Comment your hot take below!
Blue bricks are the ONLY colour that taste good.
My hot take is that Lego should make sets more accessible to people with giant Hands like me I find it quite hard to get my hands inside the set to move the minifigure when I am making stop motion
Yes
Edna mode’s head is not as cursed or scary as 2008-2010 chancellor palpatine. He still gives me nightmares
Ninjago is only good before they changed art stile
My hot take is that people need to stop complaining about repetitive build experience of sets; there is no way Lego could fix it, and besides you only have to do it once in your life and then the set is permanently assembled and you never need to do it again. Nothing infuriates me more than seeing people treat something unavoidable like an objective flaw of a set
I can agree with this 😌👍
Maybe they need to stop buying so many legos
This is true
Nah, if something isn't fun it isn't fun. If the process is more important to the person than the end result, your argument fails apart.
@@NB-is6pb I'd like you to suggest one way in which Lego could do anything to fix this. Also just because some people have that mindset doesn't mean everyone does, and if a set makes at least 1 person happy it deserves to exist.
My hot take is that Lego is way to focused on the collectors anymore and going along with that, ITS WAY TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE
i feel you bro
YES!!! Almost every cool good set now is hundreds of dollars.
Not a hot take. Bro be spitting facts
That it not a hot take it’s a cold take.
@@bricksterstudios1015it’s actually hysterical how many people have 0 clue what a hot take means. They’ll say “HOT TAKE:” only to give the most universally agreed upon opinion of all time
Hot Take: Lego should make more unlicensed sets and more themes of their own.
More knights
I agree. They should really lean into the historical time periods. Aztecs & Mayans, Three Kingdoms, Shogunate Japan (just think of the ‘wood’ working opportunities!), Ancient Mediterranean, and the age of exploration to name a few. I think a tall ship navigating the northwest passage would be cool; or a cargo sledge with polar bear hunting party. Pirates and Knights show that there is lots of potential love for unlicensed historical stuff.
A lot of people think that, so I’m not sure if it’s a hot take.
A
A
Another take: Modern Lego instructions have too many steps with too few bricks added in each step.
Agreed!
Yeah, although conversely I would say the older sets didn't have enough.
I kinda like it like that since I'm not overwhelmed with finding tons of pieces to use for one step
They can feel a bit silly to me, but I think that it probably helps accessibility for some, and I think that benefit outweighs any con.
I have definitely found myself saying "they made an entire step for that?!" a few times but I don't think I would prefer adding a half pound of bricks every step either.
Hot take: lego should remaster more sets. Not only 1980s-1999. But also the early 2000s.
Well they have Vikings had a remake, Tahu did too the Stealth hunter is also getting a stealth remake. We get regular support for them in cmfs just as well as anything from the 80s.
Not a hot take but... Lego Space should be its own seperate theme again. Not bound to Lego City and Lego Star Wars. I miss Ice Planet, Space Police and Blacktron.
9:57 Honestly, i have to agree with jason. I mean, they do hurt, but its like getting a shot. It only hurts for a second, and then the pain is over
I agree
It only hurts when the piece breaks from being stepped on, because now you can't use that piece anymore.
I’ve literally never even felt it. But then again, I stepped on a nail facing straight up one time, and it didn’t go through my foot, so I guess the bottoms of my feet are just made of steel.
My hottest take is that Bionicle doesn't need to come back. I say this as a huge Bionicle fan and collector, but it had a good run and I don't know that they can ever recapture that lightning in a bottle again.
my hot take is that the lego molded dinosaurs are actually good, they allow for lego to actually focus on the brick built parts, instead of having to make a weird not-quite-right looking lego dino and a lazy looking lego car
besides, molded parts on lego dinosaurs have been a thing since the beginning of lego dinosaurs, the first lego dinosaur line, "dinosaur" used primarily unique molded sets, and they have always looked off, so you can't say "lego therizinosaurus bad" and also praise the lego dimetrodon, which looks nothing like a dimetrodon whatsoever
also maybe not as much of a hot take, but when are we getting a new lego dinosaur theme like a lego caveman theme or lego walking with line?
