So sorry this happened to you! 😢 Can't wait to see the city updates!
nobody escape LAN rules :p Oh wait it depends in facts :p
@@Brickmitriplease elaborate
certains RLFM or Ambassadors on The LAN where cautch leaking by mystakes (or not?) and it seems they were not warned or whatever. What i saw on the LAN is that the notion of fairness is relative :-) @@BobaGotFett
1:48 very fortunate experience….
How stupid is it that they would put something on the same table like that though, when it leaked I couldn’t believe how dumb it was to place something side-by-side like that. Also funny I never got probation, neither did someone else I know… And people wonder why I have such a strong dislike of the company. You’ll be fine though, LAN only makes people’s channels when they have nothing else to offer, a category you don’t fall under.
Totaly
Merry Christmas man and I’m so sorry this happened! I did the same exact thing with Braille Bricks earlier this year so I totally get how mistakes like this happen - keep working through it and this is only a momentary setback!
did u get a warning for it also?
@@BrickmitriIf I remember correctly he got the same sanction
@@florian6259 keeping in check its Own ambassadors
Chatting none sense, you forget we know the truth. YOUR VIDEO showed and shows the removed embargo label…
Secondly by that point you had and were already filming, filmed by then AND that makes you a lego professional knocked out of the lan
The fact you keep this nonsense up is loosing you respect in the community
You were fantastic on legomasters, you made the season
It’s crazy how multiple Lego Ambassadors on TH-cam have made similar leaks within the last year. Seems like Lego is setting them up to make these mistakes. Maybe Lego needs to change something.
Yeah, I don't think having multiple sets in the same room is really helpful when it comes to content creation. At the very least they could set up some room dividers to keep the different projects completely seperated.
I totally agree…just wrote that before I read your comments. The fault lies with LEGO and not the content creators…
Well duck bricks won lego masters 😂
They left it in the room. It is at least a 50/50 mistake.
Honestly in my opinion it is a 100% a Lego mistake. They simply should not have let it in the room.
I agree. The LAN is setting up thier creators to make these mistakes.
That sucks what Lego did and I do blame them. They invited you to Denmark, were fine with you filming, so then why was the Rocket set on the table? It's their product, they need to be more careful and not blame their supporters and merchants for mistakes like this that were bound to happen.
I believe you, and also they blamed him for one zoom out sequence. When they say their motto is “Only the Best is Good Enough” yet this is an example that their LAN program is only one part that is flawed. And he is a parent, there are other priorities and kids around. This happened to Duck Bricks cause of those blind bricks (don’t know what their called) but that was partially justified, but it was a mistake, that happens. They should have a two strike system, not one straight up. And for the first strike, they only partially get the new wave, cause it provides money and a way for content for people. But it sucks and I get their running a multi million or billion dollar business and they can’t afford for this to happen. It doesn’t mean that they can’t have perspective from all angles from their point of view to his
Shouldn’t be allowed to film over there or at least in those areas
@@notclever Exactly. Lego is the one who sets the embargo dates. Allowing the set to be out in the open makes them partially, if not totally to blame.
You blame Lego for his mistake? That is so pathetic. They allowed them to film for their own channels when they're allow to show them. They sign and agree to all of Lego's terms and conditions when going and signing up for their program. It's the creator's duty to protect Lego's properties when Lego ask.
The whole system is ugly. You have TH-camrs racking up views and therefore earning dollars by showing off free sets Lego sends them, putting the TH-camrs in the position of shilling for Lego. And that in turns undermines any pretence of objectivity or independence, making it hard to believe whatever the TH-camrs are pitching. (And it's worth noting we don't see the contracts and NDA's that are being signed behind the scenes.) I have a lot more respect for independent channels.
I watch all your videos, I don't comment often but the level of ownership you took in a mistake that wasn't entirely your fault is so respectable and I look forward to seeing your new project unfold. (I don't think buildable figure should have been that close to avengers tower if it has different embargo date)
Bricksie has too much dignity and transparency for me to expect anything less. Owning your mistakes is a big part of what decides a persons character and this shows that. I agree it's ridiculous that they would put 2 sets so close together with different reveal dates 🙄 plus that racoon set is so cursed anyway
I agree with you 100%
"mistake that wasn't entirely your fault"....it was entirely his fault bro!
10000000%
Literally, the first rule of having content creators film an office/space is to make sure they know what they can and can not show, and any leaks caused by this are definitely the fault of the company. Lego is an almost 12 billion dollar company that absolutely knew better and is significantly more at fault. This leak is the result of multiple people at Lego failing to do their jobs, not a small creator. Shame on them for emailing you like that! They should take accountability. Reminds me of a lot of why former employees at Lego are quitting. These mega-corporations take no accountability.
