An EXHAUSTIVE History of Lego Pumpkins

[@samusfan117]

I am so pleased this channel exists

[@TheEarnest]

i like your username, i love samus too

[@samusfan117]

@TheEarnest ay, good on ya. Glad we're meeting on a video about another orange thing.

[@DeltaTrion]

Ah yes Bricklink, the world’s most complete Lego piece/set finder… any veteran of the site will know that that search bar means nothing…

[@legogenius22]

And that's a fact

[@WorstHour]

Honestly the names are too convoluted.

[@bobertbolero]

The thing I hate the most about the search is when you're in your wanted list or cart and wanna look something up but it doesn't work and you have to go back to home to search for it to work

[@NONAME-vk8un]

I have some lore on the 2011 pumpkin. In October 2011 saw in the paper that they were being given away at Walmart. When I went they were on a table in ziploc bags with either black and white or color instruction pages. There were also crusty Walmart sugar cookies in the shape of pumpkins with that orange sugar crystal stuff. I found the instructions on rebrickable a while back. Glad that someone took up the highly important task of documenting Lego Pumpkins

[@jamesmiller4054]

Why do you only have three videos, tf I was trying to binge watch your content but now I have no excuse not to get a goodnight sleep.

[@jampine8268]

He has a main gaming chanel

[@evankitch269]

You and r.r slugger sustain my desire for niche and nostalgic lego content

[@weebcraft6829]

What about BigYellow's tangents about random specific lego bricks/colors

[@Abominog64]

6:13 HOMESTAR?

[@masahige2344]

I bow before your sacred knowledge of plastic gourds, Oboebot

[@cartoonguygaming9521]

I was ready to mention the monthly mini build pumpkin in case it slipped under the radar. Remember it was my first one of those free builds. Excellent research

[@cherubug]

gun joke made me laugh out loud, thank you so much for not waiting until next year to put this out at an appropriate time for SEO

[@spamhands6993]

I have to disagree that witches or santa would've been more interesting, as this is hilarious seeing how many LEGO pumpkins there are.

[@spacemanspud7073]

Yeah, everyone expects and probably knows there's been alot witches. I had no clue that they made this many pumpkins!

[@Maniac4Bricks]

The rapid-fire pumpkin head was an editing masterpiece. Brilliant video idea. 🎃

[@fifoffjfufs]

this is a fun format. I'd like to see more 'history of ____' videos.

[@Sileff]

It's the Oboe Nightmare Before Christmas!

[@DeerBonesBaby]

When the world needed him most, he returned

[@TheRadWarrior]

5:08 the pumpkin’s design is a reference to *Batman the long Halloween*

[@bobertbolero]

That 2000 3d pumpkin is so iconic!!! I also remember seeing that in the catalogs, I gotta get one now too

[@eirikmacdonald3793]

The internet needed this

[@ShyGuyXXL]

Great to hear you're already working on the "EXHAUSTIVE History of Lego Santas" video. 🙂 Can't wait to watch it in time for Christmas!

[@RoachDoggJr2112]

Oh yeah Oboe I am really liking the trajectory of this channel. I can see this channel growing into something great. Really reminds me of RR Slugger personally.

[@JacobYaw]

This is incredible. This channel is a gift.

[@classy_jack]

I'm a huge halloween and lego guy, this video speaks to my soul. Awesome work 🎃

[@DutchThriceman]

Guys, man's definitely doing Santa right? RIGHT?! Edit* no but for real a Lego Witches video would be great.

[@godwincz]

5:09 the fact that the pumpkin's mouth is basically a batman logo makes this pumpkin so cool

[@SandsGC]

The Realization That The LEGO Catalogs We Rely On Is Incomplete Will Always Be A Devastating Discovery

[@Galva101]

I love the editing, top notch VFX right here!

[@pajamapantsjack5874]

This is the greatest lego video I’ve ever seen

[@mileskosik472]

The 2000s 3d pumpkin set was a part of my childhood. Me and my sister both got the polybag, and later on when she stopped playing with legos I would build the combination set.

[@CooperativeCowboy25]

I can always count on oboe to give me the info I crave!

[@meyerpictures]

This is a very good video! It's amazing to think that a color like orange didn't exist until 1998. Honestly, I can't help but feel bad for designers and fans from long ago, justifiably frustrated that it somehow took that long.

