[@TheStephenBJ]

I think the reason why colorful bricks pop up in various sets is because they don't get used as much as others. So when they have a place for a brick that won't be seen they use a brick that they have a lot of extra of.

[@garglethesaltyseaman]

WRONG

[@switcher_7678]

Plus, it makes it more fun aswell

[@kailahmann1823]

Of the other way around: To keep the use (and availability) of these kind of pieces stable.

[@talk2mearth]

It's also easier to know what bricks you are supposed to put

[@monstrux2.054]

@@garglethesaltyseaman oh yeah what do you know then?

[@18birko1]

I remember some of my sets has hidden bricks in "weird" (or unlogical) colors. I always wondered why, and I have two theories: 1: Maybe these colors don't get used that often, and therefore are cheaper than more frequently used colors (like red, blue, yellow). 2: LEGO designers intentionally use colors that are in contrast to make it easier when making instructions later, or when the customer build the set.

[@thecianinator]

Both of those theories are true

[@hendo337]

EXACTLY, this is the right answer.

[@legohub5059]

I've built a Chinese set with only black parts. I had a headache looking for parts on my table and it ruined the building experience. Now I understand why they put more colors.

[@MK--xd3mg]

I remember when I got the Tiger Creator set, seeing a lot of pink, blue, and grey pieces inside the torso and I honestly thought they were meant to represent the tiger's organs as an admittedly slightly morbid but fun detail.

[@nak_attak]

A lego builder has confirmed, they include bricks of more exotic colors when they are not visible from the outside. This is confirmed to be just so that builders get extra of the parts that aren't as mass produced as others. This can be seen very prominently in the typewriter set and also the ship in a bottle set. Edits based on good replies: It's also to incease the number of that particular part in that particular colour being produced and making that part more cost effective. Its also used to more easily differentiate between pieces in very monochrome sets.

[@TOA57Y]

[@nak_attak]

@@TOA57Y yes also true

[@VieneLea]

I thought that makes easier to tell which piece to use in a build. When you have a ton of monochrome pieces all bunched together it might be hard to tell which one should be used in a specific place. When they make one hot pink it's instantly obvious.

[@nak_attak]

@@VieneLea yes also true

[@Elvenking83]

Yeah sure... They probably can't sell these odd color bricks as well as they hoped so they just put them in regular sets to get rid of them. It's all about the benjamins baby

[@Robin0928]

My favorite hidden design detail is from the BrickHeadz Buzz Lightyear model. In the middle of the build, you make 4 blue cylinders with a small gray topper pieces that get loaded in a strange pattern. It took me like 10 minutes to figure out that it was meant to be Buzz's batteries being loaded into him. I smiled like an idiot for so long after figuring it out, just such a cute superfluous little detail that added so much to the building experience.

[@OatmealDonk]

Just looked up the manual and it's honestly so beautiful! The fact they even went to the effort to invert 2 of them!

[@stevenbobbybills]

@Plastic Robots yeah, that one is cute. Homer Simpson has a similar detail, but it's that his brain is a 1×1 plate or something like that, instead of a 2×2 brick.

[@TiredLowBrass8048]

I'm pretty sure part of the reason they incorporate colorful bricks is that they're cheaper to produce than darker colored bricks. I've heard blue is the cheapest color to make, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

[@Xodabeef]

I'd think red is/was cheapest, since it is or at least was the majority of colors.

I like how they even go further, and in the Homer Simpson Brickheadz, his brain is made up of a pink 1x1 plate with a jumper and round plate, insinuating it's smaller than average.

[@Maniac4Bricks]

The creeper Brickheadz from minecraft has tnt built into its stomach and underneath the brain.

[@henrychen4947]

I think the voltron lego ideas set that came out a few years ago has alot of cyan bricks or some other rare brick colour that makes up the inside of the Lego set. I think the designer mentioned that it was a way to get lots of rare colour bricks into circulation easier as cyan had not been used in quite a few years.

