Is LEGO Making Too Much? Best Way to Buy Pieces? Track Shelving or Ikea? Ask Bricksie 20

[@RaquelLewis-c2p]

I’m going to be honest, I’ve enjoyed your channel even more since the Rocket incident. Your creativity has really come through even more. It also seems like it has allowed you to dream more. Plus as a Mom I love seeing the family stuff too. Enjoy the time!

[@AmazinglyAmberYT]

Thanks for answering my question, Bricksie!

[@Robbie_Hildebrand]

I had actually never heard of TD Bricks, so I checked it out - your content is way better!!! He's got too many fast/quick edits. Keep up the amazing work and stay the course!!

[@alexzachary3527]

Agreed, Brickcraft is incredible!!

[@kylokev]

Agreed. Their video on how they made the quarter tile cobble stone streets has stuck with me. Such great technique (and very time and part intensive)

[@AmazinglyAmberYT]

Ask Bricksie: If you had all of the Lego pieces in the world, what would you build?

[@luispagan1396]

Would you consider doing a map of the final city layout from the basement; like with all the street names, train stations and where places are and stuff sort of like a tourist map of the final city layout before moving i think it would be pretty cool

[@Hotspur37]

classic minifigure brickheadz was a suggestion I put in a recent Lego insider survey. Also suggested NFL teams, not a hockey fan but NHL might be cool too, as Lego did do some Euro Soccer teams.

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Yes a NFL and ice hockey sets would be great. I have one of the old soccer sets .I payed $70 an was amazed how much the mini fig s with Adidas shirt. Are werth

[@TheArmouredArmadillo]

I think Lego would be advised to wait a few years for NFL stuff. If it continues to grow in Europe and other markets then I see potential for them

[@DisneyDreamer21]

Ask Bricksie: Would you want Ben and Millie to get into Lego when they get older? And if so, why?

[@Moviefanforever5679]

I am a rock music fan, i would love to see brick heads of metallica, Ozzy and others..that would so awesome 🤘

[@kellybrewer5099]

That is what I’m saying🤘

[@JimSpinner]

With all the new space, the new City should be a bunch of different "Islands" of lands with each a different weather/climate theme

[@Hyside14]

I prefer your content style to TD bricks style. I learn more from you about how to improve my own daily journey into bettering my collection and display of said collection. Ex: I recently saw 4x4 gray plate on the PAB wall and freaked out cuz I knew i could go home and pull up your video on MILS plating and make some of my own. I see you as an "expert" whereas I would see TD as only a visually pleasing piece of entertainment which i forget an hour after i watch it. Your content lasts in my mind and has a deeper impact on me as a consumer. I actively refresh your pages on a daily basis. be yourself! ❤

[@Hyside14]

pt.2 : another example is the ikea tables. I went back to your recent trip to Ikea video and it helped me find suitable tables for my sets while you gave insightful input about the color choice and how certain surfaces scratch more easily or are tougher for filming. All of this stuff is so useful to me as a newer AFOL.

[@kylokev]

To touch on the question about an adult Lego City sub-theme, I totally agree. I missed out on the Family House and electric car for 2023 (I never saw it on sale online) and the demand for it on eBay is insane. So I feel like the demand is there! I love the creator 3 in 1 buildings too. I need more copies of the Downtown Noodle Shop!

[@CriticsCupofficial]

Would highly recommend getting glass doors on your new displays. It’s what I’m definitely doing when I move out soon 😊😊

[@RobTwin]

I love the idea of the classic Lego brickheads. I don’t collect Brickheads but I’d be down for a forestman, Red Beard and Spaceman. Really they could do all the old Lego exclusives factions and probably sell really well. Brilliant idea!

[@kylokev]

They could do an astronaut in every color as a BrickHeadz and I think they would all sell really well!

[@DisneyDreamer21]

Ask Bricksie: Who is your favorite LEGO KZbinr (excluding yourself and family)?

