Mike Psiaki is the GOAT! If you can, try to get 31023, it is a masterclass of building techniques and before joining LEGO was the one that completely blew me away as at that time, the type of Snot techniques used were kinda revolutionary. Then you should also get 31039, it’s one of his “babies”. Mike loves planes and that model shows that. Amazing video! I’ll share it with Mike. I’m sure he’ll appreciate it

LEGO is all about creativity, but it is rare to see actually creative and high production quality videos about LEGO. I really have to congratulate you guys for bringing something refreshing to the table

Well done! This video has the production value of a channel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. PS - nice job spotlighting the "satisfying" moments of these builds.

8:24 “The vacation house turns the bear into a grill.” Bear Grylls 💀

I’m blown away by this video. The concept of following a single creator, the depth of study, the math, and the outstanding production quality. So many inventive and intelligent things in this video. Was already impressed by your channel but you two went Super Saiyan for this one. I hope every Lego reviewer watches this and is influenced. Psiaki is a great choice. He’s definitely the most impressive builder they have right now. I love that you found a range of his builds to study including some classics like the Mustang and Apollo, a polybag, and especially the Creator 3 in 1.

This design-focused video is a breath of fresh air compared to the other LEGO review videos. I love how you point out the interesting building techniques of each set as that's what I really enjoy most while building LEGO sets. I'm glad to have discovered this channel and I can't wait to see more videos. Keep up the excellent work! Liked and subbed!

Saturn V is by far the best building experience I've had with Lego the last few years. For every new SNOT and sometimes weird placement I went "huh, clever!" or "that's really clever." or "Ahh, I get it now." or "ooh man, that is so smart!". :D

This made me appreciate all the engineering that goes into Lego sets! Vacation Getaways is peak Creator 3 in 1.

When I first got the Saturn V, I wanted it more as a display piece, so I really didn't care how boring the building process was gonna be, but for a repetitive looking build, the internals were what kept it alive, and its easily my favorite LEGO set of all time. great video, its nice to see an approach to a bunch of different sets like this, good stuff!

Wow! I would never have bought the Mustang, but now you have me interested!

The Speed Champions cars always have interesting buildings techniques in them. I'm not a car person but I love building Speed Champions just to see how they're built.

Also loved the “turntable” shot at 8:41 😂😂😂 consider buying an actual turntable, it’s great value for money I feel, but then again I’ll probably miss the hand turntable shots ahah

I love your use of stop-motion to film the builds! It was nice to see these step-by-step builds without hands getting in the way.

Starry Night and the Lightyear ship are some of the most satisfying builds I’ve experienced

Recently, I’ve been building the Eiffel Tower and it’s definitely a tedious building process; however, some of the techniques and parts utilized by the designers are ingenious. It’s mainly held together by some technic pins and clips. The build also inverts at points, so you can take apart the build into sections.

Tiago Catarino shared this to his channel’s community and I’m so glad he did! It was fascinating to see such a variety of techniques and parts in use to create such clean builds. I loved your choice to track the use of unique parts in the 3 in 1 set! I sometimes wonder if parts were used in a main build specifically with the alternate build in mind (either because of color choice or a specific shape). This was a great showcase. Subscribed!

I randomly stumbled upon this video and it is and it is brilliant , i am honestly Blown away by the quality of this video I am really excited to see more !

This is one of the BEST and most INSPIRATIONAL Lego videos I've seen in a long time.

This is next level LEGO content! It was a bit fast for me, but I know I can slow it down, pause, or play it again. 😅 And I’m here for it!

Great work! I really loved your presentation of the techniques and observations you had about the sets. Analyses of LEGO build techniques in your style aren’t easy to come by, so this video was a treat to watch. I totally think you should do a second video on the rest of the techniques you found!

This was so great! So many Lego videos are focused on news, reviews, or retrospectives on older themes. Those are great, but this really nailed down a huge part of why Lego is fun! I’m not a technical person at all, so I really appreciated this!

Creativity is fun with lego and gives that feeling of accomplishment when a set I'm building suddenly makes sense. Lego is expensive, but it's great to know the set I purchased provides ingenuity and creativity. Knowing these sets will offer more value and entertainment over time makes it worth it. Please make more videos like this.

The Saturn V is one of the best LEGO sets in my opinion. The really cool building techniques paired with the impressive size of the finished model as well as the very reasonable price given the amount of pieces and size make it a great building experience.

Mike is the GOAT. I bought the Blue Power Jet (his first official set,) as soon as it was out. So good.

Oh MY! I have been on about Mike P. from the beginning. To be fair, his talents are hard to overlook. Yes please, more vids just like this!!! Instant fan!!!

This video was phenomenal. Produced so well. I look forward to more of these technique breakdowns!

