What if it FAILS or I RUN OUT OF SPACE?

[@805Traveler]

Eventually switch the Star Wars “Shelving” room into a Star Wars “Diorama” room!

[@805Traveler]

Tattoine Scene, Yavin-4 Scene, Death Star Scene, etc.

[@craftyhobbit7623]

Mos Eisley and the Tattoine desert can easily be done.

[@user-gw3ll4lo5e]

Yeah, take all those sets that are roughly in the same scale and put it all into one big diorama, would be so much better than being on a boring shelf

[@Cariboobrickcreations]

Great idea! A LOTR diorama would also be cool

[@TipperProject]

Yeah imagine the sail barge in the desert, scenes going on in mos eisley, so many figures and cool stories could go on! That would make those sets 10x better like the city does to modular buildings.

[@Prewarpostwaramdmore]

A layout is never finished. Continually changes as you go

[@ErikTheOkapiYT]

Turning the studio into a Lego Musuem in my opinion's a great idea. BrickCrafts has done the same thing a while ago; his friends operate a Lego store & Star Wars room/diorama on the first floor, while the Lego City's on the second floor. They also have an airport, volcano, Wild West MOC & an Island/Castle MOC as well.

[@barbarawalls9040]

Everything changes, nothing stays the same. You can't sit here saying " what if". Just do it the best way and have fun.

[@BricksieTalks]

Gotta diversify and be adaptable for sure.

[@PAL.Studios]

If you fully develop the medieval area, then I would love to see you build a Jurassic Park style island off the coast off the city.

[@SimonLaudati]

Enjoy the process, no need to hurry, we’ll be here in two weeks, two months, two years, just enjoying the progress of this amazing project. You might never end and we'll still be happy

[@EMR-DESIGN]

Don't forget one of most things that will consume a lot of your Lego time in the next coming years. And that are your children growing up and all that comes with that. Going to school, help with learning thing, going sports, dad time who has to be there with them, or have dad time at home, etc, etc...Not to put you down, but to be aware that will cost a lot of time too.

[@dannyl-p1543]

Another question you should be asking yourself is "What if LEGO fails me?"... Lego could be going slowly downhill... Every drop these days, it seems like they are pushing their luck, raising prices... You have to think that at one point, the popularity and buyers will start going down because of it... And with that going down, your channel will too...

[@Theotherotherguy-36]

1:17 “What if there were no more what ifs?” Master Wu

[@brickademy]

What I see most big creators do is diversivy what they do. You got KZbin covered, do you focus enough on a members program? Do you have a webshop/fanshop? Do you have a building course via instagram, etc. All that stuff helps you be less reliant on youtube and his alwyas changing algorythm

[@brickademy]

With that said, ordering parts etc, opening a bricklink store or your own personal website, can allready be done. And you could make a video about it as well each week, so we can follow that progress. Would be good content and a way to diversivy

[@musicunites]

I rarely comment on your videos but have been watching for years. These are healthy questions for your future. A few things to note. Space: You have so much space and the city is already 6 months of building with plenty to go. By the time another 18 months pass, you’ll likely find old parts of the city you’ll want to upgrade or swap out. I’d be surprised if you touch the other rooms within 2 years. Next, “what if KZbin revenue disappears”: You are the perfect age to start investing for your future self. Dividends, Investment Property or even Crypto. If you can find up to 5-10% of your YT revenue to start doing that with, over time you’ll be surprised how it gradually grows. Then years from now you’ll have your own income that gives you freedom to choose your direction. In the meantime, keep doing what you’re doing. The channel is great! 😁

[@BricksieTalks]

Indeed, I've been investing in index funds, precious medals, and real estate since I was about 14 😃

[@musicunites]

@@BricksieTalks nice one! In that case you’re at least a decade ahead of most. 👍🏻

[@shapeofsoup]

Don’t mind me, I’m just imagining Alex Nunes popping up in the corner with his “Space!” Shatner impression.

[@thomasferdinand5816]

Too funny

[@FlyBikeCampAK]

Unless you own the building you are subject to the whim of the property owner. If they decide to upgrade, tear down, or repurpose for the purposes of greater revenue opportunity your studio is only as future proof as that external entity will permit or as willing as you are to accept increasing costs of tenancy. Also remember the unique thing about KZbin is that your patrons don’t pay anything to enjoy your work; they just have tolerate periodic ads or pay KZbin to not be bombarded by Ads. Your channel exists as a means to market other businesses through exploitation of your viewership. KZbin, at its core, is an advertising liaison firm.

