here it is everyone one of the most
anticipated things from the lego movie -
it's the Rexcelsior 1800 pieces go into
this and the finished product weighs
just shy of 4 pounds or 1.8 kilos its
Rex's big mothership a spaceship that is
shaped like a fist or a gauntlet kind of
like a dark blue Infinity Gauntlet with
no gems in universe it's able to smash
through all sorts of things with great
ease and well the real thing is actually
fairly sturdy itself and you can
probably do some real-life damage with
it the interior definitely seemed rather
hollow as I was building it but once
it's all complete it's very sturdy
there's an integral interlocking Technic
brick skeleton that goes through the
whole thing that really holds everything
together in one place which is a good
thing because it's designed to be held
like this you're supposed to actually
swish this thing around it's probably
the largest thing that Lego has ever
made that's designed to be handled quite
literally as well as figuratively I mean
you don't even need to use this hand
under here if you don't want you can
just hold it like that and swish it
around with a single hand now it is
fairly heavy and you might not want to
do this for a long time there are also
some kind of sharp edges around this
handle area so it's not the most
comfortable thing that's for sure but
it's definitely quite doable it's not
quite the same though as wearing a
gauntlet I wish there was an easy way
and there definitely isn't with all the
all the Technic stuff going through the
center but I wish there was an easy way
to remove a lot of that centre stuff and
to move the handle position closer to
the middle of the ship it would just be
really cool if the main grip was
somewhere around here inside of the body
in the center so that the whole thing
could really operate as an extension of
your own fist now with the grip that we
do get you see that white thing back
there that's actually intended to be a
trigger you put your index finger over
that and when you pull it it fires off a
spring-loaded shooter at the front
strictly speaking it's supposed to be a
rapid-fire system with this gravity-feed
magazine
of spring-loaded shooters that are ready
to fire just moving itself down and
being ready to fire off the next round
or the next bolt every time you pull the
trigger however in practice I've really
tried to make space for this to allow it
to just fall down in there nicely
it just has too much too much friction
from side-to-side and it easily gets
into a canted position a little bit a
little bit off where it just doesn't
want to fall so you may need to put a
hand up there and just push this down as
you pull the trigger to be able to go
through all of those also depending upon
manufacturing tolerances in some parts
you may not have this problem at all but
with the parts that I got with this set
yep
get stuck and there was no way to
properly fix it I try it for like a half
an hour
there are also some spare spring-loaded
shooter bolts here in a separate clip
and those do need to be manually loaded
let's check out some details though and
there are plenty of them surprisingly
this Lowell bridge tower looks like just
a bridge tower right no small-scale
build but it opens up look at that
they have nano fig versions of both
Emmett and Rex with space for both in
there even when it's closed not only
that but you can remove all of this and
all of this to expose even more
nano-scale interior this is the main
command deck here with some consoles and
panels and little nano scale seats
suggested with 1x1 panels as you move
back you get into the skatepark
which has a couple of nano scale
skateboards represented by blue colored
rollerskates and they also have a spot
for some water cooler discussion in
spite of the design focus on strength
there actually is some interior detail
in the main hull as well this is just an
opening hangar door but you can bring
down this entire side to see a lot of
detail in there this is all too small
for my fingers so use the arrow got a
couple of spots to hold on to these
micro scale or nano scale builds for
ships on the left is one that's called
an interrupter according to the official
description but I think perhaps it's
supposed to be a Rex we
this is a nano scale version of Rex's
Xplorer I'll show you these up more
closely separately later on but there's
also a little bit of a moving crane over
here and then a suggestion of a ladder
that you can go up and then this is a
cargo storage area and then on the lower
most level is a rec room with a pool
table or a snooker table there and a
whole row of micro or nano scale arcade
cabinets along the back as well as of
course a vending machine and then down
here you have a huge screen with huge
speakers on either side so you can play
a video game or watch a movie and
there's still more even on this one side
because this entire panel comes down and
though there is a lot of empty space
here there is still some more small
detail with a couple of vending machines
there console over here closer to us and
in the center is a holographic nav
display I'll have to pull some of that
out so you can see it a little bit
better it's just too far in there and
too shaded here's the same thing from
the other side and with some more light
getting through and you can also rotate
that Center display but again it's still
a little bit tough to see there's
actually an exclusive printed piece
inside of that clear globe there's a
look at it by itself so it's a trans
light blue minifig head and in fact it's
printed on both sides and then finally
on this side of the fist is another
hangar bay and here you actually have to
get your fingers in there and pull the
