My immediate reaction to the Among Us set being rejected was "it's literally a game about secretly being a murderer/looking to find the person that's secretly a murderer"

Strider: how could they reject Yellow? Could it be because of the structural integrity? Yellow: *is about a person ripping their chest open and spilling out their organs and blood, being pitched as a children's toy* Me: it's a mystery.

Here’s what I think they should do with “small yellow”: have the set come in two bags. One for the main build, and another for the bricks that spill out of the chest!

Maybe the among us one got rejected because the whole ship would have been too big as one whole set. But it would have been cool if rooms of the ship were sold separately or in packs for the small ones and you could mix and placement of the rooms and combine it with rooms from other maps.

If any rejected Lego set should've been on the list by default, it's without a doubt the Krusty Krab It was such an amazing set and it got every single detail from the show with 100% accuracy! And it's been years since we've gotten a Lego SpongeBob set so this could've been used to revitalize the line! It's a huge disappointment that it got rejected, but at least we're finally getting a Sonic The Hedgehog set!

i'm actually surprised that among us was gonna get a lego set

I feel like the Among Us set was rejected due to how they had no idea if its relevancy would fare during the redesign period. It takes up to a year and a half for approved Ideas sets to come out and if the IP chosen fizzles out in that time (for example, Fall Guys), it likely wouldn't sell how LEGO would want it. Apologies if my wording is off

2:18 I think it is the other way around. Innersloth is an indie studio, and Lego asked too much from then. And going by a financial standpoint, innersloth could not take the risk.

My best guess for the among us set was that lego sees it as a fad so they don’t want to make a big set that will be super dated in 2-3 years

Howdy! Thanks for dropping in 😀 If you have any suggestions for future lego videos, feel free to comment them here 🙂

My guess as to why Yellow was rejected has to do with legal issues. The original Yellow, as a sculpture, is a copyright of the artist, the same man proposing that it be made a reproducible set. I suspect LEGO would owe him royalties on every set sold, and that they didn't want to be in the position of an individual potentially leveraging his copyright if, for whatever reason, he ended up dissatisfied with the arrangement.

I thought about the idea of an Among Us set. And the plan I had was that there could be all 4 maps with 3 of the original skins each (there are 12 original skins). I was also thinking about hats and fabric costumes so you could customise crewmates. I was gonna do a vent system too, but it might be difficult for anything that isn’t the Skeld or that ice planet. The Airship could be vertical, opening up and having the moving platforms moveable. Still stuck on how to make MiraHQ unique, though. Maybe I could make a vent system for that too, but it’s not connected enough like the Skeld or the ice planet.

5:04 The LEGO jurassic park t rex rampage set actually includes a bloody hand in one of the rooms.

Speaking of the LEGO Mario line. It’d be pretty cool to finally get a bomb boo (or as I like to call them, Boombs) in one of the sets. So we will all finally have a small LEGO version of Boo himself in our collections. We have too many regular LEGO boos anyways.

11: Among Us - Lego officially doesn't want to license violent videogames thus they probably never even contacted the creators of Among Us. 10: Futurama - The cartoon portrays large amounts of alcohol and tobacco consumption. 6: Little Yellow - that can't be the reason, the ship in the bottle set also has just a bunch of pieces dropped in as "water". I think its just that the head doesn't resemble a human head enough. 5: Surf and Rescue - I bet it was just the theme. Lego didn't consider the cancer message at all, just that they have already a line of beach sets and they probably had already other guard tower sets in mind. 4: Fall Guys - my theory: Damage. Legos are durable but maybe lego was concerned that the set would encourage kids to throw and drop the figures more that they could handle. 1: Anatomini - It's funny, but jeeeeesus, I would wake up screaming seeing it at night. I bet there are kids out there this thing gave nightmares to

"what would lego gore look like?" *then proceeds to show lego organs and lego skeleton as a transition*

i doubt among us lego rejection was due to licence innersloth would have had no issue with it considering how open they are to fan works ecs. I think it's more of lego not wanting to make a set for a single game of which it was unknown if it would stay in popularity which it didn't

I'd heard that LEGO actually tried Legend of Zelda sets, but Nintendo kept rejecting them.

