The Magic of LEGO Play Features [ft.

[@RRSlugger]

It was a joy to work on this project with you, even if my contributions are minor in the grand scheme of things! Once again, you've captured pure artistry here and have left me with both thoughts and emotions to ponder further - a true sign of great artistic work. ❤

[@PrestigiousMemes]

I love you slugger 🐌

If Lego play features has a million fans I am one. If Lego play features has five fans I am one. If Lego play features has no fans I am dead.

big mars mission kid here, iirc the glow sucked in 2008 too. always just assumed the trans-green plastic was too dark to allow any significant amount of light in/out. speaking more generally this video was a banger, you're great at lego topics

[@TheDucksEye]

Thank you mars mission kid, my first set was mars mission!

[@roseconleey103]

@@TheDucksEye oh sick! my first was the aquaraiders set with the lobster, moved on to mars mission the next year with both of the little like... $5(?) astronaut sets in my stocking at christmas. which set was your first?

[@docnecrotic]

I thought the colors in Mars mission were neat, likely since I lucked out, though I preferred Life on Mars for more play... even though everything fell apart easily. Mars Mission wins structural integrity there.

[@TheDucksEye]

Mine was the little “crystal hawk” I still have the minifigure to this day!

[@Maniac4Bricks]

This was a fun video, felt like a documentary with all the cameos like your classmate and RR Slugger. The archival home videos and memories shared from childhood were charming and insightful. The creations and stop motion really enforce how playable LEGO is. That's an instant sub from me, can't wait to check out more!

[@Tapperonis]

This video was really wonderful! The intro you made for this made me feel so nostalgic. As someone who used to play with my lego quite a bit, but have fallen away from it over the years, it's made me want to bust out my bricks and build some new things just as I would have done when I was young. It's reminded me of why I loved lego and still do!

[@DeadAceStudios]

33:37 I STRAIGHT UP CHEERED WHEN I HEARD “I’m goin to McDonald’s” an absolute GEM Classic brickfilm right there

[@collegetoycollector]

This is such a good video, I enjoyed every second of it! I was one of those kids who paid zero attention to any kind of pre-established stories and characters that Lego made up, and I solely got sets b/c they looked cool and I just made up my own stories. I would mash all kinds of themes together. I had bionicle b/c I thought they were cool looking, never knew their names. I had ninjago b/c the sets were cool, never knew any of the story. I would get random licensed sets that I had no familiarity with the actual media just b/c I liked the set 🤣 I still think I’m like this when it comes to buying toys, if it’s cool looking, I’m intrigued.

[@docnecrotic]

Galidor joints mentioned!

[@empatheticrambo4890]

Loved the little Bionicle retrospective! Subscribed. - an earlier generation of Bionicle fan

[@the_real_Kurt_Yarish]

So glad you actually read William Penn for your book report, was beginning to get worried there, whew.

[@TheDucksEye]

Without him America would be nothing. Just a bunch of idiots scrambling for power.

[@the_real_Kurt_Yarish]

@@TheDucksEye Yeah, good thing that didn't happen.

[@TheFreakJessie]

Im amazed by the fact that you are playing with Lego in a public park. I couldn't even be seen playing with a nintendo switch on a bus.

[@fatratty2876]

Embrace what you love. Don't care so much about what other people think. Who cares what they think!

[@TheFreakJessie]

@fatratty2876 Perhaps, but when you finish watching the entire chris chan Documentary series. You have that feeling of "oh god, what if I turn into him......" It's like, i want to enjoy the hobby I have, which is Lego. But I guess it's because what I'm currently at. 20 years old, currently in college, for a degree in graphic design and animation. Looking for a job rn during summer. And I feel like I'm awkward in public. Yet those are feelings, and I do my best to socialize.

[@lightningninja6905]

​@TheFreakJessie whoa, you become invisible when you have your switch equipped? I think this needs a nerf, absolutely gamebreaking

[@titanic_monarch796]

​@@TheFreakJessieI think CC is an anomaly. You shouldn't worry about resembling, anyway, because they're mostly infanous for the other stuff imo

[@realkingofwales3917]

​@@TheFreakJessieThere's a wide gap between playing with LEGOs in public and Chris Chan

[@HYPERPUNKPEACHES]

I fw these style Lego videos so heavy, I totally forgot about the 08 McDonalds promo cars! I had like 5 of them 😭

[@Maniac4Bricks]

38:40 that's a good point. There's lots of fast food toys over the years that had stickers. And generally the toy was played with after the food, so your hands would get sticky from the food and degrade the toys instantly before applying stickers.

[@anonymous.3458]

Ok, rediculously niche statement here, but your voice is rediculously similar to spiritofthelaw. (Age of Empires 2 experimenter.)

[@ambleeins_door]

what am amazing video, this is what youtube was made for!

[@nikifilik3932]

Really cool and chill video! Most of the sets I have don't have any unusual gaming features, but among them there is a real gem. It is 31031 Creator Parrot, which can eat seeds, and poop them😮

[@hab0272]

Such a fun video! I remember throwing the lego racers shark-dude out of the window on a handkerchief parachute, which worked nicely. Also fun seeing the scorpion-racer with an actual scorpion-head in this video!

