Is It A Crime To Buy Off Brand Lego

Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it!

6126 pictures taken at 20 FPS. Created on an iPhone 11 ProMax using Stop Motion Studio Pro. Edited video with Adobe premiere pro.
I am trying to move away from animating at 20 FPS. My goal from the beginning was to work my way up to 24 FPS (The industry standard) but I got stuck at 20. I am going to start experimenting with animating with a mix of 24 and 12 FPS, which is a more professional way to animate.
I also really need to get better animation software. Stop Motion Studio Pro is a great app and has served me well, but it still has its problems. I have been thinking about getting Dragon Frame for sometime now. But I’ve been a little hesitant because of the $200 price tag.

I genuinely don't even care about the off brand LEGO ad, i'm just here for that lofty humor and BOY is it on point

Thanks for featuring us man, and talking through the whole “fake LEGO” thing out with everyone. 👍

[@ZachTheManiac01]

The power of a generic LEGO man and First Order Stromtrooper in a pink skirt is too much for just any jail cell… 💣💥 Great video Loft! 🙌

[@CosmicAggressor]

Nice. To be fair at least when I was a kid lego's biggest competiotor was mega block and at least at that point it really did just break apart when you blow on it. Most people seem to have that experience as their base line for off brand legos.

[@scramblestopmotion]

off brand lego is great value but off brand minifigures are mostly terrible. they can be good sometimes though

[@-LEGOMaster-]

The ChatGPT part made me laugh so hard omg🤣🤣🤣 I was dying. Also THIS WAS RELEASED ON MY BIRTHDAY ᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟ

[@PELOKETCHUP]

Awesome video, love the creative way you used to make this!! Thanks for having me tho!

[@diegoandres3722]

this dude is straight out the lego movie

[@nonstopanimations101]

Dude your stuff is way too interesting and entertaining 😂🍻 I don’t mind the fake LEGO for background stuff, it looks fine and it’s a good option for animators that don’t want to spend $400 for real LEGO modulars just for backgrounds ALSO 5:30 bro just casually animated the cleanest arm crossing ever and thought we wouldn’t notice

[@Dylbricks]

Honestly bro I’m going to have to steal that technique 🤣

[@AntaresVII]

This was beautifully made, straight art right down to skipping through your own ad read. I wish I had money to throw at you. Thanks for sharing!

[@GeigerBricks]

the final speech brought a tear to my eye

🥲

[@BenLAnimations]

Oh my god this was fantastic Loft!! You knock it out the park as always. That "BenLAnimations approved" killed me 🤣

[@ErikTongStudios]

ii love how you included so many lego animators in the court (including me :)))

[@ShaynixProductions]

This video has genuinely made me change my mind about fake Lego. It was so entertaining to watch!! 👍

[@AbsolutelyLego]

Not really on topic to the video but your facial animations are amazing.

[@OGMonkeyScout]

Honestly, I'm ok with fake LEGO bricks for stopmotion and only that. However, for building, It just ruins the authenticity of it. Absolutely amazing video as always!😄

[@fafa_faraz]

well, i agree ... someone like me should buy cheap and useful bricks for animating, and your stopmotion itself was a masterpiece!

[@plpa8250]

Finally, I've been saying the same thing about different brand bricks. To be fair to Lego, their IP really appeals to kids, my 7 year old son loves Ninjago, Monkie Kid, and Dreamzzz. But after buying FO and Pantasy sets and then turned on the LED lights for my city, he stopped playing with his Ninjago city and started playing on mine. We got the Newstand and the steampunk car next which he assembled and now, we just order Ninjago and MK minifigs and buy different brands for our buildings.

[@aaronjaeger6861]

What are they going to do, throw you in Lego jail? Everyone knows those cells are practically designed to be broken out of.

[@LittlePangy]

Your videos are some of my favorite on the internet right now! They're just always so engaging and humorous. keep it up!

