3:33 considering Tiago Catarino's explanation of why some technics are illegal, I actually doubt this is considered illegal, because it isn't really stressing the pieces
very early versions of that "boat stud" had in fact slightly smaller holes, but still big enough for a pole. This is different from for example very early inverted slopes, where the holes where in fact way to small.
just cause its not an "official" technique that lego hasnt used doesnt mean its illegal as long as the pieces arent stressed or put through more pressure than usual
I sometimes wonder if LEGO piece designers thought of some of the techniques, like the one with 2x2 circle on rails? It feels too perfect to be a coincidence
@@krzysiekchinbeard4442 There are certain techniques which don't apply stress to parts, but still wouldn't be allowed in an official set due to either being too loose or just not being a very good connection. There's also the various techniques using minifigure arm, leg, and hand pieces which have been separated from their original parts. Those don't apply stress in and of themselves, but removing them requires a bit more force than is normally acceptable.
I think the keyword here is almost, everything Lego is designed to be a shelf piece and not actually used even the ones that come with motors because the parts fall apart too easily, so if you’re looking for a remote control car do not buy Lego if you’re looking for a cool building experience and a nice shelf queen item, buy Lego
The plate in the 4:30 wheel was the first wedge by Lego with stud notches back in 1987 and thus is the only still unchanged design - so it's not THAT crazy to have a lot of them.
the one you say is illegal at 3:30 is surely not illegal; open studs are designed to hold bars, and no pieces are being stressed. What am I missing here?
I don't know this for a fact, just something I've noticed but older versions of this piece have thicker plastic around the open studs and it takes quite a bit more force to fit a bar in them so it might have been illegal at one point.
Brick Bending channel does a lot of geometrical designs like the giant wheel at 4:30. They are illegal builds, but they are also works of art and mesmerizing.
@3:51 - 4:15 - Lay that lot out horizontally on the ground or on top of a wall, and you’ve got yourself a length of barbed wire…plus it would be flexible enough to curve around corners…
@@ioisdead7936 my lego splinter (ninja turtles) broke his arm when I tried to take it off, now I avoid doing it and when I do, I try to be as careful as possible
You could make a "100 IQ building techniques" video which just shows the most basic of building techniques, like putting bricks... Onto other bricks. Or putting bars... Into clips. Perhaps even putting Technic pins into Technic pinholes if you're feeling daring
3:50 I’ve made one myself but this requires a lot of those pieces. This build is for more for decoration because they are loose and break apart easily. I have some ideas for them: - Hair dreadlock/braids - Robotic muscle fibers This build would make any build a more ‘organic’ appearance.
0:26 unable to assembly - studs interfere 6:10 unable to assembly (rectangular triangle with 4,5 studs side do not have 6 studs long side , it has 6,3)
The bar clip chain, i thought it was little hands all interlocking and it made me think of SpongeBob when he keeps grabbing his arms and pulling them off and regrowing them 🤣
The very first one for sure is illegal - in fact in doesn't even really work, as the studs are blocking each other. Also I think it's illegal to put studs only half way in, as it's used for all those wheel designs, but I can't find that in the guideline at the moment.

He works hard, don’t ask him.
Remember: a lego technique is only illegal if it’s damaging the pieces
Once said from The amazing earth
Or hurts people physically!
@@InactiveAcoountSpeltright just, just, just shush
I don’t know how to do it but I don’t think that’s what I mean it is just like that the whole thing is like a joke lol that’s what I mean
it’s also illegal if you put pressure on them
3:33 considering Tiago Catarino's explanation of why some technics are illegal, I actually doubt this is considered illegal, because it isn't really stressing the pieces
Those pieces were not made for a pole connection. They stress them.
@@Nio744 if I'm not mistaken, in the past they weren't, but now they have those holes intended to make in fact a pole connection
very early versions of that "boat stud" had in fact slightly smaller holes, but still big enough for a pole. This is different from for example very early inverted slopes, where the holes where in fact way to small.
Even if the hole isn't the right size, you could put four 1x1 circle plates with holes on each to get something similar
just cause its not an "official" technique that lego hasnt used doesnt mean its illegal as long as the pieces arent stressed or put through more pressure than usual
I didn't know most of these were possible! Cool vid!
Thanks dude 🙂
@@SpitBrix and @TD BRICKS hi big fan
3rd HI TY AND SPITBRIX
Hi
I sometimes wonder if LEGO piece designers thought of some of the techniques, like the one with 2x2 circle on rails? It feels too perfect to be a coincidence
Not so much a coincidence but more a great example if their strict engineering
What I constitute as illegal is how much stress is being put on the peices and how likely will something break
This is also how Lego defines what is and isn't legal

