Great episode. Visitors always welcome. Great to hear different perspectives

[@SKYeung-ts3vk]

Really glad to see more and more people slowly starting to give other brand of brick a chance

[@duplotraci]

I truly apreciate the community that this podcast and the afool podcast has brought together. It is a fun, safe, and engaging space where people get the experience of the lego collecting and building journey. Also where we can not take ourselves too seriously

[@MayoHosko]

Dennis and I both grew up in states with Cornish mining heritage so pasties are big in my state too. Eastern California mining towns have the same heritage. 30:26 it’s a real thing. Coca Cola. I have to get creative with space a lot in my city

[@BatteryPoweredBricks]

Made it to the end as always, well worth it for the sponsor segment! 😅 I always cringe a bit when people call me smart. I've been told I was my whole life but I always felt more like John Hammond. Standing on the shoulders of geniuses and taking the next step. Thanks for the kind words either way. To me the electronics are easy but I envy what others can do artistically with Lego, that's where I struggle

[@alexnunes]

Shelves are awesome!

[@dl_bricks]

One will be used as a non-Lego shelf city for my Funwhole and Pantasy sets.

[@tynovel]

I like watching @dl_bricks go from "I'm not doing that" to repeatedly saying SPAAAACE! in the podcast. Now that's evolution and growth!

[@OrSomeBricks]

Great show. Great to see the UP is keeping the Pasty tradition alive.

[@judy3973]

2:04:41 I’m still watching. And about old photos. I have spent a lot of time in the past week going through old family photos for a memorial service, it was so fun seeing pictures from when my sisters and I were growing up. And to hear today’s little ones in awe that we didn’t have cell phones and asking why did you have neighborhood parades of kids on bikes or in wagons or on scooters without motors?

[@BrickTsar]

As one of the two people that witnessed the unrecorded episode I must say this turned out much better.

[@BricksOnAnIsland]

It is a pitty that we - the other guys - will never know.

[@jasonsbricksin5]

@BricksOnAnIsland I know

[@BricksOnAnIsland]

👍 🤣

[@tynovel]

Awesome job @dl_bricks for being the guest host. I find myself agreeing with a lot of the things you say in this episode. And I agree adults are not ruining Lego

[@dl_bricks]

Thx!

[@tynovel]

I laughed so much at the today's sponsors! Good job AFoOLs! And yay paddles and food segments! Edit: I hope Alex watches it as well.

[@pastajensen]

2:04:00 Yes we are still watching and I liked it! The "Not Alex or BrickTsar" guy did great.

[@Mardigrasman23]

Even the viewers are sending in ghostbusters firehouse flexing. What is going on here

[@BricksOnAnIsland]

I WANTED Alex to be in Billund with the other social media people because that would have made a trip to Denmark MEANIGFUL to me. Yes, flight tickets to Utah are still expensive, Petrol for a drive to Billund is much cheaper. Concerning Alex's medieval world: I like that it is not as dense as the "normal"/"modern" city. // I tried to MILS-plate my wife's Dectective's Ofiice/Barber Shop after it was finished - wow, that was tricky!

[@JimboBricks]

There is soooooo much Star Wars. It’s pretty crazy trying to buy EVERY set each year

[@mgmg3000.]

@dl-bricks smoothly stepping in with an epic reference to emergency backup goalies and then he performs as strongly as Torontonian Zamboni driver David Ayres back in 2020 when he had to do goalie duty for North Carolina and helped them beat home team, the Toronto Maple Leafs. I think the entire arena was on Ayres side that day. Great job, Dennis!

[@dl_bricks]

That was a great thing! And the fact that it happened against the Leafs was the icing on the cake.

[@mgmg3000.]

@@dl_bricks lol, I gotta few buddies who might disagree with you on that😅

[@jaspersalazar-trillana8208]

still here.. i sometimes listen to Bricking News like a podcast while building LEGO sets.. ☺️☺️☺️

[@joe-bowling]

Regarding the modular releasing on December 1, I never knew why LEGO released anything on January 1. I would look for sets to get my kids for Christmas and see a bunch I thought they would like but not releasing until January 1 when the holidays are over.

[@dl_bricks]

Epic sponsorship video! It was worth cringing through two hours of me umm-ing and pausing as I tried to be clever; podcast hosting is harder than it looks.

[@joe-bowling]

@dl_bricks I didn't notice anything wrong about your speaking, but we're all our own worst critics, right? I enjoyed hearing your thoughts and perspectives and in many cases it sounded like I was hearing myself. (Like the Pantasy Sherlock Holmes set where you said the bricks felt like they had to be pressed together a bit harder; I noticed that too and I had the most trouble getting the paint roller pieces into the hollow studs for the lights over the fireplace.) I enjoy seeing scenes from your city and who knows, maybe I'll bump into you at a Brickworld someday. And yes, the AFOOL sponsor video was tremendous!

[@duplotraci]

I appreciated your insights and opinions. It's good to hear other afols experiences.