[@brickhistory]

Well done- this is a really clever way of presenting the debate over fake lego. Your videos never fail to entertain (and make me wish I had more time to animate)!

[@Loft_Studios]

Thanks man! I wish you had more time to animate as well. Your stuff is awesome!!

[@ErikTongStudios]

LOL the chatgpt part is hilarious

[@YaloChief]

I completely agree with you on the topic. But thank you for saying MEGA isnt fake lego 😂 Alot of my friends say that

[@Loft_Studios]

Indeed, Mega is not really fake Lego. They are kind of doing their own thing. I will forever love Mega Constructs figures!

[@Danxiky08]

YES MEGA is awesome, it’s a whole other thing, their figures are micro action figures which is why I switched to them from Lego. Bruh not your friends calling Mega fake Lego…

[@SnakierElm62]

Oh, my fellow mega animators, hello!

[@charlesthomas5956]

​@Danxiky08 Are you blind? He said "Thank you for not saying MEGA ISN'T fake Lego", not "Thank you for not saying MEGA IS fake lego".

[@YaloChief]

@@charlesthomas5956 oops mb. He did interpret what I meant properly. Lego kinda sucks ngl

[@BrickStopmotions]

I have some off-brand Lego; not much, but I do try to keep it separate from the real Lego. I have been eyeing off-brand more though, due to licenses Lego doesn't have, such as Star Trek and Stargate, and military stuff. Love the part with your dog!

[@DamianGalewski]

I don't have anything else to say about off brand LEGOs, I mean they do have some good minifigures like the characters from any Anime like Goku and Saber. and to be fair, those minifigures are perfect. I remember buying some Minifigures like the Street Fighters ones and The King of Fighters ones, and those aren't official bricks. problem is, I couldn't find any pieces anywhere. oh, I also forgot that I like how you added the talented animator by the name of Edbound. His animations were astonished with all the effort that has put into them. anyway, great work.

[@jajproductionsfruitcakefil8489]

I went through a die-hard LEGO purist phase when I was younger. If the right logo weren't on the stud, then it weren't in my tub. End of. (Except when relatives bought it for me as a present, but I still tried to keep it separate.) LEGO were the poor, poor monopoly company that evil, despicable smaller brands were soullessly stealing from in my small, naïve eyes. But then I started getting into LEGO trains. Train modelling I think is kind of like the gateway drug for shifting allegiances, because its something that LEGO doesn't foster as much as it used to. To get anything done satisfactorily was impossible while maintaining a purist outlook, and before I knew it I was buying custom track pieces, off brand parts and off brand sets (not knockoffs, I hasten to add, but original designs). I'm fully converted now, especially since I'm older and can see how much the price difference matters, so regularly buy parts from Webrick and the like, especially if it's for a model I don't plan on taking apart or if I'm going to modify the parts. Brand loyalty doesn't really benefit the customer in the end, so nobody should be vilified for choosing the more economic solution.

[@Loft_Studios]

Thanks for sharing! And I agree wholeheartedly with your bottom line: Brand loyalty does not benefit the customer. No matter the product, don’t be loyal to any company. There only goal is to take as much money from you as they can.

[@NotNGJW]

This was actually very helpful! Idk if I was featured or not lol but either way THE ANIMATION WAS SO SMOOTH HOWWWWW

[@RichPufferfish]

Your speech at the end reminded me of Emmet from the Lego Movie. Very well said Loft!

