This is very smart and resourceful from a manufacturing perspective. It’s hard to make a new mold for a new piece so reusing old pieces in different ways is a lot easier, cheaper and smarter. This also gives Lego pieces a wider range to be used in many different ways.
Lego also has very specific methods for disposing of unused molds. Iirc, the dismantle them, salvaging anything that can be reused, and then the rest is placed in a hole and buried in concrete. However I know for a fact they used to just bury them whole in concrete, rather than salvaging parts.
thanks captain obvious
lol take your meds@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5
Fun fact: not only did other mixels use animal/clever item pieces such as cobrax with a snake as his tongue, forx used the banana, and skrubz used the ice cream cone to hold up its eye, but mixels are going on 10 years in February 2024
The entire lego friends greenhouse is full of smart building techniques for plants, if you wanna use that
Really?
yeah friends has gonna really good these last few waves but that one is really on a serious level and the plant techniques are no exception @@datey_in_a_1st_taxi
SERIOUSLY,
Ngl the freinds sets are pretty good looking but are ruined by mini dolls
@@mrminemachine8true
5:36 - That trumpet piece is cool because it's made with mostly common pieces. Love it when Lego does that over smelting a new 'trumpet piece'.
It looks like you can make it using only spare pieces that you get after building a Lego set
9:00 funny how this "snot" is connected to the model using studs not on top, making it a SNOT building technique in two different ways.
OMG. I had the Indiana Jones set growing up. I didn't ever think the revolver was used as a handle for a gas can... I thought it was a super gun with extra ammo. Even as an adult too haha.
Same. I didn't realise until now that it was supposed to be a jerry can handle.
Alight, let’s talk about Lego botanical series, my sister loves them and I’ve been blown away by how creative they are, some of my favorite parts usage that is strange and genius. First, on the orchid set, some of the flowers are reprinted heads of the demegorgon from stranger things. The succulents are full of fun design choices such as eggs for leaves, and blasters to hold the petals of a large maroon flower in place. Then there’s potted plants which use both newsboy caps as leaves, as well as clam shells. Finally and one of my favorites, is the bonsai tree using over 30 little frogs as pink and white leaves
Also they reuse the samurai/ sensi hat from ninjago a ton too, you could do a whole video on these sets honestly
Lego is just a relaxing thing to do honestly
True
I wish the prices weren't 1 full work day per 2 hours of lego building but I guess if we measured everything we purchased in work hours we'd probably ruin our lives with stress.
@@00WhiteBlade well the bigger the set the bigger the price, I got two of the speed champions sets for $20 or $15 but it's a well spent lego sets
The fur collar is also used as a birds nest in the 10305 Lion Knights Castle set.
its actually pretty wacky to me that the set at 0:55 has a machinegun. a lot of things ride the line of "we wont depict modern military weapons" but this is definitely cutting it a little close
I love these videos so much. Makes me gasps in amazement with how smart Lego is with their pieces.
Set designers really need more credit😂
@@Child_Gobbler Yes
I've seen many sci-fi lego sets use a pair of binoculars on the end of a laser pistol to make it look more like a rifle. Very creative stuff!
I think a lot of the sets from the botanical collection are worth mentioning. For example, the wildflower bouquet uses unique colored pirate hats as flower petals and green sausages for stems!
Also the Orchid and Bonsai Tree using frogs, or one of the succulents using machineguns.^^
@@jf_kein_k8590 That succulents set makes you wonder: Are those pistols... or pistils?
Botafogo Jersey !!!😱😱😱
The Popsicles were used as the chair backs in the massive rivendell set, just another cool piece usage
Based on some of the things mentioned in this video, I was able to look at my Viking Village set and notice how some items were used!
-A simple black pistol is used as the spigot for a mead barrel.
-Golden hot dogs are used for horn-like ornamentation on the top of the mead hall.
-As well, a minifigure set of epaulets are used for more ornamentation.
I thought these were really clever uses!
I think an honorable mention should be the Botanical sets. They use anywhere from solid colored heads, pirate hats, and frogs!
i'm slowly working my way through all of this channel's videos and what's really 500 IQ is the writing and editing for each video. it's just so well done.
lego set 60336 has a clever use of whips as well: they are used as the cables for the charging stand, in fact, it uses 2
5:07 killow’s bike also uses paint rollers
9:27 also the coat hanger is the dead bush piece recolored in black
"You may already know, that LEGO really loves sausages" 💀💀 (5:38)
These would all be absolutely horrifying to come across in real life
Imagine stumbling on a house that uses 18 Mjolnirs as a foundation
@@memelover6917Or a motorcycle with swords
@@Indecisive4734 or visiting the statue of liberty and there's just golden hair flowing all over the place
@@lordboohoo Or a giant circle of decades old hot dogs rotting and roasting in the sun around the base of every tree in a public street.
I wonder how it goes in lego? Is it like this: Designer calls production and says "Hi I need two red katana pieces for my new design." And Production manager says something like this "Sure we will make batch of 20000 pieces I'm sure they will be used in something eventually."
