The entire lego friends greenhouse is full of smart building techniques for plants, if you wanna use that

This is very smart and resourceful from a manufacturing perspective. It’s hard to make a new mold for a new piece so reusing old pieces in different ways is a lot easier, cheaper and smarter. This also gives Lego pieces a wider range to be used in many different ways.

Lego is just a relaxing thing to do honestly

9:00 funny how this "snot" is connected to the model using studs not on top, making it a SNOT building technique in two different ways.

OMG. I had the Indiana Jones set growing up. I didn't ever think the revolver was used as a handle for a gas can... I thought it was a super gun with extra ammo. Even as an adult too haha.

The fur collar is also used as a birds nest in the 10305 Lion Knights Castle set.

Fun fact: not only did other mixels use animal/clever item pieces such as cobrax with a snake as his tongue, forx used the banana, and skrubz used the ice cream cone to hold up its eye, but mixels are going on 10 years in February 2024

These would all be absolutely horrifying to come across in real life

5:36 - That trumpet piece is cool because it's made with mostly common pieces. Love it when Lego does that over smelting a new 'trumpet piece'.

I think a lot of the sets from the botanical collection are worth mentioning. For example, the wildflower bouquet uses unique colored pirate hats as flower petals and green sausages for stems!

"You may already know, that LEGO really loves sausages" 💀💀 (5:38)

The Popsicles were used as the chair backs in the massive rivendell set, just another cool piece usage

Hidden? You built the set 🤨

lego set 60336 has a clever use of whips as well: they are used as the cables for the charging stand, in fact, it uses 2

I love these videos so much. Makes me gasps in amazement with how smart Lego is with their pieces.

Alight, let’s talk about Lego botanical series, my sister loves them and I’ve been blown away by how creative they are, some of my favorite parts usage that is strange and genius. First, on the orchid set, some of the flowers are reprinted heads of the demegorgon from stranger things. The succulents are full of fun design choices such as eggs for leaves, and blasters to hold the petals of a large maroon flower in place. Then there’s potted plants which use both newsboy caps as leaves, as well as clam shells. Finally and one of my favorites, is the bonsai tree using over 30 little frogs as pink and white leaves

I've seen many sci-fi lego sets use a pair of binoculars on the end of a laser pistol to make it look more like a rifle. Very creative stuff!

Based on some of the things mentioned in this video, I was able to look at my Viking Village set and notice how some items were used! -A simple black pistol is used as the spigot for a mead barrel. -Golden hot dogs are used for horn-like ornamentation on the top of the mead hall. -As well, a minifigure set of epaulets are used for more ornamentation. I thought these were really clever uses!

The 76989 Horizon Forbidden West tallneck has a lot of interesting features for the build such as skateboard pieces for the four tails, the snow-mobile leg pieces as antenna on the back of the head, and large green rib pieces as tall grass on the base.

When you brought up the penguin arctic roller, it reminded me of the Ninjago Legacy boulder blaster as it uses Revolvers for exhaust.

100% agree. Hidden Side was massively underrated.

The fiat 500 blue lego set (77942), in step 76, says to put on two 1×1 round studs. However, it only says where to put one of them (on a technic pin on a stick). (The other stud in the next step -77- appears in its place behind the sticks between the seats. This stud only appears in this step then disappears for the next few steps until it's covered up.) In the next step the stud thats supposed to go on the technic pin doesn't appear there, and the mistake is only fixed by step 158. (The stud does appear by steps 78 and 141, which are both the last steps of the bags (1&2). It appears and disappears multiple times). In the yellow fiat 500 (10271) you can see what is supposed to happen, the mistake is only by the blue fiat 500. Two mistakes in the same step. The interesting part is that lego just used the same things for the set and just changed the color. But they added a mistake too... The set number for the blue fiat is 77942, the set number for the yellow fiat is 10271. I tried sending this to your email, it didn't work

I think an honorable mention should be the Botanical sets. They use anywhere from solid colored heads, pirate hats, and frogs!

you may have covered this already, but in the friends botanical garden set, the plants in the back use an amazing assortment of minifig accessories, like saxophones and shoulder guards!