[@legoallaround]

Was that an Auto Bricks collab?? 0:28 Love it 😎👍

[@BrickBrickProductions]

Lol.😂 Loved the video. I do prefer LEGO but I am looking into buying off brand LEGO, and I even bought a pack of off brand LEGO with animals and they looked really good!✌️

[@ninjaofwind2374]

This man is one of the most creative brickfilmers of ALL TIME, I don't care if other people use off brand sets or pieces, if it works then I see no problem!!! I have some bootleg minifigures like Deadpool 🤐 and man this is the biggest Brickfilmers crossovers ever 😂 keep growing man you're one of my favorite YOU DESERVE MORE VIEWS AND SUBS

[@Growth_Productions]

I couldn’t recommend dragonframe more for you, but the few problems that I have now found a solution for are just the editing, sound collection and masking, if you can get all that together beforehand then dragonframe is perfect

[@PlasticWars393]

Wow this is the most fiery fire video rn proly

[@EMC_ADVENTURES]

I like knockoff Lego bricks if they aren't too bad. As long as they are similar and get the job done, they're all good to me! (Thanks for helping me with the practical effects, I use them for my Plastic Army Men stopmotions.)

[@Danxiky08]

The truly correct conclusion to this argument you have made here loft, but what you want guys you don’t have to hate a brand unless it’s illegal or straight up rip-off. That said, I’m a loyal Mega fan lol

[@JimJamFilmsYT]

BRUH this was so creative😆 and the way of how you compared “fake” lego and on brand lego was written really well. Either way I’m still going to end up with bankruptcy one day cause of this hobby😂

[@chrithmuthwolf344]

Ah, the wait was absolutely worth it! 😂👌 See folks, all we needed was our good little minifigure representative to show us how to be open-minded in our usage of similarly styled building bricks. Why, you can just hear the conviction in the crowd! Oh...wait. 🤔 (Thanks for featuring us, Lofty!)

0:40 We should internet shame those rude commenters.

[@msbricks63]

Honestly no! I have fake Lego, and it’s pretty okay

[@pi-productions]

I'm a fan of a lot of "off brand" bricks. (Though calling it off brand feels like calling cars off brand mercedes to me. Clearly there is some bad brands that produce interlocking bricks, but that doesn't mean all of them suck. Just like the Fiat Multipla isn't an argument as to why Honda cars are bad.) As such I have to note, there are some figures I think that are able to compete with Lego's. (The Minifigures of Lego. I'm not using the plural "s".) For example I really like the Qman figures. (Hence I used them in an animation myself.) The only downside is the comparatively little variety and poor offers of customization.

[@bricktronics]

I don't understand why your channel doesn't have more subscribers with viral viewership. This video is hilarious, and I love your opinion as well. Awesome content!

[@TundraStopMotion]

This was very interesting, and I learned a lot, and lego is overpriced but I think people just like higher quality, even if it doesn’t do anything, so your right, it depends

[@spacegirlproduction9506]

I have just finished 3 creator expect car Mocs made by myself and I used webricks. Beside small isssues it’s great since I don’t have enough money for buying bricklingk parts from over 15 stores to finish one model. Basically for 3 cars I paid price of one! For such static Mocs I will never take apart since I many times show them in exhibitions I thinks it’s great! But for Mocs like idk… classic space I would always stick to Lego.

[@leviorenbuch1880]

I bought an off brand set once, thinking it was actual lego and the quality was horrible. Now I have trust issues with buying from alternative lego brands

[@Loft_Studios]

That’s very understandable. The biggest problem with offbrand Lego is there is no guarantee of quality.

[@euts2557]

After watching your original video I did some research and constructed the Brick Bank set using WeBrick -- any parts that I couldn't find (roughly 10-15% if I remember correctly) I got from Brick Link. For me to purchase a brand new Brick Bank currently from amazon is over 650 bucks; comparatively, WeBrick cut that down to less than 200. The quality of it was overall good, there were some building techniques that didn't seem to work with the off-brand, most notably the columns that are on the first level. Color quality was slightly off too, but this were for parts at the back of the building. So yes, as someone who wants to build a city-scape for future animations, I will absolutely forgo the Lego print on my bricks if I can save 450 bucks.