I must say, I'm amazed by the production quality! Your channel really needs more attention. While my awareness to new LEGO sets has diminished over the years, my love of LEGO hasn't, and it's awesome to see how creative these set designers have gotten. That being said, your focus on these sets really highlights the studs-out technique and how it can be applied.

Brilliant; especially the Mustang. Provides an understanding of how things work!

I LOVE this video. Please do more of this content. Neat and small techniques from building a set often get “lost in translation” for lego reviews. But this helps gives those moments some time to shine!

I really like videos like this! Knowing and learning the math behind it all really helps understand how to make better builds.

The Saturn V is probably my favorite set. It’s huge and creative and it looks nice

I would like to see a part 2, I love seeing all the different techniques

This video made me appreciate the build of the Saturn V even more, and also made me go out and get the Galaxy explorer. That was another amazing build, so many clever techniques

The wing edges and angled crew area of the 10497 Galaxy Explorer are wildly impressive, and the tiling of the wings was spectacularly satisfying.

Too boring? This is exactly the detail we want from Lego videos. Well done!

I enjoyed this video immensely! This design/technique breakdown is not boring in the slightest. In fact, it's the most deeply I've ever been engaged by a LEGO video!

Okey I could have never imagine how crazy the tecnics on the mustang were, It's so acuarate!

More videos like this one please. The complexity of these designs are far more interesting to watch and hear about.

This is the masterclass of what I want from LEGO content

How do you only have 2k subscribers?? this is excellent content-- looking forward to seeing more!!

Wow, great video! Loved the content, presentation, and editing! I have many of these sets, but my favorite technique of Mike Psiake's--as you highlight in two of these sets--is way he makes large, round structures--he is brilliant!

what did i just watch... it was amazing. please continue

Oh my, what an awesome video!! Such a refreshing approach to the hobby! And very educational too. Sadly I'm not a native speaker so I just can't keep up with the fast pace, I'll have to watch multiple times. I subscribed a few weeks ago and I'm thrilled with the content of your channel. I'm sure it will grow very big very fast, keep up the good work!!

incredible video, really love the topic and the quality is absolutely incredible for such a quality channel. Y’all are going to make it big, i am sure of it.

this is the highest quality lego content. Keep up the amazing work, I'm sure you'll have lots of success!

Watched this earlier today, coming back to comment. I just adore this video so much. I’m so happy to see this fresh take on lego KZfaq, really diving into the engineering and math in standard lego sets, not mocs. I’m even sending this to my friends. 😄😄Please please please keep up this style of video.

Wow. This is awesome! Thanks for creating this!

thank you for highlighting the building techniques in some affordable sets! i’ve been enjoying the Stuntz series recently, they aren’t particularly technical in many places but as a long time lego fan it’s refreshing to build a set and then actually play with it :)

WHY AM I JUST NOW LEARNING ABOUT THIS CHANNEL Excellent video, you've got a new subscriber!

As usual with real life boats, right side (starboard) has green marker lights and left side (port) has red. It is a maritime convention which makes it easier to determine where the boat goes at night and plays crusial role in collision avoidance.

this is my favourite lego channel

Honestly, loved seeing all of the different techniques from this designer! I really like the what you all have going here. Excited for what you all have in store. ☺️

This is a great video. For “Lego beginners” as you say, you know more about Lego than some people who have had Lego KZfaq channels for years! I look forward to watching more of your content

I have loved his sets. My favorites to build, by far, have been the Saturn 5 and the Ecto 1. Genius level!

I loved this format!!! Very glad Tiago brought me to your channel! Subscribed!

I adore 31052! It was a pleasure to see it praised here.

This is the aspect of Lego that I enjoy, the techniques and creativity of Lego parts. Thank You. You just earned a new subscriber.

Wow! Blown away by the quality and polish of your videos, which is beyond on par with most 6/7figure subscribernchannels! Entertaining and informative. Looking forward to seeing an explosion of growth in 2023 as more people find your content!

Not boring, I could watch this kind of video for a couple hours

Lego sure likes sneaking as many frogs in as possible.

This was a real treat. I feel like I'm living through another Renaissance of LEGO content, your editing is phenomenal. Nothing but more but good can come from seeing more of your output. And yeah, Mike is a brilliant designer. I got the The Saturn V as a treat for myself several years ago, and building that with my brother and sister was fun not only by proxy of doing it alongside them. The techniques it utilized were clever and stabilizing, plus all of those smooth slopes and tiles on the exterior made it so nice for my hands, one of the most comfortable builds I've ever done. So that, the Downtown Diner, and most recently the 90th Anniversary Galaxy Explorer are quite possibly my favorite modern LEGO sets of all time, that man is a talent. Hope you're doing well!

The production quality of this video and the pure love of the hobby completely encapsulates me throughout this video, Definitely a channel I'm going to keep up with from now on!

