Unboxing Secrets with the Creator of LEGO BIONICLE: Christian Faber!

[@AllOutBrick]

It's truly captivating watching you live out every Bionicle fan's dream and reveal so many pieces throughout Bionicle's history! How generous of Christian to not only invite you there but also the preparation of materials on his end to make it as fun as possible!

[@cpafol]

Probably the most refreshing thing about this for me is that Christian is as much of a fan as all of us!!

[@STICKOMEDIA]

Fr legendary moment

[@SuddenlyOranges]

YOU'RE LIVING THE DREAM BRO

[@Matter_Of_Fact]

👋

[@TheDarkFuryKnight]

Yo what's up

[@toaquiroh3767]

hello oranges

[@BrokenNooby64]

hi orange

[@meutainer8696]

Hail Denmark!

[@ahchiu9]

OMG, Faber using the stairs backwards in honor of Duckbricks. That's AMAZING and proof that he really does value you and your content

[@myselph1761]

Chris is truly a kid in a candy store. His giddiness is so contagious, I had a huge grin on my face throughout.

[@thisvampireheart1]

I'm not even a huge bionicle fan but same, captivating the entire way through, the enthusiasm was infectious.

[@Bionickpunk]

If any fan should obtain Christian Fabers Lego Archive, it should be you. A dedicated high affinity fan that is part of the community and showcases everything Lego related, especially Bionicle, without just storing it in a private display. You made history with many of your projects (development videos, collection videos, contests, etc.) and this will also make history.

[@talonmccauley5445]

1000% agree

[@justsomeguy5628]

Definitely. The only person who I believe has a collection that actually rivals his is the owner of the Bionicle Archive, though he does not really have any online presence.

[@bricknan]

Watching Christian blow away Chris with his generosity is amazing and seeing Chris drool over the amazing collection is wonderful 😊 This video is fantastic, you were very lucky helping unbox and arrange this awesome collection!

[@OhHeyItsAlexx]

He did it. The crazy bastard finally did it! I especially appreciate the 2 1/2 hour length of the video.

[@bubble1506]

Bless Mr.Faber for offering us insights into some of the coolest stories ever made and for making our childhood amazing. Also the casual drop that the great beings were humans and the hero factory lore is insane.

[@alecusay]

Rob is like chris's mom watching him play with faber

[@DuckBricks]

LMAO Robert was a saint sitting through an entire day of having no idea what was going on

[@andrjsjan4231]

I didn’t get it?

[@SupersuMC]

​@@andrjsjan4231 I think Rob is the camera man.

[@Gwagia]

This is the Way....Of the Bionicle. The world needs Bionicle. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@RetroActionUK]

In the time before time the team DuckBricks descended from the US to meet Christian Faber, the creator, in Denmark. A collaboration began as together they uncovered and preserved the history of our favourite theme. For this is the way of the BIONICLE.

[@SokodaYT]

Just finished watching, and what a ride this one was. The excitement, joy and hype on display here just radiates not just in you, but in Christian Faber as well. And of course all the interesting info, super hyped about all the Bionicle and HF stuff especially. But also those prototype Exo-Force models are absolutely insane. So much inspiring stuff. Thanks so much for bringing all this to us and all your efforts Chris.

[@DuckBricks]

Glad you enjoyed!! Think you’ll be recreating some of those prototype Exo-Force sets, like the jet? 👀👀😄

[@SokodaYT]

@@DuckBricks Hmmm might have to look into that. A bit hard to make out all the details with the picture we have, but I could try to build a MOC based on it at least... 😄

[@taoyizhi]

The most amazing thing is that this guy was behind everything I loved as a child, bionicle, racers etc. truly inspiring.

[@kismetfast4674]

Can't believe I watched the whole thing! The amount of work he did, a great artist too! Chris' expression says it all!