I think this is too harsh on Lego. It appeared one of the perks of flying people in and putting them in hotels is to show them things that are yet to be released.
Why would they bring people in to see what is already on store shelves? Additionally this is a big deal for Lego because they likely have a contract with Marvel on when sets can be released and leaks can jeopardize that relationship.
@@phxees I do not disagree. However, I think you are misreading my comment. In the first sentence, I outline how it is their job to make very clear to the creators what they can and cannot show. Also, as I stated, multiple people failed to do their jobs, i.c. not supervising or allowing creators to film in spaces with unreleased sets, or they could even have required creators to submit videos filmed in their offices for approval before posting. I actually have experience in the content-creating industry. Only have about 2 years of experience but I know how these contracts typically work, and how much money and jobs brand trips represent. You have every right to think I am being too harsh on Lego but know I had better experiences working for places like Sonic (the drive-in, not the hedgehog lol) and Colourpop in terms of confidential information, much smaller brands/ PR teams comparatively. Heck, even Forever21 was VERY detailed about when and where (in public or not) you could shoot content for unreleased clothing and required approval for certain content like youtube videos or tiktoks. It's really baffling to me that they would not have clearer instructions and supervision for creators. I am ranting at this point but Poshmark didn't even let me be unsupervised in their office and I was not even filming content! Il Makiage (the nicest brand people ever tbh) just asked for no screens to be shown/blurred for Vlog content if filmed in their office. This communication with creators is just the standard.
@@SuperPrt123 I don’t believe you are understanding what creators are there for. Lego fly them in to see unreleased sets. Lego gives them printed or digital sheets of embargo dates. It likely says the name of the set and the date it can be shown to the public.
At that point Lego did their job.
It’s like me telling you two secrets on the condition that you won’t tell anyone for 30 days for one and 60 days for the other. I put the days on writing and give you my email address to ask me any questions. Then in 30 days you accidentally tell both secrets. How would that be my fault?
@@phxees When embargo dates and NDAs are that important you don't stop at a printed sheet/NDA detailing dates per set - you also make sure that they are reasonably separated when interviews and presentations are filmed to avoid precisely this situation.
So yes, technically the responsibility rests on the LAN members, but I'd argue that it would also be reasonable to expect LEGO to make sure everyone involved are aware *and* not placing models with different embargo dates next to each other when filming starts (which I expect can be fairly chaotic and busy, with lots of room for making mistakes).
Bricksie knew what he was and wasn't allowed to show. Which is why he tried to edit out the Rocket set.
Shoot that's tough. I would argue their PR people need to take some accountability and lessons learned from this as well. They should minimize the risk of having sets with different release dates in same area. Chin up, we're all still here to continue watching your videos :)
Exactly this, remove that stuff before letting people do their recordings/interviews. Closes the whole risk of accidental leaks down.
I agree that if a video is being shot on Lego premises then Lego employees must take all reasonable steps to avoid footage being taken that could be problematic. This is quite different from the situation where a LAN member has received a set from Lego and not correctly observed an embargo date. For me the punishment here is inappropriate to the situation.
I think this is legos mistakes not bricksies as why would they have that in a room with a TH-cam is interviewing people when they know that the set isn’t to be showed. I think they are setting people up and I think this is legos stupid mistake as it isn’t Jordan’s although it’s in his vid after all they had it in the room.
Agree, accountability goes both ways. BUT, taking complete ownership is the way to go because the alternative does nothing for you. Jocko would be proud!
That would require lego to admit that they did something wrong, and that is something they don't do
Just remember that there was a time you made videos without being a lego ambassador longer than those 6 months. But the punishment is way to hard for this case.
Also - I would not completely change your review style, you can have a review even if it's not early. You did that with the A Frame Cabin (which you didn't get early) and it got 59K views. Does not have to be early to have people watch it! I, for one, will watch whatever content you produce.
@@joeyost1603 I think not only he will not receive the set earlier (who give an edge already) but can't even do any review during his probation
@dolwolfianphotography
Can they realistically do that? If he uses his own money to buy sets and does a review they can't exactly stop him yknow
@@wadengg I'm not 100 % if it's the case but I'm sure they can do whatsoever if you;re one of their ambassador
To Lego: forgive this man!
Hey man. That’s tuff for sure. Too bad they never had all the sets set up at LAN better, it would have made the filming so much easier for all you guys. Based on all the issues some other members had with LAN this year, I hope they set things up better for you all next time. Heck, they could even have placards with the dates next to each set and clearly have them in different rooms or locations in the same room.
