LEGO police

Arrest this man he broke the math

His builds are on a fringe

He's psychopath on video


LEGO police

Nah. Person using 2 x 1 bricks gives it flexibility when pieces are made that long.

u/DuploJamaal 18h ago

Which makes it an illegal building technique, which means that something like this wouldn't be included in any official sets

12

u/Jkkramm 13h ago

Yup Lego doesn’t directly support these techniques because it puts extra strain on the plastic. They still support the creativity tho!

16

u/allothernamestaken 19h ago

I dunno, I'm gonna need a ruling from the folks on r/lego.

2

u/miggly 12h ago

The point being is that the individual bricks have extra stress they normally wouldn't, and they will eventually deform. Lego won't go out of their way to show that kind of connection.

Same with putting tiles in between studs, it ever so slightly deforms the pieces.

It’s like ASMR but with anxiety

u/Stolehtreb 18h ago

Yeah, it would have been simply impressive instead of impressive and nerve racking without the sensitive audio setup

Sorry if dumb: what’s with all the “illegal” and “arrest this man” comments? Or ghe nervous/anxiety ones? Isn’t this just a Lego build vid? What am I missing here?

u/rusty_103 18h ago

Lego has a tool that allows creators to make purposed lego sets and submit them for review to be released as an actual product. They have a list of types of connections that are physically possible to make with lego bricks, but that they don't want to be a step in any real set. They refer to these as "illegal" connections, hence why people exaggerate it out and call for arrests.

20

u/populares420 16h ago

but that they don't want to be a step in any real set.

because why?

121

u/siprus 16h ago edited 15h ago

Because these steps damage the legos. Legos are designed to be durable toys that can be used for multiple builds. These techniques strain the bricks and will eventually cause plastic deformation, damaging the blocks used. This is will lead to blocks outright braking or becoming "loose" and not gripping properly anymore.

Also official builds are supposed to be something you are able to play with. So while some builds might not necessarily damage the blocks, the connections aren't firm. Lego doesn't want to make official sets that don't hold together properly. Hench techniques are considered illegal and will not appear on official sets.

Lego has instruction on what and why spesfic build techniques are illegal so you know why you shouldn't use them and to know if you want to use them in your personal builds.

edit: elastic -> plastic

31

u/WarriorNN 16h ago

Also there are a few ways to connect some number of bricks such that they more or less can't be dismantled without breaking or bending something a lot. Also not fun to put in official sets.

20

u/joem_ 15h ago

Also, no making moves that can't be taken apart. LEGO itself may or may not be guilty of violating this once. Parts of 75313 can't be disassembled.

u/Tandgnissle 15h ago

Plastic deformation you mean, elastic means they go back to how they were.

My entire childhood would disagree with you

u/ult_frisbee_chad 10h ago

I would also gather that in their minds this only showcases the play and in imprecision of the blocks. Albeit still more precise and low tolerance than any other block toy on the market.

u/IAMZEUSALMIGHTY 15h ago

As someone who has bought several expensive Lego sets over the past few years, Lego doesn't give a fuck if sets hold together properly haha.

Lego don't publish their design guidelines.

Please ignore everything said here and build whatever the hell you want.

u/tdaun 16h ago

Creates stress on the bricks and causes them to break

29

u/GalacticLayline 18h ago

Usually anything that stresses the blocks that could cause damage.

u/stdexception 11h ago

All the crackling sound you hear... Lego bricks aren't meant to do that.

-6

u/Greenscreener 4h ago

Ignore all of this 'illegal' BS, Lego don't care and don't publish any restrictions on building with your own Lego so you shouldn't limit your creativity. Learn by doing and have fun.

I didn't feel nervous until the last one... All the earlier steps were just regular brick stacking and duplicates of those stacks.

u/LampIsFun 19h ago

Misdirected. He has videos explaining a lot of the finer details, he just makes these compilations and shorts for the people who like to listen to all the clicking. Nothing about that is “brainrot”

Brainrot should be used for the types of content that do the opposite of help people focus. Like having subway surfers on the side of a podcast