[@mauritsvanderlee7092]

Don't forget! You can always continue to build up or down. The floor/table size isn't the limit. Build to the ceiling!

[@TheBrickTwins2024]

You got this Bricksie. Your kindness and zest for LEGO will never allow you to fail! - Brick Mom

[@dc5330]

Make 1 display room a revolving diorama of Lego themes that you build and tear down. Themes throughout Lego's history (Monster Hunters, Western, Minecraft, Pirates, Ninjago, etc...)

[@ricardob859]

You can always make the main table bigger instead of a separate diorama in that room, that's a lot of space to add, than like you said, more improvements, more details, etc. I love your project, it's definitely the Lego Chanel that I spend the most time watching. I know you've been spending the last days doing the zoo, but this is my least favorite part of the city until now, I prefer to see the animals loose (those that at least make sense, even if it means expanding the green zone a little) and use the zoo space to add a darker side to the city, construction, stranger things, hocus pocus, batman, use the mountain for a custom batcave maybe? anyway keep up the amazing work!!

[@FlyBikeCampAK]

As appealing as continuously making more dioramas is, I think the practical future is dynamically updating and evolving a set number of dioramas. That ensures nothing becomes stale or static. Plan to deconstruct elements of the dioramas every year and build new installments. Just like a real city. Nothing stands forever, nor should it in LEGO world. Then the LEGO city perpetually evolves over time and people will keep coming to watch you for same reason they come now. This isn’t train modeling which has more permanence, it’s LEGO. Play comes from building and to a lesser extent from interaction with the completed product. If you ever went the open to public museum route, it’d have to be interactive. There is exponentially greater interest in interactive museums than there is “look, don’t touch” museums.

[@coreymatthewbennett]

It looks like you'd be able to expand the LEGO city at least 3 base plates both in front and in the back. I don't remember the exact width, but I believe at one time you said it was 17 or 21 baseplates wide, so that would be an additional 102-126 base plates you'd be adding to extend the city. Then you'd not only have additional city space to develop and I'm sure you'd be doing a ton of rearranging. It would probably give you another 6 months of developing.

[@natalyabaich4006]

I'm only asking because I honestly don't know the answer to these questions. No disrespect is meant - at all. I love your channels and everything you stand for. If you were to open up your location to become a museum, how would you keep people from stealing your stuff? You have some extremely valuable mini-figures with your sets and some of your displays are small enough for people to steal. The same would go for your LEGO City. How would you keep people from disfiguring your hard work or simply destroying it? Not everyone has good intentions when they go to places. If they don't have the money for things but see an opportunity to steal it from retailers, a lot of people do just that. You cannot be everywhere or watch everyone as they come in. It's just not humanely possible. Could you put locked glass display doors on your shelving units as a deterrent? As I said before, I mean no disrespect. I have worked in plenty of brick-and-mortar retail stores and know all about theft. I would hate to see anything happen to all of your hard work and investment. Much love and respect to you, Mrs. Bricksie, Benjamin, Millie, and of course, all of your fur babies.

[@mcfly7]

100% you will run out of space one day.

[@tondenooij6774]

He's gonna run out of space when he's going too fast. He always want to go fast because he's impatient

[@WildWombats]

Everybody has their own pace and budget. My main limiting factor is budget. If I had a higher budget, I'd surely build more too. I wouldn't call spending time on your hobby "impatience." He spends a lot of his day working on legos, it's not that he's speedrunning it, it's more that he spends a lot of his days on it for long periods.

[@Hammerbricks]

You could always extend the mezzanine floor and turn it all into two floors 👍

[@tinalynnmacisaac1487]

You have used your studio space amazingly. Never say never...maybe in the distance future you may open another location. It's good to dream.

[@justinzietlow1929]

Hopefully your business grows. U deserve it. With all the hard work. And maybe down the road one of your neighbors moves out and u can expansion

[@chrisb9082]

No matter what happens to the lego studio. Excited to see the journey!

