History YMMV / Galidor

* DorkAge: The entire series itself for Franchise/{{LEGO}} fans, even LEGO themselves. It's often considered their worst-performing toy-line, from which they've tried to distance themselves as much as possible. This is mostly because the toys required very minimal construction, and the pieces were bulky and overspecialized, mostly incompatible with "normal" LEGO parts. The theme served as a lesson for the company not to rely too much on tie-in media (like the TV show, video game and UsefulNotes/McDonalds promo), and instead focus on what they had already excelled at: making building toys.[[note]]Interestingly, one of the fake movie posters included in the 2017 [[WesternAnimation/TheLegoNinjagoMovie Ninjago City]] LEGO set advertises a ''Galidor'' movie, depicting how Nick and Allegra might have looked as minifigures.[[/note]]

* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: The old Creator/FoxKids website had a tie-in video game for the series that was apparently very enjoyable to play.

** In a meta-sense, the infamous Nick figure for the ''McDonald's'' tie-in toy has become far more well-known to casual LEGO fans than the actual action figures produced for the toyline.

* UncannyValley: Many of the toys were guilty of this owing to the entire "glinching" theme, which lent itself to some very awkward and even unfortunate configurations among the action figures.

* AccidentalInnuendo: "[[FoeYay Nick's inside Gorm]]," from the last episode. [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Context doesn't help much]], since he is literally inside of Gorm's body.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Gorm]], [[MultiversalConqueror Conqueror of a Thousand Worlds]], is the overlord of the Outer Dimensions, seeking to take over Galidor throughout the series. Having enslaved and wiped out entire species, Gorm also burnt Jens's organic body; wiped out Euripides's people and Tepol's armies; and keeps the Outer Realms dependent on him using a [[ComputerVirus virus on their computers]]. Formerly the Chief Councilman of Queen Raina's court, Gorm saw her romance with Samuel Bluetooth as a threat to his power, and set up a riot on the world of Kek to kill him; failing that, he turns on Raina herself, later trying to kill her child with Samuel, seemingly tossing Samuel to his fiery death. In his pursuit of Nick, Gorm captures his friend Allegra, nearly forcing her into a pit of wasps; tries to corrupt Nick himself; and later forces Allegra to listen as Nick is mauled by a beast of his. Finally reaching the gates of Galidor, Gorm's self-justifications are dismantled by his former pupil Lind, at which point he absorbs her and Nick's friends into an explosive orb he intends to launch, willing to risk Galidor's destruction to breach the gates. Even when beaten, it is revealed he has been keeping Samuel alive and captive for years.

* TheWoobie: Euripides, whose entire race [[LastOfHisKind was destroyed by Gorm]], Jens, whose [[BodyHorror body was destroyed]] by Gorm, and Nepol, whose physique was diminished by Gorm.

* HilariousInHindsight: In "Go For the Bronze," Gorm describes Nick as "the Wrestling/UltimateWarrior."

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: An action figure franchise that was LEGO [[InNameOnly]] owing to its ''complete'' lack of brickbuilding and incompatibility with virtually every other set in the LEGO catalog cements ''Galidor'' as this for the entire LEGO brand.