You’re still the best man. Don’t be too hard on yourself and we all know the content will still be great for the next stretch! To be honest, I love the non-review content more than the reviews; but I get that they generate a good amount of revenue for the channel.
Can’t wait to see even the slightest glimpse of the possible new spot! 🔥🤞
LEGO : *puts a set that is not to be revealed in the room during a video interview about another set*
TH-camr : *shows it by mistake for 0.3sec*
LEGO : *We re banning you for 6 months.*
That s literraly their mistake, if you dont want leaks of a product dont put it during a freaking youtube interview
And SO close to the other product that the video is about...
Definitely Lego's mistake for not properly separating sets with different release dates.
If indeed it was not made clear to the visitors that the dates were different beforehand this would make mistake 2.
LAN member takes a lot of effort afterwards to hide the set.
Lego should take responsibility for their own mistakes and keep it with a strong warning for this case.
@@vortexico4788 Why is it BigL's mistake? If the embargo was known to the content creator then either they have to check the videos properly, or if they can't do that then just not film those sets. I'd also bet a ton of money that BigL had them sign something to the tune of "we will not reveal anything that is ATM embargoed".
@@tetsi0815 It is not up to the content creator to police the background of the office in which they're invited to film. If the guy being interviewed says "come in here, we can film this here" and then there's stuff in the background that is not supposed to be shown, *that's on the guy doing the inviting*. Not on the guy filming.
@@Winchester1979 Have you actually watched this video???? From what I can see, the set in question was not somewhere half way hidden in some shelf in the background, but in the middle of the friggin' table! At 3:44 you can see the golden thingy next to the black box and at 4:08 you can see the set in question and the golden thingy still next to it. Again... on the friggin table they're all apparently sitting around!!! So this one seems pretty clearly a careless mistake of the creator and he got punished for it. BigL did not secretly hide some embargoed set somewhere in the room. Also, the creators very likely SIGNED something like an NDA before and where likely clearly told what's embargoed. So everybody was aware of what's going on - or at least should have, if they actually read what they signed or listened.
Don't beat yourself up. Everyone makes mistakes. It seems like such a harsh penalty for .3 seconds of missed footage.
Your right
Unfortunately, the problem is just the image was talked about widely; it doesn't matter how long it was on the screen. In the future it would probably be better to just snap a few high-quality photos of each set and only add those photos to videos when it is safe to do so. Government agencies fail at using black boxes, it isn't surprising that Jordan missed something in the edit.
Even if it was just visible for a single frame, the set was leaked because of him.
Agreed
Lego should fix this, there is a difference between a obvious honest mistake and someone leaking something on purpose
Part of me is actually happy to get a break from the set "reviews" on your channel Jordan. Honestly I first sub'd because of the Lego city and found the spoon fed reveals and reviews were hit or miss. I know i'm in the minority, but I feel like your channel IS the city and MOCs. Many times we think things are set backs but in reality are setups for future growth. Excited to see the growth and move Jordan, best of luck to your and your beautiful family Bricksie!
You’re not alone, I agree completely. I want to see peoples own fun and creativity, I don’t need advertisements for overpriced products, that creators aren’t getting paid to make. Literally the reviews and reveals are absolutely nothing but a long commercial and if lego wants that kind of promotion, they could treat their advertisers better, and perhaps actually pay them for their work.
@MariW736 well, they are getting free sets they could eventually sell and make a profit that way I suppose? 🤷🏻♂️
@@Manaz101 all the more reason I think it diminishes the channels credibility. There’s no way I’m going to believe somebody actually loves every single thing that a company puts out, when they are distraught about not getting free things if they piss that company off.
We all appreciate the content and honesty! It’s great that you get sets and information from LAN but that isn’t why most of us watch. Keep up the content but also make sure you spend time with your family! Best of luck in 2024!
That’s such a harsh penalty for a genuine mistake, and not a deliberate ploy to leak images. As many of the comments have said, the LEGO group need to take accountability for their part in this. You support LEGO by actually buying so much product and you’re a genuine fan. You’re a great person mate, with great content, too. Looking forward to your next big LEGO adventure!!
Don’t despair! You made an honest mistake and you were open and honest about it. That takes real character and only increases my family’s admiration of Bricksie!❤
Don't beat yourself up about this. You made a truly concerted effort to hide the other set, and honestly, shame on LEGO for having the 2 sets out at the same time. They shouldn't have put you in that position in the first place! Your actions are always positive, straightforward and full of integrity. I watch your content daily for the excitement you bring to us about your love for LEGO, your beautiful family and your amazing city layout. I enjoy the reviews and value your opinions on them, but they are not the main reason most of us tune in every day. Chi up and keep up the great work!