[@mattiamontanari]

You can build dioramas inside the enclosed shelving. Building Tatooine or the space

[@TT-Bricks]

As a moc builder with a much smaller room and like you see many other creators like yourself I build a big moc and after it finished you destroy and build something new. You do you but I would just scrap the city and castle Diorama and start over. You could build something completely different Or enlarge something you have in your city. Like a massive zoo or amusement park.

[@zoltannagy5325]

Hi! Whenever it will be finished (city probably never), the museum thing is very convinient possibility. Maybe not every day but two days a week.

[@tarond57]

Have you thought abiut going 3D if you run out of spce ? Continuing the lego city at the same heigth as the mezzanine for some kind of "mountain village" even if you don't run out of space, it'd be crazy to have part of you city at the heigth of the mezzanine in the little square between the stairs and door connecting to the rest of the city with a mountain road. You could make some kind of "access tunnel"(1meter wide walkway) to get to the stairs

[@michellechrisman9084]

You could build small dioramas around each of your sets where they sit. Another idea, you could make small dioramas in each of the cubbies under your diorama tables or the ucs tables. Look around you can build small things in all your nooks and crannies.

[@Zayzon188]

If you're worried about leaving the doors to your storage and bathroom open, install a door closing device on each of them, it doesn't full close them but it will at least do enough so you don't see in, I have one on my bathroom door. Its a little thing that goes on the top hinge.

[@alonewolf190]

I want to see you make an epic Star wars diorama. I think you would make an epic kashyyk or naboo

[@rx1-thorn615]

To make a little more room, hang some of the ships, and make them look like they're flying. That'd look pretty cool, just a thought to help.

[@screennamemissing]

Still plenty of space above AND below the city to expand! Deep ocean... deep caves.. planes flying.. SPACE SHIPS xD endless possibilities!

[@805Traveler]

Even if you don’t set up a storefront… an idea for you… partnering with a youth STEM/STEAM nonprofit organization or school; and hosting annual or biannual/quarterly tour(s) of your Lego city?

[@tomcarr9692]

If you ever did run out of space you can just create a mezzanine above your existing city. Can add lights and then hang airplanes etc from the ceiling above the existing city. And it would give you a duplicate footprint above then

[@lucapietrangeli270]

Your gonna be just fine buddy. Even if all this goes under-your gonna land on your feet, adapt and overcome. Believe in yourselr, enjoy the journey and keep going. Ya'll got this!!

[@ColossusCounsel]

it would appear some skyscrapers in the city need to be replaced with other skyscrapers such as the cube building with a spiral tilt cube to the top.

[@vamite07]

The City can continually involve and change , it’s all good .

[@Yogi8156]

make a ocean and incorpete the jaws set and place your pirates ships with a battle scene. Make a huge lego moutain to place the new goonies set when it comes out.

[@mistresspaige2670]

In this situation you can’t infinitely build dioramas in a finite space. Eventually room will run out. What I do is rotate what I’m displaying depending on how I feel at that point in my life so I keep things fresh and I never run out of room. And any parts I’m not using anymore I just sell on bricklink

[@counterproductions1594]

You should make a small skyscraper section of the city with the mountains in the background.

[@khalidalawadhi4520]

I feel like you could increase the diorama table size towards the back, then connect it to the city, so that the city becomes bigger. IMO connecting them gives more life to the display tables than just having standalone unconnected dioramas.

[@mikeymansome]

The city will grow and change as much as you want it to! Keep enjoying yourself brother, and embrace your creativity.

[@Elizabeth-foolishmortal]

I think building a diorama of a Star Wars Land would be creative and fun.

[@colors6692]

He does not have that kind of creativity!

[@r_stooge]

oh man, you won't run out of work. once the footprint of the city is maxed out, you're improvement and additional detailing of the city over time would be a great direction.

[@Lesiunta]

Don't forget, you run out of room on the main section of the studio, you can always go down below the table and create train and metro tunnels, or even caves.

[@ForburyLion]

Rotating Diorama - I've seen a rotating model train diorama, the train was going round and looked like it was stationary as the layout moved round

[@Hey-hey-hey123ABC]

Hey Bricksie hang your Star Wars sets way above the city and it would be like outer space

[@Matt-ul7pr]

Have you thought of just moving the whole lego city forward and extending at the back?

