5:01 underneath the mini piece, you can see a vague 4x. I think they accidentally misprinted this step twice, onto the next page.

The error from 7:37 is also found in the 10274 Ghostbusters Ecto-1. Every common printed console piece has had their design updated, but the instructions still showed the old designs. Edit: I noticed the product page on Lego's website has images that feature the old designs, but the copy that I own has the new designs, like the gauges in the City boat. If I look at the part list for this set on Bricklink it has the new designs in the "Alternate Items" section.

[@dabobman37]

I don't know if you've covered this, but the Infinity War 76104 Hulkbuster has you build the same arm twice. But they have you add the sticker on 2 slopes BEFORE you build 2, making it so that you have to swap some pieces. I didn't do a very good job explaining it, but you can go check it out. (It's on pages 71-73)

[@Joe_Potts]

7:55 "If I had a nickle for every time I got the wrong printed tile in a single LEGO set, I'd have two nickles, which doesn't seem like a lot but it's weird that it happened twice."

[@tailsgang6638]

At 5:12 in the star lord helmet you can see that it says x4 in the corner so I guess it was a printing problem

[@davidk.2517]

The lego customer support is really good. I had the fast and furious charger from speed champions, with white stickers instead of transparent ones, so they sent me a sheet with new stickers. Thanks for that suggestion

[@nemnyoom]

lego customer support is just really good in general. i hope they get paid a lot

[@IanOPadrick]

6:30 something pulled the magenta out of that section, to print pure red you mix Magenta and Yellow. You can see the light blue get a hint lighter above that yellow, too. For sure the same problem there

[@ItsMotionTime2]

Another very weird instruction error, is in set 7962 Anakin & Sebulba's Podracers, every time black pieces show up in the instructions, the directions are dark grey. It gets very confusing, because there are tons of black, dark grey and light grey pieces

[@Skull_VrGt]

True

[@SneedFeedAndSeed]

6:27 When printing four inks are used: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Red color is made from mixing magenta and yellow. It seems that the magenta was wiped off by some spill before setting there.

[@Boomblox5896]

5:00 The printing for the little parts list was shifted way off into the previous page it was supposed to be on in that helmet instructions, which was meant to be printed for the page that the four 1x2 round plates are placed.

8:04 couldn't have been because i bought this set October 2023 and i got the normal pieces, but i dont know since its a second hand set i found somewhere.

[@markmierau5189]

at 6:15 it was just a printing error, before printing the magenta either something dripped onto the paper on its way through the press or something dripped onto the printing blanket

[@wolfyg5222]

0:25 I noticed that in my instructions aswell, i had watched one of these the same day i built it. It was part of a multiset pack for $40 on clearance, it was about $90-a bit over $100 worth of sets

[@timoconnell5804]

on 6:15 if you look closely, it seems like something was spilled on the page. Might legitimately be a manufacturing error, but that sort of problem typically happens in the home EDIT: yeah I should've watched until the end of that clip, but I was right EDIT BUT A SECOND TIME: 10:55 I have that set and didn't realize there had been a sticker error. I thought mine was fine but I'm definitely gonna check that, thanks for the heads up lol

The only building mistake I remember getting, was a single piece missing from the front of the Chewbacca Millennium Falcon micro fighter set. Luckily I already have a decent collection of other pieces. So I was easily able to put in the missing piece.

[@joshuaadventures101]

Joshua is sooo excited that you used his mistake in the video!!!!!

[@tbrickman]

I’ve noticed that the rendering of the film coming out of the new 100 anniversary film camera seems off. In some of the renderings, the film roll is just floating in front of the camera, but in others, it looks like it’s coming out of the back of the camera, like it’s supposed to be.

[@thefunydaino3991]

The slipping bricks errors are simply an attachment bug. The brick hasn't been locked with others and during posing all bricks move to their corresponding attachments, except the ones who fail to snap to the others. And because unrendered projects often use dull shadowless color, in a huge cluster is a challenge to notice these things.

[@I_am_vengance_I_am_the_night]

3:06 (3, 3) That isn't illagl tf? thats just a cone on the bottom of the 2x1 lego does that all the time

[@Codclios118]

Speaking of their QC, I've been building for two decades, and have built hundreds of sets. I've never had a missing piece

[@lockheedx33]

7:29 UAV stands for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. I think you're looking for USV, Unmanned Submersible Vehicle.

[@RealGoosman]

5:06 if you look very closely you can see it say 4x underneath it so they just placed the thing of what pieces you need at the next step 2 times

[@sheepythebott]

1:36 Wait! I can see where the 2nd brick goes. It goes underneath right next to the first brick.

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

That Rainbow piece in the thumbnail would actually make starwars sets worth the price they have since Lego already likes to make a Disney princess castle inside of these ships ;)

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

06:50 The colors and shape of the super robot make it look exceedingly similar, but not 100% identical, to GaoGaiGar. They probably used GaoGaiGar as the main inspiration for the design, but altered the colors in some places, and may have drawn inspiration from other robots as well.

[@hiddendesire3076]

In the Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts collector set with mini-minifigures, I had noticed one or two minor steps were left out in like book 3. It is a 1x2 grey slop and one of those 1x2 plates with the grip for holding one of the trees.

[@CrazyCommotion]

So,many,rule breakers!