Jordan, as always you are a breath of fresh air! You are a great husband, dad, friend, person first! LEGO LAN is a distant 5 or 6 down the line of what’s important. Making mistakes and owning them makes you better and before you know it those LAN boxes will be headed your way again. The new space will be a great addition and keep you VERY BUSY until your suspension is over! Be safe and well!
Hi Jordan. That is unbelievably harsh of LEGO. They are more than a little culpable. The incident clearly upset you but your error was an honest one so don't beat yourself up. I have no doubt you will continue to enjoy the support of all of your subscribers. Best wishes to you and the family for 2024.
Don't beat yourself up bricksie. I'll stand by you as I have for years now and congratulations on the news and hope inspections go well.
When one door closes, another one opens! This may help to reduce some of the pressure on your shoulders as you no longer have to worry about opening the wrong box on camera, or filming a particular video for a particular date.
The Mega Blocks door!
Sorry this happened! But as a parent, it is so easy to miss things like that. Don't beat yourself up, you have way more important things to worry about than leaking a Lego product that Lego shouldn't have had out for all to see anyway while you were filming. That at least, is on them.
Also, I watch your channel for the awesome city and diorama work anyway, so here's to the next 6 months!
As an ex LAN member and Ambassador i've also been through probation.
Severals things to say :
- You explaining that your channel is almost in chamble cause of this, and provide you a huge blow on reviews mean that your are LAN dependant. The LAN wont run forever, and if you are ban also like me, would it mean the end of your channel? As an advise, you should not rely on the LAN.
- LEGO doesnt care about its own ambassadors. Ok, you are over friendly with TLG here despite the warning. Meaning you want to keep obviously your share of reviews offers. But wait, remember that the LAN doesnt care about you. A warning for 0.3 sec? 6 months of probation without review offers? This is just a lack of respect. Especially when everybody knows that certains LAN members are Leaking and sometimes even posting "oups i failed" on the LAN without any consequences. LAN is not fair.
It really saddened me to see huge channel like you being so LAN dependant, giving rights to LEGO to do whatever they want knowing that contents creators would anyway bow they re head to keep free products. I'm sure your work deserve better than this.
Regards,
Dimitri
Same as duckbricks. I hate LAN and how they threat ppl. Leave lan, you dont need it.
I believe they messed up here, they left the set in the camera shot, if they wanted no leaks, then they should have removed it and not blamed you for it.
However sad it is, I am excited for your move to the new warehouse!! it sounds so dope man!
Totally agree with you. Pathetic response from Lego.
So, they invited you out knowing you're going to make videos, wouldn't they be somewhat responsible for not really being like 'hey when you film in here make sure this isn't in the video"? maybe I'm wrong.
Exactly what I thought. They should cover the other sets while talking about their current presentation. Help the Ambassadors out a little! Jeez.
@@GemTodd Precisely 🤙🏼
Yes they should, but Lego notoriously doesn’t care / puts all responsibility on everyone else, the person who does whatever on their own or the “LAN” members. Being a LAN is over rated and they don’t do nearly enough for the influencers etc in it that make them so much money they wouldn’t without their involvement. He may feel they treat him well, but they need to do more especially to inform these guys of what they don’t want shown in videos rather than tell them after & punish them hard. Especially for moments like this where no one has any clue they need to remove any footage etc of it.
@@957kakashi Yeah absolutely nailed it.
Beat me to it.
But yes exactly!
Hello, i can't believe Lego have done that . They should have moved it out of the way if they didn't want it on camera. I've only just started watching your videos this year and I watch them because of how great your city is. It's awesome and I've actually built my own Christmas scene this year after watching you with your winter village, so thank you for inspiring me. As you have already mentioned you will probably have more time now for your new project. Which im sure like everyone else we're all looking forward to it. Keep doing what you love. It's Awesome x
I entirely respect the way you have dealt with this very unfortunate situation. Keep doing what you do best, inspiring others to be creative!
You’re the only content creator for @Lego that I follow. Much love to you bro! I hope it gets over quick. Love your MOC’s. We will still be here.
Sometimes corporations, (even those that you wouldn’t expect to),respond to things they were equally responsible for causing, in a way that is not reasonable. They are directly responsible for keeping sets that are not supposed to be seen hidden, not you! It doesn’t make sense that they would have multiple sets with different dates in a room together when they know people are filming. Honestly it’s primarily their fault seeing that they can easily see what happened, and you quickly corrected the issue as soon as you found it. They are only hurting themselves unfortunately by limiting a channel like yours from getting the new sets early. You do a great job on every video! And yours such a hard worker on this channel! We all appreciate you 😊! Hopefully maybe they can see they need to change the way they manage the process.