[@scottc3270]

Maybe you can plan to make a StarWars dioroma on that table and that would use sets and they wouldn:t be just sitting there , the same with your other room maybe you and Ms Bricksie plan out to start doing a Dsinsey or Marvel dioroma in the room something to think about !

[@legobricksbe]

You can still do a museum richt know easy money cash for more Lego to expend love it

[@dinibo]

I hope someday you are able to find peace in your own talents. You have hundreds of thousands of people who believe in you. You have graduated beyond what ifs, now you just need to decide where you want to go with your projects. The audience wants to go with you because we believe in you and your dream. I can't wait to see where your lego journey takes us.

[@mrwillb3227]

Start buying the neighboring units :) no need to move just knock down walls and expand.

[@jakevelasquez5399]

Have ever think about making ninja and winter village as different town? And medieval table as island to your ciry

[@BrickaLot_YT]

If you run out of space for big dioramas or you want something different to build, then you can build small detailed noseplates for the sets on the shelves.

[@elliotmason2911]

Here's my not very well thought idea for future space issues. After 5 years of "Lego City" we move on to Star wars and build a massive Tatoonine/Hoth/Dagobah/Endor diorama on the big tables. Then when that's finished build a big Hogwarts/Gotham City/Disney animal Kingdom on the big diorama. Destroy and rebuild to the Nth degree takes courage but there are so many options and exciting projects once you have the courage to destroy and store it all and start again.

[@kdr6065]

Don’t forget in the real world there aren’t any complete cities. They’re constantly upgrading.

[@apogeeav9839]

this whole time i didn't know you had 2 channels... wow now i have more videos to watch😭😂

[@billyskoda6839]

You could always send the Brick heads to the charity shop to free up space..? 😂 Seriously, with you for the ride as we are planning the same scale or larger project in Germany, but for ww2 landscape and vehicle storage

[@Onewiththestud]

It would be cool for the centre of your shelve rooms to have the sets turned into a diorama eg Star Wars battle with the shops or avengers battle with those sets

[@rica93]

Man, you WILL NOT FAIL! I'm pretty sure of it!!! I love your content and as i comment on other videos, i watch you EVERYDAY and i enjoyed it a lot! For SURE there is a LOT of people who do the same and LOVE what you do like me, your safe!

[@JHKS72]

If someone, like you, has that experience, skill and vision... it is like money on bank. If I own Lego, i wake up and ask you to make new sets for everyone to build

[@liamshustle]

Could put the sets on shelves dotted around the studio on the walls, would be a good way to create even more space without compromising losing some classics sets within your collection, just a suggestion, keep up the great work :)

[@Hey-hey-hey123ABC]

You could blow out the walls to the rooms from the warehouse and continue the city right through also !!

[@BricksieTalks]

Meanwhile.... mezzanine collapses

[@danielsundstrom7964]

Build lego support for the mezzanine 😂😂 @@BricksieTalks

[@WYO_Dirtbag]

I'm saying a small hole, only needs to be the size of a train between the studs. Then have one of the rooms be all countryside, have the small hole covered by lego mountain on both sides of the wall. Train leaves the city into a mountain, comes out the other side into the countryside. Would be pretty neat. Also a small hole like that would be trivial to patch if you ever needed to.

[@serennosquadcast8297]

If you made the front rooms a retail shop, it would have the coolest Lego city display in the back 👍

[@kernalmustard353]

Not enjoying building sets is the perfect time to build MOC's for your city...I think you, like me, like working on the city because you are building what you see in your head...apply that to MOC building...with sets you follow instructions and everyones finished set looks the same...if you are building MOC's for your city you are in essence still working on your city...for a while now you occasionally bring up how you should start building MOC's and i think the time is now...i get it how there are thousands of different pieces available in all different colors so you will never have all the parts you need so maybe learn Studio 2.0 and build your MOC's on that first...there is nothing like sitting down with a bucket of parts and unleashing your creativity but Studio 2.0 is still enjoyable once you learn how to use it...give it a shot

Frankly your ability to make income is MUCH more secure than salaried workers these days. I've been laid off several times in my career, any job can end at a moment's notice. I believe what you're doing is much smarter and much more sustainable than working 9-5 for any company. Having other options and revenue streams is smart of course, you never know when the algorithm might change and screw you over, but being in full time employment is absolutely no safer.
