I was pleasantly surprised by how well received my first Lego video was, so today I’m back with another one looking into one of Lego’s most interesting colours rather than just one goofy piece I liked, teal!
Most colours have a very simple history when it comes to Lego, not having much of a history to delve into at all, but teal has been though far more than you would probably expect over the years.
Also, reminder to check out R.R. Slugger’s channel, they’re a huge factor in my recent appreciation for this colour and have some phenomenal videos!

5:57 "…get a real feel of Lego's zeal for teal." Don't lie, the real reason you wrote this video was for that banger.
teal solos every other color i'm afraid
GET OUT OF MY HEAD
When I was younger I went to this robotics camp that had lego mindstorms and big bins of assorted pieces. Everytime I saw a teal piece, I would put them together and collect it in my bin. Eventually I had a big 2x4x ~10 block. Good times…
Okay so I'm really not a lego guy but I do play warhammer and paint the figures and this video really makes me wonder, why don't lego fans just paint other pieces teal?
I was gonna make a comment about how I've only owned two Lego sets, one now and one when I was a kid.
Then I was gonna talk about how I couldn't find what set I had as a kid because the only thing I remember was the baseplate had a pool that used those 6×6 rounded corner pieces as water.
But then, I found out that there was literally one set that contained that piece in blue. It was Classic Value Pack 4293-1. I looked through the contents and, sure enough, that's the set I remember playing with.
I have a really vivid memory of me playing with a car and making it drift until I got in trouble because it left skid marks.
Gonna flex with my teal Edna Krabappel skirt 😎😎😎
I still own Amazon to this day, albeit a very, very played-to-death version with a bunch of parts swapped out (since I took my sets apart so many times a lotta stuff just kinda broke).
I’ve never actually been into Lego. I heard it’s very fun but the price point scares me.
Purple vid when
I loved those 1998 technic sets! The large figures reminded me of crash test dummies. Also the punchers and launchers were cool

"That shit barelly fits" That's what she said
Hahaha I love the ending!
😀
how is it that i’ve gone from hyperfixation to hyperfixation just watching your videos alone
first you make a video about melee samus and now you make a video about my favorite lego color??? i feel seen somehow
Never has anyone on youtube had such a drastically varied range of content that will always manage to enrapture me.
i still have 2 exoforce mechs and their pilots but since then they've become uh, highly custom and not entirely like their original forms and i doubt i could even recreate their true original forms sadly
That ending gag is gonna be so incomprehensible after enough years. And that's a good thing, quality videos of the past should beget annotations for modern viewers.
I don't get anything about Lego but it's always fun to watch people talk about stuff they love
Just found this channel great video btw!!! Would love to see more Lego videos! Maybe some videos on sets that could have been but we’re never produced?
so, teal was always just glanced at here and there, was then fucking murdered in a telltale style choose who dies scenario
and came back with a burning vengeance to become a decently used color overall while somehow getting the spotlight as a brick seperator, competing with the color orange of all things
what a fucking legend
Big yellow might be my favorite Lego channel on YouTube currently
Apparently I'm more into Lego than I thought 🙂
Only thing I can say to this is I have a big f*ck-off-container full of the danish bricks as well as bazillion minifigs, and within that container, there's only a teeny-tiny amount of these elusive bricks.
Which is a shame considering how I would like to one day build a miniature city that could have teal as one of the accent colors for buildings. Rip that, I suppose.
Never thought I would ever watch someone talk about a Lego piece for an extended period of time and you've made me do it twice now. Bravo, Big Yellow. Well played.
I really wish they did a chief reprint
Also I absolutely love how you succesfully integrated LEGO content in a channel primarely focused on Fighting games and Niche ways to play Competitive Pokémon
BRO I INHERITED LIKE 20 SAN PURPLE GATES. I don’t have them anymore but I was gifted like a used mars set or something and it was full of sand purple pieces! Thank you for the nostalgia and knowledge (:
I only recently found your channel from the lego crystal piece video and let me just say you're awesome. I'll admit I actually forgot to subscribe after watching that one but luckily this video popped up in my recommended. I know your channel has mostly other things on it but even if just once in a while you make lego videos I will always watch them so keep it up cause they're great.
Why tf are your nails painted??
I kinda love the pre-bionicle saving the company economic downturn lego had, Slizers/Throwbots, Galidor, all the weird ass 90s sci fi technic stuff, it's such a weird horrendously chrmingly dated era.
Watching this while taking a shit
Big Yellow don't miss
Anyone remember Tiny Turbos? I've loved that theme and I was sad to see it gone after the early 2010s, as I really liked the aesthetic those cars had.
About colors and LEGO, the most interesting to me is the "bley" color.
Basically in the 2000s they changed the dark grey piece color to a different, blue-er shade that's jarringly different and wasn't well-liked.
My brother has a lot of LEGO sets. I used to made little LEGO ducks with the triangular pieces, I remember having a character made of two original dark grey triangular pieces and he has a little brother who looks the same, but in "bley".
Good times.
Such an awesome color. I actually owned some of those sets.
The dark panther set was one of my favorites… but it killed off such a cool color
what's wrong with that 1×1 round piece at the end? sorry im mostly out of the loop on lego
Your videos always feel like a hyperfixation, I love that!
