Top 10 Most Disappointing LEGO Sets!

hello Jessie good here or shall I say just to negative because I'm counting down the top 10 sets that disappointed me the most from Lego for a set to disappoint me I had to be hyped for it before receiving it or before the set was revealed this is all my personal opinion and some of these might just be good sets that have a major aspect of them that let me down don't take this list too seriously and at the end of the day I love so many other things about Lego but let's get right into this starting off the list is the lego Back to the Future time machine don't get me wrong the backs of future time machine is a good set in 2013 looking back it was pretty revolutionary at its release being the first Lego ideas set or Lego Cuusoo set as it was called at the time to be based on a film and the first leg was set to be based on an 80s film that wasn't Star Wars or Indiana Jones and it was a rare standalone movie set Back to the Future 1 and 2 or some of my favorite movies of all time but that didn't stop me from calling out a very poor design choice I'll let 2013 me speak for it why is it blocky like that what's sad maybe it's basically rigid this has a hood piece Lego made a hood piece and this is what they give us this is what they give us this looks why are there studs here I need to have a few questions okay stop stop stop but yeah choosing to make the front out of tiles and plates instead of the sloped piece and the original product was so disappointing to see upon reveal I guess Lego wanted to make this set a bit more affordable as adding that sloped piece would have added a lot more volume and pieces closer to the original model as I said before this set was really revolutionary for the time and because of this like it weren't experts at developing and marketing a niche product like it but at the end of the day I'm glad we ended up getting this as a set and I hope in the future Lego remakes it to fix the front design now at the very least I'm glad this that came with fantastic minifigures as the original teaser that leaked didn't even show doc and Marty if they were missing this set could have easily taken the number one spot I've roasted the Lego Star Wars 2016 def star extensively on this channel so I'll keep it brief in this video as somebody who held off the 2008 def start hearing the rumor of the build for this one being bigger and better I had high expectations enclosed removable walls would have tremendously bumped the price up but it's what I had in mind however like I just ended up throwing in around 200 extra pieces to stabilize some builds of the old version for extra minifigures and bump the price up $100 even taking into account inflation at the time of the release that one $100 price increase wasn't justified the disappointment comes from that price hike for something that could have been so much more original its design but nope just a few improvements here and there over the 2008 build than nothing much else new for a more recent example it's the Iron Man holed armor set this is definitely one set a lot of people love that I'm not a fan of before it came out I knew a hole of armor set for endgame was coming that was relatively expensive the only hall of armor set released before was a small section with the Iron Man 3 Malibu mansion which was two spots for armor suits naturally I expected part of the Malibu mansion to be the set but then Lego just gave us a strip of armor displays and not much more I felt like this set was incomplete and drastically overpriced in that sense don't get me wrong though the new included armors are incredible it's the first time we're getting Lego figures for the mark-5 141 but then they made the first Lego eager suit this very awkward buildable figure with a strange helmet design taking up more of the piece count and bumping the price and that could be said with the outriders as well I know a lot of you guys are a fan of this set but again this is just my personal disappointments and this is a huge one that just came out it's no secret I'm a huge Lego Toy Story fan I own every set they've released for the theme new and old in the original Lego Toy Story retail exclusive sets from 2010 where some of the more interesting additions to line constructors arrghh released in the first wave as a Walmart exclusive I think it's a great billable Lego figure of one of my favorite characters from the Toy Story franchise based on appearance alone even as a kid Zerg always looked the coolest to me for the second wave there were two more retail exclusives that Pizza Planet rescue for Target which the icon of this vehicle alone makes it one of the most laughter toy story sets in general and the garbage-truck getaway mmm definitely nothing special with this set yet not a particular expense of minifigure if that being said when I initially heard rumors from my close sources of Toy Story 4 getting a retail exclusive that was a roller coaster set my mind wandered much strange and amazing characters would they include here what incredible niche builds can they make because it's a retail exclusive something something Zurg but then at the 2019 New York Toy Fair this was shown no exclusive character just to that appear and far better sets which you can get far superior versions in the Disney cmf line from three years back heck no exclusive an alternate face for buzz just the same