the little one...

LEGO Experimental Monobike - custom MOC

Here's a minifig-scale experimental single-wheel vehicle that's still in testing!  Always fun to try something out of the ordinary.  This one didn't turn out quite as well as I would have hoped form, but I'm still just low on System parts.  I need more Bricklink hauls, and more importantly, I need to do more set reviews to collect a wider variety of new pieces!

Hero Factory GEO MOC - Pyramid (small)

Another GEO series MOC, extremely simple once again, yet useful, with a new realization!