(also yet another time wondering where proper lego portal sets are)
The adventures stego and trex
Lego needs to stop making so many huge expensive sets, there should only be a few a year, or one a theme
There should be more cheaper affordable sets
I agree with GWP problem and retiring sets too quickly
I think we can all agree that we want the REAL backgrounded box arts again.
Agreed. Solid black background was fun for a while but it’s pretty stale now and lacks excitement.
@@ChrisTwoFourbut isn’t the solid black only for the adult focused sets in order to indicate them?
@vast9467, you're right. It helps indicate the 18+ range. However, I bought the creator expert mustang and it was just more exciting to see it with box art then the box of the icons Porsche. A minor issue I know, but enjoyment of lego starts from the time I see it in the store and have to save up for it😁 still fair point you made
A cold take
I have a potentially hot take: Creator 3-in-1 sets are the best value for your money. It's literally 3 toys in one box and (usually) the alternate models are pretty good. I have the white rabbit set but right now it's in the cockatiel build sitting on my pc monitor. I just live the variety of sets that come out every year and the options in each set. I have a few of the dragons and cars myself and I love them a lot.
They're also some of the few Lego sets today that actually live up to the premise of the whole system, rebuilding a toy into a different toy. The modern uber expensive replicas of random items in a house are much lamer in comparison, and I genuinely wonder why anyone would prefer them over say, a model kit, which would both be cheaper and more fun, as you get to paint the model after you build it, giving it your own touch, unlike Lego sets, which are actually somehow a very dystopian concept of everyone building an exact same art piece to display, with no original touch or creativity, just plastic fake radios as far as eye can see.
Creator is the most LEGO of all LEGO themes. Everything LEGO is all about at its core, wrapped up in one theme. I actually kinda miss when Creator was the only theme that specifically never included minifigures, because that was like an identity statement to tell you Creator is all about actually building something. Too much of LEGO culture is just people obsessing over minifigures now, which makes Creator sets feel like a refreshing reminder of what LEGO is really for.
I disagree it always makes me want to buy three and go over budget to get all the builds
No, it just steals from original themes. “Oh, you want pirate ships, castle, space and more? Oh ok well put it is one theme where it gets one set per 5 years and there extremely expensive” -modern Lego
Also, there are usually a lot more Creator 3-in-1 MOCs on Rebrickable than other themes. Probably because it strongly encourages creativity, and all the pieces for them mesh well. They also use a lot more flat colors, and a lot less printing and stickers.
Hot take: Lego Speed Champions set designers need to be in charge of building Star Wars sets. Speed Champions cars have such amazing builds, and Star Wars could benefit from that.
Ninjago destroyed not only so many subthemes and themes, but also flatout stole Bionicle's thunder alongside Star Wars.
The latter theme also ending Constraction thanks to the abysmal Solo movie-themes sets.
Ninjago has gone on for too damn long and needs to either stop or have a break for a few years in order to let other themes breathe.
Ninjago should’ve ended with rise of the oni. Ever since they added Sora and Arin the show has been ruined.
I hate dusting legos. I’ll just disassemble and rebuild the whole thing, wiping anything that needs it along the way rather than dust it still assembled.
I use a variety of make up brushes, different sizes for different details.
It takes time but can be fun.
9:58 Jason Is Right, Stepping on Lego barely feels like anything
your too powerful to be left alive.
I lowkey want lego space police to come back the minifigures were so creative and the sets itself were designed well and very much detailed
Yesssss Space Police 4: Space Precinct 🤩
My hot take is that Lego speed champions is one of the best themes for what you pay for. Although they’re starting to get pricy they’re so worth it. An 8 stud wide car with a figure is so worth it for the prices
Here’s my hot take: LEGO doesn’t have *A* golden age, cuz they’ve been throwing out bangers for decades!