one that is used in every toy story for us that he appears in home my disappointment didn't end there because when I bought the Toy Story 4 sets I was quick to discover buzzes face print looks horrible honestly there was so much wasted potential here none of the Toy Story 4 sets have key characters to the franchise like ham and bullseye despite the original team having a couple sets with them and none of Bonnie's original toys have appeared in Lego form at all and we know they'll be in this movie let alone the possible new characters who didn't appear in these sets and ironically despite the name being cold thrill coaster it's just an oval with no dips or any exciting parts to the track in my opinion it's the least exciting set of the line not only in its build alone but for the minifigure choices as well yes I know there's some decent pieces in this set but I'm coming at this with the perspective as a die-hard Toy Story fan a last initial rumor of the set being a retail exclusive in the United States wasn't even true even with the inconsistency of the set number ending the line in Toy Story 4 sets despite it being cheaper than the biggest set it's like this set was a last-minute idea rushed for release as angry as I sound with this entry if we didn't have the original sets with the missing characters or 5 other sets in this one this set would have been a lot higher on the list but as it stands it's not something I think about too often a wasted space for sure but there's many more sets that disappointed me even more than this little coaster did every year I wait for the Lego winter village set to be revealed I've purchased all them since its start in 2009 except for one which said is it a 2015 winter village toy shop my disappointment was evident upon reveal Plus this time it was $20 more expensive in many ways this was a precursor to the Deathstar fiasco the following year why not just release a new toy shop same idea totally new design as much as I hate to say it it felt lazy and it was a bigger shame since this set from the year before is one of my favorite like a winter village sets Santa's workshop oh well at least we've been getting some very good and original winter village sets since the release of this blender one of the biggest and most expensive LEGO sets I own is the ghostbusters firehouse from 2016 which was released for $350 in United States keep in mind I like the original Ghostbusters film this is primarily based off of I don't love it but it's a classic after all I really dug how the interior of the set looked it was around the first time they made a bunch of money off of YouTube videos so I plan on getting this January 1st 2016 and I bit a bit more than I can chew with that hole I started building it at the time for like a month then then just abandoned the product was until July 2017 where on a whim I decided to revisit the project and finish it over a couple of days I had it built and on display and I still do to this day but I began to realize something as time passed the exterior for this is so boring I mean yeah it's accurate representing the firehouse HQ to the point I like that they added parts for the ghost to stick out has a little bit of flavor as does the area on the rooftop but at the end of the day I think it might be too accurate in size it's massively bigger than majority of other Lego buildings and that makes it harder to display with other Lego models all right I do take fault for not having the ecto-1 next to it but I'm working on rebuilding my copy of that set I can't help but feel disappointed and kind of clueless on where to put this build there's only two sets from the original Ghostbusters movie not counting the dimension stuff so I can really only display those two sets meant for one another makes me wish Lego made a huge buildable Stay Puft just to add something more rural building around this big bland HQ alright that's all I got for my hot take on to the next entry this entry begins the big Christmas gifts I were disappointed with it's the 2008 Lego agents mobile command center I kept this Lego catalog in the backseat of my car leading up to Christmas 2008 and there's two sets I wanted the most town plan and the mobile command center town plan is one of my favorite sets of all time mobile command center on the other hand went wrong with the roof my roof for this set would always break out it's attachment to the back wall and not close properly I'll be honest and you'll hear me say this later in the list may have built it wrong since I didn't really have many big sets around the time I got this one but the other half of me thinks there was something legitimate ly flawed with the roof connection as you can see in the 2014 remake for ultra agents Lego used the newly introduced mini ball joints and this worked tremendously well I have no problems with it I'm sure the comments will be filled with people saying they didn't have problems with this set but I'm just conveying how this set left me feeling for the years I had it built and honestly I had to leave the roof open for the time it was built thankfully the interior was the most fun part about the set so I did end up getting some enjoyment out of it Christmas 2007 was the first time I ever asked for specific LEGO sets as gifts and came to my biggest leg of his appointment for the number three spot is the Lego creator Ferris wheel from 2007 