[@spacemanspud7073]

You are now officially my favorite LEGO channel. Very funny and while it isnt animated, you still get enough keyframes in to keep it expressive. Suprb job with these vids

[@counterset9039]

thanks for making my night better oboebot

[@MatecaCorp]

Omg that 2000’s pumpkin is pure nostalgia for me! After that I think that the ultimate LEGO pumpkin is the gigantic one at Brick-or-Treat lol

[@drawnkitten]

Okay i admit the wait was worth it

[@CinderTheJester]

i dont think i actually need this information in my life, but i am sure glad i have this information now

[@ColinHuth]

"Oboe shoes? Wonder if that's a reference to Strong Bad writing it on a calculator-" *6:12** happens* "...aaand the odds just went up dramatically."

[@andrewhoffman1087]

Man, I don't normally comment to say how much I love a channel, but this one deserves it! This was the exact kind of video I didn't know I wanted, but I am so glad it exists now. Can't wait for the next one!

[@kacperpoznanski3482]

Rifle scene killed me. God bless this channel

[@lucahermann3040]

Nooo, you forgot the very last one: the 2024 LEGO® Store buildable pumpkin. Currently there are a bunch of orange elements (and a green leaf piece) in the Pick-a-Brick wall which you're supposed to use to build a 2D pumpkin following the paper instructions they have at the store.

[@xjdail]

lady of pain CMF holding Premier was a great gag

[@elecmagpulse7385]

This definitely seems like the exact kind of thing I would randomly start researching on a whim. Good video.

[@jumby_thicc6848]

I actually had no idea that there were these many lego pumpkins.

[@SixPieceNoNuggets]

This video was so good it made me wish I could subscribe twice.

[@megatrom4116]

This year where I live a Lego Spider-Man magazines featured green goblin on a glider with what I’m fairly sure are pumpkin bombs although they are clear neon orange with fire coming out. Maybe it’s the same as the one from other green goblin builds but I thought it worth mentioning. Great video 10/10.

[@SaulGoodman_TV]

I needed this video

[@tefnutofhoney2832]

Well, it came out on the one day scarier than halloween. So it still works!

[@lonelypumpkins3543]

“Murray Utah Barnes & Noble” 🙏🏻

[@angusmcnay5449]

I think it's neat that the scarecrow pumpkin has a batman logo mouth

[@AshitakaYakul]

I got 2 copies of that Pumpkin build in a collection sometime last year (2023) and kept one. I really enjoy it. Simple little build.

[@DolezalPetr]

I love the TV minifig you made

[@dybcreations]

6:23 I thought Oboeshoes was a HR reference, and that confirmed it. Looks like I’m gonna have to subscribe!

[@justinh2150]

Honestly, great channel. Good pacing, good editing, good commentary and interesting topics.

[@AntBandit]

This was exactly the type of unnecessary information I needed downloaded into my head today 👏

[@Biglick_bricks]

Great video! I have that first Lego pumpkin bucket sealed and the bucket itself is so cool

[@AstraLee-Investigator_Sapling-]

I have notifications on only for this channel

[@theREALdingusMD]

Building is back!

[@matthewvogel7076]

So this is the first time I've seen any of your videos, and by the time Teevee exploded, I subscribed. Your exhaustive research is greatly appreciated, and your presentation is laugh out loud funny. Also, I found that owl and those two pumpkins separately in a bulk lot about a year ago, but I thought they wuz clementines, or oranges. I may have never known their true nature if it wasn't for this video. Thank you!

[@jonothanthrace1530]

So you're saying the day-glo translucent orange skis/chainsaws/whatever else from that snow-themed Space subset actually came out before regular orange pieces? Wild!

[@ronbeard]

Oboe I'm kind of happy you had issues with this video so it can be uploaded later and make this day just a tad bit brighter. thank you for this deep dive

[@cyberpandemonium]

aaaa!! scary witch jumpscare!!!