Have you considered looking at interesting part usage in MOCs too? I once used a 1x6 barrier plate as a train windscreen and have seen many a sausage used as a brake pipe.

In the lego set "Joker's trike chase" (76159), Batman's car uses a few 1x2 hinge brick top plates on the side of the car as a little detailing. I hope this was helpful!

4:49 the faint "bump" in the background audio scared me. I thought someone was in my house. LOL

Those fish missles could be used as light saber handles and then they'd be even more powerful.

They reused the printed minifigure head for a globe in the Galileo gift with purchase, but it's inaccurate, because Australia wasn't on any European maps or globes of the time! 😊

There are some great parts in the insect collection set. The mantis uses green pistol pieces for the legs and the bee is made using an egg piece.

Another mention you could do for the sausage pieces is how they are used in The Beatles Yellow Submarine set where they are used as railing near the periscopes at the top of the build

Botafogo Jersey !!!😱😱😱

Continuing the sausage love, the anchor for the massive LEGO titanic uses black sausages, and I love that. It also has a plate slotted between two studs, which feels illegal >.

The fur coat was also used as a bird nest in the Lego 90th anniversary Lion Knight's castle.

The lego Jazz Quartet uses a video game controller piece as the Bassist's bow tie, A golden gate door piece as the inside structure of the grand piano, and lego heart shaped studs as the hair ornament the pianist wears. Those were just the one's I found interesting, but the set also uses some season 5 Ninjago Ninja star pieces as the bottom of the stands that hold the drums.

The Fender guitar set that recently came out has lipstick parts to connect the wires to and from the amp and I had a lot of fun building that set with my dad!

And the bonsai tree set has 101 pink frogs as the cherry blossom leaves haha

The home alone house set has a super cool part usage on the van! The mirrors of the van are held up by 2 gray recolored gun pieces!

Speaking of sausages. In Jurassic World set "Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate" LEGO used a black sausage for the lamp

I knew that Ferrari set used the stud shooters for exhausts, but I was quite surprised, upon building it, to discover that they included triggers in them.

The Yellow Submarine has some sausages used at the top, which is pretty cool!

in The Insect Collection, there are several neat uses of parts, Under the hercules beetle's wood, there are two white croissant peices used as grubs, and the use of bucket handles as feet is neat too. The Praying mantis's feet are sand green revolvers and the antennae are golden crowbars but my favorite part use in the set is the mantis' forelegs as the serrated sword in solid lime green, which up till then only came in transparent marbled colors to represent fire or ghosts

The most smartest Lego Technic I saw was putting two bricks together its crazy

6:40 It was actually in Ninjago City Markets rather than Gardens.

Santa's visit one I love only because it's kinda genius as no others would be fitting

That Grodd big figure you showed didn't have any print on it 😂

03:17 BOTAFOGO.

The Policeman in training suit is with the Botafogo-RJ shirt... What a bad luck....

Spitbrix at 3:50 gorilla grod doesn't have any printing on his head.

The Beatles' Yellow Submarine set uses funny sausages as well lol

9:12 I think the globe is also in the Galileo GWP that Lego gave out in 2023

Paint rollers are also used as mirrors in the 42095 RC stunt car (Technic set)

The LEGO Groot set has a couple really good building technique.

the paint rollers are also used on set 70642: Killow vs. Samurai X as steering handles on the chopper bike.

There is a clever use of the stacked ledge pieces as mini stairs in the Trafalgar Square 21045 Set

the new Shadow’s Escape set for the Sonic line uses paint roller pieces for his bike’s handles, which i thought was really cool!

If I remember correctly, the minifigure head with the globe print has also been used in the Modular Sanctum Sanctorum from Marvel

Funny enough those Paint Roller elements are also used in the Lego Sonic Shadow's Escape set as the chopper's handlebars

The paint roller piece is used multiple times in the daily bugle set for lights coming out of the backside of the building

This guy is so cool to find all these.

My personal favorite is the snowshoes to make the blades of the fan in the pool hall for the detectives office modular

Whip pieces are also used in the BD-1 model set. 4 of them make up electrical wires on his legs.

