One aspect of it I think you failed to mention is how the thickness of it doesnt align with anything else in lego. Most brackets extend put exactly half a plate outward, and the snot bricks allow you to extend out by one plate. But with this piece it is something like 3/8ths of a plate outward. On the one hand it cant be used with any of the other snot techniques, but it allows you to get the tiniest of difference in height possible on a surface in lego.

[@Olego]

I’ve actually encountered this in my research, but I couldn’t find a good place to fit it in; the unique thickness is definitely something unique that could work for some MOC builders. Also, a cool thing is that there’s actually two versions of the piece, where bricklink categorizes it as thick vs thin back. I’m pretty sure the thick and most recent version does actually align with other brackets: x.com/NewElementary/status/1158732721906245632

[@GlobinHD]

@@OlegoThats pretty cool, I’d never noticed they updated that piece, I guess I haven’t gotten any new sets with it. Also I’d never heard of an LDU as a unit in lego measuring before, but I guess I was right in my initial assumption of it being 3/8ths of a stud lol.

[@jonpgale]

Nice informative little video here! The old and new versions are indeed different thicknesses and neither of them actually fits perfectly in-system with the other parts! That can be both useful and frustrating in different ways! There’s also a version with a technic connector instead of a stud connector which can be helpful in some situations

[@anothergol]

@@Olego yeah it's already 5 years old now. Also it only aligns on the back side, the neck side will always be a bastard one. There is also technically a part designed to properly hold everything neck, including heads and neck brackets, it's 24445, which is rarely used.

[@Osai1234]

Only veteran builders would understand how rare this piece was back in the day. it would come in *few* special sets and if that piece broke you would be digging through your Lego bin for hours..... just to not find that piece.

[@Olego]

I swear I still can’t get enough of them to this day!

[@ShinyHunterCel]

As a fan of Lego trains, I like using upside down neck brackets as lamp irons

[@Olego]

That’s a cool usage!

[@pinkraven4402]

my main takeaway: more lego pieces should have holes

[@Olego]

Real. I’m genuinely surprised how neck brackets seem to be one of the only pieces with that type of hole

[@pinkraven4402]

@@Olego I like that there are a lot of modern modified 1x1 round studs with holes in Speed Champions line, which I am a huge fan of. They really allow for more flexibility and possibilities of much more connections

I use this piece in some MOCs but I never knew it was made for the minifigs haha makes sense. I find it super useful for doing pretty much anything else

[@q_thelegocreator4191]

This piece is used on a lot of transformable Lego Mocs that I've seen, they provide a thin sideways stud with a very flexible connection

[@Olego]

Nice, that’s pretty cool!

[@hiddendesire3076]

The Neck Bracket piece is great for remaking Animal Crossing furniture pieces.

[@Olego]

Nice!

[@iammrbadguy9706]

For me they are nice to give figures accesories. Especially knights, if I want them to carry a spear behind their back or a bag pack, that is build out of studs.

[@Olego]

Yep, that’s probably the most conventional use

[@LanternsLight]

I use the neck brace for back packs.

[@Olego]

Yeah that’s probably the most conventional usage of that part

[@bradsbrickpost]

Awesome tips! Great video!

[@Olego]

Thank you so much!

[@hellomynameguy]

It was always a good piece for me because i had so little of these because they were so rare in lego sets(i remember i had one from the ultimate spider man vs the big sandman set)

I agree, I can never get enough of them!

[@siegeperilous9371]

Lego science. I love it

LEGO science is the best type of science ;)

[@diamondopower]

The fact that this piece turns basic lego pieces into SNOTs is already enough to rank it high

[@Olego]

Definitely

[@brickste746]

For me,the most divine piece I used a lot was definitely the wheels. It can be used for planes or cars if used professionally but the rod pieces were much more useful than the wheels

[@Olego]

Ah I see!

[@beatrixwickson8477]

Great video! This was really helpful. A piece I would love to hear creative uses for is the rigid short shirt piece (65753). It's a cool piece, but because it's designed to fit over leg studs it doesn't have any other way to connect with that sized hole. I feel like there must be some way but it's beyond my expertise.

[@Olego]

Interesting, I’ll definitely look into it!

[@WattoXtreme]

Bro I gotta hand it to you. You make some good videos. Especially for someone so young. (I can tell bc your videos from the couple of your videos from last year that I saw.) Also your videos have drastically improved so mad props for that. And the Lego KZbin space is very over saturated, so congrats to you for finding your place.

[@Olego]

Right

[@scottthewaterwarrior]

I have built many a MOC using this piece, often connecting them in ways of dubious legality.

[@KrissFliss]

Police? Yes, this guy rigth here ^

[@Olego]

Yeah I only mentioned the legal ways of connecting them in the video, there are probably countless of illegal ways to use it!

[@scottthewaterwarrior]

@@Olego Generally none of mine risk damaging the parts like some illegal techniques, but they are often very flimsy connections. Like I put one of the neck brackets on top of a brick, then placed a cheese slope on top of that "connected" to the teeny tiny bit of stud sticking up through the bracket! It only even kind of works because I have other parts on top keeping the cheese slope from going up.

@@Olego shame the "neck" connector would break sometimes though

[@hypocritehaterofficial3283]

The neck bracket is close to being perfect only if it didn’t extend below the stud. Watching later into the video, I forgot about those usage of the end of that bracket, but I remember having to cut just the end off because it was in the way of making a perfect model.

[@Olego]

I think there's some merit to the extra space for filling in gaps and extra detailing, but a second version that doesn't extend could definitely be useful as a direct substitute for the normal 1x1 bracket