[@joshuabrickman1641]

With everything youve said all i can say is thank you bricksie for the episode.

[@briangallagher3106]

I’ve been coming back to your channel over everyone else because I think your personality and video content is better than anyone else. I watch you daily. And have done for about 2 years now. Keep up the incredible work

[@colsbricks]

Building custom LEGO and MOCs are so much more rewarding than buying a set from LEGO. If your able to design using something like Bricklink Studio and then order the pieces, it becomes a really enjoyable project.

[@BrickHQ]

I didn't realize that the new space is bigger than your house, really puts into perspective how big it is Cool to hear about the inspiration you got from brickcrafts 18:33 I 100% agree that Lego and bricklink should be synced Thanks for answering my question, I hope lego does something like it. Also realistic common cars that aren't race cars is a bigged missed opportunity by Lego I didn't know the origin story of the name Bricksie

[@bonnyb7003]

Congratulations on the new space! Have you thought of more options for one of the empty walls? A potential option could be a wall of brick heads for your large collection. Similar to the wall of mini figures you have now. Whatever you I'm sure it will be great!! Keep up the GREAT content!.

[@TOMANDKATIE]

Morning Bricksie! GO OILERS!!!

[@leef6287]

Great vid Bricksie. Will you be placing the Eiffel Tower in the new Lego city location ? And, maybe add a moc Arc De Triomphe too

[@anthonykonosus406]

Have you thought about placing tables along the walls and an island in the middle of the new studio. The city in the middle and dioramas along the walls is what i would do :)

[@BricksNJitzz]

A drag strip for the speed champions on the island would be cool

[@seanaustin8516]

I like how y'all have y'all part organized in your system is well packed 🫶⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🫶

[@Grand_Theft_Dirigible]

Regarding upsizing existing modular buildings, I’ve always had a soft spot for my first modular, the Palace Cinema, but it doesn’t seem to get much love in the Lego city. Any chance you will upsize/modify it?

[@randomusernameCallin]

You know what would be a fun challenge: "Take bricks you never use and work with them to make something." See what you can do with colorful slanted slops. If you have the time you could even do a bricklink's studio context to see what other came up with.

[@DigiLena]

As a complete out there alternative for brick storage in your new warehouse you could build your own PAB wall ❤ love your videos.

[@samwalker8893]

The list of potential for your new city is amazing…. I was desperately waiting for that home depot you promised with lumbar yard etc… but pair that with tim hortons etc… the list of one off unique builds is huge now

[@scottm344]

Everyone, let's come together and help this channel get to 500k this year. All we need to do just to show our appreciation for this channel and all the time and effort it takes to make all the vids for our entertainment is to share with just one different person everytime we watch a vid and help this channel grow like crazy. In my opinion this guy really goes above and beyond to get us all videos to watch and for that brief time allow us to be entertained. Plus, hitting the like button helps also. Either way, it totally free.

[@captainnutnut6077]

Ask Bricksie: two part question for you. Have you ever watched LEGO Masters? And, if so, have you ever considered applying for the show?

[@aydenryken9314]

He and his wife should be a team, if he does!

[@captainnutnut6077]

@@aydenryken9314 my thoughts exactly. Given Chris from DuckBricks's recent success, and his lack of MOC experience prior to the show, I think Jordan and Mrs. Bricksie would make an amazing team.

[@Hunter_solos12]

Ask Bricksie: How often do you dust your Lego sets and Lego city?

[@brunnegraff]

You should look into the wall control system. It is what I am using to display all of my lego. They are easily adjustable and easy to mount.

[@stlnyi5421]

Will you reintegrate the Eiffel Towel into your city when you move into the studio?

[@m2mcbrick444]

I'd love to see a separate STAR WARS big diorama utilizing your armies and ships! Be safe and well!