[@BatteryPoweredBricks]

I enjoyed it! and not just because you called me sharp 😅. I still feel like there are too many ummms and pauses in my videos and I cut out the majority of them 😬

[@dl_bricks]

@@BatteryPoweredBricks So you’re saying I need a better editor??? @jasonsbricksin5

[@Mardigrasman23]

Great guest spot. Very enjoyable

[@joe-bowling]

Hey, great to see fellow Hoosier AFOL @dl_bricks again! I was still in a dark age when the Monster Fighters theme retired and the Haunted House set is my white whale. My next Community Commentary will probably be Star Trek themed as I've acquired a few new sets since Brickworld.

[@dl_bricks]

#HoosierStrong!

[@tynovel]

My modulars are not on MILS plate and I do bring them for display once in a while. They aren't that difficult to move. I'd rather spend the money on more sets than on mils plates that nobody will see at the end of the day.

[@chrisginart5156]

Had to comment on this as I've only caught up in the past week on the 'recent' podcasts. But how have you not heard the original novelty song of 'Istanbul' by The Four Lads in the '50s? I had actually heard the They Might Be Giants version first, but eventually heard the original version and have preferred it ever since.

[@lucapietrangeli270]

I wouldlove more original lego themes. I want another cool action theme beyond ninjago. Gimme alpha team redux lol. Even if it were an ideas set id be all over it

[@TheOtherGuys2]

I might buy most of my Lego second-hand, but I will still buy multiple copies of a set. Often I'll get one to have the set itself, and another to have my custom modification of the set. Some things it's just cool to have two of though, like that new interstellar spaceship. Or Oswald. Or a tipper truck.

[@jaspersalazar-trillana8208]

YOU KNOW! #TheLawOfOmerta 😉😉😉 PS Dennis kinda remind me of Dr. Strange.. and i mean that as a compliment.. 😊😊😊

[@afolchamp]

I assumed that not allowing zoos or stuff like that in the bricklink designer program was because it’d be super expensive to source 1000s of animals, especially if they’re from retired sets. Imagine trying to buy 30,000 goats a year ago and what that would have done to the price both of the set they were trying to sell but also the aftermarket price of the animal element

[@sg-brick]

Starting to watch small bit today (rest in 1 or 2 days) and may I say, I am really surprised you and the extra "goaly" got an episode out of 128 minutes... did you think I will record 2 episodes in one now I actually am recording ?😅 I made it until the end, I liked the episode and the sponsor. Grtz, SG from Belgium 🇧🇪

[@chefeddie6164]

No Alex, No Bricktsar, he was saved by Dennis, but next week it really will just be Jason interviewing his large Oswald. Just be careful Jason, the last time Oswald almost got you demonetized. You can't talk like that on KZbin.

[@bricks_in_space]

inept video recorder. Oh man that is rough that you had to go through it three times. Props to @dl_bricks for stepping in, in a pinch. Great episode guys. How much did you pay the AFOOL guys for that sponsorship?

[@MartyBricks]

Funwhole and other companies have been forced to change some molds because of Lego copyrights. That's why some of their pieces look a little weird.

[@tynovel]

Oh, next year maybe you guys can do Old guy, new lego purchase! Comment on what Jaabo has purchase each week and whether they are useful, or not, whether it's part of your theme, or not (e.g. Fabuland)

[@johnnyg2501]

Where's Mindy? That's the special guest we wanted

[@TonyMontanaDS]

Only watching now. So behind on these videos.

[@Mardigrasman23]

Why do you insist on mentioning the firehouse on every episode.

[@jasonsbricksin5]

It was really Dennis’ only stipulation to be on the podcast.

[@dl_bricks]

@@jasonsbricksin5💪

[@Mardigrasman23]

If adults don’t like it. It because that’s not made for adults. And adults are mad because the stuff adults want don’t hit clearance. If adults didn’t spend all their money on LEGO. Sales would decline and they would make less and adults would complain cause all they are for making ate all these crappy sets for kids. Sometimes you can’t win and some people aren’t happy unless they have something to complain about. Man I miss Alex rant so I’m trying to fill in. And by the way. LEGO don’t care about the resale market. They welcome all speculators. Keep buying we keep making

[@BrittneyAMcCubbin]

The Lego bubble will eventually burst and those who bought into it as an investment will eventually get hit hard depending on how big they went in. That’s just my opinion though.

[@OmniRelyt]

First

[@TheOtherGuys2]

"Adult fans are ruining Lego." I agree in some ways and disagree in others. I think adult fans, or maybe more accurately adult buyers, are making a mess of the secondary market, which annoys me to no end. One person buys a Boba Fett minifig for $3000, and suddenly no seller will accept any less. And the primary market is kinda getting messed up too. I mean, I'm pretty sure Lego's price increases have outpaced inflation at least in some cases. When you can get Star Wars sets that have 130 pieces for $50 (US) that are clearly aimed at kids.. well it's not kids buying that, it's the adults. And it costs that much because adults will pay that much.

[@MayoHosko]

That sponsorship proves why I don’t like the food segment
