@@chupappi626 The dude's been doing BrickLink for years. I'm sure the money he makes from that is more than enough to make up for the cost of the store/stock. BrickLink profits are infinitely looping. Buy LEGO, sell it, buy more LEGO with the money you made, and so on. I'm sure every single set in that store was paid for with BrickLink money or money made selling sets in his store.
@@chupappi626 Or he had a job as a teenager? It really doesn't take that much money to start up a BrickLink store. You can start a BrickLink store while working in the Burger King drive thru or at any similar job that you'd work as a teen. I don't know why you're acting like it takes some insane amount of money to get something like this up and running. You can spend less than $1,000 (or even less than that if you get really good sales; some people can just spend a couple hundreds dollars) to get a BrickLink store up and running, which can be made in just a few weeks at pretty much any job. And after the initial investment, the LEGO pays for itself and you no longer need to spend any of your own money on it. The fact that you think someone would need financial help when starting a BrickLink store kinda tells me you don't really know anything about starting a BrickLink store.
I enjoyed this style of video quite a bit. You do a good job at a "documentary" style Q/A/random visitor style approach. Would you possibly take this the next step and maybe do seasonal "Lego Travels" videos to meet fans/collectors to have them show off their collections to you/give you a tour of their store/space?
So far one of my favorite videos from you Ryan! Been watching for a while now, and this is top tier content. Up there with the Designer Interview. Great Job!
My wife’s side of the family lives in the Chicago area, so next time we visit I may have to take a trip over to Wisconsin just to see this place! Small businesses like this are the backbone of the collecting community
"Welt, seid mir gegrüßt. Ich bin der Held der Steine, in Frankfurt am Main, im Herzen von Europa, in meinem wunderbaren kleinen Lädchen, an einem fantastischen Tag, und schaut mal, was ich euch mitgebracht habe."
I've seen a smaller LEGO store than this (and it was official). It is in the mall next to a hotel in Taipei (hotel is called Humble House) and it's literally part of the H&M inside of it
Arent those hanging 2 pins that only hold up the boxes make indentations ? Some lego boxes can be quite hefty for their boxes structure and those 2 rods are scaring me.
@@jackmacdonald714 tell that too the people he's selling the cardboard too. They'll be the ones who are concerned with something like that so its in his best interest to take care of them
„Held der Steine“ begs to differ. His Lego store is so small, the customers can’t enter it and he is selling stuff from the door, but is primarily doing TH-cam now. His store is in Frankfurt, Germany.
I love Legos and building blocks in general. 44 years old and been playing since I was a kid. I'm not sure how people pay thousands for just a box when u can get the instructions for free and order each piece from Lego for the original price pretty much. I guess maybe that's collectors only but I hope people realize u can build any set from any era. Also there are other brands and I would never throw out parts. I just built the FunWhole Saloon which came with the lighting and directions were integrated into the steps. Better than any Lego building I've build detail wise, quality and directions. Halfway through the Mould King Islet Bar and same. Would never know. Built the Lego Loop Coaster a few weeks ago too. Basically can enjoy all kinds of sets and hopefully the crazy prices with Lego flatten out some cause those prices were out of this world!
"I'm Rick James Bricks" had a shop in Traralgon (Victoria, Australia) until a few years ago which was even smaller than this place. I'd share photos with you but it doesn't exist anymore. He had to close it down due to extended health issues he had at the time.
@@countrabricksbuildcraze8916 The one in Seymour Arcade was pathetically tiny. His health has now improved and has since opened a warehouse somewhere in the SE suburbs of Melbourne but yeah... early 2010's in Traralgon, that place was tiny.
While they are off-brand, some pieces are extremely useful. For example, I have a 2x2 dark grey plate with studs on the top AND bottom that could come in handy sometime.
Not going to lie but if this was my local Lego store I'd be going there all the time I like how he made it and got all those sets there by himself and it goes to show he wants to grow as a business stand point I think the small look adds to the perspective that you won't find those for those prices anywhere else (kinda) but yea I like the review hopefully you make another review once he opens his new store
ask m and r: do you think that they will bring back any retired lego sets to buy again or will they just re make them like they have done before? also love the vids :)
Dude ... I remember when I was a small child looking up to the top shelf of chuck-e-cheese's prize shelf and seeing the Lego PoTC black pearl set and now, more than ever have I regretted not getting a set... IDC how many tickets... 17 years ago. It will forever haunt me
For the smallest lego store, you should go into Frankfurt in Germany, it's lovely and the youtube channel of the owner "Held der Steine" is fairly popular in germany.
interesting video Ryan, fun that you try to make it entertaining, not that other videos are not, but you get the point, he seems like a really cool guy :-)
I had that exact experience when I was trying to sell an older set at a small store like that one, except they didn’t confuse me for a TH-camr, they confused me for an idiot.
The really smallest Lego store is in Frankfurt, Germany. The owner of the store is also a TH-camr and has the largest German Lego channel. Maybe you can stop by there!?
Does size matter?
depends on what your talking about 😏
its all about personality
Nah, only technic is important
I'm bricked up (lego bricks ofcourse)
@@Seanboi_12 no it doesn’t
I bet that lego store has amazing personality
Girls: What does that mean?

