LEGO SETS I DESIGNED

[@TiagoCatarino]

The 3 secret sets I designed were: 31099 Propeller Plane 31101 Monster Truck 11011 Bricks and Animals

[@That_One_Random_Guy1]

Nice your a legend🎉

[@sie7en_10]

My guy came came back 4 years later hahaha. I dont know if you've answered this already, but what made you quit at LEGO? Appreciate the videos!

[@RayAllan]

Bricks And Animals was my little niece’s introduction to LEGO. She still loves building. I just gifted her my mini gingerbread house for Christmas 2023 …not strictly Tiago (but close!). Thanks for giving her a start 😊

[@aaqibrawat3863]

Your plane can be turned into a pretty cool phaser. On rebrickable

[@GigaChadMain69420]

Thank you I have lego 31099 AND 31101. I can even make 2 31099 prop planes, FULLY ACCURATE! But I made the jet ofc

[@elijahclark6093]

The ship in a bottle is easily one of the coolest sets lego has ever put out. I'd love to shake your hand and say thank you for designing something so awesome.. watching this video with my daughter has her mind made up about being a lego creator

[@TiagoCatarino]

Thats humbling to hear, thank you!! I put my all into every set I designed so, I'm happy to hear you say that! Tell your daughter to build, build, build some more and have fun! Then she'll be ready! :)

[@georginacmpalmer]

So pleased to hear a fellow girl would love to be a Lego set creator!

[@elijahclark6093]

@@georginacmpalmer she absolutely inherited my love for legos. At least a couple nights a week she sits up creating architecture and little furnished apartments with her legos. Sorted by color and block and really very talented. And of course I'd say that because I'm her dad but she is actually talented. I really hope it's what she grows up for do. Rather than a boring career that she'll hate.

[@kiko_yeet5641]

I've got one and it was really fun to build

[@elijahclark6093]

@@kiko_yeet5641 it's a great set. I'm newly in love with the bonsai tree as well. It sits up making our real bonsai look quite sickly lol.

[@jedisquidward]

Even when I was "retired" from Lego for almost a decade, Ship in a Bottle was just so unique and visually appealing, even more so than many other great sets, that I still might consider buying it sometime now that I'm back into it!

[@TiagoCatarino]

The sooner the better! Its a retired product now, which tend to go up in price. Thank you :)

[@jedisquidward]

@@TiagoCatarino Of course! I would like to ask, when you were working at Lego, depending on the kind of set, about how far in advance would a set be discussed / conceptualized before the public would know about it?

[@TiagoCatarino]

@@jedisquidward the usual timeline would be one year of development before products went out to the shelves. Sometimes less, sometimes more. But on average one year. Discussions may start even earlier.

WHOA you designed the Ship In A Bottle?! This is one of my all-time favourite sets. I built it while in the hospital after an accident. Thank you SO much for designing something that helped me through an incredibly rough time.

[@TiagoCatarino]

Glad I could help somehow :)

[@JustAClumsyBoi]

THE MODULAR POOL SIDE IS ONE OF THE BEST AND FIRST LEGO SETS I BUILT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS SO DANG GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!! and very enjoyable!

[@nick91884]

I would think the 3 in 1 sets would be alot more difficult than a set with a single configuration, takes alot of creativity to come up with 3 different build using the same small pool of pieces and have them be distinct and fun builds, that's alot things to take into consideration designing those.

Do we know witch are the other three sets he designed since the gingerbread house that weren't released yet? Has he mentioned them since?

[@dr.pepper3658]

I don’t know if this counts but he said in a different video he only gave a few pointers on the organ so technically he helped on the haunted house which is number 10273 he also pitched the idea of the lego Titanic which is set 10294

[@bluecollar825]

@@dr.pepper3658 "pitched the idea" lol. There's been talks about a Lego Titanic for as long as I can remember. Not to mention the countless amount of MOC's built of it. Yeah if I were him I wouldn't mention that either smh. Really groundbreaking concept with that one. Sounds like something he came up with on the way to work unprepared for a meeting.🤣 But the Ship In The Bottle is a next level set.👍 Love that we have a former Lego employee sharing company secrets with us online.🤘

[@crystelleglasse7807]

The Gingerbread House is on my must buy list. The roof is outstanding and I love the touches of humour and playfulness in all your sets.

[@TiagoCatarino]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Hope you get your hands on one and then let me know what you thought of it!!

[@Ohne_Silikone]

I like the small Christmas train a lot. Bought several of them to make one long one with different carriages and locomotives. It even had tanks to hold hot chocolate and a rack to hold different plows for in front of the locomotive. I put them all in an Adventskalender. The only thing it missed though were two extra connector pieces.

[@harrynelson8642]

I have the gingerbread house, the ship in a bottle and the pug- all sooo amazing well done 👍

[@TiagoCatarino]

Thank you!! Those are probably my favorites to have designed!!