[@demo2823]

Was about to say it might be because the aesthetic of the caatleship involves a lot of cyan in case people wanted to build scenes as well, and then I realized it was the 80's Voltron, haha.

[@Dass_Jennir]

I thought those kind of bricks were included in order to make builds less monotone and repetitive. For example, a pink brick would be a nice variation in a set like the Scythe shuttle which pretty much black in it's entirety. I figured that's also the reason why Lego keeps including visible blue technic pins when they could be easily replaced by black or grey ones.

[@helohel5915]

I like how BrickHeads put in pink where the "brain" would be of the actual character. A good way to add a little easter egg and add varieties of bricks

[@toyocolla6374]

Plot twist: The pink bricks are just bricks missing their textures.

[@HectorNewton-uq2nv]

Hmm maybe?

[@wojtekpolska1013]

It could also help against someone accidentally placing a brick with a print on the inside if the same shape and colour piece but with print on it was used somewhere else

[@h24manu]

Did you seriously assume Lego prints their pieces for Star Wars?

[@ObiWahnKnobi]

That would necessitate Lego using prints in the first place.

[@andyyang5234]

Homer Simpson's brickheadz (41632) famously had a pink 1x1 tile as his "brain" as a joke (as well as donuts in his tummy). Lego was even kind enough to give you a "window" to look at it without disassembling the entire thing. It's honestly one of the best designed Brickheadz out there.

[@thaddaeusrobinson4239]

The UCS AT AT also has pink brinks on the inside. I also think the addition of bright bricks is an shoutout to all of the MOCs that people make where beneath the surface there is a ton of Different colors

[@jeanmilleisen9378]

My theory was actually different, at least for the pink bricks inside of Brickheads… I thought it was supposed to represent the brain of the character since they always put them in the heads xP

[@alexross1816]

My guess was always for contrast and orientation. When so many bricks are black and have pips so densely packed, it's good to have a contrasting body near to reorient and "calibrate" for lack of a better term,

[@ENCHANTMEN_]

I always figured the colorful internal pieces were there to make building easier by making the steps visually distinct

[@BinglesP]

iirc, the Statue of Liberty model set has the base inside filled with a lot of different colors to make it just a little bit easier

[@Zephyeran]

I'd assumed it might be a marker of sorts, that gets hidden of course, to help differentiate the directions some for extra clarification. Pretty easy to compare a picture with the model when there's a bright pink marker to help you compare a bit better after all, hah. Starwars kits can get pretty complex, so it made sense, but Cake is a far better answer, hehehe

I think the random brightly colored bricks are fun when building, but sometimes it irritates me because they can actually be seen from the outside. On the UCS ISD, the bright colored pieces can actually be seen at the seams of the bridge, and on the UCS AT-AT, there are some exposed tan pieces on the side plating that can be clearly seen when looking at the front or back, as well as colored pieces you can see when looking at the body from below. Especially since those are meant to be display sets, it kind of detracts from the model.

[@ubs102]

The whole inside of the mandalorian, boba felt and the child set is random coloured pieces, because Lego wants to save money as they have already used a lot of grey and black pieces.

[@repbegger984]

I remember building the königsegg speed champ wondering what the random blue and yellow bricks inside were untill they started forming a sweedish flag, very nifty!

[@zackakai5173]

I have to imagine it's because pink is one of those colors that doesn't come up a whole lot but *is* particularly striking, so including colors like that is a limited way to get more bricks in those colors out there.

[@frenchfriedbagel7035]

I like these parts in builds. Gives some extra detail to latch on to during building to make sure I’m putting parts in the right spot.

[@fontunetheteller410]

Here's how I look at it. The more colors you add to a set, the more expensive it is to manufacture. If a counterfeit company like Lepin were to get THAT down to detail in copying a set, it would cost them too much. Pink bricks are one of the ways Lego distinguishes themselves

[@crazybird199]

[@thecrazymarioshow]

I always figured it'd just be as a reference anchor point when building, giving a single bright piece in a sea of grey or black to help distinguish things.

