I've got the bottle ship sitting on my shelf, and I never actually counted all those blue studs to make sure I've got 284 of them - I just dumped all of them in that came with the set. So in that sense, that was one of the easiest Lego building steps that I've ever come across 🙂 As for the Eiffel tower, you'd need to pay me VERY handsomely to get me to build that monstrosity. Or, as a german Lego KZbinr put it: "the best way to build this set is to get 4 friends together and have each of them build a quarter of the whole (which is possible, because it's symmetrical). When they're done, you build the flag and put it on top."

[@patrickdix772]

The bonsai tree is similar to the ship in the bottle, it just has the extra steps of pour 4 colors of tiles into 1 bag, shake, then pour into the pot of the tree.

[@hanzocloud]

Yeh u always get spares for tiny pieces, so for sure you have more than 284 studs in there !

[@joecremer3633]

I recruited a friend for the Eiffel Tower haha

[@scottthewaterwarrior]

I felt the amount of "water" the ship came with was actually a bit too little, so I dumped maybe 100-200 more 1x1s I got from the pick-a-brick wall in too!

[@Quincy_Morris]

You didn’t count out all the studs? Illegal build

[@callmetony4399]

The bonsei tree while relatively simply has some of the hardest to make out instructions ive ever seen on a lego set. Everything is brown on brown and unless you have a bright light shining directly on it Everything blends together

[@brittanyhuffman3701]

That, and if you decide to do the cherry blossom version of the leaves, the meticulous and repetitive placement of tiny frogs and cupcake swirl studs on all of the branches that are combined with other branches and then combined again with more to create one of the 3 larger branches of the tree is insane.

[@jjurss7263]

The Super Mario NES set has a pretty brutal part. The background on the TV has a mechanism to make it scroll so it looks like Mario is moving. Putting that background together is brutal, it's so many 1x1s of all different colors.

[@drgirlfriend211]

Yup…. Done that! I think it was much worse to do that than both the daily bugle and the avengers tower

As someone who builds custom LEGO mosaics, I can attest that it requires a certain kind of person and a special kind of patience. After the design work is done and the building has begun, I usually put on a podcast and work an hour at a time, once per day, for several weeks.

Just last night me and my dad shoveled out our neighbor's sidewalk because they have 3 little kids and didn't have time. We didn't expect to get anything in return, but the dad rushed out when we were about 3/4 of the way done and handed me a knock-off Lego M4A1 Sherman tank set that his kids apparently couldn't figure out, and their wife handed my dad a 4-pack of wheat beer. I never would've bought that Sherman with my own money, but I'm enjoying building it, even though it was missing a few pieces that I had to find replacements for from my own collection of loose Lego.

[@karens8633]

knock off bricks are horrible with their missing pieces and bad instructions! Someone gave my nephew a bucket full of police vehicles, it’s all black and gray pieces! Needless to say most of it is still in the bucket!

[@sambrown6426]

@@karens8633 While I won’t disagree with you on the bad instructions, and some of the pieces needed a bit of help from my jaws to properly seat, there were no missing pieces, and everything was nicely bagged 1-4, with smaller pieces in their own bags inside the larger ones, just like a real Lego set. I even finished it in 2 sub 1-hour building sessions, and I'm decently pleased with the result. It's no Brickmania kit, but it's decent enough. The minifigures even have working knees, leg and back printing, and their shoulders actually have 2 separate joints, allowing them to swing out to the side in addition to how a genuine minifig's arms move.

5:14 "There's one section of it that made every builder groan". Speak for yourself. I enjoyed this part just as much as the rest of the build. It looks amazing and was fun using the "straight edge" trick to get them all lined up.

[@Craxin01]

I'm kind of surprised how many Lego sets have loose bricks in them. I was made aware of the ship in a bottle set only after completing the Lego Bonsai set, which has a bunch of flat round brown studs in different shades to represent the dirt surrounding the roots of the tree. More recently, and after being made aware of the ship in a bottle set, I assembled an iris set, which also has a single withered root sticking out of the pot along with multiple different brown pieces to represent dirt. I will say, both are very nice looking sets. Almost got a rose bouquet, but someone got to it before I could, and I didn't have my own vase to set it up in.

[@spudpotato7488]

thankfully my brothers and I have come to an agreement. any Lego set that is huge and overly repetitive we will work together to build them.

[@punbug4721]

The Lego Pyramid of Giza was fun to build. You'd think the exterior of the pyramid would be mind numbing, but something about seeing the progress being made was pretty cool to see one level at a time. Definitely felt for the Dagobah set though, having planted many a tree and bush along the Nile in the earlier bags of the set.

[@harrodharrod5239]

I see you haven't seen the instructions for the microscale big Hogwarts castle (71043). The entire rock part is one giant "spot the difference" game, since the instructions don't highlight new pieces and it uses 3 very similar (especially under artificial light) tones of tiny bricks.