The 76989 Horizon Forbidden West tallneck has a lot of interesting features for the build such as skateboard pieces for the four tails, the snow-mobile leg pieces as antenna on the back of the head, and large green rib pieces as tall grass on the base.
The lego Jazz Quartet uses a video game controller piece as the Bassist's bow tie, A golden gate door piece as the inside structure of the grand piano, and lego heart shaped studs as the hair ornament the pianist wears. Those were just the one's I found interesting, but the set also uses some season 5 Ninjago Ninja star pieces as the bottom of the stands that hold the drums.
4:49 the faint "bump" in the background audio scared me. I thought someone was in my house. LOL
Continuing the sausage love, the anchor for the massive LEGO titanic uses black sausages, and I love that. It also has a plate slotted between two studs, which feels illegal >.
The droideka set uses three backwards red lipstick pieces for the eyes, the lion knights castle uses a brown frog below the loo and its village expansion set has a bird's nest that's actually a beard piece, the Deku tree set uses brown pirate hats as the eyes. Those are some of the genius piece uses I can think of.
100% agree. Hidden Side was massively underrated.
you may have covered this already, but in the friends botanical garden set, the plants in the back use an amazing assortment of minifig accessories, like saxophones and shoulder guards!
The fur coat was also used as a bird nest in the Lego 90th anniversary Lion Knight's castle.
Those fish missles could be used as light saber handles and then they'd be even more powerful.
In the Lego city 2023 admin calendar set on day 22. It makes you bit a sleigh and for the “legs with a slay” it uses two sword pieces
The most smartest Lego Technic I saw was putting two bricks together its crazy
9:12 I think the globe is also in the Galileo GWP that Lego gave out in 2023
In some new speed champion sets theres a spoon as a review mirror! Hope u can notice some!
Hello, i like your video. I spotted 5 bucket handles, a ski and two spoons in Lego 76919. Continue that content. 👍
The fiat 500 blue lego set (77942), in step 76, says to put on two 1×1 round studs. However, it only says where to put one of them (on a technic pin on a stick). (The other stud in the next step -77- appears in its place behind the sticks between the seats. This stud only appears in this step then disappears for the next few steps until it's covered up.)
In the next step the stud thats supposed to go on the technic pin doesn't appear there, and the mistake is only fixed by step 158. (The stud does appear by steps 78 and 141, which are both the last steps of the bags (1&2). It appears and disappears multiple times). In the yellow fiat 500 (10271) you can see what is supposed to happen, the mistake is only by the blue fiat 500.
Two mistakes in the same step.
The interesting part is that lego just used the same things for the set and just changed the color. But they added a mistake too...
The set number for the blue fiat is 77942, the set number for the yellow fiat is 10271.
I tried sending this to your email, it didn't work
When you brought up the penguin arctic roller, it reminded me of the Ninjago Legacy boulder blaster as it uses Revolvers for exhaust.
Have you considered looking at interesting part usage in MOCs too? I once used a 1x6 barrier plate as a train windscreen and have seen many a sausage used as a brake pipe.
The Yellow Submarine has some sausages used at the top, which is pretty cool!
In the lego set "Joker's trike chase" (76159), Batman's car uses a few 1x2 hinge brick top plates on the side of the car as a little detailing.
I hope this was helpful!
Finally a person agrees with me about hidden side being underated
3:58 funny, I’m literally building this set as I’m watching this video
I really enjoy your videos
The home alone house set has a super cool part usage on the van! The mirrors of the van are held up by 2 gray recolored gun pieces!
Spitbrix at 3:50 gorilla grod doesn't have any printing on his head.
Holllyyyy you just unlocked so many childhood memories with the mixels
There are some great parts in the insect collection set. The mantis uses green pistol pieces for the legs and the bee is made using an egg piece.
And the bonsai tree set has 101 pink frogs as the cherry blossom leaves haha
in The Insect Collection, there are several neat uses of parts, Under the hercules beetle's wood, there are two white croissant peices used as grubs, and the use of bucket handles as feet is neat too. The Praying mantis's feet are sand green revolvers and the antennae are golden crowbars but my favorite part use in the set is the mantis' forelegs as the serrated sword in solid lime green, which up till then only came in transparent marbled colors to represent fire or ghosts
The Beatles' Yellow Submarine set uses funny sausages as well lol
On the back of the 2010 AT AT there was revolvers to add detail and also a hammer on the side of the head to hold stuff together. Please Spitbtix, put this in your next one.
6:35 These whips are also used in a set (red) called the Lego friends barn set.
The Lego friends set always have creative building techniques
@@Child_Gobbler fr, I got on of the sets for animation purposes because of the mechanics (it had a kitchen aid mixer)
the fender guitar set uses lipstick pieces many times for attaching cables. It also uses some angled plates as guitar picks and pneumatic cables as the power cords.