2 things 1. Damien's story resonates with me as my grandmother had skin cancer and passed away in 2012 and I still miss her, she was wonderful. 2. As to why Lego would reject a LOZ set my theory is that later in the franchise things got way, WAY darker and the fae in later games were always depicted as cleverly censored but mostly naked. Hope this helps

After I saw that the among us set was rejected, I was cheering, as joyful as can be that it would not see the light of day to haunt my every nightmares.

I really want Lego set's from Namco, Capcom, Snk

Best guess for me why Among Us was rejected is because it's about discreetly sabotaging and murdering your crewmates so Lego eventually got cold feet.

If among us successfully got a Lego set, that would be the only time we would witness disguised toast playing with Legos

PhantomStrider: maybe anatomy was removed for the 2128 bricks, The Lego deathstar: 4016 bricks

Nice video like always man. Im just really suprised the fact you didnt mention the Legend of Bionicle set. It was extremely popular and there was a whole scandal in the Lego community about it! For people who don't know, the set was supposed to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Bionicle, the theme that basically kept Lego from , well DYING. It was during the 2000 LEGO faced with serious issues. Unfortunately, the older LEGO community made a fuss about it and started an long drama because "If i dont like this Lego theme, nobody should! " which is just so stupid.

“While fall guys isn’t as big as among us, well pretty much nothing is” Minecraft: am I a joke to you?

Let's not forget about the Rammstein lego set that got rejected even though it didn't have any copyright images.

I love these lego episodes! Keep it up!

The Damien story really brought tears to my eyes. You definitely helped play a part in the cause of awareness. Great channel. ❤️

1) I think the reason Zelda hasn't got a LEGO set is because LEGO are planning a Zelda theme. 2) Here is an idea for a LEGO List: Top 5 Best and Worst LEGO themes.

Howdy PhantomStrider. I am Stephan, the designer of Anatomini. What a great video! Thanks for your enthusiasm and use of the footage of anatomini through your video. New subscriber!

Reminds me of a Lego Aliens set I put up LEGO ideas back in about 2014. It got about 3K supporters before it got rejected, with it being a brand they didn’t want to be associated with

The animated Boo at the beginning was precious

I would've first guessed the Among Us set was rejected bc of violence (even tho it's really tame but hey corporations can be finicky af), but they accepted Star Wars, so idk

I love seeing videos where people talk about something they're really interested/passionate in I like your Lego videos a lot ^^

I think the reason the among us set was rejected by lego was to avoid any controversies regarding the popularity of the game. Like if the set was released and people found out about the set, they would probably think lego was just trying to cash in on the popularity of among us. And once you know it, 12 year old reddit memers would spam among us memes regarding the situation. Lego probably just didn't want to deal with any of that.

I love Lord of the Rings but there is a lot of blood, and there are tons of Lego sets like Shelab the giant spider featuring a Frodo figure with his eyes rolled back showing white. And many sets feature the Oarks that are very bloody in the movie. So violent sets should no be a problem because they can easy not advertise the violence. Like the plane scene in Indiana Jones has a Lego set even though the guy Indie is fighting gets sliced in the plane propeller. Just wanted to let you guys know what I know. Amazing video by the way, keep up the amazing work!

I would like to see a Top 10 discontinued Lego Sets.

4:54 a friend gave me a lego tecnich for my 9th birthday, i was absolutley traumathaized

2:32 “this has got to be *among* “ was that intentional lmao

okay, so just got past the Lego Zelda segment, and i at least have a small idea as to why it hasn't happened (bear in mind, i'm talking before Lego Mario) Nintendo's very stingy with their IPS, so itkinda makes sense that Lego wouldn't want to get on Nintendo's badside by asking for Zelda to become a Lego set - but maybe Lego Mario will lead into Lego Zelda?

I swear to God, if there is an actual Among Us set in this list *I just finished writing this and there pops the 11th entry*

The yellow bricks coming out of Small Yellow could be done since I’ve seen a Lego set where you pour bricks into a little bowl around a small tree.