[@wendymckay8844]

Brickheads of The Muppets or of Sesame Street could be cool under the "Disney " umbrella

[@SVanWhelan]

While watching, an idea for integrating Star Wars into your city hit me (especially since you’ll have the space soon). Build a convention center, and have a SW con, you could have it like people are cosplaying, people cued up for entry. So you could even have multiples of singular characters (even with different variations from over the years)

[@Patrick_Bureau]

Whats Brickcraft is doing in is City that I don't think is a good idea for you is the lighting. Once you've installed lights inside your city you locking it in place. It becomes so much harder to redo the entire layout if you want to add a new set. Or to change the theme of a section.

[@schroederfjeremy]

Will you ever do tutorials on landscaping and trees? I always want to learn more ways to build that sort of thing

[@jasonyork7915]

I think your space could be big enough to have different “seasons” represented in the landscape. We could have a permanent winter village and/or Lion Knights set up. Thanks for the video!

[@zachawk1575]

Hey man! When you move into your new studio and redo the LEGO city would you consider doing KZbin shorts showcasing each building and modular while you place them into the new city?

[@josephh9401]

Hey Jordan, Another great episode. My question for the next episode is: Have you considered purchasing the Horizon Express? Are you a fan of it? (Apologies if this has been asked before). Part two of the question: I’m the new warehouse, are you going to have the city to be a ‘cross section’ of a bigger city or a self contained city?

[@Oilcountry89]

Great Q&A . nice to see some behind the scene thoughts. Keep it up

[@saburu79666]

I'm excited for your power- up! 🙌🏼 I'd like to request a music festival in your new city. ✌🏼😃 Love your channel. ❤

[@tylerjackson2655]

Ask Bricksie: As the helmets are my favourite Lego subtheme which ones are your favourites? Additionally I am so sad that they’re stopping that subtheme and truely hope for a comeback soon. Which Marvel and Star Wars helmets do you think they need to make? My list includes, Captain America, Deadpool, Wolverine, Antman, Bo Katan, Kylo Ren, 332nd trooper, 501st trooper (this list could go on for ages)

[@pedromarinho6589]

Hey Jordan! Before asking my question for your next video, I would like to congratulate you for your cool content! I have a question that is bothering me, about my personal collection, that maybe you already answered, but here it goes: do you have any part of your collection that is stored away, or is it all in display? Does it make sense to keep sets in bags that we will probably never assemble/display again? Sorry if the question does not make sense, but I have a large collection, and no display space for it at the moment... Probably I will have a bit of display space on the future, but there are sets that I know I will never be able to display, and recently I started really to think if that makes sense at all... I do not need the money, but by other hand is "money" that I have in bins that probably will never see the daylight again... Sorry for the big testament, but I would really like to know your input on that! Keep up the good work

[@ominous4765]

Having watched your city breakdown, i was wondering how all the mills plates of the city fit together with no gaps and dont slide off the table since there's no "outline"

[@legoswfan]

Brickheadz The Emperor, or would that be too far out of the comfortzone of Lego? Would have been cool to get. Much love from Norway!

[@MechBoy3025]

Brickheadz are like the new Funko Pops!

[@SimonGould1024]

The main 2 Lego channels I love (besides yours) is Brickcrafts and Brick World International. Both have amazing cities like yours.

[@Ian_167]

On estimate, how many lego sets and lego pieces do you have?

[@jonsix1928]

Quick idea - in portsmouth england there is a museum which is actually the HMS Victory ship of the line. Cool idea might be to customise the barracuda ship to be something similar if your doing more water and a port

[@PleegWat]

I use the open container system for technic beams, panels, and frames, and it works well for that. But I don't think it would work well for pieces of which you need a smaller volume readily available.

