I genuinely don't even care about the off brand LEGO ad, i'm just here for that lofty humor and BOY is it on point

Thanks for featuring us man, and talking through the whole “fake LEGO” thing out with everyone. 👍

The power of a generic LEGO man and First Order Stromtrooper in a pink skirt is too much for just any jail cell… 💣💥 Great video Loft! 🙌

this dude is straight out the lego movie

the final speech brought a tear to my eye

Nice. To be fair at least when I was a kid lego's biggest competiotor was mega block and at least at that point it really did just break apart when you blow on it. Most people seem to have that experience as their base line for off brand legos.

off brand lego is great value but off brand minifigures are mostly terrible. they can be good sometimes though

Awesome video, love the creative way you used to make this!! Thanks for having me tho!

LOL the chatgpt part is hilarious

This was beautifully made, straight art right down to skipping through your own ad read. I wish I had money to throw at you. Thanks for sharing!

ii love how you included so many lego animators in the court (including me :)))

well, i agree ... someone like me should buy cheap and useful bricks for animating, and your stopmotion itself was a masterpiece!

Honestly, I'm ok with fake LEGO bricks for stopmotion and only that. However, for building, It just ruins the authenticity of it. Absolutely amazing video as always!😄

I love how you use real voices instead of mumbling like other LEGO videos

Not really on topic to the video but your facial animations are amazing.

Dude your stuff is way too interesting and entertaining 😂🍻 I don’t mind the fake LEGO for background stuff, it looks fine and it’s a good option for animators that don’t want to spend $400 for real LEGO modulars just for backgrounds ALSO 5:30 bro just casually animated the cleanest arm crossing ever and thought we wouldn’t notice

Your videos are some of my favorite on the internet right now! They're just always so engaging and humorous. keep it up!

Loft Studios has my favorite animation style ever! The jokes and humor are really well done and funny! Your content reminds me of the Lego movie! Super underrated!

Oh my god this was fantastic Loft!! You knock it out the park as always. That "BenLAnimations approved" killed me 🤣

you always have a way of taking a story that doesn’t sound very good and making it COMPLETELY AMAZING! who woulda thought that a video about why someone uses fake lego would be THIS GOOD?!? amazing job man, you always just blow me away with you’re animations. 🙌

Well done- this is a really clever way of presenting the debate over fake lego. Your videos never fail to entertain (and make me wish I had more time to animate)!

I don't understand why your channel doesn't have more subscribers with viral viewership. This video is hilarious, and I love your opinion as well. Awesome content!

This video has genuinely made me change my mind about fake Lego. It was so entertaining to watch!! 👍

This man is one of the most creative brickfilmers of ALL TIME, I don't care if other people use off brand sets or pieces, if it works then I see no problem!!! I have some bootleg minifigures like Deadpool 🤐 and man this is the biggest Brickfilmers crossovers ever 😂 keep growing man you're one of my favorite YOU DESERVE MORE VIEWS AND SUBS

This was actually very helpful! Idk if I was featured or not lol but either way THE ANIMATION WAS SO SMOOTH HOWWWWW

Dude the court animation was just great and I Iove all the figure references to Lego me the OG, Auto bricks, Castle Cyclops ect....

As a lego fan it just feels wrong buying fake lego but after saving a while you do get quality and the best building experience that you can get.

The comedy is just as good as the Lego Movie. Keep doing this.

The ChatGPT part made me laugh so hard omg🤣🤣🤣 I was dying. Also THIS WAS RELEASED ON MY BIRTHDAY ᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟ

Nice video! You are an underrated brickfilmer

BRUH this was so creative😆 and the way of how you compared “fake” lego and on brand lego was written really well. Either way I’m still going to end up with bankruptcy one day cause of this hobby😂

Is it really a crime if the stop motion is so fire 🔥

Honestly surprised this guy hasn’t hit 1 million subs

Very interesting video. I was one of the comments featured at the beginning, and, truth is, i will never stop saying Lego knockoffs are bad. I'm poor, i know Lego is overpriced and it's getting worse, i know you use it for your backgrounds so nobody cares becuz u dont see the Lego logo and i know Lego did not even create the Lego brick ! But we gotta be thankful. Like, Lego took the toy industry to another level, they really did. In more ways than u could imagine. This is their work, blood and tears to get to the incredibly powerful brand we know now. And knockoffs are... bad. We have to buy less but buy better. Where are these bricks made ? By who ? Are they even paid ? I want to have a decent work and a decent life, i don't want China to become so powerful that there will be no work anymore in my country. And then, in the end, there's morality. Ethics. Money is not everything. I buy like, i don't know, between six and eleven sets a year, from 10 dollars to 150 dollars (rarely that high ok) and if i have to get to 4-9 sets a year, well, that'll be ok ! Morality is what our generation lacks. Becuz we got everything accessible thx to the Internet, we stopped asking questions to ourselves on things such as ethics and stuff. Im not a pro-Lego preacher. That's not the message im trying to convey here. As you brilliantly said at the end of your video, we make our own choices. But just dont base them only on money. There's more than that behind fake Lego sets/pieces.