I won't say that any one time was Lego's golden age, but I am miffed that they no longer have many of their own themes. Space, Castle, Pirates, Western, Aquazone, etc were all really good themes, but all seem to have been dropped by the wayside, in favour of licensed themes
There need to be more historical sets like knights , vikings , gladiators
We need a fully fledged ancient Egypt theme that's NOT focused on 19th century Indiana Jones proxies.
My hot take is lego should lower prices
Not very hot, though; I think everyone thinks that! Lego has gone crazy with pricing.
Always wait for a sale. ✌️
Agreed.
Completely glacial take
@@moonshoes11 But it seems like most of the sets I want never go on sale... Either that or I just never catch them
Hot Take: Voldemort being the only LEGO minifig to have a nose, despite famously NOT having one is the most cursed design idea LEGO has ever come up with.
U FORGOT SQUIDWARD
gollum had a nose print too
The cowboy outlaw had a nose
What about Pinocchio?
That's neither true nor a hot take
9:03 - Hey thats me! Lol
You‘re right
Lol 5 year old
@@TFSM_studios
Anybody: *Enjoys something*
Random person in youtube comments:
"This is unacceptable"
@@ShinyShinyIsAlwaysBeingSerious I'm saying 5 year old because those kids eat that now unless you are an adult then act like one
GWD _does_ suck. I bought the D&D set within hours of launch, while the mimic dice box was still being actively advertised, and still didn't get one because they ran out.
Hot take: Lego should make more ideas sets that come through
My hot take is that Lego bags shouldn’t have become what they are today. A
4000 piece Lego set in 2016 had like 5-7 bag numbers, but modern ones have over 30. There would be no need for Lego to make eco friendly bags if they just filled up the bags like they used to and also made less like you used to.
Better yet, use eco-friendly bags AND fill them up properly.
Or better yet, don't use bags at all. Have people dig through everything for what they need.
@@VestedUTuber the paper bags are way worse. I don’t think a little plastic bag is going to change much when the whole toy literally is made out of plastic
@@Comuzzy
Except you're not immediately disposing of LEGO elements like you are with the bags. The bags are single-use.
@@Comuzzy I honestly prefer the paper bags. It’s sturdy enough and much easier to dispose of.
Elves retired too soon and I want my girl Naida back :(
Recently I built a lot of older sets and then came back to a newer set and found myself forgetting the box in the corner with the step pieces existed.
The absolute peak of Lego was when I could buy Lego from a toystore near me by weight. Just go in there scoop up random pieces you like into a bag from a huge bucket and weight them. Lego is at its best when you have random parts and you just build what ever you want.
7:09
I think we may have slightly offended him...
Although I do not think Galidor should be revisited. The figures were very high quality and way better than they are given credit for. People always show the wonky crappy burger toys. But the real figures were brilliant! Lots of proper action figure manufacturers can learn a thing or two from Lego on how to make high quality figures.
I forgot about galidor
Rock Raiders FTW!
Lego Ninjago and it's popularity killed Lego's ability to create unique new themes.
I have never agreed more with something that I whole-heartedly hate.
What about Dreamzzz?
But they keep making new themes, and they do alright but cant survive for very long, Bionicle didnt prevent Ninjago, Ninjago didnt prevent Monkie Kid, they are just rare examples of extremely successful lines
I hate that you are right
@@joeunknown7601 only right if you don't look at legos history
Not sure how hot this take is but LEGO need to slow down on releasing so many new pieces. So many new pieces can be made with existing bricks and don't provide and extra stability. Would also reduce people complaining about low piece counts are!
Any piece that can be built from other pieces, I call that a “cheat piece”. I just today built a classic boat dock piece 2617 out of smaller grey bricks and tiles.
ALL FOOLS!!!! It’s the radioactive coloured ones that taste the best. Oh and one more thing CONSTRICTAI ARE THE BEST SERPENTINE
Nah the fangpire is the best tribe
I really enjoyed the Jack Stone theme back in the days.
Honestly me too
2:46 ah yes my favriote series. the "Orient Express"
Johnny Lightning is my favorite LEGO character too.
