Farewell, but not goodbye forever, to YouTube.
In this video I say my farewell to TH-cam. Announcing that I will no longer be publishing videos to this channel on a regular basis. I explain why I'm making this change and that I plan to shift to use the spare time I'd normally spend working on videos to instead work on Lego MOC and mod designs.
Despite this announcement this channel will remain live and I may publish future videos to the channel if I have new Lego MOC designs to showcase! So although I am saying 'farewell' to being a Lego TH-camr, I'm not saying goodbye for ever.

      No it's not a common build style for these large 1:8 scale super car models. I can't say I'm a huge fan of the modular style having built this, but it was nice to try something different. 😊

    In my view, the reason I'd never get into this is volatility. You can't be sure the value of the product you've bought will retain it's value over the several years necessary for it to potentially increase in value. The whole point of investment is assets gaining value. Given the unpredictable nature of the market you can never be sure it will work in a favourable outcome. Its also very time consuming its the reason i never did stocks..

    • @CraftedBricks
      @CraftedBricks 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I fully agree with your overall sentiment here! ...I think you may mean investment uncertainty versus volatility though. As in it is hard to be certain on which Lego sets will do well as investment over time. It's not that the pricing of sets after they have retired goes up and down rapidly i.e. that prices are volatile. You are right on the time consuming aspect, it can consume more time than expected especially when trying to arrange sales with prospective buyers. All the best and thanks for sharing.

    It seams LEGO Star Wars are the sets that gain the most value. Of course that always depends on what era the set represents. The original trilogy gaining the most and Disney era not really wanted much.

    • @CraftedBricks
      @CraftedBricks 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes I'd agree with those points. I'd still steer clear of investing in Lego (as there are much better investment options out there), but if you are going to, investing in some of the large Star Wars UCS sets is a relatively safe option.

MOCs and Different Factions and Top 10 Castle Reviews etc. Hope you decide to come back, and Maybe do some more Castle Videos like your Enhanced Yellow Castle Video which i only recently discovered. And Which has so far, cost me a Fortune.. Those 12 Yellow Arches were Expensive!

    • @CraftedBricks
      @CraftedBricks 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think I know the TH-cam channel you are talking about. It's good that the Castle theme has had a real resurgence! I've a future Castle project in mind that's a similar scale to my Black Falcon's fortress which was a lot of fun to design and complete. I hear you on those 1x3 yellow arches, I wish they were affordable on BrickLink. Sometimes when sourcing rare parts it is worth having a look at Webrick, although not official Lego parts, if you need a high quantity of an expensive part can be a good alt option for a build.

    • @antonyblunn5925
      @antonyblunn5925 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @CraftedBricks Look forward to seeing the Result of that Project. And yes, The 1x3 Yellow Arches cost me £80. Luckily i have a contact here in the UK that can get most rare parts. I've re-designed the small Weapons Rack for my Super Enhanced Yellow Castle Project. The Blacksmith Shop and the Guard house I've Kept. May do something with the Other Corner where you put the table and Chair Eating area. Maybe a Small Jail cell in that corner like the one in the Big 6080 Lion Knights Castle from 1884. Or Both a Jail Cell and an Eating Area....

So I happen to have 3 or 4 of these, 3 space shuttles, 3 of the alien spaceships with fibre optics and about 10 of the extreme creatures sets. I also have about 20 of the hubs as spares and a collection of about 400 cables, 50 micromotors and hundreds of other motors. The cables from 1994 and back have better wires that don't shed their insulation.

    Hi Simon. I just found your channel - looks like you put in a lot of effort! I always feel bad for high quality productions that don't seem to get many views. I know what it feels like. I actually put up some very amateur videos a bit over a decade ago, some of which have gotten over 100k views - even though they are just one take home videos of modified technic sets with no explanation. I've thought about getting more involved now, after turning my channel into a successful train driver view channel, but it seems like the lego technic theme is already widely presented on TH-cam by people that do much more professional videos than I would. You did a really great job here though! I definitely share your passion for the 80's and 90's technic sets - that was the golden age! They seem to be a lot more common over in Europe than they were in Australia... and as a result I have a huge collection now 😅 Taking a break is always good when the passion is a bit low. Wishing you all the best on your future endeavours! Greetings from an Aussie train driver in Switzerland :)

    I totally get it. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your future content wherever it is. FWIW, I don't subscribe to any Lego "ambassador" channels that get free sets.

      You are unique among us Derek with not subscribing to 'Ambassador' Lego channels! I get it though. I find I rarely if ever watch 'standard Lego set review' type channels anymore. I think they have a purpose to 'show' people up-and-coming Lego sets so that people can make informed buying decisions. But as I rarely buy standard sets these days I'm more drawn to videos of cool custom Lego creations that I've not seen before. BrickVault is still good for that. Anyway thanks for commenting and have a superb weekend and week ahead!

      Aww that's very kind of you to say that! I actually still have a lot of Lego related thoughts and tips etc. that I'd like to share. I think my website is going to be the best way to that going forward, but we will see.

    I'm sorry to see you go, but happy it's on good terms! I will very much miss your videos, they were always a favourite of mine. I can appreciate how much work it would have taken to make your videos and I am a big proponent of "life before LEGO". I am sure the future holds great things for you, Simon! Thank you for all you have done, we will miss you!

      'Life before Lego' ...so true, and strangely now that I've taken the pressure off myself re TH-cam I feel I'll be able to get back to 'Lego for fun'. I've lost that somewhere along the way. I've no idea how people like Tiago or David from Solid Brix Studios can handle building and video'ing standard Lego sets week in week out - I have must respect for their dedication and hard working nature.

    Thanks Simon for the inspiration over the years. Remodeling can suck the life out of you. Stay strong. I have improved my UCS sets thanks to you and now look to improve them on my own and started UCS type MOCs. Wish you the best.

    • @CraftedBricks

      Excellent to hear Patrick and I've been impressed with your dedication and enthusiasm to modifying Lego sets. Keep it up! All the best to you too.

    Thank you Simon for all the videos you have made, I especially loved your technic car reviews! It inspired me to try the CaDA V12 and what a build. Hope you change your mind down the line. All the best with your house renovation.

    • @CraftedBricks
      @CraftedBricks หลายเดือนก่อน

      No problem Will, I'm glad you have enjoyed some of the videos I've made to date. That CaDa v12 model is superb, I still have mine! I actually have a dilemma with CaDa as I promised them I'd review Suhan Ji's next model (he designed the v12 Hypercar). So perhaps to honour that promise, and if they send me set, I could make a simpler showcase style video of the finished model. I'll see what happens.

    Hi Simon, sorry to hear your having a break but always do the best for yourself you only have one life and you should enjoy it. I my self had to postpone the start of my youtube until now because of house renovations so I know how that feels.

    • @CraftedBricks
      @CraftedBricks หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for your support and comments of the years ChilledOutBricks! I appreciated and still do your support. All the best to you also with your renovations. I'm hopping to have mine done prior to Christmas, I've just had some major issues with a flooring supplier and installer that has delayed me, been incredibly expensive and the job is still 1/2 done. It will get sorted out eventually.

    • @ChilledOutBricks
