I love lego marvel but it is just lacking a lot, this is because it’s extremely expensive and the sets are sometimes kinda trash ngl And the minifigures rarely get leg or arm printing

@@Brick_FilmI agree

@@Brick_Film me too

Lego should be a human right

I have a few: 1: Bionicle is by far is the worst Lego theme 2: Lego was better from 1989-1997 than today, that was their golden age. 3: Pirates is BY FAR the greatest theme ever created, there is no competition for that honour.

If not edible, why so colorful?

Genuinely spat out coffee from that

EXCELLENT WORK. SPITBRIX LEGO HOT 🔥 TAKES

its true. my uncle works at lego. /j

I chew them and then throw them out

I feel like if that was the case they would just make them Mini Animals like they did with Scooby doo.

Another option would be to make them bigger sets to capture the detail, but that would price out kids from being able to buy them

The MEGA Pokemon are really good, probably the best MEGA line tbh. They're also a lot better in design and structure than most LEGO animal sets, even the good ones.

There's an older mold with a more round crossguard.

There is also a dragon katana

there’s different versions of the piece which technically count as different

I'm mostly into SW sets just because I'm a fan of the franchise, but I will say that there's a lot more creativity in the original themes on display. I don't think that's really Lego's fault, the SW sets are designed to recreate existing designs. SW is limited by the quirks of Lego pieces, but original themes can use them to their advantage since they aren't trying to fit a specific mold. IMO Star Wars are great for fans of the franchise, but if you're looking for a fun build, go for an original theme.

you can buy yellow minifigures to replace the dolls most of the city ones are cheap

Agreed. Friends has a lot of fun looking sets but I'm put off by the terrible doll figures I'll never use, outside of taking the hair pieces for regular Minifigures.

I have the opposite problem : My youngest little sister somehow prefers mini-dolls over minifigures so she buys friends, disney, etc... yet she's such a huge fan of the ninjago show and makes fantasy builds where she wants to make characters fight and such. Problem is, there's no threat or fighting outfits on minidolls, no angry faces, today I saw her try to assemble a "bad guy" from her mini dolls collection to have an antagonist during her play and she screamed "WHY DO THEY ALL LOOK SO FRIENDLY"... She's tired of building houses and picnics and modern things, wants medieval or fantasy elements like from ninjago, monkie kid, castle, harry potter, etc but minidolls have legit no way to achieve anything remotely aggressive. Seems like LEGO kinda excluded girls like her in a way by limiting minidolls from their "girl inclusion movement" to stereotypically girly things. Closest thing was elves and that was way before her time. It's one thing to replace mini dolls from friends sets with minifigs, but it's disheartening for her to ask me for LEGO Dreamzzz sets, get them, throw the minifigs away in a box never to use them, and have no minidoll possible alternatives.

Yeah but Lego Friends never had a Man fall into the river. Or a Rescue Helicopter.

I'd really like if just their online store had an option on all Friends and Cities sets to request the normal figures from one line be swapped with another. Getting standard yellow figures to live in the Friends sets is easy, being stuck with a bunch of Mini-Dolls I'm not going to play with isn't.

That would be a real nightmare

Intentional pun?

At least someone pointed it out

@@adamtaylor0325 Lol "point"

I think he was actually talking about the older style katana pieces that do use rounded tsuba. As to why he showed the rapier? Probably just a lack of pictures, being charitable.

Lava hot take💀

I know!!

Agreed, although sometimes they have no choice. They have to retire sets to free up factory space for the newer sets. Keeping product fresh is a necessity to compete with other toy brands. Some of the licences for the licenced themes also simply run out, and have to be pulled out of production for legal reasons.

Like the speed champions sets, they retire after like 18 months or something, waaay too short, should be 2 and a half years.

I agree if you like it that’s good for you that’s my opinion I like Lego mincraft but that doesn’t mean everyone else has to

yeah, i also thought "the right way depends mostly on what you want to achieve"

True, True

Agreed.

I agree!

LEGO recommends storing LEGO at below 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) and out of direct sunlight.

Lego Mario

@@saiplayz1138 exactly

interesting... I did not have the old ones but i did get the 2016 ? Ones i think so.. idk

He probably couldn't find any decent pictures of the old round-hand guard-style katanas... which is weird, because they weren't retired until 2012, and I found a picture of a Series 3 Collectible Minifigure with one that displays it very well.

ongggg. monster fighters was my childhood

Monster Fighters is criminally underrated

Totally agree. It was my favorite theme growing up. I had every set (except the graveyard), but unfortunately I gave them away.

@@BigDrummerBoy16 My brother had the lab, I had the ghost train.

Nah, nah, not a hot take imo, this is a cool take I'm all down for

They didn't change the name, simply split it into different age ranges. Mega Brands is the name of the company that makes the bricks, Mega is their collector oriented theme, Mega Construx is aimed at middle school kids, and Mega Bloks is their version of Duplo.