2:41 Thanks. I wanted to make a pentagon in lego without hinge plates/bricks and now I know it's possible.
5:53 this technique is also being used in the Coloseum set
fun fact the Lego technique at 3:30 is possible to be made in Lego digital designer
a software made by lego
thus this technique is legal
Soo you see Lego can do almost every thing
You say it like dhar mann's actors

Can it cook
With enough lego you can conquer the world
4:13 That's no brick, that's a monster
6:08 and that’s how you put stress on a Lego brick
Came here to say that. I think some older sets used angles that Pythagoras did not approve.
The plate in the 4:30 wheel was the first wedge by Lego with stud notches back in 1987 and thus is the only still unchanged design - so it's not THAT crazy to have a lot of them.
I actually visited Legoland earlier today. Now i want to go back, and see if i can find any “illegal” building techniques there.

2:46 would be perfect if they made a starcourt mall set from Stranger Things tbh
As a kid I did a few of these just messing around with my legos. I wonder if I'll go back to that soon.
Brick Bending channel does a lot of geometrical designs like the giant wheel at 4:30. They are illegal builds, but they are also works of art and mesmerizing.
5:50 that one is used in the snokes star destroyer set
5:37 lego malibu mansion for Iron man actually used something like this
6:08 is a very illegal connection. The space between the jumper studs looks like 6 studs in length but it's actually 5.95 studs long.
@3:51 - 4:15 - Lay that lot out horizontally on the ground or on top of a wall, and you’ve got yourself a length of barbed wire…plus it would be flexible enough to curve around corners…
0:00 - 8:46 best part of the video
Yeah best part of the entire video
I'd be interested to see someone take these and show them in some kind of build to see how it can be used and what it'd look like in a build
Man I would do the meditation stance with the minifigures, but I'm afraid i may break the thing to connect the legs back on
don't be, just be merciless with them they are tough as hell fr
@@ioisdead7936 my lego splinter (ninja turtles) broke his arm when I tried to take it off, now I avoid doing it and when I do, I try to be as careful as possible
It’s really easy to do without breaking the underwear part of Lego minifigures. Just pull to the side of it and wiggle them to get them out easily.
5:58 I recently assembled millennium falcon and similar technique is used on the roof of the set to connect 2-4 triangle pieces in a circular shape.
You could make a "100 IQ building techniques" video which just shows the most basic of building techniques, like putting bricks... Onto other bricks. Or putting bars... Into clips. Perhaps even putting Technic pins into Technic pinholes if you're feeling daring
YES! LEGO should be more versatile. LEGO should provoke ideas than just "museum" builds.
When he says hey guys welcome back to a Lego video is so iconic to me
#4:01 you could use it as barbed wire on the top of a fence

That minifigure ray gun would look great for a toy store MOC.

