Lego Team GB Olympic Mini-Figures | Ashens

[@digimonFTW22456]

As he slowly zoomed up his collection of mini figs, I could only watch, stuck in a Limbo of fear and envy. It was excellent, beautiful, majestic. It blinded me in pure, unadulterated, beauty. Good job Ashens.

[@juriusagi]

My jaw dropped when i saw your lego collection. I have even more respect for you sir.

[@pferreira1983]

All I remember of the London Olympics is James Bond and the Queen jumping out of a plane.

[@johnpaulgarcia9501]

P Ferreira yes and it was a rip off queen too!

[@wolfyboy]

i STILL, to this day, hope that stuart will one day review ALL of those lego figures!

[@christianbirkett8048]

As a once LEGO kid, that minifigure collection made me shit bricks.

[@Stone_Tosser]

Christian Birkett Are you still made of Lego?

[@thewallachianbard6975]

DAAYUM. WHAT A COLLECTION. I literally went DAYUM,

[@km5405]

oh my god - its the inanimate carbon rod that saved the spaceshuttle propelled to fame in the olympics!

[@Space-Holiday]

I am amazed at how detailed lego is these days! I remember when their faces were two dots and a curve.

[@just2good]

Aww, I never knew you were an AFOL Ashens! What do you think of minifigures Series 8?

[@dynasxv]

The lion comes from Richard I. Also known as Richard the lionheart, he once ruled England as its king. His crest featured 3 lions (this crest can still be found on some £1 coins) and this has lead to the lion being featured on flags etc.

[@TheEPROM9]

I see my two in there, the graduate and programmer, got them for graduating with a computing degree. =-)

[@sofacushions]

The opening ceremony was excellent although some of it I felt was great because I'm English and I live very close to London so I understood it but I wondered if people from other countries would get it...

[@crochetingcanuck]

Thats a bloody lot of Lego figures! And those display cases are pretty cool too.

[@atsunome]

Every four years, instead of watching the actual olympics, I just check out a variety of tat reviews videos just like this

[@Larry.R]

Thanks for reviewing these Stuart, and thank God you didn't burn any of them. I remain your loyal subscriber. Oh yeah, and congrats on completing all the series to date.

[@aeneasfate]

Every individual brick, one at a time. Jerrold is a 2x1 block in a nice royal blue, accentuated by a stunning logo of Saturn on the side in white.

[@BalvBam]

The weight lifter looks like Dolph Lundgren

[@Valenslunara]

That sort of depends, they come in a blind bag so you don't know what you're getting. So you might get lucky, pick up the number of figures in bags and never get a duplicate but you probably won't. Some hobby or game shops open up bags and you can buy them separately at a slight upcharge but a full set of unwrapped ones will usually run about 30-40USD. So you'll spend at least that (if not more) on a normal set.

[@najtrows]

HAHA!! The music in the end just always make me laugh! You are so good at this!

[@Zet237yt]

I cannot describe how relieved I was when he said "you can't burn lego, it's the law!"

[@MaxxLegend]

Bloody hell that's a farily big collection of figures, mr.Ashens! Impressive indeed.

[@Cougarscythe]

OMG all those lego minifigs...I sir, am incredibly jealous of your collection

[@NotRealNamesAgain]

How come when I saw that emblem on her back at 4:40 I instantly thought "Sweep the leg!"?

[@NotRealNamesAgain]

***** /shrug

[@TheRealHickory8]

3:56 It's MARK NUTT!!!!!!

[@AllofCanada]

Quickly! Lean backwards, look at the sky then tilt your head at 45 degrees and then.......Maaaaaark Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutt

[@wolfyboy]

why doesn't he review all of those lego figures? they look quite interesting.

[@joevictor53]

If I recall correctly he reviewed series 1 and said if people liked it, he'd do the others. I don't think they liked it so he never did them

[@TNGengar]

That's a nice collection you got there doctor, bravo!

[@sfighter991]

Impressive minifigure collection!!!

[@Beardshire]

I'm just now watching this one.

[@SilentTree12]

I WANT THAT COLLECTION DAMN IT

[@BygPhattyPlus]

Dude, you have the most epic lego collection ever.

[@overweightactor]

Holy shit, Ashens! That's an impressive collection of mini-figs!