Another fun idea for the cactus arms could be a Velcro suit

The Roses Bouquet lego set also uses whips for the top of the roses… I was assembling it yesterday for Valentines Day with my gf!

In the Lego tiny plants set,there are multiple genius techniques 1 the false shamrock has purple butterflies 2 the jade plant has dark green hats 3 the red sundew has red hairbrushes 4 the yellow pitcher plant has green mop tops and red battle droid or skeleton arms 5 the pincushion cactus has flowers of top of it

Talking about the red whips. 2 get used for the mini figure, Miss Demeanour found in the Lego Ninjago City Market set for her flamethrowers

The 007 Aston Martin DB5 Lego speed champions set also has a gun as an exhaust pipe!

The recently released Lego Tiny Plants set has really cool part uses - hair brushes, epaulets, berets, butterflies, a crown piece, and helmet pieces

The sausage pieces are also used as arms for the chairs in the UCS LOTR Rivendell set

Thinking of getting that statue of Liberty head for the sweet wig lol

On the back of the 2010 AT AT there was revolvers to add detail and also a hammer on the side of the head to hold stuff together. Please Spitbtix, put this in your next one.

Also hidden in the A-Frame Cabin is the use of a musket handgun as the water faucet in the sink!

I’ll be honest, I preferred the original design of the A-Frame cabin. From what I recall the guy who designed the original concept is in the Manic Miners discord. One of the main differences was the trees.

i put the lego titanic together a few years ago, black sausages were used for all anchors onboard the ship

In the Lego city 2023 admin calendar set on day 22. It makes you bit a sleigh and for the “legs with a slay” it uses two sword pieces

2:25 funny thing is, the set that introduced the part they'd use for future bird nests, had a birds nest in the set, but didn't use that piece, if you look at the top of the bridge, surprised they didn't use it then

In the eifel tower set there are also A BUNCH OF SAUSAGES USED

The Pyramid of Giza has a really interesting staircase build, next to the river.

The Singapore architecture set uses black overwatch gun molds on the inside of the buildings to hold them up, and also uses speed champions wheel rims in magenta

The fur collar is also used as a bird nest in Lion knights castle, inside the mill.

Check out the Lego Ghost adventures sets. They were really unique with glowy pieces and battery operated lights, as well as a car with a mounted gun that pulls out the side

The Aston Martin DB5 Speed Champion set also uses a gun to hold the exhaust.

On the topic of revolvers and guns, the creator Aston Martin James Bond set had a ton of revolvers used in the engine build

Finally a person agrees with me about hidden side being underated

love this

Holy crap i have that Indiana Jones set. Took it apart long ago tho

The Ideas Caterham uses lipstick pieces to connect the exhaust. The speed champions James bond Aston Martin DB5 also uses a gun as exhaust. You can give the mini figure the spare one in the hand ;)

1:25 the side mirrors are the old Lego agents guns

Holllyyyy you just unlocked so many childhood memories with the mixels

The jokers escape from the Lego Batman movie line also uses paint rollers for handles

The Lego fender guitar also uses the lipstick pieces to connect cables

Fun Fact!: Lego set 10321 (the 1961 Chevrolet Corvette) uses Banana pieces and light saber handles for the bumpers! And uses Gray Hot Dog pieces (or Glizzys) for the sides of the grill!

Paint rollers are also used in the new "Shadows Escape" Sonic the hedgehog set for his bike handles!

If you take a look at Paradisa 6417 for example they use an open backpack as feeding trough for the horses.

The LEGO Star Wars at-ST Raider set also uses whips as wires, in the left leg.

Can we appreciate the work that spit Tox puts into his videos? I always enjoy watching and a new upload from the ‘iq’ saga really does make my day. I hope you live long and prosper spitbrix, we all do ❤.

The Lego Roses set that recently came out has ALOT of those red Whipes

There is also a paint roller in the Starwars AT-ST Walker set

Amazing!

4:45That’s the latest set that I got, I got it from my school that was giving away donated toys and clothing, I even made a video using my iPad about that same exact paint roller being used as a mirror part😊
