Here's an obvious Lego obsession: Lego loves putting their stud shooters in as many sets as possible, especially Star Wars. And they tend to put them in sets that don't really need them

[@Allthenamesweretaken17]

and they refuse to make guns/tanks/military stuff for minigigs

[@frendamikoto]

because its an easy play feature that kids like... its not an obsession theyre just appealing to the target demographic. which alot of you seem to forget is children

[@brandonscott5544]

EXCELLENT USES LEGO PIECES.

[@doctorcreeps2169]

definitely true but its because its a fun play feature for kids nowadays they use a lot less of them though, and around 2020 minifigures have mostly gone back to the regular blasters and guns and they’ll usually be on vehicles as weapons. again, they are play features so it makes sense and the newer style stud shooters look a lot better anywau

I bought the Bonsai tree just to have something chill for the holidays, and when I opened it up and saw all the frogs I was baffled and loved it too.

[@rye1371]

yeah i got it for christmas and didnt know there were frogs when i opened it i was super happy lol, i love frogs and its funny to me.

[@errorduck]

Agreed! I purposely used the frog option for the bonsai because I love the frogs

[@tuzurch1203]

Another obsession I remember, was Lego would place a coffee mug or coffee maker, into every set possible. But maybe that was just the Lego city sets.

[@jaxwarp8373]

Several of the Power Miner sets had coffee/soda machines, and the rest either had a sausage or a banana

[@danstratyt]

[@beesus1412]

the dark grey frog was used in the 2005 lego harry potter graveyard duel as part of a headstone. could be a literal frog or not but still a strange use of it

"Why is LEGO obsessed with the frog, sausage, carrot, and banana pieces?" Because plastic molds are expensive and the more use they get out of them, the more they earn back on that investment.

[@TrueMishamol]

Even if they were cheap, I still like the trend, because it shows versatility of lego pieces

[@dumblegore2403]

Yeah Lego is no stranger to expensive alright. They’re really hurting for cash when making molds. We all know the sets are priced as they are because they use that gourmet plastic.

[@Sans_Official.]

Did you comment on the wrong video?

[@screamingcactus1753]

Sure, but as shown in the video many, many more frogs are being used as things that aren't frogs than are, even in applications where there may be existing pieces that technically fill the roll better

[@Pikmin_does_things2818]

Lego KZbinrs always bait kids to think the Lego frog is Legos obsession but actually it's possibly cheap to print

[@zyxaqc]

Another reason for the abundance of Batmans (Batmen?) is the fact that before the DC Superheroes line LEGO had a standalone Batman theme from 2006 to 2008.

[@TipperProject]

Which also had the pretty popular lego batman game.

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

Lol, 'batmen'. Sounds like a club

That Bonsai tree set turned out really nice, but it was SO PAINFUL to put together. The cherry blossom branches alone took me over 30 minutes. Worth it tho :)

[@PolyChromium]

It makes sense that Batman is so popular compared to other superheroes, because both him and his rogues love their vehicles, gadgets, and cool lairs. When you think of the Joker, you think of abandoned theme parks; when you think of Penguin, you think of the Iceberg Lounge. You don’t really get that for many other heroes or villains, so you don’t get as many ideas for sets

[@starpokeheart664]

The only non batman villain in dc thats also good is lex since he's always make some kind of machine to destroy superman

[@sonicguyver7445]

In the last Jurassic Park wave, each set had a different color frog integrated somehow. The brown one was part of the poop pile Dr Saddler dug through. The Batman thing I think is two fold. One is that he is a very recognized character. Two is that he had more vehicles and gadgets than anyone else, thus easier to make sets for. And I always loved how in Lego City Adventures the Mayor dressed as corn with no explanation. I always thought a good joke would have been if the two political parties in Lego City were The Veggie Party and the Animal Party. Thus everyone running for office wore a vegetable or animal costume. And rather than actual politics they used something more basic. The veggies, like Mayor Flek focused on hard work, while the Animals just talked about how cool they were for picking their animal costume.

[@A59ri]

The dilophosaurus one had a frog as a leaf, the brachiosaurus had a pink one as a flower, and the visitor centre has another pink one as a cake topper. Very cool.

[@realdragon]

It would be such LEGO joke if politicians just argued which costume is better. Honestly more entertaining than real politics

[@joshuaharris328]

Nobody ever mentions the frog pieces being used in the modular fire station set back in 2009 as hat hooks. That was way before the jousting set mentioned in the video!

[@philliplam2704]

Wow never noticed!

[@HomemadeArtistry]

Ah, I'm so glad that The Ambush in Cairo set was mentioned! I remember losing that brown carrot piece for the longest time when I was young, but did end up finding it!

[@ToneLive]

i had that set as well, always loved the tommy gun that it came with.