[@HomyGSD]

1:42 I see the second 1x1 brick placed a bit lower and highlighted in yellow. Not a mistake then

[@SOLAR_x_DUST]

Yep i see that

[@kaiden9226]

3:16 this illegal building technique is used in the new Lego Concorde set on step 487. Spotted it while building it. P.S. it’s a great set absolutely loved building it.

[@EchelonNine]

That's not an illegal technique, because when it is executed with a tile it is a legal connection. It is only plates that are wrongly used in that way because they are ever so slightly thicker than tiles

[@justinvzu01]

The only issue I had with the Concorde is that it’s not very stable. The wings are only one brick thick, which makes them quite weak.

[@themazeecho9336]

@@EchelonNine A tile has the exact same thickness as a plate. The illegal technique comes when you put the stud of the vertical plate aligned with the studs of the horizontal plate, because that causes the extra stress. If you interleave the vertical and horizontal studs, as on this police car, then no extra stress occurs as the vertical stud can fit in between the horizontal ones and the vertical plate touches the horizontal one.

[@carlosss1979]

I was building lego friends 41424 with my daughter and we found a mistake there. The error is in the printed instructions but also on the Lego website. It is the 2nd instruction and number 66. It is a sticker that is stuck in the opposite direction in the manual, but it is stuck correctly on the box. I didn't believe it could happen.

[@TheTrytix]

"Luke Skywalker's lightsaber" As a Star Wars fan, that hurts, because that is Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber, not Lukes... At least it doesn't call it Rey's lightsaber, because THAT would make me livid!

[@Aviertje]

I recall seeing the 'skipped instruction number' a couple of times while doing sets as a kid. No clue which ones, but that's definitely an old issue that keep reoccurring.

[@andrewdobosz3682]

I just recently found a mistake in a parts list for the technic monster jam dragon set, the list says there's only 2 shocks but clearly there's 4 used in the build

[@TrolledBy]

6:30 I've seen similar stains multiple times, and always thought it's either caused by myself or just a one-off mistake that just happened to be on the exact instruction book I got.

Hey SpitBrix, Is putting a tile in the grasp of a LEGO piece that can hold onto the pole and illegal technique? Because the most recent UCS Imperial Star Destroyer has this happen for each of its engines.

[@Squidster35]

For the first one in the batcave set, you can see the outline of the second 1x1 piece in front of it on the piece below.

[@TheOtherGuys2]

I've got one I just found in Lego set 4441 "Police Dog Van". In the promotional images, the lights on top of the driver's roof are flush against the tiles that run along the sides behind them, but in the instruction book and the set itself, the lights assembly is offset one stud forward, adding an extra 2x4 plate not seen in the promotional images or the box art.

[@Spongeyknight6491]

"no one is perfect" and yet if you make one mistake everyone judges you

[@cmusard3]

I wonder if in some instances the Lego company reconciles it would rather duplicate a step than to fix all of the rest of the step number. It might not be a problem they encounter at all, but maybe adding a duplicate step is a way of maintaining the step index when a step has been removed

[@loreraptor5093]

2:47 That was my first ever Lego Set I put together, I was 5! It's about 14 Years

[@WarpigA23]

The 420 Police Car's light on the roof is not a mistake: it was not considered an "illegal" technique at the time. It was later learned that this stresses the bricks, so it's not done anymore, but it was completely intentional. I have that set, and the same car as part of set 560 Heliport.

[@chriscarpenter3370]

the fact that it's number is 420 is just beautiful

1:44 there is a 1x1 yellowed under and in front of the 1x1 placed higher, its just not too obvious

[@P6tu]

I haven't noticed that you would have mentioned one mistake in set 70831 (Emmet's house). In the first book on page 44 there is a mistake of the count of yellow 1x2 bricks and even the assembly cutout has wrong amount, but then in the build it has different amount.

[@diatonicdelirium1743]

The blue plate in set 420 is no mistake. Tiles in that era didn't have a groove anyway, do that wouldn't have solved it. I put a 1x2 trans-dark-blue brick 3065 on instead, looks better and almost fits the era.

[@Rbsk223]

Hi I have found a mistake in the new technic set Yamaha MT-10 SP when attaching the back wheel assembly connecting the shock you have to remove a technic pin that you where told to push in earlier steps I don’t know if that counts as a error

[@scottishcheese13]

0:55 looks like they moved the weapon in whatever app they use to make the instructions, but the sticker stayed in place

[@theemmjay5130]

Lego doesn't seem to have realized that putting a plate between two studs stresses the pieces until fairly recently, as there were a lot of sets of around the same vintage as that police car that did that. I know I have a set from the Eighties that did that in one of the back-of-the-box alt builds.

[@SwitchbackSylveon]

[@legodj831]

In the lego "flying Ford Angela" set, on step 44, all the blue pieces alter shades. The same mistake also happens on step 51. This may just be a mistake in my set, but this happened twice, and confused me.

Looking at the photos of the two-tone brick instruction page, I can see the faint outline of a water stain on the light blue background, which lines up with the edges of the yellow discoloration. If that doesn’t confirm that something dripped onto the page during printing, I don’t know what does.

In the lego ideas Insect Collection set in book 1, step 53, it tells you to place a configuration using a slope curved 2 x 1 notch left and another on the right but the placement is the wrong way. If you saw the instruction it would make more sense.

[@Ninjaguy9999]

I feel like most of the ones where parts are in the wrong spots like the Kai one has something to do with the software they use to make the instructions... I mean if it's anything like Lego Digital Designer, then forgetting to put 3 pieces in a much larger group is pretty understandable
