first thought seeing that pod was using it as a chassis for a titanfall-like mech and that first moc executed that idea perfectly
-
One day I will find the Egg at a random Flea Market and it will be glorious.
-
I don't know where I read it, so don't quote me on this, but I heard Galidor was so bad that most, if not all, of Bionicle's profits went to recouping the losses from Galidor.
-
3:52 "I would argue it looks more like a toy [from McDonald's]." It's funny because there was a small run of Galidor toys from McDonald's to promote the show in ~2003! I personally had the Nick and Jens toys from that promotional line.
-
I had every Galidor set as a kid including the egg ship and the Kek Powerizer. Still have them to this day. As a kid I loved them, so even though they are a failure from a business standpoint, I have good memories of then as a child.
-
thank you for showing the moc by Steve Puckett. I remember seeing that Galador mech moc a long time ago but didn't know who made it, and I couldn't find his mocs.
-
Mechs are cool, but this piece also looks like a helmet, imagine using it as a head for a giant moc
-
you could change the rubber sockets for 3d printed sockets that are compatible with standard technic connections, massively increasing usability
-
Galidor may have almost bankrupt lego but MAN it's so underated(in my opinion at least)
-
I remember seeing Steve Puckett's mocs years ago. Had no idea what Galidor was, and was so confused as to what the pieces were that he was using. I really feel I need to get some more Galidor pieces. Keep seeing such cool mocs utilizing them!
-
I've gotta highlight Kevin H's entry to the Biocup this year "The Harvester" where he does just what you were describing at the end of the video!
-
i never even knew this existed and neither did I think it would be this big, holy crap.
-
Lego element moulds cost 200,000$ to 360,000$! That is a pretty good house in some places!
-
Man I remember Galidor…the show was okay. It was a wonky sci-fi thing. Then Lego got in and the figures were SPENDY.
-
I still remember having this thing and a few other Galidor sets, never knew what it even was about and still always loving it.
-
I really loved the idea of swappable limbs, I was a big fan of medabots, but I just would really have to agree with other people's opinions on this series, to put it politely. Would love to see a similar idea. Buildable action figures with limbs you are encouraged to swap around.
-
Never knew this existed. Looks rather cool, but I doubt most people would even know it is Lego.
-
Thank you for reminding me of the name “Glidor” I’ve been wracking my brain for years trying to remember what it was called.
-
I definitely had the module as kid, getting it from a garage sale loose and was definitely aware of Lego. Had no clue it was Lego as kid makes sense why it ended up in a garage sale.