[@Tillyard86]

I know, he said the alligator "looked really gummy", loved that!

[@LittleMissJellybeann]

My friend that does dressage summed it up as 'Line dancing horses'

[@Connelly90]

The Lion has been used since even before GB existed. The kingdoms of Scotland and England wore Lions as sigils in the middle ages; England with 3 to compensate for the awesomeness of Scotland's single badass Lion of course ;) Also worthy of note that there are two sort of "mascots" for Great Britain...The Lion and The Unicorn...(they are on the Coat of Arms, and other inbread royal guff)...not a single clue why.

[@JamesMHBurrow]

Lego actually got quite a few of these Lego minifigures right. The only golds they missed off the top of my head are those with a prop e.g cycling, rowing

[@bruhbbawallace]

4 years later, the intro still holds true.

[@nyarlat8455]

Indeed

[@FiniteFr]

can anyone else not wait for 2016 when BRAZIL host the olympics? CAN YOU IMAGINE THE OPENING CEREMONY? :D loads of women shaking there asses with fireworks and drums and stuff

[@reel2real5]

Also another suggested reason is that lions blood is in high concentration in buck fast or bucky, irn bru and most scotch whiskeys

[@TheEpicPringles]

i marvel at the lego collection. Well done sir

[@stargazerblue186]

Yea My Brother has like all the mini figure collections and this one as well....spent so much money on these

[@JoshuaDay]

I know it's much work but it would be great if these and the regular Ashens video's were a daily occurrence.

[@tomssee]

with that logic one could argue that lion is an exotic cat and cats are everywhere so it sort of makes sense. the dealbreaker for me here is that lions actually exist unlike unicorns.

[@BrokenCircus]

I need one of those collection display things for my classic minifigs, never mind the collectible ones...

[@_adomCS]

What's the shelf of interesting items/ lego display song? Is sooooo gud

[@VirtuallyReality]

Ashens should do a video on his entire Mini-Figure collection!

[@DragonHeart00926]

Lol. I loved the opening ceremony with the giant Voldemort and Mary Poppins army! Lol

[@JennyverseLive]

I was going to make a video of mine and got so excited about opening them that I forgot. I got a swimmer and the archer. Still think the swimmer's trunks look a bit dubious from the back...

[@tad2021]

You should get a magical pop shield for the front of the camera for all these plastic baggies of random surprises.

[@TheWafflepvvn]

Hawkeyes attention to detail was MARVELous.

[@DBMONK1]

HOLY SHIT... your Lego collection.... I ARE IMPRESSED!!

[@Necroskull388]

Yes, I know. That's exactly why the name of the setting of My Little Pony is Equestria.

[@Br0teas]

great collection, must have taken a while to collect.

[@ReprovedReaper1]

that's quite impressive Lego minifigs collection

[@Chalky.]

That's freaky that Lego actually can predict the future of Andy Murray.

[@kerbain]

Please don't hurt me but when I was much younger, I did in fact burn a Lego man. Only a tiny amount of flame required and he burnt down to nothing on his own. Covered the room in a thick stringy black mess. Pretty sure I inhaled a lot of it... No idea if they still use the same plastic.

[@wisteela]

Those are really nice, and a great collection.

[@SeizurePorygon]

Cool minifigure collection you got there

[@Thekitty0706fan]

I only have series 1 and 2 of the minifigures, then i stopped collecting them, though i have to say i am jealous of your collection.

[@FatherOfGray]

Holy cow, I request, neigh, DEMAND you make a either a long video or video series in which you show us ALL of your LEGOs one at a time! Who's with me?! =D

[@David315842]

No ashens.com at the end....it's the apocalypse! :D Ever think of coming down to Windsor one day, it will be great to see you in Legoland, pity I live nowhere near there, LOL. ;D

[@VortexMotiveVision]

That's one hell of a minifigures collection!

[@MarcZERO1980]

Does the lion/GB connection come from back when India where part of the British Empire?

[@tiger22angel]

wow so many lego figures i am once again stunned and amazed

[@mattheweldridge4261]

What's the big collection/shelf of interesting items music?

[@Polybius_Arcade]

Wow @ the end. Thats quite a collection of lego figures.

[@pielover204]

Quite a collection you got there!