this was my first Lego Ferris wheel outside of the fabula inline and that instantly drew me to it I was very excited to build it but my disappointment came after was finished this set was not made with many figures in mind but I didn't evaluate this before getting it so when I filled the gondolas with minifigs the motorisation aspect didn't work it would move a second bounce back then rest still and played around with it adding like only four minifigs but nothing worked and it was just such a letdown keep in mind as possible I built this original one wrong at the time it was also the biggest like I said I had then 2015 Lego released a version actually suited for minifigures with an overall better build and that retired before I ended up buying it I was so burnt from this last one I was iffy on purchasing another but hey with the original at least I had fun taking it apart in 2017 ah you know this had a great life I'll miss you Ferris wheel the other set I got for Christmas 2007 was the mb0 one eagle command base from Lego Mars mission bear with me there's not too many pictures of this set and of course I haven't taken apart basically by pushing these huge pumps a slide piece would transport aliens or resources through the tubes and even fire missiles oh and the set was advertised to have a working elevator these play features were enough to make this one of my top picks for Christmas then I got it and built it the pump feature barely worked if you push that pump down hard there will be a little bit of movement on the alien slides but most the time I don't remember getting to the other side the missile would just slip with the push of the pump I wouldn't even call it being fired the elevator function is based on this long Technic axle and the bellow ever platform is way too small and unlike the ferris wheel which was a great display piece the overall design of the set couldn't even Salvage it in my opinion the design is so open and barren it's a bit of an eyesore usually I like when a playset is all connected but this one hinders the design since it's a pain in the butt to transform heck the only build not connected as a shuttle which would always fall apart with some very loose piece connections it may sound like I'm being too hard on the set and well I think this one might deserve it the mb0 one eagle command base might have soured my whole opinion of the Mars mission theme in general it's not good to let one bad apple ruin the perception of a whole theme and in recent years I'd been more open to Mars mission but back when the sets were on the shelves because of this step I avoided the theme like the plague the most disappointing Lego set to me was well like your dimensions okay may not be a single set but many things about this game let me down I was so hyped for the idea of a lego video game of just random properties mashed-up they sold me at the fact the Simpsons were gonna be in a Lego Simpsons game was like a dream come true I was imagining something along the lines of The Simpsons hit and run one of my favorite licensed games well I ended up getting was so so buggy you can say it's my fault as I was running the Wii U version on a basic 8 gigabyte Wii U but then I think at no point was it said that the game would be closed and your unplayable on such a console I'd get far into levels only for the game to crash leaving me to redo a bunch of the level or the entire level in general and what they did for the Simpsons was close near a scan for example they sold a Bart Fun Pack but Bart didn't have a voice a matter of fact the only Simpsons character withers where anybody portrayed by dan Castellaneta so a Homer Krusty America wimpy of all people and then Johnny Cash is space coyote since CD games chose to make a level pack based around the mysterious voyage of Homer I guess cuz it didn't require more than two voice actors it's so butchered from the episode Marge says nothing nor do the kids or participants of the chili competition for the most part and keep in mind that dan Castellaneta recorded no new voices for the games so all of whom are Krusty in the two lines America Quimby had are hastily ripped from the show with different quality on each I was so let down with the execution of our only Lego Simpsons game but what about the actual sets well again this is the most disappointing lego sets the theme games not the worst because the minifigures we got in this line were incredible never did I think we'd get more back to the Future sets including a specialized hairpiece for Doc Brown Lego gremlins and et in so many properties most importantly lego sonic now allow me to sound entitled for a minute it's that we didn't get more than one sonic pack no tales minifigure was ever released here and it was lame that each of the sets didn't have instructions to build the vehicles of the packs the game was required I get why that was a thing they wanted to make the sets interact with the game but I made building them a pain in the butt when my game barely worked and that's like a dimensions it just barely worked as in the minifigures were amazing but the main purpose the game this expansive toys life adventure was cut short as a game reached at its third years with many potential expansions canceled and many errors written throughout either way that's my list for the most disappointing lego sets this video was made possible by my lovely patreon
