YouTube sent me a present! (Lego related… a brick-built Play Button)

[@TheRealAvashAh]

Never expected youtube to make fake lego

[@MinifigJez]

LOL! - TBH I doubt they made it. I imagine that there's a 3rd party organisation working for their marketing team, making them.

[@TheRealAvashAh]

@@MinifigJez But wouldn't that count as yt making them?

[@MinifigJez]

@@TheRealAvashAh I suppose it would

[@chubtree1892]

@@MinifigJez how long does it take to build?

KZbin proving they dont ignore small channels is awesome

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, I was truly surprised. I thought it was a cool thing to do. (I wonder if they send the same emails to HUGE channels too?)

[@Never2old4lego]

What makes me mad is that they don't offer this in Canada. I wish someone would speak me the parts list and instructions 🙏

[@MinifigJez]

They might have offered it to Canadian creators too. But it seems pretty random who they send the "High Five" emails to. I've been over the 1000 subscribers for over 2 years now, and I think I've only had 3 "High Five" emails. - The first two were a free coffee from Costa, and a free sausage roll from Greggs, this was the first time I've had with the offer of an actual item.

[@Never2old4lego]

@MinifigJez yeah I contacted them they told me high five is not offered to us in Canada

[@EmperorRata]

Never knew KZbin made those. Congrats

[@MinifigJez]

I didn't know either until they sent me the email. But since then I've seen a few other people who have been sent them.

[@user-bj9nw5wf5n]

Congratulations Jez. That’s a really fun exclusive build, and that building technique is super unique as well.

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, I really liked the technique of have studs out on two parts and then joining them together. I'd never seen a technique like that in a build before. thanks for the congrats, and thanks for commenting

@@MinifigJez Your youtube milestone?

[@MinifigJez]

@@pinobluevogel6458 They didn't send it for any particular milestone, they were just sending them to any KZbin creators who signed up to get one, but had very limited numbers of them, so it was first come, first served! Thanks for commenting

Many thanks

[@bricks_in_space]

Very cool option from KZbin honestly. Congrats on the new datapoint. I have heard of a couple of manufactures of Lego like bricks that a number of the non-Lego companies use for their sets that have pretty good quality. You made the right choice for free gift.

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, M&Ms would have been nice, and the little play button tin was really cool, but with my channel... there's no way I couldn't get this one !

[@manchuriamapping-1638]

Someone get him to 100 likes!

[@MinifigJez]

They listened to you... currently it's at 121 !

[@dom0_2007]

Awesome :D Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MinifigJez]

Thanks so much 😀

[@Mini-League]

So cool! I want one!

[@MinifigJez]

Well, all the parts are available in real Lego, so you could have a go at making one yourself.

[@jacobbuildsLego]

Do you know if any creator can get this if they are a part of the partner program

[@MinifigJez]

Only if KZbin send you a "High Five" email. Normally its a free Costa or a Gregs Sausage roll, this time is was a KZbin gift! I've only ever had 2 of these emails, but I have seen other creators on KZbin get an illuminated LED Play button and a light-up "On Air" sign - but I've never been offered those. I don't know what KZbin's criteria is for getting a "High Five" from them. I don;t know if it's based on views, subscribers, length of time as a partner, number of videos uploaded... for all I know, it could be anything!!!! I hope that helps. -Thansk for commenting

[@jacobbuildsLego]

@MinifigJez thanks for the info

Thanks!

[@ilovecats136]

I wish I had that, but I suck at making videos😢

You could always get the parts together and just make one yourself.

[@ilovecats136]

Sadly, you sped it up, but I know a way to fix it

@@ilovecats136 You can always pause or play it at a slow speed.

[@Jase-Isbell]

I hope I can become this big that I get some presents from KZbin themselves!

[@MinifigJez]

Keep at it, I never thought I'd have 14K subs when I started my channel. You never know how your channel will go unless you try.

[@Blazing_Ninja]

Thats so cool that youtube does that! Congratulations!

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, I don;t thin they do it that often, but it was a cool thing to get.

[@myrandommindtv]

That's honestly amazing! Never knew that existed! 😮

I had no idea either until I got the email. There don't seem to be many made and given out.

[@INfinITY13983]

Better deal than the real subscriber button

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, and I've already got this one, I won't be getting a 100K silver button for MANY years !!!!

[@kylelopez629]

KZbin play, but I’m so cool. Maybe KZbin will send you another LEGO® Play button

[@MinifigJez]

I don't think that KZbin would collaborate with LEGO® to send out real ones, but I could always get the parts together and make one myself.

[@OrdinaryMarioBrosOfficial]

KZbin’s doing this a lot, I must have one

[@MinifigJez]

Have you seen other videos about them? From the KZbin High Five web page, it seemed that there were only a few thousand of them, so I guess there can't be more than that many KZbinrs doing it !!!!

[@TronIsBlack]

Cool Form KZbin but I prefer yours

[@MinifigJez]

Thanks. I prefer mine too, but it's nice of YT to send me this one, even if it's not real Lego.

[@morganisapro8k]

i chose the m&ms, they were good! well, actually, chatgpt chose them for me 😭 I COULDNT DECIDE, OKAY?

[@MinifigJez]

You say "illegal" I'd say... "Brilliant technique" ! Illegal techniques normally just refer to things that out stress or strain on parts when they are using in an improper way. These are being held together perfectly legally.

[@Coolwave1235]

coooooooooooooool

[@MinifigJez]

Thanks

[@zaqgamingstuff]

Does it connect to real LEGO?

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, all the same parts as LEGO®

[@ariochiv]

Kind of sad that one of the largest corporations in the world can't spring for real Legos. Not sure whether that says more about Google's miserliness or Lego's obscene prices.

[@MinifigJez]

It may just be a legal thing that they can't do an official collaboration with The LEGO Company? Who knows what hoops you have to jump through to team up with them!

[@ariochiv]

@@MinifigJez It's possible that Lego demanded some kind of unreasonable sum for this, but that seems unlikely to me, given how dependent Lego has become on brand collaborations.

[@MinifigJez]

@@ariochiv yes... I guess we'll never know. It's just great that all the parts used are also made by Lego, so anyone who wants to can make a LEGO brand version! - I have actually built it in Bricklink Studio, but not entirely sure where I stand, with uploading it to Rebrickable!!!!

[@BrickedUp-d9h]

Crazy a billion dollars company can’t sent a 50$ set to someone and has to send a 5$ fake

[@MinifigJez]

Yes, but we don't know if there was an issue with them wanting to do a collaboration with Lego? Lego can sometimes be quite picky about who they team up with.

@ yea been hoping for a Stan Lee fig and a halo line but mega got there fist cus they turn anything into a set
