A big box of mixed sets, missing most of the pieces, impossible to fully complete is the perfect Lego experience. That's how I got all mine, passed down from cousins and in second-hand lots in great big dirty tubs a cat tried to shit in.
Owen! Owen nooooo! 76958 Dilophosaurus Ambush featuring Rare Dennis Nedry minifig and Barbasol can is deadstock!!! It'll be worth 2x in a few years!! Lego isn't for playing with anymore, it's a speculative asset class!!
Watching that prisoner in the tower in the sink filling up with water was like watching Escape From Alcatraz. And I've not even seen Escape From Alcatraz. But now I feel like I have. So thanks!
i really enjoyed how you got significantly more footage of washing the legos than the lego convention. some people might argue that the lego convention is a more interesting place to film but those people would be wrong, as the washing the lego portion of the video was a lot more tense. i expected half of them to end up in the drain or on the lawn, stolen by worms and ants
As what might be described as a "stupid child," it was interesting to see what LEGO was like before the IP deluge of the 2000s (the era I most dabbled with the bricks)
Oh, wow... The big box with all of my childhood Lego went to some actual child a couple of decades ago and I haven't thought about it much since. But the very first site of those neon green translucent bits from the UFO sets took me right back. They say smell is the sense most strongly linked to memory, but they're wrong - it's the nerves on the bottom of your feet.
I woke from a dream about the family home - long since sold and moved out from - feeling a bit melancholy about a lost past now impossible to return to. Then I watched this video and thought about the LEGO UFO set I owned as a six year old, and that feeling just kept on truckin'. Owen, thank you for making dreams come true...
This video reminds me how we all seem to have the same childhood. I played with the same sets and they went through the same stages, from shelf to box forgotten. Maybe we are all just the same. We really live too short. Just going through the same experiences and once we have lived our live we die. For all the experiences to fade away. Anyway fun to see Lego*tm.
I grew up in the 2000s, but local charity shops would often have lego from previous eras for cheap (crazy to imagine that now), either as full sets or as loose parts/minifigs, so I have a certain nostalgia for all those colourful 90s space themes--UFO was definitely one of my favs as well, the transparent heads for the aliens were really cool to me. As a kid I also freely mixed the licensed stuff with lego's own themes, I didn't really care that much about who the actual characters were and I often invented my own stories for them anyway. Overall fun video and the cats are cute!
Very nostalgic to see older legos and the joy of putting them together. I still have 99% of mine stashes safely in a box but unfortunately I loved those chain link legos a LOT and wore them as a bracelet outside. Someone else is probably still enjoying those as a kickass bracelet two decades after I lost them.
Unfortunately I was stuck with just some assorted, second-hand Duplo growing up and didn't get to experience the joy of actual Lego sets. As a result, children point and laugh and strangers spit at me when I pass by.
Look at this lad, real Lego as a child. I'd to go down to a pound shop in Newbridge and get Bild Bloks. I do actually enjoy washing Lego. You can scan the qr code on the minifig boxes and it tells you what's inside btw. :)
There really is something that feels lost about the modern direction of Lego sets and how they almost seem to feed anything but creativity. While I have no doubt that someone could try to rebuild an Avengers HQ into a mech or a fire station or something, the chances to try almost feel unlikely. Although I didn't grow up anywhere near the 80s, I had the privilege to play with my uncle's old Galaxy Explorer set whenever I visited my Grandma's home. Not only was it cool to just have the retro set in my hands, but it was also a joy to easily rebuild it into so many other concepts of space craft without much complication. It really felt like Lego was insisting you try beyond the instruction manual. Which by the way should be noted that the older ones really gave it's users some actual credit, rather than patronizing them with building steps for 2 pieces at a time. By contrast, my 2000s City sets felt like stacks of hollow boxes. To some extent that makes sense. A fire station doesn't need walls of 2x4 bricks, and the large pieces make it more cost effective. They even came out looking more accurate to their inspirations compared to their past counterparts. But it overall made it hard to think of ways that I could build something far more original. The big bin of random pieces came with far more offerings, despite the chaos.
condolances on having to end the video with richie. but honestly you guys should build something together, maybe a lego pirates cove or a diorama of the time he broke the toilet
my mam used to put me and my sister sitting in that exact tesco box to keep an eye on us while she gave our youngest sister baths.... truly, the universal grime container
we went through and sold all our childhood legos recently and somehow made over 10 grand. everything was kept well sorted and organized prior so that ended up working out in the long run
Holy FUCK I had the 6915 box. I was 99% a box of random bricks kid but that was the one whole set I had that I built properly. I'd never thought to attempt to identify it and here it just jumps out at me. edit: FUCK I had bits from whatever the fuck deep sea thing is at 6:55 and whatever the fuck medieval fantasy thing bat helmet guy was from too. AAAAA it's fucking weird. You're supposed to have a guinness at the pub set and I'm supposed to have VB at pub set or something. Australia and Ireland are very far apart, it just ain't right. NOBODY point out that Ned Kelly was an Irish nationalist.
I can't forgive Time Cruisers slander, Owen, I will be boycotting your work until more of it comes out, which gives me a decent four to six month window to get over it.
I’m doing the same thing with my old sets, I still have most of them (including some from UFO) with only minor missing/damaged pieces that I use BrickLink for getting replacements, I started last year in May and slowly been rebuilding, cleaning and organising my models so by the end I will know exactly how many pieces and Minifigures I have, it’s also been a lot of fun going through all of my old LEGO and rebuilding them, I’ve even got some models from you’re collection.
This just brings back memories of when I got the Lego pirate ship for Christmas and my younger Sister damaged the mast by chewing it before I could finish the assembly - I always hated her.
You can act all snooty Owen, but those Jurassic Park: The Lost World lego sets were awesome. I only wish I had the Jeff Goldblum lego man, but I didn't know which set had him.
No britwatch for the Zulu diorama? You're slipping!
10/10 Cute cat, I demand cat in every future review.
Riku no Inu
We all appreciate the extensive Lego washing footage, very cinematic!
Lynchian.