Sorry for what happened. I think it is unnecessary for LEGO to do this as it was an honest mistake from you and it was not intended to be. But it is what it is. Keep going Jordan, you are amazing :-)
Really sorry this happened, but seems very harsh on you - they had the item visible during the interview… Hope you get LAN reinstated - you are definitely a strong asset for them. Love your content
I think LAN needs you more than you need LAN to be honest. Your content is excellent even without the early reviews.
We all make mistakes brother, I respect that you manned up. I think we are all here for more than just reveals so you don't have to worry.
Holy sh&%, mans finally getting the warehouse he´s been wanting for years...
I feel so sorry for you!! You tried so hard to blur it out, but sometimes just a small mistake can have such a huge effect. In my opinion a 6-month probation is a bit over the top (seeing as it was a honest mistake). LEGO and LAN's PR teams should make sure that should make sure everyone knows exactly what (and what not) they are allowed to show.
Its great to hear that your vison is coming to fruition for the 2200sq ft. warehouse. Its important to focus on the positives, and not the negatives.
Best of luck for 2024 for you and your family.
I’m so sorry that happened. I really respect how you took responsibility for what happened, but don’t be so hard on yourself either. You did all you could with what you knew at the time. It was an honest mistake and I hope you give yourself grace through this. I’ll continue to support this channel and root for you!
That is a rough penalty mate, sorry to hear. Well done for owning it. The May 2024 project sounds so good
ugh only left channel audio, that hurts
Making mistakes is how we grow and learn. Kudos to you for making a video and owning it. You and your wife have a great Lego channel here and it will continue to grow because you make great content.
My heart goes out to you, Jordan. While everyone makes mistakes, most of us are lucky to make mistakes in private. Your content and energy is so fantastic, and I know you'll pull through this with flying colors. Sending good vibes to you and your family for 2024 and beyond :)
Hey Bricksie! I'm sorry to hear that happened and its unfortuate but once you get off the probation I'm sure you'll follow those to a T. It's just a sad situation but I'm sure the content will be better in the long run. I'm very excited to hear that you are expanding and that is moving along. I think you will have so much opprtunity with additional space. Personally I would love to see you mock up a Lego Star Wars City with all of your Star Wars minfig scale sets (Like Tatooine or an Imperial Base :) ) But I'm sure whatever you choose it will look spectactular. Happy Holidays for you and your family!!
Completely ridiculous of Lego to do this. I’m so sorry, Bricksie. You deserve to be treated better.
He broke their terms and conditions and you blame Lego? How dumb can you be?
He spent millions of $’s on Lego n I honestly think Lego should have just given him a warning n not stopped sending him sets early to review , I see his sadness but again it was a honest mistake
@@sameerrajakumar They gave him a warning. They could also have kicked him off the program.
😂
Most security leaks are accidental - it stinks but you live and learn. As far as I can tell, LEGO is at least holding everyone accountable to the same standards, which I do appreciate. But I also agree with a lot of other commenters here that, if they are allowing recordings, LEGO should put more effort into not mixing sets with different release timings during presentations.
Jordan, the grandkids and I, watch your videos because we're lego fans and love how family friendly they are, we watched you before you became an ambassador and will continue to watch you! You're not the first person, that lego has done this to, brush it off, we're here for you and your amazing creations in the city!
i agree, don't beat yourself over this, your channel is nothing but professional and you have always played by the book... Lego will be the only ones who miss out over this, Lego should not have multiple new products on a table when showcasing... they should take some accountability too!
I will continue watching your channel, no matter what! I, like others. Enjoy your content from your warm greeting to your family life. Lego group take care of this man!
Its all good Jordan, the blame isn’t totally on you. We’re all here for the city builds anyways :D
Merry Christmas to you and the family
Hey man, anyone can make a mistake. All mistakes are opportunities to learn and you have articulated that in this video. I’m pumped for the new square footage 🤘🤘 you are one of Legos best Ambassadors no question. Excellent authentic video creators out there. I myself am responsible for likely thousands of ours of watching your content. I don’t comment often, but I watch. Thanks for being the family man that you are and for setting a great example for all the young eyeballs out here. There is more than just great Lego content on your channel. Proud you are a fellow Canadian as well. Merry Christmas to you, J and the rest of your family. 2024 is going to be awesome! 🇨🇦🎄🙌
I for one have ben with you since before LAN and enjoyed those videos more. You are the best Lego channel I have found. I love how you keep changing/growing the Lego City. Teaching us new ways to use our bricks. Love the family updates. I do miss seeing Josey, but totally understand she is needed elsewhere. 🙂 I'm glad you will be moving into a new place. Not sure how much more the downstairs could handle. I agree with the others, LAN knew who they invited and what their contents is and they should've been more careful. I'm glad you shared how you processed it all and explained that to us. You are a wonderful, positive and grateful person. We all need that in our lives! Keep on being YOU!!
