Am building this set. Seen in YouTube videos that the third leg will drop when tilt at an angle. However I am building the internal structure with the third leg and it doesn't slide down no matter what angle I tilt it to. Am I wrong somewhere or am I right?

Its not the angle that drops it, its the rotation of the shoulder joint that essentially releases the catch and lets the leg drop down.  check that the orientation of all the pieces  for the centre mechanis are in the right place as per the instructions and it should work.  perhaps post a picture of how yours looks.

So the whole set should be built first right? Then the leg will drop.

you can test it before its built as I was playing with it before i built the main body.  I think by step 104 you should have most of what is needed built to see if its working.  there is an illustration around there which shows how everything needs to be aligned.  you twist the axle that will eventually be its shoulder joint (inside the technic rectangle) which releases the catch and lets the leg drop.  Its difficult to explain but if you follow all the instructions and alignments to this point, it should work.  good luck

Im at step 105 but so far it never shows how to twist the axle and where is the shoulder joint.
