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

[@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

[@VegaTomoshibi]

On top of that you have make the base like a giant chain that connects together so it basically combines two tedious build types in one lol looks great when completed tho

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.

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.

[@cammyvu-pn6ej]

I built this set also and I did the bonsai instead of the cherry blossom and I made the mistake of building sort of late into the night because I kept taking breaks and it was for my dad so I wanted to finish it, at around 11:00 pm everything started merging together in the instruction booklet and it all started looking like brown mush. I guess what I’m trying to say is I completely agree with your comment and I feel/felt your pain.😂

[@sambrown6426]

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.

[@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.

[@unprofessional-laser]

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.

[@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.

[@jonothanthrace1530]

I just looked at the Pyramid set and I love that it actually resembles what they think it looked like when it was built.

[@thecarnivore3799]

The Lego Orchid set was one of the most tedious that I dealt with so far. The steps where you have to make the petals with forks and shields really require some dexterity to do.

[@brittanyhuffman3701]

Yep, that was right up there with the bonsai tree for me.

[@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.

Yeah, that was really frustrating! I've built enough sets to know what extra pieces to expect, so imagine my surprise when I see 3 more cheese slopes than I was expecting...

As someone who despises repetitive steps, the Avengers Tower never stood out to me as having any. Maybe it's the way they break up window construction and placement with floor and set dressing construction, but I kind of got excited each time I got to build and place more windows.

[@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*

[@allenbergman1123]

My Imperial Star Destroyer set, the 10030 one, without the minifigures, has a nasty part, requiring you to prefabricate the same piece over and over again to line the ship's sides.

[@globetrotter7778]

Having built the Architecture Taj Mahal, I can confirm *everything* that you said. It is indeed magnificent, but those 33 "checkerboards" are indeed repetitive. I still highly recommend the set though.

[@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. The end result is seriously cool and makes it worth it.

i remember the white house ideas set being pretty brutal with the windows, lots of 1x1 stacked on top of eachother

[@joylee-landi1390]

One painful part of a build was the lego stratocaster guitar. I don't remember which step number it was but you have to wind the strings up but they're only attached to a 1x1 stud so the studs easily full off so you have to redo them, not to mention the strings don't sit perfectly on the fretboard

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...

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.

[@staciecarrel4492]

I put together that Taj Mahal set yesterday. For that step I just put all the blue plates on the build, then put on all the tan tiles in a checkerboard pattern, then filled in the other studs with all the white ones. It was a little repetitive, but easier than tiling each blue plate individually with tiles from two bags 34 times. Also to make it go faster, when I had to build the same thing multiple times (end of a block of instructions “x4”), I built them all at the same time.

[@thomask4978]

Ah yes, boring and repetitive tasks. Just like in real life 😂

[@TXnine7nine]

My favorite will always be the Van Gogh “Starry Night” set. It has no fewer than 4 shades of blue brick and unless you’re building it in an area with a clean white natural light then it can be difficult to tell the differences in some of the shades. Oh and they make up roughly half of the entire set. 😂

[@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

[@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.

Though it's not a Lego set, Brickmania's F-22 Raptor had two very tedious steps. The very first two steps took me roughly two hours combined.

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

I have a tedious intsruction: the Lego Ideas Fender Stratocaster has an amp that calls for 86 grill plates on the front.

1:30 same thing can be said about Lego set 10315, the water pieces have to be placed in a certain orientation