[@alexjedi13]

This is insane, it's so cool that he was willing to share all of this with you and he seems like such a nice man, you're literally living the dream

[@Jawarulez]

MR MAKUHERO WAS ONE OF THE TOA CANNISTERS THAT WERE SHOT INTO SPACE THAT NEVER MADE IT TO MATA NUI, MR MAKUHERO IS VORIKI OH MY GOD

[@torchilicho]

I’m so happy for you, dude. You deserve it. You made all the bionicle fans proud.

[@nghoangviet2322]

OMG WATCHING THIS ENTIRE VIDEO IS LIKE EXPERIENCING A DREAM ASLEEP!!! SO SO AWESOME!!!

[@skeletonpatch]

This is amazing. I love that you can tell Chris' heart-rate must be high this entire time just from the way he's loudly breathing the whole video. 1:02:43 I have that Technic set with the two punching mechs, have the box for it as well. Unfortunately it isn't complete, the green Technic figure is missing along with several pieces of the green mech. My gramma got it at a garage sale and gave it to me one day when we were visiting them, was probably one of the best surprise gifts I'd ever gotten.

[@brunoivanmonteslopez3035]

Whaaaat???!?!! Duck bricks Never ceases to impress me

[@cultureminister]

He is right about the amount of effort you put in popularization and presentation of history behind Lego products and I am personally grateful for having such enthusiastic member of community. After 6 months watching your videos I can't wait to complete my hot toys collection so collecting Lego will became more affordable lol. I am convinced now to have all sets from my childhood be nicely displayed with good lighting and this is your fault. Thank you for amazing video and congratulations on this insane trip!

[@LeoxandarMagnus]

Hail Denmark! I can’t wait to comb through the scans myself when they’re up. I can’t imagine feeling those pages for myself.

[@StoneDomino]

I love LEGO Aquazone, so seeing that store banner is so cool! I still can't believe LEGO didn't make their first underwater theme until 1995!

[@GravityTrash]

Im amazed that Faber wanted to give this all away, I would give literally anything for a prototype Zaktan

[@FranciscoSelma]

1:15:00 One piece from the Rahkshi finds it's way into the Style Guide

[@kindred84]

I'm not even into Bionicle. I am old enough to remember it existed, just never got into it. But your enthusiasm is infectious.

[@Amon0016]

This is just absolutely incredible! I'm so in awe of this! So happy for you and Faber is just such an awesome and amazing person.

[@Flammberger]

Bionicle, Drome Racers, Aquazone... this guy did all my favorite childhood stuff. ❤ The green roboriders wheel is no prototype btw - its from Set 8000 Pit Droid.

[@46Ran-ga]

2:00:18 "who are the great beings?... it must be us" OOOOOOH I FEEL VINDICATED IN THIS CHILIS TONIGHT this whole video was incredible, theres so much going on, you both seem to have had the best time of your lives

[@timetravlin4450]

This is awesome! Sounds like such a wonderful human and brought so much joy to my childhood! God bless you guys!

[@s4dpanda703]

In the styleguide, the color guides are Pantone colors and then it also shows CMYK values. They still translate all the internal LEGO colors to Pantone and other values for licensing partners.

[@skeletonpatch]

*BS01 editors type furiously in the distance.*

[@Mediados]

Interesting to finally get a face to the brand. This guy just casually carried Lego for almost a decade before they stomped his world into the void.

[@WombatCombatPictures]

Finally getting around to watching these videos, I'm so happy for (and jealous of) you!

[@cpafol]

This is AMAZING! I can't wait to full on dig into this video and see all this amazing memorabilia 🤩

[@JaveyGravy]

Mann, I'm experiencing this vicariously through you, I'd be drooling over all this the same as you! Still kicking myself for not buying that '01 banner back when I had the chance!

[@JonnDthunDer]

Holy WOW this is the best crossover I could have ever asked for. I can’t WAIT to sit down and actually watch this tomorrow

[@lennytartaglia3305]

I’m so happy for you, buddy. I’m jealous!

[@Autisticguywithacamera]

So awesome! I love the UFO comic, I had no idea things like that even existed.