[@JoelCrager]

Hey Jordan was wondering if you considered the temperature of being up in the mezzanine for your building area during the warmer months? It will most likely be 5 to 8 degrees warmer than the base floor. I would imagine you wanting to be as comfortable as possible for having a good mind to think and create builds. If you end up having to get some kind of air conditioning setup you would have to have set lower for the mezzanine to be comfortable then be too cool on base floor. If I were you I would use the mezzanine for storage and shipping area. If you end up looking into unit(s) for having air conditioning you might be able to hit up MRCOOL and they may do a sponsorship deal with you for you making a video of install and review of the unit(S). I have seen many KZbinrs do this. The MRCOOL units can do both heat and cooling. I have bought 3 of their units for my home one on each floor and love them had for 4 years now and plan on getting one for the garage soon. I am in no way affiliated with MRCOOL by the way lol. Congrats on getting a place to expand your city and your mind you really deserve it man.

[@alonewolf190]

The system you use is the same I've been using for 15 years. I won't ever change. Cheers

[@pineapplevisual1564]

What is your least favorite Lego theme?

[@etsuo6421]

Would you ever build multiple cities in your next layout in the new location? You could have a highway running through the middle connected to multiple fairly big cities!

[@johnnykocher5268]

Would you consider putting a webcam in the new studio so subscribers or even members as a perk of the channel can watch you build?

[@Animalvader1]

Any plans on building a Batcave into the new city layout?

[@AlexKuhr]

Ask Bricksie: Would you consider buying the modular buildings you don't have atm, for the new and bigger city, to fill it up? Or is it too expensive to do so?

[@edwardlavierijr8568]

How about Brick Headz from the Matrix?

[@aydenryken9314]

Jordan, two questions: What Stat Wars Midiscale ships would you like to see? I know you're excited for the 25th Anniversary Sets (Falcon and Tantive IV). Also, what cars/trucks would you like to see in the Speed Champions line? Have a great day!

[@tonihall7810]

Agreed. I bought a bag of lego and more than half was NOT lego. Frustrating. Thanks for the time.

[@pipreynolds6638]

Lion king brick heads would be great!!!!!!

[@nova7747]

Could you provide links to the steralite drawers and acrylic containers you use?

[@officialmasu]

I recently started collecting Lego in October 2023 and I have a problem getting rid of the boxes... I just can't bring myself to throw them out. Do you keep your boxes or do they get thrown out immediately? Love the content by the way ❤

[@javiersp15]

As somebody who has copied your sterilite system with a much much smaller piece count (I sort pieces by type and combine all colors) and have 16 containers, I love it!

[@c0nnerie71]

Lego is creating wayyy too many sets, prices are shooting up too fast. I think Lego is about to have serious competitors coming for them.

[@rambotarzann]

What set(s) are going going to keep in your house when you move the warehouse? There has to be a special set you are going to keep at your house.

[@rpcxtreme320]

Oh gosh don't make video like TD Bricks, I think a lot of people will leave if you do. Question: Where do you see your channel and Lego journey in 3-5 years? Do you think you'll buy more or less sets when you move into the warehouse - seems like you'll have more room for sets buy also a ton more room for your city, which will take up more time. It seems like you leave a good amount of sets at the store because your current Lego room is packed to the brim.

[@maxselin]

will you show pictures or videos of the new place before you move there?

[@maxavila417]

Would you consider doing a classic space set up in the new warehouse?

[@oldman-zr2ru]

It's not ludicrous that Lego doesn't list their parts from the Lego factories on Bricklink. A perfect example is what I was doing recently. I wanted some of the new cows so I check Lego and they are $9.52 each on the PAB site but I can buy them from Germany off of BL for $6.16 each. They would be shooting themselves in the foot if they did that.

[@scottm344]

Do you happen to do any merchandise like shirts and coffee mugs.

[@kristinajohansson5035]

Have you been on or would you like to be on lego wars? The competition on TV? I really enjoy your channel and am looking forward to see your new studio space. Lots of love from Sweden

[@wildeone2070]

Would you be a fan of a Halloween town series like the Winter Village theme? Every year we'd get a Halloween themed $100 set so we can build up a Halloween town. Good or bad idea?