[@Theboibutters]

Ashens, i love your lego collection :D

[@XCILE625]

Ashen's, go through your whole Lego Figure Collection! :D

[@XCILE625]

You collect Lego Figures? OMG Ashen you are my hero. If I ever came to your house(for some unknown reason), I will rob all of them

[@ikickpies1]

Nice LEGO collection Ashens.

[@iN00bT00ber]

No ASHENS . COM? I was looking forward to that part of the video. ;(

[@ArinJager1]

here we have a two-tailed (mutant) lion as a symbol... -_-

[@niceday2u]

Sweet Lego collection. You should show that off in a little more detail some time.

[@Internetzspacezshipz]

Jesus, I wish I had that many Lego guys lol epic collection...

[@DannyShaubolo]

"Because we've never had any lions living here" Not true Ashens, the royal family had quite the collection of exotic animals including lions and tigers.

[@folixmute]

holy crap, thats alot of mini figures, you should do a video about them!

[@vilmossoh635]

That's a really big shelf you got there. I want on

[@Roxfox]

Niche? About ten million people have bought it and it's one of the most family friendly games to ever have caught on! I suppose Angry Birds still has a leg and a theme park up on Minecraft, but it's still massive across all demographics.

[@TristianHill]

"I was completely lying." I love Ashens

[@IcEye89]

Britain seems to be really into Lego these days. And I am basing that assumption on this video and the video of the fencing semi-final between Germany and South Korea where that South Korean lady started crying which was reproduced in Lego by the Guardian.

[@marconi69]

Ashens, you might wanna preserve the sofa... Looks like the springs are going :P

[@tombomdoodle]

Actually we did have lions living in Scotland... But that was quite a while back. A long while back. Just after the ice age, I think.

[@shabbbsy]

Dude. I love mlp and all but equestrian is the name of the horse events in the olympics. thats where they got the name 'Equestria'.

[@MrEyeballshangingout]

I initially though that myself, but I think you'll find this little guy is smiling, and therefore can't be Andy. We have a saying in Scotland "if you'r enjoying yourself, don't worry, it will soon pass"

[@commandermetal]

Hey ashens, if youcould respond that'd be awesome, but where'd you get the containers? I've started collecting Minifigs annnnnnnd i need to get a storage unit for them, and the display looks amazing

[@megasimp1024]

Relay racer looks like David Tennant

[@RiaruDX]

Hello my Brother.

[@megasimp1024]

AncientCookies Greetings.

[@Shiggedy]

Fantastic set of Lego minifigures you've got there. I'm imagining a room where they're mounted to the walls, but they're more likely in a box to avoid the otherwise inevitable dust problem, right?

[@brookesef]

You got exactly the same mini figure as I did in my first and only pack, I suspect tennis dude is common.

[@chewyrocks]

I never knew that Ashens was such a big LEGO collector.

[@PBJPlatypus]

Mr. Relay has the coolest hair of all of them.

[@ZogXll]

Anyone else blown away at how many lego figures Ashens has?

[@devolve1987]

I would say that they are 2 completely different things. The British use of U is to do with using the french version of the words (something to do with the Normans). The American versions are a simplification, closer to that of the original Latin. It's a choice that was consciously made, neither are right or wrong, it's more akin to a different dialect in the UK. Phished123 has put it perfectly for Lego, it is a brand name, so would not normally take the plural.

[@Cloud063]

i need to get the MARK NUT!!!!!!!!!!! figures

[@salzergon]

Well Stuart, there is no Karate in the Olympics because Karate is spread out in a variety of different schools, each with it's own regulations and rules et cetera. So they'd have to make up new rules and that requires effort. I hope this helps.

[@xX_Thaddeus_Xx]

"Equestrian Lady!" Oh God, what has watching Ponies done to me?

[@Xander764]

that like lego prison where all the bad lego men go and stand in a room endlessly

[@MarvelouslyMarbolous]

the relay person looks like Tom Daley. you should swap the head with the swimmer :D

[@WilliamAncich]

For the relay team you have to get like 4 then just apply different random hairstyles :D

[@Mech610]

Ah, of course. Forgot William and the Normans. My bad. But yeah, that makes more sense obviously. It also brings up, why were the Norman's symbol lions?

[@css687]

You have so many lego characters!:o