I won't lie, the set I was saddest to see rejected was the Lego Rammstein set. It looked so bloody cool and I love the band. But licensing issues are a thing unfortunately...

Perhaps if lego still made boardgames the among us set would have worked better. Or if the among us sets could have been easy reworked into the city space theme.

I remember there was a pitch on the lego ideas site for a set based on Count Olaf's house from A Series of Unfortunate Events. I *really* hope that one gets accepted; that'd be fun as heck :D Actually now that i think about it, there are a bunch of locations from ASoUE that'd make for good lego sets. Places like Uncle Monty's house, Prufrock Preparatory School, the Queequeg, the Carmelita, the Hotel Denouement, etc.

For the among us set, the one other reason is that it would use up a lotta pieces, making the set more expensive, unless they made it some ultimate collectors series.

Bad news everyone. There were 3 sets based on video games in the finals of Lego ideas selections. These were: Hyrule Castle, Samus's ship with Ridley, and a house from Animal Crossing. But they were all turned down. How unfortunate.

Answer to why Zelda was rejected: The Zelda projects were denied as the rights to use Nintendo properties were licenced to a different LEGO competitor Edit: Thanks for 216 likes! Edit 2: OML so many likes! Thanks everyone!

Shocking that Futurama's lego set was rejected! What a shame. Great tier list Strider. 😁👍 Edit: Thank you for all the likes guys!

Imagine though, among us as a Lego set. It would be like a board game where you get a card saying crew mate and impostor and somehow killing people. -Edit It would be like cluedo lol

Hey, Strider. These LEGO videos have been fun and all, but I think you can get personal with some of these LEGO videos. Like, your own personal Top 10 Favorite/Least Favorite Sets, themes, minifigures, wishes, set ideas, etc?

Me and my dad own probably close to $10,000 worth of Lego including all the minifigures and expert sets

4:09 decapitation isnt lego friendly also lego: *takes head off and replaces*

I think its interesting that Lego makes Jurassic World sets, when Jurassic Park, is one of the most stress inducing films I have ever seen. Now, Park is very different to World, but the concept of World is still man-eating dinosaurs.

I love the idea of working with logo, but I never find the sets I'm looking for. Maybe it's because I'm a 32-year-old woman. The Adventure Time set looks exciting and would actually get me watching the show and, when I saw the proposal for a "Yellow" miniature set I was ready to put out money. I'd also love some nice graceful realistic animal sculptures and busts and some customizable wall art. I'd build functional art, like decorative lamps. I'd even be up for building a complex back-lit stained glass window. I guess I long for some aesthetic space between the cold grey space ships and the pink dream house looks of Lego Friends. Can't I just build something of lasting beauty as a design or art piece that isn't built around TV or other passing trends? Can't I make Yellow? Or a detailed graceful white cat? Or an exciting abstract sculptural lamp to place in my window? Maybe one day I'll finally get to make Yellow.

Howdy!Hope you’re having a good day phantomstrider!Love from Lebanon 🇱🇧

Lego had another lego ideas set where they had you put a ton of clear studs in a container with no further instruction. They could probably get away with something similar on small yellow.

Lego: Rejects Futurama set idea Bender: Yeah?! Well… I’m gonna go build my own toy company… with blackjack. And hookers!

There was a fan of the band Rammstein that recreated the stage from the 2019 tour. It easily got the 10,000 votes and even the band approved of it. It was rejected by Lego because according to them it didn't follow the guidelines about basing the set on a someone else's intellectual property. Personally I think the band is just too controversial for Lego.

I actually saw Yellow in irl once, I was at a Lego art exhibit in Portland Oregon I think and Yellow was there. I remember thinking it was just ok and liking the other pieces better, so when I saw all the posters at the place advertising Yellow I was confused on why they advertised Yellow specifically.

11:48 I bet LEGO might reconsider a Fall Guys set now

if anyone is wondering the adventure time game displayed at No. 2 was a game called lego dimensions, similar to the skylanders games with a portal and everything

The most disappointing one for me was the Christmas Story house. It was such a perfect design.