Im sorry that this happened to you Jordan. I can’t believe someone would take the time to do that to you. Keep your head up. You will still be great like always and I will continue to watch and support you 100%.
Seems to be partly Lego fault as well. Why would you have unreleased sets displayed in same area you let everyone video interview employees. Seems careless on Lego.
Exactly.
I watch you for your great content not the “exclusives”. Best wishes on the future plans, how exciting!!
I’d just burn off LAN anyway dude and not worry. You can still do plenty with your city by yourself and make great content. When these LAN members get sets (early) for review, I never give them much credence anyway. I personally don’t think you can be impartial with the reviews. LAN members are just mostly positive as they’re worried about losing access and won’t say anything remotely critical of Lego. I can imagine you’re pissed about not getting free sets though. Understand that.
Lego boycott until Bricksie gets his LAN access back
Im so sorry to hear, mistakes happen, and all you can do is accept it and learn from them, putting in place the second eyes for the most important videos like you said.
Ill still be here, watching and supporting your video's, cant miss your city videos. Im also glad to hear that your expansion plans seem to be on track, might be the perfect time to organise and start setting up with the spare time.
3:39 so what your actually saying is that THEY messed up in two different ways 1 by not giving people proper information 2 by having secret info in a room that’s going to be used for filming, but it’s you that is getting punished.
I’m sorry but it’s people at Lego that should be taking heat and maybe even getting fired, if your weren’t told that stuff was to be kept hidden how could you know it was a secret.
Just a heads up, if you're wearing headphones with surround sound capabilities, it only plays through the left ear.
I think a lot of people are missing the whole point of this video. Jordan is taking full ownership of his mistake. He's not blaming Lego. He's accepting that he messed up and has to deal with the consequences.
This is a pretty standard process for violating an embargo or NDA. He's lucky its only a 6 month probation, because other companies have handed out lifetime bans for much less.
Good on you for taking ownership. It speaks volumes to your professionalism, and hopefully Lego realizes how beneficial your partnership with them has been up until this point.
Lego should also review their own rutine, not only your fault Bricksie. You are a good loyal Lego ambassador.
Just remember that we liked your content before you joined LAN! Early reviews are nice, but I personally like your city update and MOC content the best! Harsh punishment but only a temporary setback. We'll all still be here supporting the channel!
Bricksie my man... dont worry about it man, definitely wasn't your fault. Things happen and we have to move forward. I personally watch your channel for that amazing city so Im super excited for your new space. You'll have so much room for activities. LAN should retro you all the sets you dont get during this hiatus. Stay stong Bricksie. LAN or not, you still got my support 100%.
Yeah. If Lego had it there, knew filming would be done, but didn't provide embargo details... It's totally on them.
We love your channel. You have integrity and we appreciate you. Excited to see what the future holds for the Bricksie channel!
LEGO PR team definitely should have been more on point with that interview location and what’s on the table and checking your and other people’s shoots.
I would have thought they would even see your videos before upload too. Poor execution from LEGO here
There needs to be a difference between actual you tuber planned leaks vs accidental on LEGO premises in LEGO controlled settings
Leaks happen all the time on accident. Lego is really messing up doing this to someone that supports them and their products a lot don’t beat yourself up bricksie!!
I'm really sorry this happened to you. It's really unfortunate they had it in the room during an authorized interview. I never comment on your videos, but this breaks my heart for you, and your family. You do great work. You do great videos, and you set a positive tone for the entire Lego system. I support you. Full stop. You're one of the best ambassadors I have seen on TH-cam. Take care of you, and the family. Much love to you, your family, and the Bricksie Community. ♥️
So sorry for all the problems...knowing you, you'll give it a positive twist already..put your mind at this new project!! I wish you all the best of luck with that. At least you have time now to work at this! Much luck to you and your family!!🤟🍀 keep your positive vibe!!!👍👍👍
FYI the audio when listened to for this video on headphones is only coming through the left side. Thought maybe you had a setting off with the new cam and mic. Love the content. Excited for your announcement that wasn’t yet. Don’t worry about your probation from LAN. Has happened to others as well all though the others I know of were more blatantly revealing sets accidentally before embargo dates.