[@Goatbrickguy]

Ask Bricksie What are your thoughts on custom minifigures?

[@micahrogers661]

Have you ever thought about making a Lord of the Rings/Hobbit section in your Lego city? Maybe Hobbiton or the Lonely mountain.

[@JamesM10262]

I am from BC and registered for BrickCan 2024 for the first time and displaying a MOC. I know you will be neck deep in your new Lego location but, do you think you might keep the Canadian end up and make the show? It’s right beside the Airport with Tim Horton’s nearby!

[@brickbro1993]

Ask Bricksie: Would you consider building a Cyberpunk themed district in the new facility? Or even some Star Wars influence? Doesn't even have to be a district, it could be a street or a little alley like Diagon Alley in your city except Cyberpunk themed. I know you said you wouldn't due to the size and other concerns with said sets but, just thinking of some ideas to help fill in the amount of space you'll be getting. Thanks for the content.

[@FabuBrik]

AskBricksie: Do you have a white whale set? If not, what's the one set you would want LEGO to make if they gave you the opportunity to choose?

[@markl4906]

Do you think the new Lego ideas red telephone booth set would pair up well with the creator expert London bus from a few years ago? Or is the scale off to display both together?

[@kubagorecki9522]

I think spongebob brick heads would be cool

[@denisdasher]

Ask Bricksie : How old do you have to be to become a lego ambassador?

[@brickblums]

Do you think you will venture into the world of lighting your city? Custom or with the kits?

[@matthewpotter8491]

Yeah, I love Lego but not a custom guy myself. I love the actual sets and following the instructions, getting the box artwork etc. Have to agree with the comment re Lego releasing too many sets. I’m of the same opinion. Even though I really only focus on 3-4 themes (and not everything in those themes appeals to me anyway) it’s near impossible to keep up these days. I’m constantly playing catch up (trying g to prioritise my retirement date). Or sometimes a set will become available at a really good price and you end up buying it when you hasn’t planned for it.

[@lucapietrangeli270]

I could find u an awesome playlist or two to build some lego too :p

[@lastrustycheesecakelegofan7182]

What do you think will happen to your Lego when you retire? How long do you plan to keep the channel running? I really like your channel.

[@mrwillb3227]

Hi i just had a thought, oh wow, while listening to someones question about star wars in your city. You could have a film studio street/ section that would allow you to add some star wars or other themes Indiana Jones Jurassic park etc without going all out on a massive area dedicated to each theme.

[@timmyi1030]

Any plan on getting the airport shuttle monorail set add to your city?

[@bRicKmoTioN-e7j]

Will you ever make your part drawers bigger in the warehouse?

[@Flyoff1234]

If you get asked to Lego Masters again, you definitely should jump on the opportunity. While it would stink to be away from your family for so long, it could potentially help grow your following and would be a super fun experience.

[@chrisblythe4912]

Jordan you could still do some creative moc building at home and transport it to your new area if you miss the convenience of home Lego

[@ferripro9112]

I agree with your lego/bricklink idea. why dosn’t Lego make a Bricklink store? Its so easy.

[@thomasgolds4585]

Any advice for someone who lives away from their bricks? I’m studying in Edmonton but my collection is in a different territory - miss being under the same roof as all my parts & minifigures

[@FrogTownexotics29]

Did you save the tops to your sterilite drawers? It just occurred me that you were gonna change the layout and would need more tops.

[@alexgeesink4347]

A back drop would be cool I think Lego in the backdrop, the Aston Martin DB5 is a cool one I like speed champions or the new Land Rover but good pick 👍.

[@afolchamp]

14:06 You don’t watch BrickTsar but you have Tipper Truck on display on your shelves?

[@cameroncox9268]

@bricksie- do you think you will get rid of your technic sets since you might be moving away from the theme since you might be running out of space/ running out of the love of technic??

[@ezekielclark963]

Will you pick up the new brick link designer program of the train shed?