Wow its seams perfect
Oddly sespific but ok
I feel like the chain could be used in like a nordic setting as a river chain blockade
Noice, love ur channel!
The math behind legos geometry is amazing. The fact that there is "Illegal" building techniques is a testament to how well it is designed.
You are the best TH-camr about Lego
4:00
I could see someone using these, provided they come in green, for climbing vines for a Lego Mario stage
Try doing top 10 used lego blocks
4:08 this could be a spike strip
Can you do a video on mould King eclipse class imperial star destroyer, I want to know if it is made of actual legos or not
It may not be Flawless but it doesn't actually damage the pieces so it's not illegal
Childhood channel
Correct ✅
I wish it wasn't just rendered pictures but you actually building the simple builds.
0:53 I used that method to make a DIY train.
4:06 You should ask BrickBending
Tired of hearing illegal building technique applied to any creative way of building with Lego
It is for techniques that damage bricks
The hinge plates are clever af. They’re used frequently in the titanic
It would be cool to see if the big 3x6 edge piece disk to be used in as the helicarrier rotaries in a moc
Lovely video
2:47 the pentagun
4:10 this can be used to make chinese fireworks (鞭炮) in a CNY set
Any fallout fans? If you take a silver ray gun and add a transparent neon green stud it looks almost exactly like a plasma pistol.
wow, like some of them. try taking 4 clips and make that cool sqare.
0:26 unable to assembly - studs interfere
6:10 unable to assembly (rectangular triangle with 4,5 studs side do not have 6 studs long side , it has 6,3)
Me: How many are illegal
This video: yes
Try a hexagon tower with three, 2x4 bricks on each layer, connected on the corners.
You used to be so young, now you've grown so much 😄
1:10: Trains, anyone?
The bar clip chain, i thought it was little hands all interlocking and it made me think of SpongeBob when he keeps grabbing his arms and pulling them off and regrowing them 🤣
This isnt related to the video but on one of my sets i didnt get an instructions manual
Groovy tips.
"Rural Look"... It is called Thatch Roofing, and in the past it was poor man's roofing, which was usually rural but not exclusively
2:54 I got it lol If you can get some sorta long pole piece to go into the blasters you can design a harvester c:
A Wonderful video!
Spitbrix I found a printing mistake on lego city set 60313 on step 6 of the truck
[me at the Lego store]
‘Yeah, I need 144 wedge plates’
can you pls make more Lego mixels videos pls and make mixes mega max a and custom maxs
Why is the green piece at 6:10 wet???
Curious on how many of these, if any, are illegal?
The very first one for sure is illegal - in fact in doesn't even really work, as the studs are blocking each other. Also I think it's illegal to put studs only half way in, as it's used for all those wheel designs, but I can't find that in the guideline at the moment.
3:40 how is this illegal? Empty studs are meant to hold bars, right?
Wanna see them used more, like with other pieces in a makeshift set
Someone show this video to Brick Bending
I want to see a video with lego Ninjago crystalized sets
1:13 that chould be useful in a lego mario set
What you can do by attaching 5 ray-guns together? Oh I can think of one *thinking of the pentagram*
Did you know LEGO is the largest manufacturer of wheels in the world.
Make a Lego asmr, I’m first
Edit: the hinge plate can be used for railway tracks to change track
3:40 Why should I care what technics Lego uses or not? I can do what i want with my bricks :D
Please provide minifig for scale
I feel like alot of them are illegal in the sense that a lot of them can make unstable builds that crumble easily
Do a ninjago crystalized set review video
I can't get over those "half bridge pieces" 😂😂
they're just called "arches"
the bar clip can be a jail bar or barbed fence
I built the bar clip chain one I while ago and have it laying around not knowing what to do with it yet😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Nice
2:16
i did it befor i saw this so me = 500IQ lego building xd
*spits irl* bricks *spits twice* bricks SpitBrix!!
I used alien blaster brick to reverse studs
I wish LEGO was more focused on technique style than pushing culture sets. Show kids & adults how to build cool useful stuff, & more alternate builds.
This is not illegal it's creative
Can’t wait for 600 iq
5:36 i love squares
every youtuber should have these ''adds'' on the end of the video like how you did
Hello spitbrix!.I love ur videos,but could u make a video in which u open some minifigures. Anyways,keep up the good work!
big brain
