@@OliviaPaquette-ct1ruyeah they should be at least a second longer I never pause them in time or the app thinks I’m skipping ahead by 10s if I do it too quickly

[@adelinerose5]

Omg I was just going to say this

[@Left_Joy-Con]

Here's the field notes written out: ● There are 4,608 frames of stop-motion in this video ●I now have all but the three oldest modulars - unfortunately they now cost £7-8k between them, so these 16 will probably be it for me, I can't complain ●To film the "Lego-magically-building-itself" shots, I have to first build the set off-camera, then take it apart a few bricks at a time and reverse the footage. So any sets that have been filmed in this way...are now destroyed, and being used for pieces ● I originally filmed Singapore to be part of the Lego travel series, but there wasn't enough footage so it seemed like the perfect ending to this instead ● Maisie still hasn't met Ralph and Bella - we're taking our time to ensure they're introduced responsibly. Don't worry, there'll be a video ● Who wants another Half-Asleep Chris video in 4 days?!

[@peterjackoville4272]

Question: why does Chris have to build the sets first and then take them apart brick by brick? Why can't he just build the set brick by brick? Because it'll take a lot longer?

[@brianmacdonald7297]

If you like detailed interiors, you're not missing anything by skipping the first three Modulars. Cafe Corner and Market Street have no interiors at all. The Greengrocer has a nice first floor, but the rest is mostly empty. There's a clever grandfather clock, radiator, and barbecue, but they're in big empty spaces.

[@TheBrickBods]

We're often told we build a lot of Lego, but building 100 buildings means you've probably leap frogged us now! How long did you take to build all 100?

[@HalfAsleepChris]

Haha, it was all built slowly over 2-3 months. I'm very lucky in that if I find I'm procrastinating a lot by building loads of LEGO, I can make that into a video, and the procrastination becomes productive

[@TheBrickBods]

@@HalfAsleepChris ah well 2-3 months is a perfectly acceptable time frame. Glad you're not having to speed build through some of these epic sets and you actually get to enjoy them!

I don't think he finished the travel journey series, he posted the road tour just as he was on the brink of lockdown in turn, Lego videos came so there were (i think) 6 videos still to put in the series.

[@thebfiaid957]

Glad you enjoying being in Singapore Chris! As a Singaporean, its nice to see you build our landmarks. Also fun fact, when it was SG50 (2015), many primary school kids (me included) got the last set for free and we were told strictly that we were not allowed to sell it if my memory serves me right. The cavenagh bridge was one of my favourits to build

Chris, you are a master at pacing. The stop motion builds and Scrabble text are quite engaging, and of course the overall video and sound editing is brilliant. I hope you were more than half asleep after all of the post production work, you earned at least that much!

I love how you show appreciation for every set, even if its from a franchise you arent familiar with. Also, for the first time ever, i can say "hey! I have that set!" The Sanctum Sanctorum is wonderfully detailed, and yes, does indeed include a ton of easter eggs to the Doctor Strange franchise!

I think this one is helping me understand my sons better... every day I wonder how the legos end up exploded all over the place (kids my age didn't do this--we built in a neat pile like good little children)... perhaps my boys just built a tower too high and had to knock it over by throwing other legos at it! That makes more sense than anything I've imagined thus far 😅

Chris! I remember the first time you and Danielle (I hope I wrote it correctly) visited Singapore and were careful with finances. But look at you now, booking one of the best rooms in my opinion and enjoying Singapore knowing you came back as a result of hard work. Prompts to you man, cheers!

[@junthebiscuit]

Wow I just got hit with a wave of nostalgia for the SG50 mini lego sets, in primary school we each got a set and i distinctly remember taking it apart and rebuilding the different configurations. Damn getting Lego for free during a school day was pretty metal.

Chris puts so much energy into these videos, it’s amazing!

[@Freakyboss]

Hi Chris! Thank you so much for posting this video! All the effort you put in just to make us viewers happy is truly amazing. In the meantime I watched some of your old videos over and over again and I can't say I'm getting tired of this. 😄 I have some of the buildings you showed myself. Especially the office set, which I also think is particularly great. Lots of greetings and happy Christmas. Freakfactory

The lgihthouse actually looks amazing, along with the A frame house they could make a nice forest-coast resort.

[@joermnyc]

I love Lego architecture, but the last few sets were too expensive, or too big for the space I have. I did endeavor to copy someone’s attempt at a Lego Space Needle, it’s not perfect, and it took me a while to figure out some bricks I’d never seen before (turns out they are Ninjago weapon holders, basically 3 sided plates with three sideways studs on the corners. It’s how the narrowest part of the “legs” are built.) I do wish they had the alternate/original colors for the top as the original paint job was very colorful (for the anniversary year I was visiting they repainted the “Astronaut Orange” on the roof.)

[@Ace-Of-Spades-And-Clubs]

6:46 some of the Lego flower sets have plant-based plastics for the Legos themselves, if you’re interested. Even if it’s not your style, I encourage you to buy them vote with your wallet.

[@Aviertje]

That's a great way to expense your holiday as a work expense. (That's what you did, right?) Good job! On a side note: there are tons of manuals that have been digitized, so if you only care about building/displaying those three old modular sets versus having the boxes, you can most likely just order all the loose components using the manifest in those booklets, and build them that way. Usually it won't be a cheap solution, but given how much these sets cost, it is probably a steal. The only issue would be rare or outright set-specific pieces, since those would probably be immensely expensive in their own right.

[@pohkuangda6662]

Fun fact the 3 in 1 Lego set that you built at the end was given to schoolchildren to commemorate the nation turning 50! I remember receiving one as a freebie in school back then :)

[@kylewordpress398]

Nice video as always. How many brown pieces / dark reds broke on you, especially for the older modulars? I'm surprised you got the Town Hall for a somewhat reasonable price to include it in the video (as well as the others).

No browns, but a fair few dark reds, all 1x1 square tiles on the fire station, it was very frustrating!
