If you can go back quite a ways in years regarding a Lego Parts with studs opposite each other depending on which way you look at the park might be considered top and bottom is there is not very many but there were a few even back in the day I remember the old wind-up motor story about this at the end to.
The winding Keys did have four studs on top and bottom of the key for wanting the motor.
The other one that Springs to mind the original light grey / old Gray some people refer to them as piston Ron ends not sure exactly what how to describe this had studs opposite which is also how the original Pistons were attached back in the day I use both of these to invert studs here and there and also there was not very many options for studs not on top building but there were a few back in the day and of course you did have the Technic bricks to do this as well but in the opposite direction but I got creative back in the day of course and yes of course people line up using so-called illegal building techniques all the time yeah sure if you lost something together long-term might do damage but still is being creative nonetheless.
Also someone did a test with the fights shoved between studs and left it there long enough to see if damaged was done permanently and yes there was the Peace one-upping warped permanently so that does kind of put this to bed as to why it's an illegal building technique but then again they did shove plates in there between every single study that was feasible to do so but it was a good test to see what would happen sorry don't know name of the channel and or the video perhaps if somebody Vines this or is aware of it my 10-foot this hearing comments for others link to video that is it would actually really show what is the issue and might help with some of the age-old questions and so-called illegal techniques and why it can really happen and yes totally agree on clips and plates and other techniques like this clips and tiles I broke a party are they doing this and these were new ones not somebody that been in my collection for years have not sworn off doing this yet but would avoid it and also some parts with the eclipse the older ones were a bit worse for taking apart and reassembling over and over for example those flying pieces some of those tend to get damaged easily so this on one of the other channels for Lego and what they had done is typically would leave them on a bar piece as a flag and just leave them assembled to avoid breaking them if you've got enough it'd be worth doing I'm considering doing this myself.
Since plenty of the parts available my collection so far.
When going through something or winding up getting pressed together or otherwise but by accident in the process and didn't realize that so many things are compatible with Technic gears such as 111 round plate stacked make a gear rack and the ones with the center hole opens up possibilities for mechanisms that would probably not be possible otherwise and and ways that would work much better than others and more compact as well.
And also using an axle and a worm gear not as a rotary element but as a linear element as well.
Hand idea to do this for a semaphore for Lego trains!
Could we use either one of those techniques pretentiously even as well.
Regarding the LEGO whynot motor spoke about earlier with the whining key portion of things.
I remember as a kid I first saw this I think it was Ben KB Toys back in the day potentially but I do remember this was Oxmoor Mall in Lewisville I had literally just bought it opened up box stuck the wheels on grab that winding key I was sitting on the bench at Oxmoor Mall and send it down the floor from that bench.
Place looks quite different now and ironically there's now a Lego retail store there was my first time going last Christmas.
Been there twice now.
Also ditto with Bricks & minifigures in the vicinity.
That was my Christmas for last year $100 plus budget for anything Lego awesome.
Yeah in my forties so it's still in the hobby have been what seems like from day one!
Also at the same mall I do remember there being when those Lego displays they had for example The Monuments in and More in Washington d.c. much much more.
Right down to the Liberty Bell.
I remember there was a competition to guess how many parts was in hey structure which was in front of the same toy store which I referred to earlier.
One of the things that was awesome to behold was the one by one windows the old-school ones that were included in sets like the yellow Castle.
Probably sometime back in the 80s or thereabouts not sure what the year was exactly one of the things is that how Lego designers were not allowed to cut or modify brakes or anyting however lighting was being done that was not Lego which holes were drilled and much more so yeah broke the rules there so if they can do things like this so can we
Funnily enough I use the technique at 3:44 for the cylinder spaces for my Lego steam trains which allows me to use the mailbox piece to make the underside along with some more technic stuff.i use the holes presented by the pieces for a steric purposes while allowing me to easily attach it to the underside of the main frame of thebuild
That chainsaw piece at the thumbnail is so nostalgic,i had the gray version of it,i miss when ninjago sets use this piece
They still use it it’s just less common
I think the last set that had it was one of the 2019 or 2020 police sets where the criminals cut down a tree
Yeah
same
It was also in legacy sets like zane’s epic battle set it has the piece at a grey color and I bet the thunder raider has it aswell
I rember lego chima using it and aaaaaaa
I still love how certain building techniques are called "illegal". Makes me feel like I'm living life on the edge.
Well, illegal in terms of LEGO means that these techniques can literally destroy the pieces over time.
@@maxxor-overworldhero6730 I didn't know that - thanks for the info :)
@@d.w952 No problem.
Tiago Catarino, a former LEGO designer did a video a couple of days ago here on TH-cam explaining why the illegal techniques are called illegal.
@@mikosoft in case anyone wants to see it th-cam.com/video/jWtZUzkvQ2E/w-d-xo.html
The orange, yellow circular thing at 2:08 does not work! It will come apart if you move it.
Indeed it seems like there are no interconnections between each stack of wedge tiles. You just get 18 separated wedge stacks. I can imagine it is very hard to build this without moving it.