[@Lavendeer201]

I feel like it is to help better visualize the build while keeping the outer colors consistent

[@BaconNuke]

I was kind of right, I just assumed it was for an internal part of a build and pink was cheaper than black or whatever mass produced color or something..

It is a genuine insult to the consumer to charge something like 600$ for a set and then fill it to the brim with leftover part colors, oftentimes even visible from the outside, as if a unicorn vomited inside of it

Sometimes I really confuse that why Lego add so many different colors inside the base of huge sets. When I am doing my MOC, I try to use the same color as it is cheaper and easier for individual purchases. But as a manufacturer, it is better to add different colors to make the building progress enjoyable. Great video, thanks.

[@russ4550]

I always thought it would be a super cool idea to hide several obviously off color pieces to each set in a large series and if you collect them all you unlock a code to a secret instructions book online that uses all the hidden pieces for another small set from the same series

[@Nanbread-bw7nq]

that’s a really fun idea!

[@Gabriel_OGDC]

I think another reason they use simple colours (red, green, blue, etc...) with some internal structural pieces is possibly because they don't want to have to make a part in a colour that it doesn't already come in yet

[@andrewwagner6851]

Makes good set design if you can take it apart and you aren’t just left with a bunch of grey or black bricks. Gives you a color pallete to build with if you decide to repurpose the parts

[@DETHMOKIL]

WOW! LOVE IT

[@vincentpoirier845]

i used to call it the red brick back in the days, never had a pink one

[@stevelavergne2852]

Different-colored bricks do help with the orientation of the set while working. In fact, the most recent R2-D2 set used read and green bricks to build the infrastructure of the legs to designate which is right and which is left.

[@blakdeth]

My guesses would have been 1: pink contrasts against the other colors and 2: pink might be a less costly color to produce 3: pink lego plastic might have more structural integrity than other colors (the opposite of brown)

[@OryxTheMadGod3]

Lego designers usually put colorful bricks on the inside of big builds to make it easier to see where you need to put the pieces

[@thomassterby3909]

The Bat-wing from the ´89 movie has not one but two pink bricks inside the wings, and they are heart shaped. I had to take a brake from building it, to catch my breath after laughing way to much.

[@theemmjay5130]

Talking of the Brickheadz' "brains," I still love that the Minecraft Creeper replaced that with a TNT block.

[@crazysapling2933]

I always figured it was to help orient yourself whole building, I remember when I was young I would struggle a lot with figuring our where the bricks were supposed to go exactly sometimes

[@_German]

in the speedchampions jesko there is a lot of blue and yellow bricks indicating the swerdish colors which is really cool

[@hendo337]

I just always figured they hid bright colored bricks inside things to.make them easier to see on the instructions for younger kids when it's in a sea of black, grey or brown bricks. I remember seeing a few random yellow inner bricks in some of my Pirates and Castle/Woodsman sets as a kid in the late 80s/early 90s.

[@Druid_Plow]

I've built several lego sets with random colors completely covered by other's. I always assumed it was just to help instructions by making an easy to see reference that won't show on the surface.

[@KiemPlant]

I understand why they add colored bricks, but in some sets like the UCS Imperial Star Destroyer it really bugs me that you can easily see the colored bricks when you look at it from a specific angle. Made me position it a bit lower on the shelf so it would be less noticable.

[@SuperSecretBricks]

The Netpune Carrier (LEGO Atlantis set 8075, from 2010) has a hidden Pearl Gold part (47457 Slope, Curved 2 x 2 x 2/3 with Two Studs and Curved Sides) inside that once built is neither visible nor accessible. I think in that specific case, the designer decided to pick a cool part with an interesting colour, rather than two boring 2x2 plates.