The stranger things set could be seen as too scary for young children.

the closest we have to ultra gore is in the jurassic park set i believe, the on e with the massive t rex build and the archway. inside the archway there is a hand on the door with blood on one end to basically say he got eaten and is dead

I actually got a signed ISS. In the local LEGO-store in Nuremberg, there was a event, were you could let it be signed by the designer cuz he lives in Erlangen and the store in Nuremberg was the nearest to him.

4:27 there is a cutscene from this game where a soldier gets his head cut off.

It's kinda funny, with Lego Futurama, we technically got that when Mega Bloks/Construx made a couple figures- Bender and Fry. Just no actual sets, outside a Bender buildable figure.

There are So many great moments, characters, places, vehicles, and gadgets from Futurama that would make excellent Lego sets. We're missin' out! And hey, great video Strider! I'm loving the new stuff. I mean I love the old stuff too but that's not what's in question

9:45 Weeeelll... Lego has several Sets around which basically tell you to just... dump 200something 1x1 tiles somewhere so it looks like dirt or water - I LOOK AT YOU, BONSAI TREE!

I think the Fall Guy problem is the reason they were hesitant on Among Us, The Simpsons is(/was) a timeless show whereas Among Us and Fall Guys are passing fads that'll be forgotten in a few years time

i honestly would've LOVED among us legos, they're so cute 🥺

They could've done the Shaun Of The Dead one as a limited collectors set, it definitely would have sold, especially in the UK

dude you just unlocked a memory or none other. When I was a really little kid I went to a art show in Utah I think. I saw yellow there and it was awesome.

OMG thank you Strider for making more Lego videos I love your Dark Web Cartoons Banned commercials and Lego videos it's so cooled to see more lego videos :)

The easiest way to have 16+ sets Just keep it on the website, since most of the kids buy Lego from stores, they can just keep it in the website so they can just keep it in a section of the Lego store

Me and my brother actually saw the chest opening one in person maybe 5-6 years ago and he moved one of the pieces lol

around 1 or 2 years ago I actually got the ISS set with out knowing how hard to find it was

I've always wondered how people designed these sets because so meny of these have new parts unlike those in other sets how do they design these 3d modelling programmes 3d printing/ making your own moulds

I’m glad the among us one was rejected. I’ve honestly felt like Jimmy Neutron in the “happy show show” episode because of that game

LEGO: We don't wanna do Shaun of the Dead because of the violence and gore. Me: Didn't The Lone Ranger have a heart-eating cannibal as the villain?

7:54 I actually got this from lego land when I was like 6

You know, I always thought the three burned Anakin Skywalker figures were pretty gory, especially because they represent the most disgusting scene from the entire three trilogy’s. Surprised Lego made them in the first place, seeing what they rejected here.

I only found out about Anatomini from this video, and now I’m kinda mad it got rejected, because IT LOOKS SO COOL

8:52 you know it's a good Lego sculpture when a ex president likes it 😀

All of the stores in my area had the ISS. Maybe I’m just near like a Lego factory or something?

Love your videos, they're so relaxing

That Troll 2 voice clip was hilarious

Anatomini looks a little bit like something you'd see in FNaF

You always show up in my recommended every so often. Its always nice to go through and watch your videos though

I'm glad Boo is getting more screen time in your videos this year.☺ Years ago he RARELY got any attention and regonition.

Even though I know that it will never happen, I still want a lego nuketown

lego: rejects among us set every one: careful hes a hero

Tracking down that ISS Lego sets soon to add to my collection of space Lego sets

does people really need a set to recreate small yellow? just get a bunch of thouse yellow 2x1 and the community share the tutorial, you wont need to hunt tons of different pices like other builds

5:26 be impressed with me I guess 😂 I honestly have never heard of this

Your ghost character is so cute in animated style. Keep up the amazing content. I'll see you next time.

When I saw boo move so smoothly at the biginning I realized how pleased my eyes can be