[@vaimantobe3034]

Great video. You're one of the few lego youtubers who are so knowledgeable about the obscure stuff that I never find anything I already know that you don't. Which is informative. ...btw, in the 'rapid fire' of pumpkins post 2004 you show the 2001 Hagrid's Hut which is from before then and has no pumpkins. Literally unwatchable XD

[@SpookyCowboy23]

You and R.R. Slugger got me feining for more Lego history

[@SideSalad]

13:50 Shout out to the Barnes & Noble I go to on occasion (for the Criterion Collection sales and the tote bags)

[@DoomsToys]

never stop making videos my god you’re a genius

[@AmySay]

i am honestly so fascinated with this… i did not know there were so many pumpkins in lego

[@Jax49]

every time the 2002 pumpkin shows up, it makes me laugh so much

[@jamesonrodriguez1977]

Pls keep this content up I can’t get enough

[@NooceneSounds]

HSR reference got me good! 🤣🤣 Thank you!!

[@andrewparker6579]

There's also an unofficial pumpkin build shown by designers as part of the special features of the lego scooby doo dvd

[@rcamo]

This was a great review. My faith in Bricklink is shook

[@randomperson2797]

11:33 aww, thank you

[@tcmcdonald]

This channel is very underrated

[@SenatorWaffles]

6:12 All right, all right. You got me. Have a sub.

[@TheSonOfRyan]

Please give us the lego santas lmao

[@masterpenguins]

5:09 OH HEY this is a reference to the batman halloween special comics from legends of the dark knight and long halloween

[@legogenius22]

Truly the Bricklink experience

[@mortanme7375]

This was fascinating thank you dear

[@nicklockk]

How is this only your third video????? You're so funny and it's so well edited (a little fast some times, it was annoying to constantly pause to read text or see the rapid-fire images)

[@menschmeier13]

This was a very interesting video. Thanks for the work. I would be interested in a video dedecated to Lego Witches.

[@ametrinefirebird7125]

Gotta watch this later, but I got that jack-o-lantern bucket with the new orange bricks. First set with orange bricks in them! (I had thought there was a dacta educational set that came out before it, but that was just a quirk of bricklink's catalog. The oldest version of that set couldn't have had orange in it, but a future one did.)

[@stockicide]

Funny and informative. Thanks for the video!

[@marioood]

ok the pilgrim thing was a good callback

[@reesgerhard5952]

I work at Barnes and Noble. They’re definitely leftovers

[@dangalfthedruid]

I liked, subbed, and commented, you must now make the Santa video. *Love* your dual-size sig fig by the way, and I'm glad to see a Galidor piece get some love.

[@olegcrysis1]

Oboe pls do Lego Santa for the next month 🎅🎄

[@d3lta_p]

Just in time for Halloween

[@vixenfox1910]

To add onto the list, a Minecraft pumpkin first appears in the 2014 set The Farm

[@Tom_Oliver_89]

6:12 homestar runner!!!

[@GeohToy]

I’m not shocked that those weren’t archived, yeah it’s interesting they weren’t but they were just missed I guess

[@jonothanthrace1530]

So this is how I learn about the D&D Lego figures

[@rennythespaceguy7285]

Pilgrim had it coming

[@e_z__r_a]

What if every orange brick is a pumpkin

[@Ringtail]

The 1993 Duplo set does not count, there are a couple of those types of sets that kept getting re-released as the same set for multiple years but got updated with different pieces without changing the set numbers. Bricklink does not differentiate these different releases for some reasons, leading to screwups like that. I noticed because it had some Duplo minifigure designs introduced in the mid-2000s showing as having first appeared long before was possible (maybe that exact set?). 1998 is the right answer for orange Lego and Bricklink has some major issues with how it catalogues things, which unfortunately the current owners don't care about going by that part merging scandal last year.

[@praporbarton3961]

Now you have to do a Santa episode, you can't tease your audience like this

[@milarose5155]

I beg of you please! More history of individual lego bricks please!!

[@PLC]

Good job, pumpkin!

[@isaacbear7115]

I am working on some home repairs right now but once that is done I need to know how much money i need to give you for you to make more videos for this channel.

[@McStebb]

i just liked and subbed for the Santa video and it is currently November 15th so you BETTER GET TO WORK BUD!!!

[@Finnl-qe5le]

I really like this channel

[@chuckschwa]

Lmfao at the witch burning pilgrim 😂

[@carmenm3538]

I've liked and subscribed strictly to make sure you don't make that santa video. Don't disappoint me