If you flip the first build with the studs facing forward it looks like a cute robot with treads
1:35 that one is actually illegal. It stresses the technic connector slightly by jamming a closed stud into it. If you use a technic brick however, one that has a hollow stud stop, this becomes legal since the hollow stud allows the technic connector to have its relief. Refer to Tiago Catarino's video for that one.
Crazy studf
So the right one works since the jumper plate stud is hollow ?
@@pierrekimmel7364 Yep. As is the new 1x1 double-height plate. Or a hollow round Stud…
@@kailahmann1823 thanks :)
iirc it's legal for one stud to connect to a technic hole, but not two or more
My biggest complaint about a lot of these techniques is that, yes, they are pretty cool, and yes they get studs on opposite sides of each other, but that's all they do for the most part. I've used a couple of these when actually building or designing, but the rest are like thought experiments. Not really practical outside of the initial concept.
True. The one with the claw and circular pieces does have a spot for an axle in the middle, so maybe you can do something with that to attach technic pieces or something.
annnd most are illegal placementsanyhow!
I think at 4:03 the concept is cool but the side effect is illegal 😳
I was looking for this comment XD
I don’t see how anything there is illegal. The pieces are aligned to be able make that shape, and the pieces on the sides are only connected by one stud.
@@Pandacalifornia u missed the joke.. look in the middle of this build... The cross...
@@Niko-sv9gr Yeah I figured that out later since everyone kept mentioning the same one.
*distant Germany anthem playing*
4:08 has an interesting shape in the middle
Video suggestion: So I just finished building the newest Ecto-1 and while building I noticed something in the instructions that I don't think I have ever seen before. Earlier in the build it has you put two 2x2 yellow round bricks underneath the front fender but later the instructions have you remove those two pieces to use for part of the roof decoration. I don't think I've ever seen instructions have you remove pieces before, could you do a video on what sets (if any others exist) have had you remove pieces from a build as part of the instructions?
[eyes bug out] That has to be the weirdest building step I've ever heard of.
5:01 sadly that's the old variant of the piece, the newer one from the last few decades has a larger middle so it does not actually work
Yep, this only works with the old (and fragile) a Version or the early 1980s.
@chopper same tho I don't know it's the older variant of the piece......checkout ''thedarthdesigner'' striker...... i'm trying to build the crows or common remotley operated weapon station it uses the old variant of the piece to connect it to the 1x3 tile so tnx for telling ur opinion:)))
that ball of flowers and boat studs is just delightful. Doesn't work if everything's in line properly but with some tilt the studs inside all mesh nicely. Doesn't quite form a rollable ball but would be great for the head of a pillar/bollard or a puffball or part of a creature
1:20 is so big brain, I would never thought of building that way ever in my lego building career
I've tried the second building technique
Collapsed my whole moc😔
I've tried snot with 1*1 technic brick and two 4070a and a 1*1 plate - and found it can be replaced with 2 modern 36841 Brackets and 3 plates as used above. It gives more versatile colors and part variations on the side opposite to technic brick.
Love your content
The chainsaw build would be great for interior / exterior or creating wall to make rooms out of a bit larger space
5:26 The Singapore Architecture set uses that technique, albeit with a different piece, to stabilize the center of the 3 Marina Bay Sands towers.
4:35 this one is just straight-up used multiple times in the Seinfeld Apartment Set set. Wouldn't be surprised if it saw use in lots of other sets.
What I want to know about the chainsaw is whether you can place it such that multiple chainsaws act as gears against each other.
1:17 ok but the green parts aren't fixed.. btw the top build, how does the green parts not fall.. ?
These pieces doesnt hace studs under, their have the negative to put pieces with studs..
I don't understand how can this holds..
Oh.. f... ok.. still continue writing for others who would understand: the green parts on top aren't attach but their will hold just the down part and cannot get out because of the others.
The bottom one holds the top which blocks the top one.. that holds the bottom, both holds opposite by exterior so are fixed together, ok.. why not, but seems a bit fragile, a bit weak holding, but original !
1:18 green pieces are not actually connected to grey ones, so it's impossible
The dark side of the force is a path to many abilities, some may consider to be unnatural
6:43 those rounded tiles are called "Boat Studs"
2:10 thats a solid connection, or is it...🤔
I remember building an unofficial LEGO set based off of Among Us. It used one of these “build on both sides” techniques in some of the task stations.
That was a genius idea for your sponsored segment! Nice job!
A lego TH-camr with a sponsor.....now that's badass.
This was the best ad for Keeps I've seen on youtube! I'll def recommend it to some minifigs I know that have lost their hair!
6:22 is also possible with the red pins (BL-No. 313) from the very old hinge plate pieces! It's a great building technique to get reverse-studs in a small build
0:47 i think it can be used at mini halftracks
2:15 ITS THE COLLUSEUM
More of these kinds of vid plz 🙏
I use the circular stud with pin and hollow stud as an exhaust on a couple of my Lego cars
4:00 is just straight up a swastika
I wouldn't recommend 4:10, because clips tend to break easily here. I tried it and now I have ptsd from ever using clips the other way they were intended for said build even tho it wasn't sometimes illegal
4:41 I made a Lago mini gun design using this
Great, thanks
First! Great vid, as always!:)
Np
*golf clap* Wonderful creations, it just continues amazing me how many wonderful ways people use Lego pieces to create things like this.