@@DanishWarThunderPlayer503 girls would know my guy

After all, it's not about the size, it's about the level of enjoyment you get from it...
@@wizard066yt but bigger = more enjoyment
I have been to this store in person and I can confirm it’s actually much bigger, it got shy. Definitely an average even above average size store.
I live in this town and this video definitely caught me off guard, never been to the store but I’ll definitely check it out. Gives me an excuse to go to candyman too
@@Batman-vs4qh same! their new location is awesome
"No, this is suppose to say $40.00"
"AH, Yes, well then I'd like to buy everything on this wall"
Exactly what I thought lmfao
that beginning skit was hollywood level acting for sure!
The world's smallest LEGO store is possibly in Frankfurt/M in Germany with only 4m² or 43 sq feet. Look out for "Held der Steine".
4 sqm was his estimate for the room between the shelves. The entire room is 9 sqm (and there appears to be at least one backroom).
Held der Steine on Top
Wapi is a W man!
Agreed

Great vid Ryan! Love seeing smaller businesses in their early stages.
Once dad and mom see the bill then they will probably close down 😫

seeing the old lego sets all together in one place is so cool

hella good idea
please do @mandrproductions and love how u video and set up ur videos documentary style like this
Thats a cool idea ngl
like that old show MTV Cribs... call its Lego Cribs. where you tour peoples houses with incredible Lego collections. LOL.
“I’ve never seen this in my life…”
“Really…it’s right there on your wall.”
This is a pretty large one compared to Held der Steine's Store located in Frankfurt. He is the most famouse Brick TH-camr in germany!!!
Yes
Damn. Why didn’t I ever think of visiting a Lego store in Frankfurt when I lived in Wiesbaden?
The owner of the store is the most charismatic Lego salesman I ever did see.

The smallest Lego store is in Frankfurt, Germany, with just 5-6m2. You should go there.
I went to the same high school as this guy. Its so weird to think that he’s able to do this full time.
he seems cool asl
what do you do

Is he cool?

The boxes are okay. Hes my local store
@@brewcitycapa4910 Praise the lego gods, but it still looks dangerous :p
Even if its safe i wouldnt be doing that, i would be too afraid of the boxes somehow falling or the rods giving in

Well Held der Steine Inh. Thomas Panke is a pretty small store
And also pretty famous
Awesome video, this really cheered me up, I’m going through a rough time right now , but these vids make me rise above the sadness
Hell nah, Held der Steine in Germany Frankfurt is smaller. His Store is 2x2 meters
This was a great video. Loved the beginning of it. Keep it up.

No. In my knowledge in Germany, in Frankfurt. There is a smaller store on a corner. TH-cam called: Held der Steine
Now I know why I can never find any insane finds on local marketplaces around west bend.
While they are off-brand, some pieces are extremely useful. For example, I have a 2x2 dark grey plate with studs on the top AND bottom that could come in handy sometime.
Thats Not the smallest store. The smallest Store is in Franfurt am Main
Im herzen von europa
"What is this???" The Borat reference is priceless, and perfectly timed. hahahahahaha Good stuff folks!!!
Bro I hope his security is good 🙄 “$26,000 sets in the front”
For a business that's not even that much capital. Cigar Lounges will run 200k+ and you saw everything was locked up
In Frankfurt ist ein kleinerer lego Laden ziemlich berühmt in Deutschland
That cheese slopes bit was spot on 👍🏼
11:45 That's genuinely a good Borat impression
Can’t get Ryan saying “wHAt iS tHiS?!?” out of my head
Very nice
9:47, that max rebo painting is so beautiful
We want the build instructions!!!

I know a smaller Lego store. It’s called bricks and wheels. It’s in kent, Washington, USA
That may have been a small store, but I found it interesting. I might try to visit that myself someday.
The smallest lego store is in Frankfurt (Germany) with a size of 2 by 2 m. Check out "Held der Steine"

My keen eye is good but do you onow what your looking for based on sound of the legis hitting each other???
Awesome video Ryan! You inspired me to go check out the store myself!
Web store suspended as of yesterday (10/20/22) for violating BrickLink's TOS. What???
That’s what I was wondering
Was this intro slightly inspired by Borat, or other mockumentary style films? I loved it
The Borat bit about cheese inspired the cheese sloped thing
You channelled your inner Sacha Baron Cohen, with the bit and the great intro. Very nice, great success.
I just visited Wapi Brick's new location and it is Awesome!
Held der Steine Store?
The smallest store is in Frankfurt am Main in Germany.
Love the Borat reference.
Amazing how small and so beautiful this is. Great
AskMandr: have you ever considered making stop motions great vids btw!
There is one store thats definetly smaller... its in Frankfurt Germany.

This isn't the world's smallest Lego store, that would be in Frankfurt, Germany.
Getting back into Lego after not buying a set for about 10 years, and oh boy do I feel the pain of sorting Mega Blocks out of my bins.

Aye I love this guy I’ve been following him for a while for now!!!
Size doesn't matter😤
Hey mandr we’re can I get REAL Lego Star Wars clone troopers for a decent price. THX love ur vids
I think it's average. Actually, its quite large imo.