That sucks, but it's really cool that you were transparent about it! kudos to you. That being said, I think it's awful they put you on probation due to their failure to conceal the set knowing people were taking video. I'm also disappointed in them because if this was leaked everywhere due to your video, that means you get them a lot of views/press, they should appreciate that at just the cost of a lego set. Unfortunately I know from experience Lego is ridiculously tough on people (I once ordered the harry potter book/owl set, was charged, it was shipped) then the next time I went to place an order they claimed I never paid for it, I provided bank statements proving I paid for it and they somehow disagreed and now claim I owed them money. They certainly have issues with how they treat some of their customers (and LAN members).
Don't worry about it Jordan, every cloud has a silver lining and take this as an opportunity to really focus on the move and the new city. Keep your head up and the amazing content flowing as always ❤😄
How does a 0.3 second mistake justify a 6 month punishment?
lego should reconsider this.
LAN sounds like a terrible thing to be part of to be honest better off out of it
I’ll always be a daily viewer no matter what!
Super excited about the big moves happening! 👍
I imagine that’ll suck for you! But welcome back to being the average Joe when it comes to Lego TH-camrs. You worked hard to get the LAN privileges, but many still don’t get early reviews so welcome back to the club. Looking forward to see what you do next
I’m kind of all for this. Reviews will be unbiased like Jang’s videos since he doesn’t accept products from Lego. Honestly the best way to do it
Mate as you said - it one rule for all which is understandable and I personally think the way you are taking it, just continues to show how much of a stand up dude you are. Defensive people who try to shift or share blame always irk me.
We all make mistakes and we all have to cop it on the chin and take the repercussions. But 6 months will fly by and we will all continue to watch you and enjoy your content and support you all the way through.
Besides I enjoy watching your trips to the store !!! Your content is awesome - and woohoo for the warehouse if that is what you mean :)
Edit: Now watch all the people try and blame Lego.
Seems like a very harsh punishment for a very small mistake, I hope you’re okay Bricksie! I will say I am looking forward to more city content though, so that’s a silver lining 😊
So sorry this happened, we can tell how upset you are. Absolutely an honest mistake and in no way done with malicious intentions. Keep your head up, still will watch and bummer that it’s a harsh policy.
*Understanding shoulder slap from a fellow small business-person*
I've made mistakes in my own business that were similar in their ...errr gravity, and it makes a SO much more anxiety than before you made that mistake, worrying that you could do that again, and you probably were dwelling on it for weeks and weeks (or longer).
Hate to say it, but you will mess up again, like it or not, no matter how you try, it is likely to happen again. (but the second time around, you won't care as much.) But worrying about making that mistake again could wreck you.
so, now I'm understanding something I've been noticing in your attitude for quite a few months. but going to keep hush about what I noticed because it's no one's business but your own. I thought was because of you worrying about taking a certain financial risk. But, now I totally see straight through you in this moment. What happened has cost you way too much in stress! So, I just had to comment.
First, sorry, I am not trying to give free advice or run 'your' business for you. (Pretend you asked me for my POV) My only goal here in typing this is to pass on some experiences that I have had. Running a business is already super stressful and the stress can make you physically sick.
I learned the hard way, more than ten years ago, and that was after ten years worth of fretting, to weigh the tasks I could do in exchange for income against stress factors rather than only considering the money I would make. I think more carefully now about taking particular tasks/jobs. Like; is that a very reliable income source that you can't afford to let go? If it is a high stress task, are you able to fill that gap with a different income source that will be far less stressful and actually more fun? Maybe the funner task would make less money, but if it's much less stress on me, then I choose the least stressful route to my income.
You are pretty well established in your own right at this point, so I think you have the privilege of being a bit snobby about what services/tasks you choose to perform. But what decision you make is your business of course.
So, summary; Measure the weight/stress/burden of a task and compare it to how badly you need that income.
And if you don't like this comment than just ignore it. I mean, I couldn't actually ask you first before I commented if you wanted a bit of advice or not.
Jordan, it’s gonna be okay. Your channel has been amazing for several years, so a few months of delayed reviews is no big deal - we watch your reviews because we value your thoughts - not to just be an announcer for new sets. Your city is amazing! And that is content that is 100% bricksie.
This seems like it is Legos problem for including the groot right next to the tower. Keep going, and I promise that May is a lot closer than it seems!! I have enjoyed your passionate content for years now and will continue to do so regardless of what content you produce. Don’t let .3 seconds ruin the start of a new year or impact your moving experience as you expand the Bricksie business. Thank you so much for all you do!
Gonna be honest, this is at least 80% on them putting that there on display. Its waiting for a slipup like this... 🤷🤦
Solution: Never put stuff like that in places people are gonna record/have interviews etc
I agree 80% Lego employees made a big error. I would suggest that Jordan should, in hindsight, have deleted the footage as the risk was just not worth taking. I still believe there should be no punishment for Jordan given the somewhat exceptional circumstances.