[@hollowknightfan2379]

If you crack open Firstbourne's torso, you can tell her internal structure is just a massive rainbow of colors. Brown, white, yellow, orange, blue, green...all kinds of stuff. Also, there's a hollow spot inside. I like to put a golden crystal piece in there. :)

[@ExtraWeirdable]

My guess is they are in spots where the manual would make it difficult to differentiate the brick on a gray backdrop of bricks, meaning people wouldn’t know to put that little piece somewhere cause they can barely see it, and when it’s built it’s encased within the structure anyways so there’s no way to see the color difference when the build is made. It’ll also indicate what stage of a build a certain piece is if it falls apart. Harder to see if every brick is a shade of grey.

[@cheesemancomics]

5:16 it would be easier to follow if they used an outline around the added bricks like in the Lego Vespa construction manual

[@CynUnion-ji9uj]

I would have guessed that pink is just so different from the usual colors in lego star wars that it makes a good reference point

[@TheRandomYoYo]

I also believe that for some structural support pieces, they use sturdier colors, which are more flexible and less likely to break, especially when used with the older brown bricks.

[@elecblush]

Like lots of others i mainly thought this was to have a visual reference point while building. I also thought that it was a way to show young builders that its "ok" to hide random colors inside builds. In addition to this i have heard some lego designers talk about purposefully using various colors to get more bricks of that color type out to builders. And now this story. It's apparent that there are several advantages to using bright or different colored bricks inside builds when possible.

[@Philly_Willy]

The only problem recently that I have with these exotic colors, is the inclusion of the bright blue plates in the wing of the Space Shuttle Discovery set. Thhese plates can be seen in real life, and are included in the official renders of the model in the instructions set.

[@keatonkeyesbutfunnyYT]

I used to think that pink bricks were brains. I don’t know why

[@VoVilliaCorp]

I do remember neon green bricks in some sets before and you can't see it from the outside when the build is finished

[@OfUnreasonable]

Alternate colored bricks also help jack up the cost of lego sets. Each color added increases the cost significantly. One pink brick? +5$

[@AKKK1182]

I thought it's used so you could more easily read the instructions and have a good "save point" in the builds to work off of, so you're less likely to go a stud left or right on all these single color sets.

[@dangerszewski9816]

I always called those "landmark" bricks-- whether or not it's the intention (or part of it) it does make a useful point of reference for building the surrounding structures. As hinted at "it's between the black 2x2 and 2x3 full one down from the 1x2 shim" is a lot harder to locate than "one down from the center of the pink 2x3"

[@EmeralBookwise]

Huh... I would have guessed that as a rare color Lego just has extra pink bricks laying around from other production runs that they need to offload wherever possible.

[@Hywetupaboxo]

In LEGO Saturn V set inside of the rocket there is a mix of every collor in the world. I am serious there is lots of bricks in collors like: pink, green, blue, red, brown. When the rocket collors are especialy black and white.

[@DutchDread]

My guess is this: "Star wars sets are exceedingly grey, when thinking of boxes filled with lego the company wants you to think about a colorful collection of pieces that stimulates the imagination, rather than a dull, mature, grey mass, as such, whenever possible, they will attempt to add in colorful bricks so that collections of lego bricks maintain some color. This has the duel advantage of giving builders more options when building their own creations, so you're not just giving them a set, you're giving them a varied set of building parts for future home creations. The color pink is chosen because of it's relative rarity in other sets, this means that by giving builders pink bricks you are giving them a color they likely do not have many off, increasing their usefulness. In addition this helps Lego get rid of bricks that they might be producing more off than they actually need for sets".

[@MykeTronBuilds]

I was surprised when building 31133, the Creator white rabbit, seal, cockatoo, that each build had hidden away in the middle of it a little 1x1 heart tile. I would've guessed the inclusion of oddly colored bricks in the middle of builds would've been because of overstock of a particular color of that element. Like they produced too many of them and they were taking up space so they had to find some way to get rid of them.