[@TekuTaurus]

It's a really cool set, but I think what dissuades me more than 270 windows is the fact it's *five hundred dollars*

[@Kriyonix]

It probably doesn't compare to the steps mentioned in this video, but assembling and attaching the mechanism for folding the wheels into the car on the delorean was very finicky and took a bit of messing around with where the gears meshed for it to work right.

As much as I loved building it, the Mos Eisley Cantina set has a step that is done probably 20 times throughout the build using a 2x1 plate, 2 studs, and 2 1x1 plates to make custom bricks that are textured. The tedium comes from those steps and the astounding amount of beige in that set. Again.... I loved it. Just making that one brick so many times for texture got really old 😂

[@NoBody500xL]

But those are not really "the worst" instructions... "the worst" would imply that there is a better way to give those instructions. There simply isn't. I'd rather call them "the most annoying instruction steps". Also annoying instructions: - the blue backside of Van Gogh Starry Night [21333] (don't do it at night, it has 4 shades of blue, it was difficult, you really need good light) - most stickers ever in a set by size: Speed Champions Mercedes AMG F1 & Project One [76909] - you have 52 stickers of which some are used twice (sticker 1 & 25) - and again, we are talking about Speed Champions size! - literally every Lego Arts set, which were just pixel-art sets made with dots... like the world map - big sets above 350€/$ can get very annoying, because they are repetitive due to their size and architecture, especially stadiums (I own the colosseum and I was very happy finishing it) - all types of symmetrical sets, such as chess boards, architecture...

I specifically remember building the rotating screen for the super mario bros NES set. it's got everything awful: a long chain, a *lot* of technic pins, many many plates and tiles to build the sky and ground of the stage, and a couple specific placements of certain plates that are difficult to locate if you don't do things systematically. it's definitely one of my favorite sets ever released, and absolutely my favorite in my collection, but wow that was a long night lol

[@AbbieAcheson]

The Wizards Chess lego set has a ton of repetition. Once you get the ground work done, you then have to place 128 white and black 4 by 2 smooth tiles on top. You then have to build 2 kings, 2 queens, 4 bishops, 4 knights, 4 rooks and 16 pawns in both colors. it’s a very tedious process but super worth it in the end. plus all of the characters that come in the set are 100% exclusive. love your videos and keep up the good work

[@jujujameson]

The fact that 284 lego studs is how many get molded each time and the story of the guy who wanted 300 of them is fonna remain in my brain for an eternity. Im gonna be telling my grandkids this

[@Aviertje]

7:10 Does the Bonsai count? Regardless of whether you go green leafy or cherry blossoms, they are both very repetitive in their own way. The cherry blossoms are probably slightly worse because the white leaves are smaller and combined to cover the same area of the larger green ones, but in either case, the green leaves or pink frogs and other details are hell to put on. Worse still is that try try to make you do this as the very last step when everything is already on the tree. Combined with the supporting branch being repetitive also, there's nothing about this build that isn't an exercise in patience. (Or if you are actually smart, you just assemble all the leaves and leave putting them on the tree until you're done decorating...)

[@lmb9790]

LoL. The dagobah Jedi training was my first Lego Set (as a grown-up) i got it as a gift from a friend 2 weeks ago for my birthday. I was really hyped, since i loved Lego Star Wars as a kid. So after almost 20 years after my last built i've spent six hours without a break to finish it. It was an amazing experience, and i had a really good time, but building the "swamp" out of the small green pieces made me almost lose my 💩. When i finally finished the whole project, i just stared at it. I don't know why, but it still had the same magic to me like 20 years ago.

[@aydenjenkins8760]

The 2002 UCS Imperial Star Destroyer has one step that is super tedious. Step 19 on pages 24 and 25, you are tasked with building 18 plates with lots of small greebling elements that take a long time to put together. And at the very end of the step, you are tasked with going back to the very start of the instructions and rebuilding the entire structure again. So in total you have to build 34 plates full of about 270 different greebling elements, along with building two large structures that hold the model together. It takes such a long time.

[@Qduacus]

Thank you “Most replayed” feature.

[@Roperational_YT]

I know they will never stop doing it, but I just hate when there’s repetition in a LEGO set, it is just so boring and just sucks the fun out of LEGO sets for me ESPECIALLY when you build something and then at the end of you building it, it’s like “Great! Now build another one.”

[@adambrown8923]

The most annoying Lego set instructions for sets I’ve built are definitely the mechs that tell you to build an arm twice, but don’t tell you to do it inversely otherwise you make two left arms

The Rivendell roof was actually fun, it was so satisfying using a bigger piece to line everything up. Honestly the gazebo was the worst part of the set, the roof was fun

[@brittanyhuffman3701]

Talk about the Cherry Bonsai set! You have to put together a ton of branches coming out from other branches with tiny little "frog" blossoms and flower bud studs in specific locations, and you have to repeat it 27 times I believe. Also, the cherry blossom stem sets are pretty crazy too. It's so hard to tell which direction it's facing and which pieces were added on in which places after bulk creating a bunch of the blossoms with 4 or 5 different pieces over and over again