The botanical line is awesome! And the two new set coming on February aren't even stolen from rejected Ideas!

Excellent video! The Saturn V is a weird and beautiful building experience. I'm glad the algorithm brought your channel to me!

I adore the bonzai cherry blozom's use of pink frogs as the leaves.

I've only built the orchid set but you touched all the things I loved about it besides the custom mini fig hat orchid pieces. loved the vid.

Loved this video! The level of detail and attention is amazing. I just finished the Jazz Quartet video yesterday and thought it was filled with excellent techniques. The big Marvel Guardian's Ship is also a great build.

There was a lot of satisfying stuff. Loved the approach to put build experience and function over looks. And there were a few awesome sets I hadn't seen before, like the camper van which must be the best 3 in 1 I've ever seen, the only one actually worth buying three times

the best building experience of lego i've ever had the pleasure to experience was building the saturn V rocket, and i've built lot's of lego but this set kept blewing my mind, not only for it's sheer size but also by how it kept finding clever construction technique all around, i wish i cpuld built it for the rist time again, looking forward to one day getting my national treasure, the Eiffel tower...

Love the video! I especially appreciated the different approaches with each set, and always love geeking out on Lego math. I've gained a whole new appreciation for Lego math since designing recreations of buildings on our campus.

This was genuinely wonderful. Appreciating the skill of designing with Lego as a system, which is where the true beauty lies. 10/10

I enjoyed the video and learning about Psiaki’s building techniques. I have the Ecto-1 and Galaxy Explorer and they were both really interesting and fun to build. If you continue with the video series I think the Galaxy Explorer has a lot of interesting techniques in its build.

Gotta admit that I agree with what alota folk are saying down here. It’s really refreshing to see this more analytical side of the Lego community, and focusing a specific builder, and more discussing how it feels to builds the sets rather than the finished thing itself. It is something I don’t really get from other creators too often, keep up the good work

I think the step at 12:26 is one of my favorite moments from a LEGO build ever. Something about the way it clicks together was a magical moment during a long build.

I never knew that some of my favourite sets were by Mike Psaiki. I love the Saturn V and Titanic. The mustang has just moved up to the top of my list to get hold of.

That camper van was one of my favorites as a kid.

Wow excellent job with the video, the production quality is top notch! Psiaki is also one of my favorite Lego designer and seeing some of his creations in your video (stop motion style) was a true treat. Much love and appreciation from Pakistan :) Oh and can we get more videos please?

This video was excellent! so happy to see people as thrilled about this hobby as I am!

wow a very creative video about lego? i dont see these very often... its suspicious but i like it

This is amazing and gives me a smarter appreciation for designers and the thought and brains they put into their LEGO builds. Thank you!

I don’t know how it is possible that I found you only just now, because what you’re doing is amazing. Instantly subscribed, keep it up my friends, you’re truly a hidden gem!!

I knew that Mike Psiaki is a genius when I build the four windows on the left side of the 10260 Downtown Diner. Absolutely mesmerizing.

This is such a fantastic video! Really glad I found your channel, cant wait to watch more!

First time I bumped into his channel, this is absurdly high quality and professional. Editing is fantastic and the script is succinct and informative. Looking forward to the continuation of this video ;P

So great. You could look at online instructions for older sets too. Not satisfying on all of the same levels, but could be more of a. “The way we were” journey.

never seen a vid but deep diving into lego designers is awesome and id love to watch more of them. if you could even look into the why , and even talk or interview the designers, even better. maybe even slow down the pace a little and give us time to enjoy the work. cool stuff

While expensive, the new LEGO Lion Knights' Castle 10305 has some REALLY awesome techniques. A really fun build with lots of little details.

This Video is fantastic! I love how you have keyed in on so many techniques and building nuance and the production value is great.

for such a small set, the lamborghini countach is one of the best building experiences i've ever had

This is a really cool deep dive into different Lego techniques!

Best review of lego building I've seen from anyone! Please keep it up!

This is such a cool video! I love seeing all the techniques explained in an easy to follow format! Please make more!!!

This was great! More of this type of in depth look at creative building techniques please!

The Buzz Lightyear ship (Lego 76832) has some really great angles in the wings and subassemblies that end up fitting PERFECTLY into the gaps those angles make. A really satisfying build and GREAT looking ship for not a lot of money.

This video is just AMAZING, i learned so many new Lego techniques and how much more interesting Lego actually is. This is quality content 👍

Awesome video. I was totally enthralled. Please post more of this kind of analytical content!

the orchid is not on my bricklist because I forgot to update it. I'm very good at forgetting to update it.

This video was awesome! Would love to see more, you two gave great in-depth explanations of the building process

This was a great video a fresh take on the KZfaq Lego format. I’d love to see more videos like this.
