Episode 29: Love Letter to Lumibricks – Steamphant

In this episode of Vets and Bricks, T dives into the steampunk world with a review of the Steamphant from the Lumibricks Steampunk series. This mechanical elephant is loaded with personality, packed with gears, and dressed in full steampunk style—because apparently even elephants deserve Victorian-era industrial fashion. The Steamphant comes in at 1,055 pieces with a retail price of $59.99, giving it a surprisingly strong price-per-piece ratio. That earned it a Brick Set Value Score of: High Value. The build also includes intricate mechanical details and display elements inspired by classic steampunk aesthetics. T also shows off more of Planet Darth, the ever-growing display world, and needs help from the community. The question is simple but important: Where should the oversized steampunk elephant live on Planet Darth? Front and center? Guarding a city? Roaming the desert wastes? The audience decides. LEGO versus Lumibricks: For a fun comparison, the 1,055-piece part count puts Steamphant in the same territory as sets like LEGO City Space Rocket Assembly & Transport, which also has 1,055 pieces but originally retailed around the $100 range depending on retailer and time of release—making Steamphant notably cheaper for a similar piece count. Watch the episode to see the build, the details, and decide where this mechanical elephant belongs. 🧱 Set Details: • Lumibricks Steamphant (Steampunk Series) • Pieces: 1,055 • Price: $59.99 • Brick Set Value Score: High Value Drop your vote in the comments and help decide the future home of the Steamphant on Planet Darth.