thing out or just take the entire ship
and just lean it over to the side this
is and it's rescue rocket again I'll
show you that more closely but you can
also put one of the other ships in there
whenever X's phone and as long as this
thumb is out of the way you can also
pull down this small panel here and
that's a gym clearly and it even has its
own indoor rock climbing wall I forget
if this room had a specific movie
connection to it but you can see there's
just a platform there where you can put
a nano figure or a small Raptor and have
them listening to some very very loud
music speaking of the Raptors there are
five of them included in this set using
the baby dinosaur mold that I absolutely
serve you get two variants here so the
dark blue ones on the Left have the blue
the blue paint or the blue print on them
for the I H ones left eye and then you
get these gunmetal gray ones which I
believe are going to remain exclusive to
this set and they have the lime green
markings on them and that includes the
marking on their left eyes for tiny
scale builds we get two of these
fighters and they have the different
color scheme on either side so just the
one slash of the lime green going
through this is a tiny version of Rex's
R explore which looks very good to me
the shaping is pretty spot-on you can
immediately recognize what it's supposed
to be and from the shape and the color
scheme you can immediately recognize
Emmett's house converted into the rescue
rocket here so you know it's pretty
appropriate for its size a little nice
detailing on the back and that last
thing over there is just a well it's
forklift you know to using your cargo
bay here's a closer look at the Nano
fake versions of Emmett and Rex and
these have a tremendous amount of detail
for how small they are I definitely
could not have asked for more at this
scale they are immediately recognizable
they I think they have even more
detailed and they really needed here so
I absolutely cannot complain one bit and
I love nano figs and I actually have
some more great news about these two
that I'll share with you in just a
minute or two first though the
minifigure versions of those two
characters on the left is double trouble
Emmet as he's trying to make himself
more cool and seem more mature like Rex
and he's kind of transforming himself
into Rex or trying to and he's got the
exact same vest there it's actually the
exact same piece with the dark blue and
the same printing on it but at least his
legs are his normal ones and around the
back you can again see the same printing
and you can also see that there's a
little bit of additional printing for a
secondary face for this version of Emmet
and that's where
he has tried to wipe off the stubble
then he is drawn on to his face and you
also get an angry very seriously angry
not comically angry but seriously angry
version of a face for Rex and here's the
great news I teased about the Nano
figures because these are the spares I
was left with after building the set and
everyone who gets this set should get
the same set of spares
I used the word set they're too much but
you know what I'm talking about these
are exclusive printed nano figures and
you get an extra of each which is
fantastic I love that of course you
would expect to get a lot of spare
pieces in such a large set but just in
general this selection here puts a smile
on my face
comparing the wreck cells here to the
other big wreck ship the explore I'm
happy with this size difference because
while it is noteworthy and it is obvious
it's not extreme you know I think that
if somebody really wanted a decent sized
Rex ship from the movie but didn't want
to spend $150 u.s. for the wreck cells
here you wouldn't have to feel bad
settling if you will for the Rex floor
and I think there explore actually looks
better from some angles and has some
some nicer shaping to it that's more
interesting but you know the size
difference is just not overwhelming as
for that 150 dollar price tag well I
think it's very fair for 1800 pieces not
all of them being small by any means and
some of them being rather large and for
the amount of content that you get here
the amount of stuff that is here the
overall size of the thing how sturdy it
is how good the build is all the little
nano scale stuff this is good I think
it's good for your money I feel like you
get more stuff here with this set for
that price then you do with many other
sets of this price for other large
single builds and spaceships from other
themes overall I'm very happy with this
thing and the only disappointment is the
spring-loaded shooter arrangement which
doesn't work so well for me because of
the specific
arts that I got if you get one of these
and it works for you
excellent it's because of differences in
the parts and not because I built
anything wrong I assure you if you want
to see the full build of this all four
hours of it you have two options one is
to watch it in real time you want to
just throw it on in the background
I have distilled down just the sounds of
the clicking together of individual
pieces no music and no speeding up or
anything and I tried to be careful with
the process so hopefully it'll be a
relaxing watch for folks who want that
sort of content if you want to really
sit down and watch the build but you
don't have four hours I've got a roughly
half hour version which i think is a
decent length for the size of this thing
doesn't speed it up too much and that
version has some hopefully relaxing
music to go with it I will link to both
versions of the build on screen in just
a moment so check out one of those if
you want to thank you very much for
watching this review I will talk to you
very soon