[@ennih9411]

Your excitement and appreciation is so nice to see ❤❤ I bet Christian was so happy

[@augsdoggs]

I really thought that Chris was going to faint at several moments throughout this video. What a cool experience for him! And how cool of Christian to acknowledge his biggest fan in the way that he did!

[@seeker_rodan3113]

The past week ive returned to my childhood with this channel. And wow, it was even deeper than i thought. I recalled all the sets ive built and still have my OC still. I want to accumulate them once again, and maybe give my OC a retouch

[@tawftygo4470]

So the Bionicle dream just evolved....

[@kirboioproductions74398]

Bro is actually living the real dream

[@CptNoms]

This is crazy man happy for you and thank you for sharing this with us.

[@nickt9467]

It's gonna drive someone nuts when they try to build that set in the promotional box and they don't realize a piece fell into the marketing binder

[@z5TEELz]

That was hands down the best video I've ever seen. I didn't even notice it was almost 3 hours long. The 2nd camera wasn't necessary though and was messing up a lot.

[@Diamond4403]

What a dream come true.

[@Lambdaleth]

Take a shot every time he says "Oh my Goodness". Seriously though, awesome video and I can't even imagine how this must have felt to experience!

[@motionsuggests]

Me when I go back to my mom's place for Christmas break and open up the Bionicle bin

[@kismetfast4674]

Great to see Chris' reaction to all of the Bionicle collection!

[@Anthony-mp6xu]

Really jealous you got to see those racers Ferrari promo posters/art! The Lego F1 Pit Stop set was one of the very first lego sets I remember getting at age 3 or 4.. genuinely cool to know that these exist because I would have never known otherwise, thank you duck bricks for arranging this.

[@Soul_May]

Brother forgot to make the audio stereo

[@hiroprotagonitis]

fr thought my right ear was buggin

[@charlottesimss9853]

I’d be so hyped to see Hero Factory concepts and lore dropped. I remember when it came out I knew there was some real potential for a grand story but Lego kinda dropped the ball on the story. It’s so cool seeing its connections to bionicles vibes

[@Ricardo-kv5tk]

I really miss Bionicle , this was an awesome video!

[@TakaTahuNuva]

Oh my god, this is incredible. Can you get a 1-on-1 interview with Farshtey next??

[@The_Yeet]

Watching Chris lose his mind is the funniest thing to see.

[@sparkside217]

Man I wish we had that copenhagen biking infrastructure in the US

[@EinfachNoah]

i wish hed put all of that in a gallery or museum of sorts so we could look at everything in person

[@benjamindavey4782]

Wow, this is the equivalent of getting a golden ticket to Wonka's chocolate factory! But you guys so deserve it- I'm glad you all had such a great time!

[@octav1600]

If he worked on Aquazone, he has my thanks. The submarines there made my childhood magical. Always loved Bionicle as well, but Aquazone was my favorite hands down.

[@donnysss]

im glad something so phenomenal can be archived for bionicle fans to look back on

[@TahuRaisao]

This video brought tears of joy to my eyes.

[@dimitri-petrenko]

I wasn't really into BIONICLE that much myself, nevertheless I had different ones throughout the years. I remember everyone having them, even people who usually did not play with LEGO it was such a hype. Knowing BIONICLE saved LEGO makes this video very special and also seeing the passion you have for the theme is heartwarming.

[@dtinagliastudios]

What a beautiful video. Such a great experience, so so so happy this exists.

[@ToaKoran]

2:09:50 "This is so rare, the red pakari!" Dude, the Pakari has some of the most common recolors, the only ones more common being the Kakamas. If any masks are rare it's most of the Kaukaus.

[@snugmode]

2 hours of pure joy I'm not even heavy into Lego but this was so great to watch thanks for all your hard work!!!

[@sonicrashyugioh]

This is awesome. When worlds biggest lego collector saying these you need to watch: "never seen it before." "not see it sealed" "what is this?" "so cool!"

[@soupbeansvintage-mindy9215]

I never was into Bionicles, but your enthusiasm!