[@queer.solutions]

Thank you for your sweet stories, and allowing us to live vicariously the life of a LEGO designer.

[@TiagoCatarino]

You'rw very welcome!! :)

[@Matthew-oi6kz]

I LOVE the Gingerbread House, and I build it every year at Christmas. THANK YOU for such an amazing set. I especially love how candy designs were worked into every bit of the set!

[@ben_bennie_nie]

The dog polybag is one of my faforite lego sets. Love the simplicity of it.

[@TiagoCatarino]

Looks so simple, yet so complex!

[@tjitsekoster9379]

I love the gingerbread house. I've build this set together with my wife and kids (then 3 and 5) and it was a lot of fun. It was actually the first set I've build in many many years and It was so much fun discovering all the creative ways of building I was not familiar with. Last time I played with lego must have been early 90's, so a lot has changed since then.

[@stuntmusicgameshow311]

The drum set in 10405 is so realistic, it makes me want to bust out my clarinet and play.

[@idonjohnson6999]

About to rebuild the Gingerbread house for the second time. Picked it up last year after restarting with Lego (winter sets) and it’s just fanatics. At times I want to take a bite out of it. The icing doubling up as snow is just brilliant.

[@indianaandrew8139]

I love the Ginger Bread House and the ship in the bottle set. They are some of my favorite sets that I have. The ginger bread house really helped make my winter village much better.

[@john43261]

I started my career with LEGO Brand Retail in 2016, so I remember seeing many of your 3-in-1's during my early days with the company. Ship in a Bottle was so popular at my store, same with the Gingerbread House. You made many guests happy with your work.

[@dotsplit]

I absolutely love the Ship in a bottle. I got a long while ago and still remains as one of my favorite sets. I have it as a display piece in my home office!

[@ingridwinn9082]

Great video. Thanks for blue windows. Gingerbread men. Ship in bottle glass and scooter. You did great in giving us more. Yaye

Thanks for sharing that. It's fun to learn about all the little Easter eggs and reasons behind colour choices for element that you don't even see in the finished build! I'm looking forward to your last three sets. Please let us know which ones are yours as soon as they are officially announced/available. Were you able to completely finish them up while you were still at TLG, or was there one you had to hand over to another designer for the finishing touches because you ran out of time?

[@TiagoCatarino]

You're welcome! I believe they'll be out in January. I was able to completely finish them up, so they'll be 100% mine :)

[@UTJK.]

So you're the mind behind these sets! The internet is really a magic place :) Some of these sets really caught my eye from the first time I saw them. That Christmas tree is so unique and original, yet very simple and elegant.

Hello Tiago!! 🙂 Thank you for adding scooters (I LOVE Vespa). Also, the printed pieces with the GT race car, the TC graffiti and the TC seal on Ship In A Bottle are REALLY nice (yes "the company" Ha! Lol).

[@stinabina]

I'm curious about the thought process for the water pieces in the ship in a bottle set. Any particular reason for 284?

[@Hexqbe]

I remember his comment in other video (Search "Lego Instruction Be Like") "When designing the Ship in a Bottle set, I decided on a round number of stud plates, 300. I was adviced by the packing team to adjust the quantity to 284 because of the counting machine who place the pieces in the bags. The extra 16 pieces were not that relevant, and if it made packaging easier, I just went with it."

[@subwarpspeed]

I just watched that video, never read the comment section. Funny how to algorithm brought me to this video, that I looked at the comments were a question on an old video received an informative answer only a few hours earlier 😁

[@johnblack3204]

I got back into Lego for the first time in 15 years this year. I got few sets that interested me and I'm currently starting to do MOCs. During this process I found your channel and have slowly going through your videos. I had no clue you designed the ship in a bottle! It was one of the sets that I bought earlier this year before I found your channel and was the last set i bought before I started doing MOCs. It was on of the main sets that inspired me to build my own creations! Thank you!

[@lechkulina]

Great work Tiago and many thanks for sharing all of the details that went into the the design process and behind the scenes nuances :)

[@TiagoCatarino]

You're very welcome! Glad you liked it :)

[@LackingAGoodName28]

I used to have the Mobile Stunt Show set a few years back, it was a great set and I wish I still had it. Thank you for all of the fun and joy you have given me, Tiago and the other designers!

[@Cosmosis-86]

The modular skate is still one of my favourite sets, very cool designs and Easter eggs.

[@natk9438]

I am a huge fan of the 3 in 1 creator polybags! My kids and I love them. We always buy three bags so the three of us can sit together and build each model. With bigger sets it's not really affordable for me to buy three sets so I am so so thankful for these polybags! Part of the joy of LEGO for me is creating together so these polybags are so important! Also... We loved your cute pug set so much. Each build is gorgeous and fun to build, superb work! I truly hope you feel proud of what you have achieved ❤️.