The Lamborghini countach speed champions set has a microphone as the manual shift stick
1:25 the side mirrors are the old Lego agents guns
In the Lego tiny plants set,there are multiple genius techniques
1 the false shamrock has purple butterflies
2 the jade plant has dark green hats
3 the red sundew has red hairbrushes
4 the yellow pitcher plant has green mop tops and red battle droid or skeleton arms
5 the pincushion cactus has flowers of top of it
The Fender guitar set that recently came out has lipstick parts to connect the wires to and from the amp and I had a lot of fun building that set with my dad!
I remember in set 6720, Lego user an upside down upper crocodile jaw as a tongue for a T-rex
The Roses Bouquet lego set also uses whips for the top of the roses… I was assembling it yesterday for Valentines Day with my gf!
Another mention you could do for the sausage pieces is how they are used in The Beatles Yellow Submarine set where they are used as railing near the periscopes at the top of the build
This guy is so cool to find all these.
these videos are so extremely well made, everything flows and quirky jokes
The cabin is too worthy XD
God, I miss Mixels.
I hope something like them comes out again, probably in boxes like Stuntz are getting?
The Pyramid of Giza has a really interesting staircase build, next to the river.
I haven’t watched your vids in so long and I’m glad I looked your channel back up, I do wish u made a mixture of Ninjago and general Lego content tho not just Lego in general
Welcome back! I think you'll enjoy my recent videos. Although they're not solely Ninjago, I always make an effort to include Ninjago whenever possible.
The Ideas Caterham uses lipstick pieces to connect the exhaust.
The speed champions James bond Aston Martin DB5 also uses a gun as exhaust. You can give the mini figure the spare one in the hand ;)
I want Brick heads. Their or there so really cute! 🥺🥺🥺💖💖💖
4:45That’s the latest set that I got, I got it from my school that was giving away donated toys and clothing, I even made a video using my iPad about that same exact paint roller being used as a mirror part😊
I had it too :D
The recently released Lego Tiny Plants set has really cool part uses - hair brushes, epaulets, berets, butterflies, a crown piece, and helmet pieces
BOTAFOGO 🔥🇧🇷
The LEGO Groot set has a couple really good building technique.
My personal favorite is the snowshoes to make the blades of the fan in the pool hall for the detectives office modular
Check out the Lego Ghost adventures sets. They were really unique with glowy pieces and battery operated lights, as well as a car with a mounted gun that pulls out the side
6:40 It was actually in Ninjago City Markets rather than Gardens.
I knew that Ferrari set used the stud shooters for exhausts, but I was quite surprised, upon building it, to discover that they included triggers in them.
That Grodd big figure you showed didn't have any print on it 😂
They reused the printed minifigure head for a globe in the Galileo gift with purchase, but it's inaccurate, because Australia wasn't on any European maps or globes of the time! 😊
That piece was also used in one of those Disney storybook sets.
Can we appreciate the work that spit Tox puts into his videos? I always enjoy watching and a new upload from the ‘iq’ saga really does make my day. I hope you live long and prosper spitbrix, we all do ❤.
He’s truly has come a long way. I found his vids when his voice was still squeaky and the contrast between then and now is honestly Amazing!
@@heavensangel7962 have to agree, he seems more mature and has always been so enthusiastic and entertaining.
Santa's visit one I love only because it's kinda genius as no others would be fitting
Fun Fact!: Lego set 10321 (the 1961 Chevrolet Corvette) uses Banana pieces and light saber handles for the bumpers! And uses Gray Hot Dog pieces (or Glizzys) for the sides of the grill!
Ecto 1 used mini fig roller skates in it's grill.
Speaking of sausages.
In Jurassic World set "Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate" LEGO used a black sausage for the lamp
These videos keep on getting better 👍
Hey Spitbrix! I recently realized a lego piece from lego set 21313 in Lego Ideas. The globes on the bottom are actually two pieces clipped together with a head in the middle on both sides in the front.
Also hidden in the A-Frame Cabin is the use of a musket handgun as the water faucet in the sink!
The 007 Aston Martin DB5 Lego speed champions set also has a gun as an exhaust pipe!
Hello! The NASA Space Shuttle Discovery Lego Set also uses a whip in the back part of the Hubble Telescope and a steering wheel as well. There are also gold candles in the set as the fold solar panels of the telescope.
Whip pieces are also used in the BD-1 model set. 4 of them make up electrical wires on his legs.
2:25 funny thing is, the set that introduced the part they'd use for future bird nests, had a birds nest in the set, but didn't use that piece, if you look at the top of the bridge, surprised they didn't use it then
Funny enough those Paint Roller elements are also used in the Lego Sonic Shadow's Escape set as the chopper's handlebars
Speaking of the A Frame Cabin: another hidden object is the frog they place underneath the staircase. I love the lego frogs and I regret absent mindingly placing that frog down there. Free my boy!
Put a transparent orange in the stud shooter on the back 4:00
Thinking of getting that statue of Liberty head for the sweet wig lol
the new Shadow’s Escape set for the Sonic line uses paint roller pieces for his bike’s handles, which i thought was really cool!
The paint roller piece is used multiple times in the daily bugle set for lights coming out of the backside of the building
1:07 the car says USSR on the side (in russian, CCCP) and looks like an open topped BRDM-2 scout car, interesting.
I noticed that too!