Ok I gotta say it. Rock Raiders is better than Power Miners. PM is a weird neon mess and RR has a spot on excavation design and color palette. And the game!
I do agree that Lego retires sets a bit too quickly, I understand they make a lot of sets and need room in stores to sell the things but as a new fan it´s pretty annoying to find a set I want only to learn it costs 300+ bucks because it´s not available anymore
the Quatro line should get more specific grab-bags, like a mountain grab-bag or farm grab-bag
Orient Expedition is so nostalgic for me. Bring it back. 😎
It's true: stepping on LEGO actually feels nice. Just like walking barefoot on gravel. Those 2x2 tiles with technic pins are some of the nicest feeling ones.
IDK if it's a hot take, but in my experience the worst piece to step on by far is an upside-down CCBS armor piece. That's the only time I've ever had a Lego piece draw blood
I prefer a sets playability and gimmicks over its accuracy or detail
Yeah same
Okay I have 2 hot takes:
1: Lego lines and sets PEAKED before 2018, I’m not saying 2018 was a bad year for Lego, we got a few good sets, I’m saying it was the last year of good sets, also before then we had some incredible lines, like Bionicle, Power Miners, or Ultra Agents, I’d rather have a bunch of pretty good sets release then one super good set every once in a while, I guess to add on is that the older lines were so cool and creative, I miss that
Take 2: This isn’t necessarily about Lego itself, but the community of Lego Star Wars. I hate when people (mostly Lego TH-camrs) complain about literally every single set Lego releases, they just always find something to complain about, weather is figures, a particular set design, price, or anything else, I have never seen a Lego Star Wars TH-camr give a genuinely good review on a set, don’t even get me started on them with figures, they just love to critique them the most, every single detail, a recent example of this is the Courescant Guard Republic Gunship, the prints are decent in my opinion but they just hate everything about the figures it seems, or the fact of rare figures being more available to the public, they would rather have a really good figure locked behind a pay wall so they can still criticize it, instead of having it more available for everyone to enjoy
Stepping on legos doesn't hurt enough
hot take: Lego should re-release Bionicle gen 1. no changes to the sets beyond using newer versions of some of the pieces. Make movies for each arc, accounting for retcons.
I don't think it would be a good idea. Bionicle G1 was always lacking in articulation and often had generic and repetitive builds. The main characters were McDonald's toys and gear functions loose. Lots of the retcons explained away the mystery the most core part of early bionicle and what people in.
@@n_ex13 never thought I'd encounter someone with the wrong opinion on bionicle's story
but here we are
@@Monkchelle_Kongbama well maybe I should correct myself.
Most retcons (aside from a couple very late in the game) were good
The problem is all that mystery is gone if you re-lease it it's just the already spoiled.
Early bionicle is fundamentally built on the mystery and well without that it's hard drawing in new fans.
@@n_ex13 sometimes I slather myself in oil and pretend I'm a slug
@@Monkchelle_Kongbama great to know
Adventurers was probably my favorite LEGO line of all time. I loved them as a kid and still remember them very fondly.
10:34 President Business, is that you?
5:37 that would be the Caribbean Clipper!! It did not come out in the 90's, it came out in 1989 as part of the first wave of Lego Pirates. That hull piece did not come with it, it's bow section piece was one color. And at age 46 I still have this set from when I was 13. and it is 100% complete. as are all of my First wave of Lego Pirates sets.
And those pirate ships sure like to collect dust, don’t they? They’re shaped like a bowl, everything gets down in there…
My favourites are Legoland Town and Model Team, with growing up in that era of Lego.
Hot take: Its okay to buy 3rd part kits as long as the kit isnt in active production. Lego can reprint old kits if they REALLY wanted to but dont because of production capacity.
This means that if you want a discontinued kit, you're paying a scalper 2X or greater the retail price. Aftermarket, aka "bootleg" kits really only hurt the greedy scalpers.