[@bananajesus9960]

I really love the frogs as the table legs in the joust set. Their shape fits the whole look of those weird curvy legs that some tables have so well

[@d4n737]

Obviously, reusing plastic molds is logical, it's a company. They gotta make money, they're gonna cut costs. But its actually kinda genius. In more than half of these sets, I NEVER noticed the frogs being there. They're just frog-shaped enough to be frogs, but vague enough to be anything you want!

[@dougthedonkey1805]

Wonderful video, I’ve always loved creative use of existing Lego pieces but didn’t know about any of these examples. One quick correction though: the “dragons” are lions, hence the name of the Lego set. Lions are generally operated by two people, whereas dragons are operated by many more.

[@Goatman_Gamer]

Frogs were also used as heads for the gargoyle statues in the Batman Arkham Asylum Breakout set featured later in the video.

[@calebmezenberg137]

I just see it as them using molds more efficiently rather than making a bunch of new ones for small things like clubs and the set designers being creative with them, that or the designers are always hungry and and trying to sneak food into as many sets as possible but I think it's the first part

[@spudmaphot]

Frogs being used as the pistil of the Orchid set blew my mind.

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

Such a rich great color too

Lego LOVES putting lego bricks in their sets for some reason

[@willofthewinds3222]

This video is how I realized that the torches in the Indiana Jones sets were carrots. I legit never noticed before, that was just the "wood club" piece

[@I_love_fun_ART_]

About the frogs, hotdogs, bananas and carrots, I don't think lego is obsessed with them. I think they are just good for details.

[@edopronk1303]

The frogs are an inside joke, the (or some) designers do make it a sport to include it. The others I agree with you.

[@ahmetdag5600]

Lego batman, was one of the major characters in Lego movie and the leader of classic minifigure people on the second movie . Definitely Lego is obsessed about Batman.

Cant forget about the Mug pandemic in lego city sets.

[@zoeblopaistinpannu5278]

i can imagine John Lego slamming his desk in anger whenever he's unable to include a completely pointless frog in a lego set

[@caspianchan2371]

My addition to the batman obsession: batman is a character who is designed to have a lot of toys in his dispoal. Various batmobile, batplanes, and other bat-stuff. Other super heroes just dont rely on them often. Even iron man usually has suits.

[@klegos]

Eggs are also used in some interesting ways. Off the top of my head, I can remember that a grey one was used in an Angry Birds set to decorate an engine piece, and in the Succulents set there was a literal handful to use on a cactus.

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

Lego should just make an entire set where all the Minifigures are just frogs.

[@Filikon_animation]

For me is the biggest lego obsession in putting golden katanas to ninjago sets

[@JL-rt1ce]

In 2009 the Fire Brigade 10197 was released, were the frogs were used as holder for the firemans helmets. So the unique use of frogs started way before 2012

[@santerial]

Frogs are amazing, I love those lil dudes.

Wow, I thought that Lego using the frogs in the 30th Anniversary Jurassic Park sets, were just nods to the Dinosaurs being cloned using Frog DNA. Using a White Frog for shaving-cream foam is a great idea though.

Does anyone remember about 2-3 years ago when Lego designers had a slight obsession with hiding poop in the sets? Like they would put that little brown ice cream swirl EVERYWHERE.

One might say LEGO has an obsession with anything that they can mass produce cheaply and in bulk. It means more LEGO for anyone who collects it, so I certainly don't mind acquiring more of it! 😁👍👍

[@TripleXMango]

9:20 I think the batman obsession has a lot to do with playability. Superman isn’t really all that exciting as a toy, as all his powers come from within. You could have some fake eye lasers, and breakable objects for him to smash, but the fun doesn’t really go much further. Batman on the other hand, has an immense array of gadgets, vehicles, outfits, weapons, and buildings. I could list off potential sets only Batman could produce, afforded by Bruce’s infinite wealth, but they’re probably already sets.

[@angrypotato_fz]

Good point! Also, Batman might be more relatable. He doesn't have any special power, he's "just" rich and agile - and a kid may aspire to become rich and agile, unlike becoming a hero from other planet.

What surprises me is that although LEGO, who loves doing Batman stuff, is currently doing a Crossover with Fortnite, which in the past has done crossovers with DC to release 4 Batman skins (Excluding Batman who Laughs as he is more Joker than Batman) yet they have yet to make a LEGO versions of the skins for use in Fortnite's LEGO gamemodes!

At one point, it was speeders/tiny vehicles. Everywhere they could add one, they would.

[@mensowvm2]

I think Batman is their favorite simply because batman is best suited for lego sets due to all of his vehicles and gadgets. Whenever a superhero like spiderman gets a set with a vehicle, it just doesn't make sense, because spiderman never uses a vehicle. Same goes for a lot of other superhero's.