In the old days the Lego company's marketing slogan was "The only limit is your imagination".
I took several screenshots of this one 😊
Fascinating... some clever connections there.
The idea of building techniques being illegal randomly because Lego doesnt like them is just flat out incorrect. If a building technique is illegal, it means it damages the pieces, its that simple.
I love ur vids pls upload more often the vids are great
The thing I can’t understand is why some techniques are said by LEGO to be illegal. I can understand some independent competition build scenario banning some techniques, but lego is about designing, building, and problem solving. Their original idea was to encourage new ways of doing things. If it works, it’s good. I can understand in a competition scenario, a technique that puts too much strain on a piece is not permitted, but your own blocks at home, do what you want. Damn, in the 80’s, I needed a specific shaped brick (One that would never be made due to the once in a lifetime unique need.) to fit a space and join two other oddly positioned pieces, so I literally took a craft knife to one piece to make it fit. My block, worked for me.
Its because they destroy the bricks
@@gold571 And the ones that don't? What about the ones that fit just fine, don't strain the bricks in any way, but are just not "normal" We didn't become an alpha species because we were narrow minded, Dark Ages excepted, so non damaging techniques should be allowed. At home, with your own blocks you have paid for, do whatever you want. It's your money.
@@gaijininja those arent illegal, but its best to research
1:57 few?
I'm going to the lego store rn...
If I have an illegal building technique not shown in the video (or anywhere else as far as I've checked), how do I get to star in a future video (as in how should I send it to you, via email or social, even though I know it's not gauranteed to star in a video)?
lego really hire quantum designers, ALL the pieces fit perfectly even if it doesn't seem like it
Can you show us something else than double sided bricks though?
4:11 I actually tried that exact same technique last night, but using the newer version of those clips. Is that legal???
Interesting! I think it's legal.
It is not, as those are plate sized and not tile sized. While they are more versatile, that is not one of their uses
@@gold571 Okk... thanks man! I was going to use that technique in a build but you saved me!
@@EMDWDG4 no prob
@@gold571 👍
I wonder how many of these are "Illegal" not as in they look like they shouldn't be allowed, but as in they put stress on the pieces and stuff.
the answer is at least half (I refuse to count)
im sure somewhere in the the church of the lego they're witch-hunting for guys like you. These techniques are so much big brain that it's like lego witchcraft
At 2:07 my xbox locked up so hard that it shutdown completely. I have to say that is the best time event ever
I'd like these videos more if instead of renders, you got your bricks and made whichever ones you had parts for.
Might try some of them for fun since I am sorting all my LEGOs per set.
Missing 8 Minifigures. Yey me.
I use at least some? Let’s see
Sponsor is hair-loss - we are mostly kids
💪😁🔥🔥🔥 Cool video! P.S. I've entered here as... yt is recommending my videos as proposed for this film viewers and I was curious why...
Can you make mor Lego Star Wars videos please 🥺
Where do you get your Lego Ninjago old mini figures
I like how in the sponsor he spelled keeps but not spitbrix
All this work to reverse brick polarity. Lego should just make a piece in calling "the button", it's just a stud that's twice as tall as a normal stud, allowing you to connect two plates back to back, that way they don't have to make a bunch of different sized two sides plates
4:42 check out white house set, it is there.
Lego Minecraft Potions use that too.
Very interesting! Could you tell me the number of the LEGO model that appears at minute 7 and 38 seconds? I like 🙂
Im already receding at 16!
I always thought that your name was spitbrix
4:28: me: wow my brother: ABOMINATIONABOMINATIONABOMINATIONABOMINATIONABOMINATIONABOMINATIONABOMINATIONABOMINATIONABOMINATIONABOMINATION ABOMINATION
Just lock your Windows and doors, so the fbi wont catch you 😂
3:59 find the hidden swastika
You telling me I don’t have the IQ to do this
Hello! I just noticed this video was only released 36 mins ago
"1x1 modified brick" bro thats a headlight brick
Cutting neumatic tubing is legal
I did a tan ball
I love it
0:54 how ? Is there a 1x1 double sided piece ?
I think the white pieces connect to one side, and then the others are pressed against the inside walls of the full “hack” which keeps them in place
I’m not the only one who saw it right? 4:00
3:59 it reminds me somethign that was in 1940 german symbol
spitbrixs how do i show my idea?
where do you get your music from?
I am a big fan
I thought it was spiritbrix not spitbrix
I'm a huge Lego fan #lego
Me realizing you can re attach hair and un attach it so legos prob have wigs: you sure about that? 🤨
Friendly reminder that a build is illegal if the pieces get damaged over time
This should be illigal
What 10 LEGO sets do you hate the most

How are you dude
Infinite iq
Big brain time
ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL
don't come crying after illegal type building bricks crack after some time because of the constant pressure.
Basically.
5:29 stop go get some help
Epic
I have the most thing that no one know!!!!