Hot take, Lego friends is one of the most detailed and underrated themes
My hot take:
Short Version: Lego needs to stop making new shows and start making new themes
Long Version: Every new lego original theme since Chima has tried to emulate the success of Ninjago. It seems like every single Lego theme has to have a show to explain why every set is the way it is. But now, those shows aren’t even of broadcast TV, so they aren’t giving NEW exposure, the shows are only being seen by the people who decide to seek them out. I think if Lego released a new theme, and used only tradicional advertising, the money saved from not producing an accompanying series could actually make the line more profitable in the long run. Maybe if a line proves successful, then they can start a show to give it more exposure.
Looking at it
You do have a point but well the reason why they make shows has changed for one you can't really gain anymore exposure through ads than they already have.
Secondly Lego is just much much bigger than in the two thousands, a success than would be a failure or at best average now. The cost of a show cuts much less into the profits of any given theme.
Thirdly it serves not to make people aware but to attach fans to it. Create loyalty to the theme
@@n_ex13 Firstly, I agree, Lego probably can’t get any new exposure from ads at this point is its life. Where I live at least, you’d have to live under a rock to not know what Lego is. I mean, no other toy gets whole isles to itself as consistently as Lego does. That being said, the goal of advertising isn’t always new exposure, it’s often exposure of things like new products (say perhaps, a new Lego theme) or literally just a reminder that the product exists. You know what Coke is, but they hope that by showing you an ad for it, you’ll want to buy a coke.
I agree that the space has definitely changed. That’s why they keep working with the Ninjago model, because it brought them success. That being said, risks often are what lead to the biggest successes. Bioncle was something completely different from anything Lego had done before when it came out. It wound up being one of the things that saved Lego from collapsing back then. Did that sprit of risk have its flaws? Yes! Stuff like Znap and Glalidor came out about the same time. But that was when Lego was at its lowest, and they tried anything, everything, to save themselves. Now, they’re bigger than ever, and they take less risks than ever when they can afford the most hits.
Finally, yeah, tv shows ARE great for creating loyalty to a theme. I agree with that statement entirely. I just personally wish Lego would make smaller, more disposable, themes that you don’t need to convince people to come back and buy again year in and year out, although that is 100% personal preference on my part.
I don't generally keep my sets together. I build them, and then use the parts later for other MOC builds
4:06 I agree with Ayden, tho it may be nostalgia kicking in.
1. 80s-90s
2. now
3. else
6270 Pirate island was my first ever Lego set, so nostalgic!!!
Stepping on a Lego brick only hurts if you don't expect it to be honest
11:05 I also do that. I rarely look at the little square which leads to sometimes making mistakes. But nowadays it us pretty easy to do it.
Lego has become overreliant on licensed themes, and in the coming years lego will need to move back to original themes, or expand who they can work with. The star wars sequel trilogy and streaming series won't generate the same interest as the clone wars, prequels, and original trilogy have. Marvel is somewhat more flexible but has a similar issue with the MCU.
Lego should have better ways of getting your hands on retired sets maybe poll for rereleasing sets and collections
I personally am missing the tie fighter helmet set from my collection and the only way to get it now is the second hand market
Throwbots were way more fun than Bionacle and dont deserve to be forgotten.
That opening image of fractured brown plates gives me PTSD flashbacks to my own broken brown pieces.
Coming up on the section about eating them, well I deal with the brittle stuff by resorting to Ebay and AliExpress. Good place for buying individual bricks and bulk packets of pieces.
I remember the start of the Star Wars line. I was an 80s kid, 90s teen, and most of my childhood collecting was in the 90s, between age 9 aaaand... 21-22? I got the podracer set, but that was near teh time I wandered off into the likes of Baldur's Gate and Dragonball Z.
My childhood Lego was Space - Futuron, M-Tron, Space Police 1 & 2, Iceworld, Spyrius, and the first Aliens line. My first Lego Man, my dearest Jerry Bumstead, is a yellow Futuron Space Lego minifigure. I still have Jerry, though he's had a couple of part trades. He's hardly a Ship of Theseus though. I even have Jerry's first companions stored away, Sarah, Sue, and Tom (respectively, black, red, and blue Futuron Space minifigs).