[@jezusmylord]

I really like that Tiago had in mind all the time what the fans would benefit from during designing.

[@adamb2619]

My favorite building step ever is #59 of the 21313 Ship in a Bottle. Love it and still find it so humorous in the best of ways.

Oh wow! I own 4 sets that you designed! The Gingerbread House, the Modular Poolside Holiday (my first Creator 3-in-1 in my collection), the Christmas Train polybag, and the Santa Creator polybag. I already have a few Christmas trees from different Christmas sets and the one in the Gingerbread House is my favorite!!! I even told my sister, “Whoever designed this Gingerbread House did an amazing job!” I love every detail and corner of that set, most especially the tree. 🎄 Thank you so much and congratulations!!! ❤️

[@jonasfermefors]

I have more than half of those (discounting the polybags) and they include two of my all time favourites - the ship in a bottle that is always of display at home and the gingerbread house that I put in a window every Christmas (well two Christmases so far) and which I plan to make part of a larger winter scene next year.

[@sarahmtrager]

Ship in a Bottle was my first set as an adult builder, and still one of my all-time favorites. Thanks for reintroducing me to a wonderful hobby!

[@MOCTurtle4911]

The Ship in the Bottle is amazing. It is a set we missed out on due to when we started into getting serious about Lego, but one we really regret missing. Great work by you and the Idea designer, and like that you put the Portuguese flag in places.

[@copperqwaser2468]

i love the ship in bottle, but man i like the look of that prototype ship at 12:52 much better than the one that ended up in the set

[@Roboshi2007]

ship in a bottle was so fun, the one thing that I still find funny wad the instruction to pour a certain number of studs it was just amusing as if the idea that adding too many would be a problem. And the Gingerbread house was amazing! I'm still sad I had to sell it when I moved house.

[@PhilippeWaxweiler]

The Turbo Track Racer is just amazing, the alternative builds are also really good and the main Build is just pure genius!!! :D

[@TiagoCatarino]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Erpty05]

I built the gingerbread house with my family over the holidays. Such a fun build with tones of cool details. So cool to see the guy who designed it! Very masterful! Cheerse.

[@osmanpasha_diy]

Lego should really release official videos like this! This video is so fun and informative!

[@ryanmackenzie7651]

My favourite set that you designed is the gingerbread house. I love the details you put into the house and the colours are amazing.

Most of these sets were on shelves when I started Lego, it's cool to see the stories of them.

[@davidalling6419]

I really want to build that gingerbread house one day. I got a small ginger bread house one year for Christmas when I bought another set. In the instructions it had showcased your model and I thought it was incredible. It must have been a wild ride engineering actual sets that are so iconic today.

[@janekmorel]

The 3in1 Shuttle Transport is a very cool little set with lots of detail and functions. Totally underrated, imho. It was the first set I got after years of absence, I love it!

On the gingerbread house I was very impressed by the whole set but also the baby gingerbread. That is so cool to use that element for the baby! I think you did a fantastic job on the set!!!

[@HyperWolf]

Its really cool to see which sets were designed by you. I actually have some of these so that makes it extra cool to see. I tried to buy the ship in the bottle but I never got to. It was sold out by the time I saved up and it’s never available when I look for it. Still super cool to see who designed it.

[@seamarie3111]

I love the ship in a bottle set! I got it to work on during a beach trip, very fitting! It was a lot of fun, though I think I might have been missing a bag of water studs ... but no biggy, still looks great! It's still on my shelf, I think I have it next to my fishing store!

[@gazbot9000]

I have some of the kits you were involved in, I was very happy with them. Great work! I really wish the LEGO Group would put the names of their designers forward more. We get a real sense of different designer styles, but it's quite rare for LEGO to attribute the efforts of their designers and design teams - more often than not, we're left to speculate who did what. Some of the LEGO engineers are genius artists and they deserve a lot more credit.

[@christopherdarling95]

Love the behind the scenes of your work and process. Your sets are very awesome! 👏

[@Lord_Dino]

My mom bought the Gingerbread House Lego Set for my family to have as a Christmas decoration type thing, and by that point I had been subscribed to Tiago for around 2-4 months. When I found out that you designed it I literally freaked out!!! I AM STILL SO HAPPY LOL!!!

[@taqresu5865]

So of the sets you designed, I own two, the Polybag Christmas Train, and the Creator 3-in-1 Truck with the Shuttle. I think I used elements from the shuttle as well as my Ideas Saturn V and some City Space sets to build a MOC Minifig scale shuttle for a LEGO Display I participated in (the theme of that display was "Moments from History." This was before LEGO announced the Shuttle Discovery set. SEEing the Discovery was kind of humbling because I realized how much I could improve. My MOC was of a similar size, so it was neat to see how professional LEGO Designers tackled on the same problems I ran across (like the Cargo Bay doors).