You’re the best Jordan! This is just an small hiccup and thats what life is all about - overcoming challenges and continuing to thrive! Can’t wait whats in store! Your community will always support you!
Well, I, for one, much prefer your city reviews and shopping videos! Now you have an opportunity for more of those videos! Plus as you know, 6 months will fly by!
I don't think its fair they did that. They should have said something to you guys about it and maybe have it displayed on another table so accidents like this wouldn't happen. This feels like it was mostly their mistake.
Nope his mistake he knew he had to blur it and forgot to
We are all human. We all make mistakes. I too recently made a mistake at work, which I like to think I do not typically do, and didn't feel good about it for a while. You feel the way you do because you care which is not something all people do nowadays. While set reviews are a part of your channel, you have got so much more going on. Looking forward to all content you put out.
So sorry to hear this. Mistakes do happen. You will overcome this, and we will be here along with you.
I don’t comment much on TH-cam but this video just shows that you’re a professional.
I oversee a communications operation for a very large firm and it is inexcusable to have different embargo products in the same frame. That’s on Lego. It creates more work for content creators and slows the release of videos (which is bad for Lego). It creates situations like this one where an honest mistake takes place. If anyone should be put on probation, then it should be the Lego team that arranged this year’s event as that is some seriously amateur stuff.
With that said, Lego needs to reverse their decision or, at a minimum, shorten the probationary period so you can start receiving the sets with a February 1 release date. You already missed out on the impending releases so that’s enough to send a message, if that’s what Lego was intending.
As an AFOL and new dad (with lots of children in my family and social circle), I bought roughly $25K in Lego sets in 2023 across the Lego Store, third party vendors (like Target, Costco, etc.), and retired sets and pieces off BrickLink and eBay. I caught up and still have tons more to buy. This happened because of your channel. I won’t be buying anymore Lego sets until Lego reverses their decision or your probation ends. Lego probably doesn’t care since I am just one customer but it is a principled position to take. Please give us an update about the probation.
Keep your head up and I look forward to your future videos.
Hard luck being put on probation mistakes do happen your character shows who you are in your videos you do alot of great reviews for LAN.
Keep up the great work and i think the word you were looking for is the silver lining in the cloud is you are now able to concentrate more on your big plans for 2024.
I love watching your channel its wholesome and family friendly cant wait to see the results for 2024
You are always so good at turning lemons into lemonade! Congratulations on the 2400sqft - I look forward to seeing the reveal and the journey of the move!
Sorry to hear this but keep up the amazing work! Great videos and channel and don’t let this weigh you down. Honestly, I would say it’s the designers at Lego headquarters that are at fault. They knew that they were being filmed and knew more information than you did about the sets in the room. If it was so serious then Lego would have done a better job keeping their sets hidden during a media event. Pretty harsh punishment for something not known explicitly in advance. Just my two cents!
Can’t believe they would do this to you! They need to put themselves of probation, after all you provide so much value
Long time follower, first time commenter. But I have to say that you and your fam are amazing, the best Lego TH-camrs, and I’m so sorry that this harsh penalty has been handed down! Hopefully 6 months will fly by and you’ll be back as a full time LAN ambassador. But either way you’re incredible and everyone knows that this was an honest mistake, with zero intention. Thank you for always producing amazing videos and having such a positive attitude! 🤗
That's really unfortunate for you, and also seems kind of harsh for such a tiny mistake, but I guess Lego is just following their established rules for such matters. I will certainly keep watching your videos anyway, regardless of your LAN status. You're doing at great job!
That sucks man, but I love how you are turning it into something positive instead and finding something else to occupy yourself with for that time.
Also the "project" sounds epic, can't wait to hear more about it and see how it's going to turn out :D
Turn lemons into lemonade haha. I think the biggest part of the channel (at least for me) IS the lego city and your original builds, etc. The reviews on the new stuff is cool but because of the lego embargo's that information is everywhere (including your channel) so yes I like to get your views on those sets/etc but those are my least favorite videos aside from just knowing about those sets, so if you still feature the new stuff when you are able to discuss it, that would be more than enough for me, so I'd say just do a video ON the embargo release dates to let people know about the new sets and what you think about them (even though you don't have them hands on) then if/when you buy the set you can have even more content with your hands on videos like you mentioned you could do multiple reviews in bulk in one video. I think this will work out just fine and looking SUPER forward to your move to more space, you'll be able to grow even further channel wise and have so many more options with what you can build and display, etc! Happy for you!
So sorry to hear this, I think you were treated unfairly. Love your videos and your channel! I'm personally not as interested in new products and reviews, I enjoy keeping up with you and your family and your work on the city. Congrats on the 2400 sq ft, looking forward to it!