I personally think though more recent Star wars sets can be really good, as I have Ahsoka's T-6 Shuttle (the one in the _Ahsoka_ show with the wing section being able to turn vertical or horizontal). It was a great set to buy and I had fun building it. And breaking it down later.
My hot take is probably that with a few modern exceptions the best licensed set were from the short lived Pirates Of The Caribbean line. I remember building and playing with The Black Pearl set as a kid and loving it. Wish they would do more full scale ships like the Flying Dutchman and the Inteceptor, etc.
Discovered you today and watched a few of your video, they brough back nice memories, but i disagrees with jack stone being bad, guess i have a hot take.
Jack stone series was really interesting and good.
My first lego was the 4668 crane truck, which i was so proud of because i made it 100% without the manual as a kid.
My dad bough the Jack stone VHS video i had played so much time.
This VHS was one of the first historical 3D movies at Lego attempt and was really nice for that time.
1. Galidor is only bad if you didn’t play Galidor Quest
2. Lego City would be much better if they could connect with the modulars or in a similar way without customization. (Also needs less cops)
3. Lego Friends has some cool looking sets but they should just use regular minifigs - it’s a big reason I don’t buy any of the sets.
Agreed about the figs! And Lego City could do delivery vehicles, moving vans, and I’d like to see Post Office or News Studio.
Agreed
I remember my mom asking me if I've ever heard of a Lego set called Galidor. I replied, "Yeah, it's crap."
The dude talking about looking at only the picture is exactly how Ive been building for years
Hot take: Ninjago needs more villain sets! Back in the old days with the serpentine wave, there were so many villain vehicles. Now we barely get any. What’s the point of a ninja army if they have nobody to fight?
my weird hot take is that city has always been over hyped. Creators always make videos like "hey check out my $10,000 lego city!" But to me at least, the sets always seem too similar and just completely forgettable.
The 1990s pirates theme is one of the greatest Lego themes of all time
Regarding the hot take that lego was better 20 years ago - I really enjoy the simplicity and cost effective nature of that time. something about the simplicity of lego was always nice. The original lego had only five colours - and adding green was like pulling teeth apparently. I think that although modern lego is at a fantastic scale and detail compared to any time before and is more successful than ever - there is something special about the way lego used to be that feels mostly lost now. Is it better? Is it worse? I have no idea. It's just different. But what's great about lego is that nothing stops you from building however you want. Its just that the official sets have modern aesthetics and prices. Maybe some themes should have a return to this older style - but I don't know how or if it would work.
The Galador should be a theme where they turn them into legos and have it be forgotten and lost
Here's my hot take: Lego should make sets wich represent the levels from the old Lego Video games (Lego star wars I and II, Lego batman, etc)
I would bougth them.
I feel like Time Cruisers theme is now the Dreamz theme.
Man. I just wish that lego currently had a space theme, and for that matter that money and space on my shelf to be able to spend 50 or 60 bucks on a new star wars set.
Call it a hot take if you will I think most people want to see an sls, or falcon 9, or starship, or even long march lego set, even though it would probobly be those 18+ sets priced high and more for looking at than playing with.
Hot take: There is no greatest year for Lego, they’re all fantastic
Hot Take: the more fans complain about nitpicky things, the less LEGO should make sets for that line every year
Hot Take: LEGO should outsource to another company to make and market Bionicle. I think some company that deals with professional figures could produce Bionicle and even perhaps make a new comic series. Bionicle could be the next Transformers.
My hot take is that the newer boxes for cmfs are better than bags. feeling the peices under the plastic bag was never a thing that was meant to happen, otherwise they would have just sold the figures as is.
I live alone , my Living Room is now the Lego Room , First Rule of the Lego Room , Slippers on at ALL Times!!!!!!!