Ohh, that is what you wanted the crowd sounds.

I completely agree with you on the topic. But thank you for saying MEGA isnt fake lego 😂 Alot of my friends say that

The truly correct conclusion to this argument you have made here loft, but what you want guys you don’t have to hate a brand unless it’s illegal or straight up rip-off. That said, I’m a loyal Mega fan lol

One of the best and smoothest Lego stop motions I've seen ever! The humor is quite epic aswell. Def deserved a sub!

haha this video is so high quality! the animation is incredible! great job dude!

its always a great day when loft uploads

What are they going to do, throw you in Lego jail? Everyone knows those cells are practically designed to be broken out of.

Finally, I've been saying the same thing about different brand bricks. To be fair to Lego, their IP really appeals to kids, my 7 year old son loves Ninjago, Monkie Kid, and Dreamzzz. But after buying FO and Pantasy sets and then turned on the LED lights for my city, he stopped playing with his Ninjago city and started playing on mine. We got the Newstand and the steampunk car next which he assembled and now, we just order Ninjago and MK minifigs and buy different brands for our buildings.

I always knew Nonstop was doing something fishy

Dude has become one of my favorite animators

After watching your original video I did some research and constructed the Brick Bank set using WeBrick -- any parts that I couldn't find (roughly 10-15% if I remember correctly) I got from Brick Link. For me to purchase a brand new Brick Bank currently from amazon is over 650 bucks; comparatively, WeBrick cut that down to less than 200. The quality of it was overall good, there were some building techniques that didn't seem to work with the off-brand, most notably the columns that are on the first level. Color quality was slightly off too, but this were for parts at the back of the building. So yes, as someone who wants to build a city-scape for future animations, I will absolutely forgo the Lego print on my bricks if I can save 450 bucks.

Your Lego animation is top notch! Very witty and creative. Especially with the practical effects. It almost makes me regret selling most of my Lego after animating it for 10 years. But hey ho.

Ngl I collect off brand lego for the funny knockoff figures, and I usually keep them away from my real lego

I went through a die-hard LEGO purist phase when I was younger. If the right logo weren't on the stud, then it weren't in my tub. End of. (Except when relatives bought it for me as a present, but I still tried to keep it separate.) LEGO were the poor, poor monopoly company that evil, despicable smaller brands were soullessly stealing from in my small, naïve eyes. But then I started getting into LEGO trains. Train modelling I think is kind of like the gateway drug for shifting allegiances, because its something that LEGO doesn't foster as much as it used to. To get anything done satisfactorily was impossible while maintaining a purist outlook, and before I knew it I was buying custom track pieces, off brand parts and off brand sets (not knockoffs, I hasten to add, but original designs). I'm fully converted now, especially since I'm older and can see how much the price difference matters, so regularly buy parts from Webrick and the like, especially if it's for a model I don't plan on taking apart or if I'm going to modify the parts. Brand loyalty doesn't really benefit the customer in the end, so nobody should be vilified for choosing the more economic solution.

when i first started getting legos like last year i only bought lego and hated other off brand legos but now that im trying to do stop motion and dont have enough legos to build decent backgrounds i buy off brand legos and it helped a lot and saved a lot of money

I think you just NAILED it - have fun with whatever floats your boat :D

This feels like emmet if he was a content creator

This video is so great, very helpful and amazingly animated!

I have some off-brand Lego; not much, but I do try to keep it separate from the real Lego. I have been eyeing off-brand more though, due to licenses Lego doesn't have, such as Star Trek and Stargate, and military stuff. Love the part with your dog!