I remember as a kid my lego box being wet and smelling funny. I now realise as an adult that the cat had used it as a litter tray.
the spin a women around bit made me chuckle in a public train. Thank as always for the videos.

always a good time when a new infinite review is uploaded. even if Richie's involved..
i have often said that the biting satire of LEGO has been sorely overlooked (i have never said this)

I heard about all these big companies Legowashing but never truly understood it until now

The Lego rock raiders were the shit.
it always comes back to rock raiders doesn't it
Rock raiders + Alpha team
Always appreciate a nod to past Bridge Crew conversations regarding Data's power source.

I had no idea watching lego minifigures plunge underwater could be so zenlike.
Owen how date you bring UFO Lego to my mind for the first time in decades. 10/10 video as always
10 /10 on the cat
What do you call a Lego superhero? A block-buster.

I had a bin just like this one, I even recognize a lot of the exact pieces. Pretty sure I had that police motorcycle you were missing too.
this video needed more Richie
My Tuxedo cat also has a soul patch. Well done.
I think we were into lego around the same time. I thought the space police line was cool as hell, proof that anything in space is better

The cat’s name is All this Muck. This is why Owen said “All this Muck in the sink” when the cat jumped into the sink.
the fated return to the attic
More lego washing please
condolances on having to end the video with richie. but honestly you guys should build something together, maybe a lego pirates cove or a diorama of the time he broke the toilet
Oh fuck even seeing "Lego *System* brought me back two decades
That ending was heartwarming, I liked the house you made :c

Bohrokin' my Toa Nova until I Mata Nui
I love a wee lego skeleton, one of the greats!
very fruity video thanks

You're supposed to have a guinness at the pub set and I'm supposed to have VB at pub set or something. Australia and Ireland are very far apart, it just ain't right.
NOBODY point out that Ned Kelly was an Irish nationalist.
That line about cleaning blu-tack out of your helmet was absolutely unwarranted
You have soooo many sets that I also had as a child :)
@8:50 Heh, everyone has one of those clueless old relatives. If only he could see you now he'd eat those words!
They're putting the blind bag characters in boxes now, so you can't feel for who it is? Lego is devious.
I still occasionally listen to korns 2nd album, but albeit more rarely than most of their other albums

Basil the Batlord thumbnail 10/10.
the doodlegirl VHS???
This video certainly plays well
underrated pun
My god, so the blue tesco lego box was part of more childhoods than I realised.
What is the name of the cat(s)?
Also Richie is lovely.
The tuxedo cat is Kitty, the black cat who broke in to interrupt my filming belongs to a neighbour and I call her Shoes.
I see that box copy of Jackass. I hope that's the next video.
MORE OWENSLOP
Loved it as ever owen, can't wait for the pod!
2:50 - It works only as long you know the source material.
This just brings back memories of when I got the Lego pirate ship for Christmas and my younger Sister damaged the mast by chewing it before I could finish the assembly - I always hated her.
12 minutes? I'd watch 12 hours of nothing but you building with Legos.
Surprised you got back out of the attic without reading Naughty Bits again.
You can act all snooty Owen, but those Jurassic Park: The Lost World lego sets were awesome. I only wish I had the Jeff Goldblum lego man, but I didn't know which set had him.
yeah . . . time cruisers owns dude.
Looking at your incomplete sets there shows me that you and I had several of the same sets... did you raid my attic by accident?
How could young Owen not have fallen in love with those clear neon green pieces?
Lovely, dare I say, wholesome stuff!
Let's go Lego 🎉
hell yeah lego
Time cruisers keep winning
Youre incredible
Your cat is cute :)
Owen did they ever sell Black and TanTron sets in Eire?
Reminds me of the good old days where you can rotate women
stickle bricks next yeah?
Is that Zulu set problematic? It seems so, but I'm not exactly sure how.
Hello, from memory: it's from a movie about british soldiers subjugating an african nation during the colonial era.
hey it's that lego guy❤
gonna be so sad when richie dies
You can’t make fun of that kids cap when it matches your throw pillows
Nice
Weird, I thought you hated the Rebuilds
8:33 Roving Who?
See you
Look at that box! So messy
Cat! Can the next video be about the cat please?