[@SuperSecretBricks]

No amount of high-quality photography, video editing, or special effects can capture the true magic of those clips showing someone building and playing with LEGO. The authenticity and spontaneous joy in those moments are simply unparalleled. Excellent video overall, I'm just highlighting my favourite bits.Your LEGO city and collection are awesome! I think play features are very important. It's easy to make fun of the writing one the box of the LEGO Atlantis Neptune Carrier: "Exciting features: opening doors!", but the truth is those kind of features add a lot of play value to the toy. On another topic, it's similarly as pleasant to find easter eggs and references in a set.

[@das_robin]

11:52 Hewkii is not green, he's a Toa of Stone, so Pohatu's Brown would be the correct comparison here

[@TheDucksEye]

I made an oopsie )’: Meant to have an image of Toa Kongu

[@mrhumbuck_]

Amazing video! Must have taken you a huge amount of work. It was fun seeing so many sets in here that I remember staring at in catalogues as a kid, and even a few I actually had. I was pretty happy with the Mars Mission alien's glow when it was new, make of that what you will

[@Maniac4Bricks]

39:43 that is unless you try connecting a battery-powered motor to a pull-back motor to wind it up faster than by hand, like I did as a kid, amd effectively destroy both functions.

[@MatecaCorp]

I’m so glad I found your channel! The video is awesome! I love the reference to McDonald’s lol

[@grabbaloot]

amazingly joyous video I love it. also... mickey doonalds mentioned

[@empatheticrambo4890]

2:38 I love Space Police III... but I never knew this set had that feature! I feel like that was NOT advertised well in the catalogue or magazines at the time, given that I didn’t know about it at the time. That makes me wish I had gotten the set!

[@M0torsagmannen]

Unitron is the only faction of 90's space i never got a set from, which is odd since Spyrius is one of my favourites and they were contemporaries

[@Chokun-Gaming]

I love glow in the dark‼️ (Masterpiece of a video by the way)

[@Jjgm69]

3:59 and here lads, we can see the supposedly set that Robrick was going to review before he disappeared, I really hope that man is okay and nothing bad has happen to him.

[@pedroemo5477]

22:31 YOOOO I LOVE THAT ALBUM SO MUCH OMG nice i also love samurai jack and im surprised you mentioned both Midwest emo and my favorite cartoon in one video

[@Miscast]

This video was so good.

[@Benny_The_Not_Cool]

Before this video I never really understood why people liked Bionicle. Might have to try that theme again.

[@TheDucksEye]

as a child i hated them so much, the other kids would talk about bionicle all the time and i felt so left out. now I realize they are epic epic epic

[@ThatTarkur]

Why all this metru slander. Vakamas weapon is a gun Onewas waepon are climpibg gear Whenua's weapon are shovels Nokama's weapon are harpoons Matau's weapons are katanas And nuju's weapon are snow shoes? I mean that last might be a stretch but so is Kopaka's sword and shield

[@minerman60101]

Vakama's weapon is also a jetpack 🔥

[@cac_deadlyrang]

7:28 Nah, It’s a _Andrewsarchus_ mech.

[@RogFrog397]

Amazing video ♡ Keep it up

[@kasimalafayet1037]

11:49 but Hewkii is brown, anyway i get what you mean

[@M0torsagmannen]

even as an adult i love for the sets i get to have play features to them.

[@yann_mrl1556]

This video is a masterpiece

[@TheDucksEye]

; _ ; thank you

[@thrillhouse4151]

1:25, hehehe I like that top-left minifigure. Reppin’ the Stingrays face.

[@TheDucksEye]

lol yeah, as a kid that face scared me sooooo much. Now I like it.

[@b34n13b4by]

this is the best video!

[@Cubeysni]

My brother put my vidoe in it!

[@yokaiwatcher8500]

20:54 funniest part of this video is that I had that exact basketball hoop as a child.

[@TheDucksEye]

In an alternate timeline you could have had a super glider…

[@ethancrites6994]

loved the racers theme as a kid too

[@klaykid117]

I love how you mentioned glow-in-the-dark. I don't know why but I absolutely love it. I've got a big pick a brick order of glow-in-the-dark stuff waiting for when I get some more money I just love using a blacklight flashlight to make them Glow extra bright

[@o-donnell]

Get up kids mentioned!!!!!

[@AIFT_Staff]

19:17 there was official minifig parachute before, with exo-force. Not in actual sets, but in online instructions 33:57 isn't it was tool from crystal king set? 49:27 not exactly true, because in 2000s lego started going green, bricks lost their good clutch power, and tires from 2005 going bad right now

[@pattiaufzack]

Still have to watch the video but damn is the thumbnail beautiful

[@jo3y960]

Forgot to mention the glow in the dark Majisto wand has the special ability to create a whole music album 25 years after the 90s. 😂

[@consensuslphisk]

Amazing video

[@Anfernyrocks]

Bring back obnoxious play features!

[@Maniac4Bricks]

30:30 well, there's a first time for everything. 💀

First like AND first comment :)

[@HIIMPIEZ]

Keep up the good work broski, been enjoying your style

[@mavoron]

hewkii (huki) is a toa of stone btw 11:54

[@TheDucksEye]

You’re absolutely right, I realized just after posting. That’s my bad, I love Bionicle pieces, but I’m not knowledgeable about the lore.

[@Maniac4Bricks]

20:53 some eBay listing are wild, lol

[@TheDucksEye]

God only knows what you'd actually receive if you purchased the cursed listing. A little tykes cruiser or a Jack Stone super glider... either way your life will be changed.