This is one of the best lego stop motions I’ve ever seen 👏

Lol.😂 Loved the video. I do prefer LEGO but I am looking into buying off brand LEGO, and I even bought a pack of off brand LEGO with animals and they looked really good!✌️

The collabs go so hard every time in every video, this animation was so good I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time Your dogs hilarious

I don't have anything else to say about off brand LEGOs, I mean they do have some good minifigures like the characters from any Anime like Goku and Saber. and to be fair, those minifigures are perfect. I remember buying some Minifigures like the Street Fighters ones and The King of Fighters ones, and those aren't official bricks. problem is, I couldn't find any pieces anywhere. oh, I also forgot that I like how you added the talented animator by the name of Edbound. His animations were astonished with all the effort that has put into them. anyway, great work.

Wow your stop motions are smooth!! Excellent work! Good video though, it was very entertaining! 😁

I couldn’t recommend dragonframe more for you, but the few problems that I have now found a solution for are just the editing, sound collection and masking, if you can get all that together beforehand then dragonframe is perfect

It dosnt matter if the bricks are fake, i use this light up bricks and there good quality and never realized they were fake all along same with the clear bricks i use there mega blocks bricks and i dont care

For a second there I thought Lofty solved World peace, I was wrong :( Great vid Lol!😂

This video is just too good! Love it so much! (:

I like the audience in the background in court!

As long as they work the same and can peacefully coexist with one another(like lego won’t fall off of webrick bricks because they’re like 1000th of an inch smaller or something) I can see myself using them as a cheaper alternative if I wanna buy parts for a cool moc I see online

Thanks for making this video. It's very informative ❤

Your speech at the end reminded me of Emmet from the Lego Movie. Very well said Loft!

Might have to go by myself some Webricks

Great vid it was very interesting to hear your opinion on off brand lego :D

I like knockoff Lego bricks if they aren't too bad. As long as they are similar and get the job done, they're all good to me! (Thanks for helping me with the practical effects, I use them for my Plastic Army Men stopmotions.)

I bought an off brand set once, thinking it was actual lego and the quality was horrible. Now I have trust issues with buying from alternative lego brands

I can’t wait to try it!

I think it’s fine if it’s a set that’s way too expensive for regular people to buy, or custom. But using knock off minifigures is a crime

this dude is a working machine!

Ah, the wait was absolutely worth it! 😂👌 See folks, all we needed was our good little minifigure representative to show us how to be open-minded in our usage of similarly styled building bricks. Why, you can just hear the conviction in the crowd! Oh...wait. 🤔 (Thanks for featuring us, Lofty!)

I love the fact that you took the music from the lego wii minigames🤙😁

Dang it i completely forgot to do some voice lines for this, regardless great video!!! Ive used offbrand Minifigures before and i got blasyed for it by a few peeps😂

good job on the animation

Wow awesome! Great video 👍

No issue at all with alternative bricks.

It's not a crime if you don't pay for it unless you stole it!

I'm definitely gonna use webrick now 😅

Very Good! Congratulations!

You animate so well

OH MY GOODNESS THE PUPPY

Lofty WHAT IS YOUR THEME MUSIC IT GOES SO HARD

5:21 also nice cracked arm

0:40 We should internet shame those rude commenters.

I have mixed feelings about knockoff lego. I like the lego style parts so I normally shy away from brands that don't copy bricks 1 to 1. Mega Blok is fine for basic brick, but the weird molds of slopes and panels annoy me. I can work around the clutch power being a little off as long as the part dimensions aren't different (I hate KRE-O plates). I do occasionally buy sketchy chinese minifigs, because it's way more affordable than buying discontinued minifigs from the hobbit or star wars. As long as the quality is half decent, I can save a lot of money by using fake minifig torsos and headgear, supplementing real minifig arms, legs, and heads when necessary. Also fake's typically fine for bigfigs because they're mostly just a big chunk of molded plastic.

I jumped when I saw my comment appear. Thanks for including it!

3:37 well, uuuum, eeeeh, UuUUUUuuUUuUUuuh no not really... 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Had a laugh, thanks mate ❤

There is some offbran lego that does use the usual minifigure design

Ya know...I might try buying an off brand Lego set for MY animations

I mean for my new Lego movie I brought some Webrick Lego lifejackets

Seeing My Comment Actually Scared Me, The Realization That The Words I Use Have In Impact Is Horrifying

Honestly no! I have fake Lego, and it’s pretty okay

I think the reason people don’t like it is because they think of lepin, which outright stole lego set designs, or megablox, where the colors are always different

The chat gpt part absolutely killed me Edit: captainrexstudiosOFFICIAL, I love ya man!

I want to take one of your shorts and make a Lego animation. My question is if you would like to watch it? 😅😮

Loved the Halo Shotgun!!!😂
