In a technic car lego set i had to put the small pieces that go on the axle that goes through the wheels, i had to put them on PERFECTLY

Lego should definitely make a set for April Fools day where you have to do something literal as it says in the image, just to laugh along with everyone about how literal somebody could take these instructions XD

whenever an instruction says to put two plates next to each other, I like to imagine you have to push them hard enough that they fuse on an atomic level into one piece

[@PurpleRhymesWithOrange]

The guy who did the 42100 excavator did it wrong. In the instruction sheet the pieces have noticeably less space between them.

[@CalmaxFilm]

Lol I thought the same

[@SynkGD]

damn how could he

[@its_dey_mate]

This guy is the definition of ruining the joke by explaining it.

[@Markiz93]

I remember a Lego Technic set 8248. In the 9th step of the instruction there was shown a weird yellow element, that looked broken. From the first time I thought I need to literally break this element, which fortunately I didn't do.

[@Matt.4k]

I looked it up and it's quite funny 😂

[@OneRandomDragonLover]

You probably would have had difficulty doing that, Lego is supposed to be virtually indestructible by normal means.

[@gameclips9881]

my friend used to think that you had to built sets by looking at the image of what it should look like when it is done. I'm not joking. It took me 10 minutes to explain to her what the instructions are for.

[@TheProwlingSleepster]

I remember always looking at the instructions, tipping out all the parts, moving my head back and looking very puzzled like the little LEGO guy in the instructions does

[@joshslater2426]

It’s quite the disheartening experience when you’re building a set with someone else and your only instruction is just to materialise one piece on the table and do nothing.

[@zhulikkulik]

For #1 - It's coin trick but taken to extreme. You need an absolutely flat surface and insane dexterity to do it, but it's possible.

[@tylisirn]

Yeah. I was impressed that they managed to do it on top of the instruction manual pages, which is very much not optimal surface.

[@Sirenhound]

2:40 they spend all that time lining them up and didn't bother to line up the mixer barrel

[@Strike2-9245]

pretty much all lego sets of the technic category asks you to make a stud go straight in at some point, so once, just for fun I put it in a wrapped piece of paper and blew on it and it flew away, I had to use my own small replacement kit (people genuinely should have a small box with all the easily lost pieces) to fix that

[@oceanbeans8546]

Honestly the squares of bricks I would do exactly like that as a kid. That’s just how it’s supposed to be

[@landonftw238]

The first time I ever touched a Lego set my (much) older cousin was helping me build the set and she was fully convinced that if we did not set the bricks exactly as pictured that we would build it wrong and insisted that we place them exactly right. Needless to say we never finished the set and I never built one with her again since.

[@pauljeffzafra]

I once took the instructions literally on a lego technic set and copied and mimic the exact orientation and rotation of all the kinds of technic pins

[@Paragon13]

Does it count if on the 'most pieces added in a single instruction' (add 264x 1x1 blue transparent studs, Ship in a Bottle model), you count the pieces as I think there are actually 265

i am always messing things up when i am building something quite bigger thanks to those intructions

[@MuSic-ok7dh]

My version of literal instruction: When building sets (technic), make sure all the pins, axles etc are oriented *exactly* like in instructions. All pins with slots vertically? Absolutely make them vertically! Technic frames? Those have orientation too! Ofc all the gears must be turned like in instructions.

[@technopathic7597]

Thumbs up for the guy that got that thing standing still!

[@benjaminnickerson3961]

For those technic sets, it does make sense to lay them out in neat rows for easy counting, before using them as loose pieces.

[@GarryDumblowski]

So, this is... sort of on topic, I guess? In the Lego NES set, the way the set makes the "animation" on the TV screen work is by using a ginormous tread construction which turns when you roll the crank on the side. The build for this tread is extremely long; it will probably make up a good 2-3 hours of the building process, and requires probably at least a thousand pieces. The instructions imply you can build the entire tread construction using only the contents of bag 13. You, uh, can't do this.

[@melody3741]

[@rancidrage8837]