[@Comrade_Alpaca]

I don't think it's a problem to use off-brand bricks. I think a cheaper alternative, even if lower-quality, is absolutely a good thing. A free market thrives when there's competition. It allows people who can't afford the price of Lego-brand sets to still enjoy the medium. And let's face it, Lego has been gouging us recently with these insane price increases. Though, combining off-brand bricks with Lego is an atrocity and should never occur. Though, I will say that while I have found a few off-brand companies that have great quality bricks, their minifigures have never come anywhere close to the quality of Lego minifigures. Even brands that mimic the minifigure design exactly. They're always loose and come apart easily, or they're way too tight and are barely able to move.

[@B.W.Bricks_productions]

Some of brand lego is acceptable, some is *NOT*. The official LEGO® brand will always have a special place in my heart, but some good off-brand lego that's affordable is fine for backgrounds and stuff. --- B.W. Bricks

[@the_kneckstudios]

Also all Russian lego animators - mmm ok...

[@RenWHATn]

This feels like emmet if he was a content creator

[@darthmaltodextrin1899]

I have mixed feelings about knockoff lego. I like the lego style parts so I normally shy away from brands that don't copy bricks 1 to 1. Mega Blok is fine for basic brick, but the weird molds of slopes and panels annoy me. I can work around the clutch power being a little off as long as the part dimensions aren't different (I hate KRE-O plates). I do occasionally buy sketchy chinese minifigs, because it's way more affordable than buying discontinued minifigs from the hobbit or star wars. As long as the quality is half decent, I can save a lot of money by using fake minifig torsos and headgear, supplementing real minifig arms, legs, and heads when necessary. Also fake's typically fine for bigfigs because they're mostly just a big chunk of molded plastic.

[@BrickShips1912]

I mean for my new Lego movie I brought some Webrick Lego lifejackets

[@NovasYouTubeName]

The chat gpt part absolutely killed me Edit: captainrexstudiosOFFICIAL, I love ya man!

[@cfb_studios]

Yo there’s Auto Bricks in the background!

[@gabrielcamargo7151]

It's not. Lego is a big and greedy company, companies are evil, that's just a fact. Prices are not going down, but the quality and value for sure are, therefore, you are absolutely right to go after alternatives. Personally I try to keep everything as original as I can, but if something comes up as just too expensive, don't have good value, or is just a retired set that has been going for too much, I will buy off-brand sets and minifigs with no regrets. I live in Brazil, Lego sets here are ridiculous expensive, if you're not a collector or a rich kid you are probably not going your way to buy Lego sets, I'm not even kidding.

[@Pranchis18]

I buy original and "alternative" bricks and minifigures and some minifigures are good (but the "alternative" lego is a copy instead of minecraft is my world for example)

[@brickerbro]

It's great that Lego has some competition these days, imagine if there was only one brand of phones or cars because only the inventors/patent holders could make the product. I get it if kids are a little fanboy-ish, most of us were like that to some brands. When I see adults do it though, ehh. Bootlickers much

[@ArthurMorgan-rdr2gta]

As long as they work the same and can peacefully coexist with one another(like lego won’t fall off of webrick bricks because they’re like 1000th of an inch smaller or something) I can see myself using them as a cheaper alternative if I wanna buy parts for a cool moc I see online

[@dronko-fire-blaster]

I hate off brand lego or what I call them fakego's I used to throw them in the trash when I found them but Im keeping them to destroy the only cases that I'll use off brand is if lego doesn't make them like the power up motors or like metal parts that are stonger, though I do have a collection of like 8 or something pieces that are about 10$ a piece, there the old transparent baseplates. and when I buy lego I usely find the best deal I can for parts often used, or balk bag as some palaces.

[@vibinwithvince6579]

Good way to get rare and discontinued parts imo. Thats How i finished some small projects.

[@James3o8]

I think it’s fine if it’s a set that’s way too expensive for regular people to buy, or custom. But using knock off minifigures is a crime

[@fro99er2]

lego is charging 5x more than competitors and sure while i agree their quality is better, the majority of the 5x the cost goes towards corporate profits. with lego quality dropping and failing to take care of many core fans they are digging their own hole on this one