[@youhavememanyard]

Amazing content thank you so much duck and Christain

[@Brakzillaa]

crazy how becoming a master has opened so much doors. Super excited for the future of DuckBricks!

[@BC-wd5ut]

I saw on Christian Faber Ig that he own a couple of Hero Recon chestarmor on his own mocs

[@DuckBricks]

He offered to give me one! But there was no way I was taking home a piece from a Faber MOC haha so I declined.

[@BC-wd5ut]

@@DuckBricks you're so generous man.

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

​@@DuckBricks😊..man so amazing priceless moment s so so lovley of him to offer you some thing s for your own Bionicle collection..that Manny Bionicle fan s.would die for to have them I'm Shaw ..this vid and the pt 2 is a Shaw must wach .for Anny Bionicle fan ..an even tho into Lego even if knot know much about Bionicle. 😊

[@Mityman64]

Legendary collab

[@girlypopvampire]

Legend says that rahkshi piece is still in that book 1:15:00

[@surgemirai]

this is epic stuff we never knew was a thing its so awsome to see

[@AnomalyAlter]

This blows me away Every set pulled out of the boxes is taking me back to my first memories of seeing them over 20 years ago. Every time and every place I remember vividly Seeing what was and what could have been with the man himself. Astounding To call Christian Faber here our George Lucas or Tolkien is definitely no overstatement. I hope he really understands what a profound effect his creation has had on us fans that grew up with it. It is more than a toy, Bionicle is like a state of mind

[@aaronmolloy6934]

One of my favourite types of videos is watching people truly nerd out. There's nothing purer than watching someone just completely turn into a babbling mess over something they love.

[@o00nemesis00o]

Called it! Christian Faber was behind Drome Racers. Long live Maverick!

[@tristindurocher-batley4780]

Bionicle was a big part of my childhood my personal favourite sets were the visorak

[@gggggggh9497]

Great video. Christian Faber really cool guy

[@Lemuel928]

The Mata Nui of the Bionicle Universe himself.

[@UNTRCBLE]

It's safe to say that anyone in your place would've spontaneously combusted.

[@Chiberus]

We do not deserve our wholesome Bionicle Grandpa. God Bless Christian Faber.

[@qaqeb5225]

i love love love seeing a fellow fan living what we all dream!!!

[@TheCrackingSpark]

56:01 "That's your private collection...it's glued together..." 💀

[@jakubstefan5700]

Maaaaan, this was lovely.

[@gnomebob]

such an amazing wealth of lego history! I do wish the video was edited a little better, there is some repeat footage and other issues. Maybe a shorter re-cut version can be released later! Congrats and thank you for sharing this!

[@laurencemichaelbennett2506]

Extremely awesome video brought back some good times, its a shame a lot of the promo stuff is and was often destroyed or tipped in skips back in the day

[@unicornhotelskipton2045]

Just love this content good on you duckbricks

[@mturzanski]

This is insane, truly awesome. My first ever set was Pohatu Mata!

[@fenixman2]

He is actually living THE dream. You know the one.

[@TheDarkFuryKnight]

This is so awesome, kinda of my dream except in my dream you would be able to buy multiple copies of everything that existed in Bionicle including prototypes and concepts and you can find them in stocks in supermarkets and GameStop

[@carmineredpigment]

I love the "Got Milk?" ad with Takanuva

[@TheRetroVendor]

I’m in love with the small Roborider cans 1:21:49

[@skeletalhero]

great video, wish you would've edited the audio to be mono though

[@bruhfeld9600]

1:26:10 keeping this bookmark here

[@wescatifyacard]

Hearing Duck just hyperventilating through the whole first 30 mins from seeing everything sealed is so funny to me, man is truly living in fantasy land 👀 📸

[@Chefbigpp]

Did you ask Christian about the lime joints and why some Metru canisters have glitter?

[@o00nemesis00o]

Lime disease turned out to be a problem with microscopic bubbles in the plastic mix, possibly endemic to the chemicals in the lime paint.
