You know what would be a fun challenge: "Take bricks you never use and work with them to make something." See what you can do with colorful slanted slops.
If you have the time you could even do a bricklink's studio context to see what other came up with.
I watch podcast about creepy stories, history and technology. I do watch some other LEGO YouTubers. But, I prefer to make whim content, I have an idea and I will roll with it. I only do that after thinking about tons of other ideas that I replay over and over in my mind at times to work it out of my system, while staying within content guardrails. I understand the issues with used cheap LEGO (moldy crackers aren't fun to find!) But, if a person looks at the images; if the seller is reliable and knows how to photograph the items for sale, you can pretty much see 90% of the lots. I do have other brands of bricks, finding a use for them is a future subject.😂
It's not ludicrous that Lego doesn't list their parts from the Lego factories on Bricklink. A perfect example is what I was doing recently. I wanted some of the new cows so I check Lego and they are $9.52 each on the PAB site but I can buy them from Germany off of BL for $6.16 each. They would be shooting themselves in the foot if they did that.
I am from BC and registered for BrickCan 2024 for the first time and displaying a MOC. I know you will be neck deep in your new Lego location but, do you think you might keep the Canadian end up and make the show? It’s right beside the Airport with Tim Horton’s nearby!
Have you influnced any of your family members to start building lego? If you could go anywhere in the world and get your lego passport stamped, where would you go and why? P
You should look into the wall control system. It is what I am using to display all of my lego. They are easily adjustable and easy to mount.
i have two mods sets [daily bugle] [Ninjago city gardens] and i am currently building a lego city on a horizontal space any builds ideas that you think should be on a small city love your vids every since i started my city keep going
Would you ever build multiple cities in your next layout in the new location? You could have a highway running through the middle connected to multiple fairly big cities!
Any plans on building a Batcave into the new city layout?
Are you considering building a Jurassic park somewhere in the city?
Keep your city Canadian definitely attempt a Tim Hortens
have you ever checked brick owl or bluebrixx for parts?
Building custom LEGO and MOCs are so much more rewarding than buying a set from LEGO. If your able to design using something like Bricklink Studio and then order the pieces, it becomes a really enjoyable project.
Everyone, let's come together and help this channel get to 500k this year. All we need to do just to show our appreciation for this channel and all the time and effort it takes to make all the vids for our entertainment is to share with just one different person everytime we watch a vid and help this channel grow like crazy.
In my opinion this guy really goes above and beyond to get us all videos to watch and for that brief time allow us to be entertained. Plus, hitting the like button helps also. Either way, it totally free.
Do you happen to do any merchandise like shirts and coffee mugs.
QnA: hello Jordan, Danny here greetings from California, I’m a big fan of your channel because of Lego since I was a kid growing up. My question is are you going to have a Lego ninjago diorama in the new studio that you acquired I think you should combine all the sets plus the Lego mountain you built with the temples I think will be a good fit for the Lego city. Have a great day and God bless!
A question that isn't Lego related. Do you remember the submarines that used to be at west Edmonton mall?
Could you provide links to the steralite drawers and acrylic containers you use?
When you move to your new lego studio are you going to keep some lego sets if yes what???🤔🤔🤔
Oh
Ask Bricksie: Who is your favorite LEGO YouTuber (excluding yourself and family)?
Ask Bricksie: If you had all of the Lego pieces in the world, what would you build?
Tbh, Aston Martin was not what i expected as your favourite. Maybe I'm biased because it was my least favorite of the modern ones. I just wished it wasn't movie related and just the car, but I understand why it is.
Any plan on getting the airport shuttle monorail set add to your city?
I agree with your lego/bricklink idea. why dosn’t Lego make a Bricklink store? Its so easy.
how you ever buy sets that aren't lego
The question at 10:39 is exactly what I've been doing. Jordan hit the nail on the head of LEGO releasing too much stuff but also for me, another reason for switching to MOCs is with the rising prices of new sets, I don't find it worth it anymore to buy them unless they're on sale (and definitely not at Toys 'R' Us anymore since they've jacked up even cheap $20-35 sets by $4-6 over MSRP). I used to buy quite a few sets on release day but I haven't done that in about a year and a half now. I've mainly been buying bulk used LEGO which is much cheaper. For MOCs, lately what I've been doing is taking 6 stud wide City vehicles, which are usually very basic and not worth much, and turning them into more advanced, proper 8 stud wide vehicles. I've also bought MOC instructions in the past but I am going to buy more MOC instructions as I'd rather support a MOC designer directly than give LEGO more money.
I’ve been coming back to your channel over everyone else because I think your personality and video content is better than anyone else. I watch you daily. And have done for about 2 years now. Keep up the incredible work
When are you going to expand your city?
A few questions
Why can't lego contine making more sers from ideas range rather than a 1 off thing good example transformers megaton then never hear again
Or doctor who sets rather than a one off
Why can't lego make more sers thsn one offs
As a complete out there alternative for brick storage in your new warehouse you could build your own PAB wall ❤ love your videos.
Does you city itself have a name?
Will you ever do tutorials on landscaping and trees? I always want to learn more ways to build that sort of thing
With everything youve said all i can say is thank you bricksie for the episode.
I recently started collecting Lego in October 2023 and I have a problem getting rid of the boxes… I just can't bring myself to throw them out. Do you keep your boxes or do they get thrown out immediately? Love the content by the way ❤
ASK BRICKSIE: would you ever try to build a train MOC of a Canadian Pacific or Canadian national locomotive. potash trains are Canada's best
On estimate, how many lego sets and lego pieces do you have?
I know why Lego doesn't offer their parts on Bricklink. There are some countries that you cannot buy parts directly from Lego. I live in Japan and have no access to direct parts from Lego. I have been told that they will do that in the future but that has been going on for 4 years now. There are brick and morter stores here that have a PB wall. We cannot get points at lego stores either. Only online. It is a sad state of affairs here.
Hey Jordan! Before asking my question for your next video, I would like to congratulate you for your cool content! I have a question that is bothering me, about my personal collection, that maybe you already answered, but here it goes: do you have any part of your collection that is stored away, or is it all in display? Does it make sense to keep sets in bags that we will probably never assemble/display again? Sorry if the question does not make sense, but I have a large collection, and no display space for it at the moment… Probably I will have a bit of display space on the future, but there are sets that I know I will never be able to display, and recently I started really to think if that makes sense at all… I do not need the money, but by other hand is "money" that I have in bins that probably will never see the daylight again… Sorry for the big testament, but I would really like to know your input on that! Keep up the good work
Regarding upsizing existing modular buildings, I’ve always had a soft spot for my first modular, the Palace Cinema, but it doesn’t seem to get much love in the Lego city. Any chance you will upsize/modify it?
Ask Bricksie: Would you want Ben and Millie to get into Lego when they get older? And if so, why?
Watching this video and thinking is the elevated train track on our left (Bricksie's right) sagging?
What will you do at 500k? any thoughts or roll it by and push for 1M!
I didn't realize that the new space is bigger than your house, really puts into perspective how big it is
Cool to hear about the inspiration you got from brickcrafts
18:33 I 100% agree that Lego and bricklink should be synced
Thanks for answering my question, I hope lego does something like it. Also realistic common cars that aren't race cars is a bigged missed opportunity by Lego
I didn't know the origin story of the name Bricksie
Did you get the series one bricklink designer program sets if so what sets?