Hot take: System fans are a bit too harsh on the old constraction lines. I see a lot of system focused people completely dismiss Bionicle and Hero Factory and while I dont think people _need_ to like the sets or lines I do think its often a bit too much. Highly recommend system fans pick up a bionicle 2001-2003 set if for no other reason that to appreciate why these toys where so ubiquious and ended up with such a choke hold on a generation
Hot take 1: Collectible display sets are super boring. "It looks like a thing" is not a play feature.
Hot take 2: The over-use of Technic pieces in Lego sets severely decreases their value in terms of creativity and imagination, because Technic pieces are more advanced and specific for their purposes. If you want this Star Wars ship or Chima or Ninjago set, so you can set it on the shelf and dust it sometimes, it's fine. If you want to build and play, like a child, Technic parts are a big ask.
Hot take 3: Lego cities that are all or mostly just sets and modular buildings (and "rebrickable" models) are also pretty boring. Let me guess, your city has the downtown, where you've got all the Modular Buildings, the three big Marvel buildings, Ghostbusters HQ, the Simpsons buildings, and a few alternate builds of Modulars here and there. Then you've got the harbor, where you've put that lighthouse, and then lined up all your boats. And on the other side is the suburb, where there's four Creator theme houses, at the back there's the Ninjago City sets, and over here is a big amusement park with all the big ride sets. But what did *you* make?
Hot take 4: Lego city displays with roads and railways are just elaborate display set ups for car and train sets.
PS: if you want to just collect Lego as display objects, that's fine, you can do that. Hot takes are my opinions.
I almost never use the blue boxes either. Once I’m finished with a bag, I will look over the “extra” pieces, and if I have a double or one or if one of them seems too big to be a leftover then I’ll go back through the instructions and look at the blue boxes then to see where I lost the game of “spot the difference.”
I totally agree with hot take about building by finding the difference I do it always this way because first finding all pieces was always a kind of unnecessary step for me :)
The new millennium falcon comes with Rey, it is not a good Falcon.
I want a second series of space minifigs with more remakes from classic themes like the aliens with the crazy helmets and insectoids
My hot take is building Lego animals, creatures and monsters. They’re a little fragile and easy to fall apart so I do actually prefer the big molds for creatures as they’re not gonna fall apart and such. I also just hate making multiple legs and wings. That repetition drives me nuts. I love vehicles and buildings
To be honest, general LEGO sets retire too fast!
If I was an executive at LEGO, I'd tell them to at least wait half a year extra to retire the chosen set!
Hot take: LEGO Ninjago should have ended after its first three years instead of becoming an evergreen theme sink.
Hot Take 2: LEGO Minecraft took way too long to give us a Shulker.
Hot Take 3: LEGO Ideas should be allowed to do IPs that LEGO has only done for collectathon themes like Dimensions. (Looking at you, constantly-rejected Portal set ideas.) At least we got Sonic out of the Dimensions pitfall.
Hot take 4: LEGO should allow the European theme-specific magazines to come to the US.
Hot take 5: LEGO Minecraft is the best licensed theme.
My hot take: Replace all Friends minidolls with minifigs, at least those can walk properly! And they sit down better too.
🔥 take: I actually like stickers. I think they're great for moc building, and the overall design work that goes into stickers is insane 🤯
They should make a medieval theme with cool factions etc. Like with the medieval lego ideas sets
12:35 did you know that the lego 3in1 Dino has been on shelfs for a really long time
It came out in 2017!
My hot take is that probably most of my Lego is knock offs cuz they are WAYYY cheaper then Lego and they are compatible with other knock offs so it’s a win win with me cheaper and more parts so more imagination
My hot take is that minifig torsos should take only one central peg, so the torso can rotate
Hot take: It is hard to find a set with a lot of classic bricks in these days and not pay for it a great amount of money.
Have you ever looked into Lego classics and pick a brick might be interesting
@@n_ex13 Lego Classic is the best in these days, but try to compare the amount of these pieces to the older boxes of bricks from like 2006. And yes, Pick a Brick exists, but only on lego website, so there's no way to pick it up personally. As a child, I got 2 boxes of basic pieces, each one was about 1000 pieces, that's impossible to buy now.