Do you think it’s more cursed than the Nesquick chocolate milk bunny head that goes under the headpiece?

Yes

Look it up

They do preorder

@@nobo86 I said preorder *ALL* sets

Oh yes it's weird they don't do all

I have accidentally cracked way too many torsos and arms to make characters so there's no way I'm removing legs. A redesign like this would be so amazing.

Yeah, LEGO's definitely relying a little too much on licensed themes.

Agreed. I wish we could get new medieval sets that are not from the lord of the rings or a space theme other than star wars

@@enn1924 I would LOVE a new proper medieval theme! Maybe reboot Knight's Kingdom with the new brick-built-style large figures like they're using for Marvel currently.

The brick in the thumbnail is still red

damn… that lamp in the corner looking kinda strange now

It really depends on when that particular katana was forged. The style changed multiple times, so it's usually evident on which side of the scabbard is "pretty".

who said that

ninjago is just overpriced sets

@@Hayyunuka I literally just don't care about your opinion and also go get a life

Ninjago doesn’t suck its the best

the old spinner sets were better than the ones now

I think Lego should stay away from real world military stuff. They should keep to any military stuff purely fantasy like star wars. If you want military sets, buy a set from Cobi, they've got official licenced sets of Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman aircraft.

I just want a WWII set with an austrian painter figure

I didn't pick up any of the proper Dots sets but I did grab several of the tile bags. So many useful parts for decorating normal System MOCs.

While I didn't enjoy the sets themselves, the DOTS line did give me so many great ideas. I loved the printed letter tiles, andended up making a personalized sign. 😊

@@kentslocumI still need to get the letter tiles. I promise I won't write anything rude with them.

@@smittzero8463 They can be purchased on Pick-a-Brick, I believe.

Bad opinion

@@LegoverseofMete-td8pf okay then. If Lego is such higher quality, store your minifigs with the legs pushed in all the way. You'll come back in a few years with all your super expensive minifigs worthless, because their torsos are cracked. Meanwhile all my halo figs will have aged like a fine wine, with the only breakages being in the hands. Because. I. Play. With. My. TOYS. And to be honest, I'm not always super careful. But glass is meant to break. If a toy breaks because it was played with, and LOVED, it's a good toy. If a toy breaks behind a glass box, never feeling the touch of a loving child (be it 6 or 60) because it's pieces do not fit inside each other without stressing the material? That toy sucks. I love Lego, don't get me wrong. But some of their decisions have made me...less than happy. Their complete mistreatment of bionicle back in 2015 caused the line to fail. Bionicle didn't fail, Lego failed bionicle. If they had been responsible with the theme we likely would have had more than three waves of g2, and possibly would have had a complete g1, with the red star line and the dinosaur line, and all those other cancelled sets. Another problem I have with the company is their irrational fear of competition. Competition drives up the quality and lowers the price. It benefits everyone. Unfortunately with Lego's stranglehold on the market and their (to be fair, very successful) smear campaign against all other brands, it's quite easy for the uneducated to assume anything not Lego is a cheap knockoff. I mean, mega is right there next to zulu or whatever the heck those true knockoffs are, why would you assume mega is a competitor when it gets less space than the ACTUAL KNOCKOFFS, almost as if it's intentional, to prevent the layman from learning megas true strength. Besides. The brand you so love is itself a knockoff. Lego did not come first. They copied another brand and crushed it. Something I honestly hope mega eventually is able to do. Like Oreo and hydrox, transformers and gobots, I pray mega will someday soon break free of the shackles placed upon them by Lego.

​@@LegoverseofMete-td8pf bro, you can't just say "bad opinion" like that, I mean I also like Lego more than mega but chill. This is a vid about hot takes, of course there will be comments you don't like. And opinions are OPINIONS you don't have to agree with them they are just different perspectives.

​@@sethicusiii7878I 100% agree with you

Historically katanas had been carried edge up in scabbards to not put any extra pressure and wear to the all important blade, so I understand purists that want to carry them edge up. I personally don't care. It's a futuristic fantasy setting and one can assume that they are made from much better steel than they were historically made from so it's no longer relevant.

Your logic is correct, however, I sheath my Lego katanas blade down because I think it looks better even though historically, they are not down.

They factually cannot grab the handle to unsheathe it in either position without the help of god's hands, so might as well keep them in the orientation that is the most aesthetically pleasing (blades down).

Your logic is off because a Samurai will have his hilt to his left and will grab it with his right hand putting it in the proper position in his hand.

I didn't scroll down, but I just posted the same thing ^^()

... MotherFUCKER why didn't my old job warn me about that crap??? Having the MSDS available is one thing, but that really seems like something they should cover day 1 at a thermoforming plant!

Whats the error?

@@Aly-the-1st In the instructions booklet of a Porsche Lego set a piece is placed differently than the box art

Okay, but what way around do you point your megaphone blaster?
