John82 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I hope they do the mr freeze promo in April, would be great to add to this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citymorgue Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I'm with you guys on his voice. I've seen a couple videos from him, and I tend to just look past his voice because he does pretty good reviews. As far as what I watched, it just further confirms what I was originally thinking... I'll be passing on this without a doubt. It does not look like a $270 set, and like people's complaints with UCS Hoth, it's too much, or really it's lacking in everything. All I could gather from this set, aside from some cool unique pieces, is that people will only buy this set for the minifigures, or people will buy it to part it out. It's just so unfortunate, because it could've been a really cool set. I just don't understand what's going on with Lego here... this is now 2 exclusives, (this batcave, and Assault on Hoth,) that seriously look like a kid put it together. Ugh, I hope this isn't some new trend from Lego. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 He's at least clean in his videos and kids enjoy them. I'm thrown off too, but my son talks about him like he's our neighbor he just talked to about the latest LEGO set. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyHand Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I agree that Jang doesn't have the most pleasant voice to listen to, but his reviews of Lego sets are thorough and informative. Not shying away from giving criticism where criticism is due. I like that he touches all the details of the sets he reviews and I usually find myself agreeing with his opinions. His voice is something he can't do much about it, but his reviews are worth it. So I do listen to them whenever he reviews a set I'm interested in, and I have subscribed to his YouTube channel as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He talks too much for me.. his reviews are too long, but yeah my kids loved his Bionicle reviews and I know he speaks respectfully unlike many other videos Youtube recommends when a video is over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenxxx Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Okay... couldn't watch the whole video either.. but hey... some of us were born with an annoying, nasal voice... what's a guy supposed to do ? ... hire a voice actor to dub over our (free to watch) youtube videos? Anyway... about the set... I don't much care for it either. The main thing is... I don't remember the Batcave having so much tan / brown. I thought it had more of a bluish-grey feel to it. I've been searching youtube for images from the TV series... kind of hard to find good ones, but now I see that there was brown cave in the background. It must be the grey computers, floor, etc, in the foreground that left me with that impression. Along the same lines (my vague recollections of the show) I have no real memory of the nuclear reactor (a center-piece of this model). Again - reviewing the tape - I see it there in the old footage. It was a big part of the backdrop of the Batcave. I just don't remember it. Did it play much of a role in the series? Maybe it's just me, but when I think of 60's Batcave, I think of Batmobile (nicely done here), Bat poles, bat computers, a bluish-grey cave environment, and maybe an ivy-covered exit for the Batmobile (with a road block sign that automatically flipped up). I think they could have made the reactor more of a "background feature", to add more floor space, computers, gadgets, etc. Including stately Wayne Manor is a nice idea, but cannot really be done justice in a set like this. They could've eliminated the entire back side of Wayne Manor, and added more detail and more "cave-iness" to the cave. For me, the colors and gadgets of the 6860 Batcave bring back more of the feeling of the old Batcave than this new set does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I think you've got to have the back side, for the wall climbing. If there was something that was a staple of the 66 Batman series, it was the climbing the wall and talking to a celebrity making a cameo in the window every episode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely that was a great part of the series. But I don't remember them climbing Wayne Manor. And it aint the Batcave. Yes... absolutely a nifty idea... very fun... it definitely adds to this (lacking) model. I would enjoy playing with this part of the model if I built it myself. But it also adds a lot of height, cost, and piece count that could have been used to make a much better Batcave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
