Just wanted to take a minute to say happy December and thank you so much for watching and commenting and being here!!
This year has been a bit of a journey for us, and we're so grateful for your support.
Also, if you happen to be shopping for the holidays and like any of the items in the video, here are some things featured in the video that we can wholeheartedly recommend (and would be amazing gifts for anyone nerdy like us):
- Keychron K4 Pro mechanical keyboard - after a ton of research + personally trying out the eight final contenders, we've decided this is the ultimate keyboard. We each have one: amzn.to/48c4hXv
- the LEGO grand piano (still in stock here amzn.to/41fQWvj or backordered on LEGO bit.ly/eggybricks-lego) is a weird and underrated set that was expensive for its time ($399). But it's an incredible melding of form and function, and is the set that got us truly obsessed with LEGO for the first time. (Also comes with a train hub! which we've turned into an elevator)
- The Way Things Work ($14.67 with coupon) is a delightful explanation of how everything in the world works, from a woolly mammoth. It's kind of like LEGO (in that it's perfect for children and adults) amzn.to/3uVUtTg
- (Or if you want to know a LOT about how your body works, Bruce Alberts' Molecular Biology of the Cell, 7th edition (2022) is probably his last edition and therefore the best textbook that will ever exist. And if you've read it please talk to us!!: amzn.to/3Nn4NtX )
Any (like, any) purchases made after clicking these links will contribute to the channel and support more LEGO citybuilding!
(Also FYI for keyboard nerds V uses the Akko Lavender Purples and M uses the Outemu Silent Yellow Jades (V says yuck))
❤
Can't wait to see how this develops. Hopefully the algorithm gives you a break and this series gets you two the attention your channel deserves!
And so it shall.
Hi! I came here via the algorithm ✌️
The algorithm brought me here
🖤💙💜💙🖤
I just found you thanks for all this information. I have watched almost all of your videos, and I am going to watch then all. I'd like to ask, what kind of laptop you use, I'm in the market for a replacement as my chrome book is just about done. I'd like to get one that you use when making your trains and designs for your city.I hope that you can show me more stuff you have done. Also Thanks for making a small space city, I have a very small space and your city is what I would like to build.🥰
The production value of this channel is just through the roof
Thanks so much!! We started this channel partly to learn how to shoot and edit so it’s really nice to hear that you like it!
This is a very impressive model, but can we also talk about how good the presentation of this video is too? It looks like a project you would spend a whole semester working on for a university class! Excellent content
Thanks so much!! We’re trying really hard to make these good, so it’s really nice to hear that you like it!
"Canonically this goes to the next city"
Guess it's time to knock a hole in the wall... lol
Very much looking forward to everything regarding this project! :)
At about 7:40 It was really cool to see the time lapse build of the tunnel.
Seen the shape squish and flex a bit was really satisfying. It helps showcase the medium of Lego being used which I think of so consistently as such a rigid structure. By the end it all comes together so clean, strong, and looks like it snaps right into place!
......your Lego city is more accessible than where I actually live lol T-T
You guys are fantastic and severely underrated, keep up the excellent work!
Thanks so much!!
Eggybricks stands for quality over quantity, thank you for that! Great video.
Another amazing eggybricks video! Love seeing your design and planning process and the results look great.
Also, one thing I really love about your two's approach to LEGO is the conscious effort to aim for an aesthetic that brings just enough detail without distracting from the fun bricky-ness of LEGO.
I am so here for this. Your videos have such a fantastic chill vibe.
Holy moly!!! Instant subscribe. This is so incredibly well-thought out. I love how you try to make the city as livable as possible for the minifigs, the bike lane made me especially happy. Super excited to see where this goes!!!
Thanks so much!!
I love everything about this, and that border ties it all in so well. Love that you're also considering wheelchair (etc.) users with the lift and drop kerbs.
As others have said, how are you not getting more attention?!
All your videos have been great, can't wait for the next update.
Great video! Excited to see how the city grows
This is my dream lego layout, just so thoughtfully put together!
I've yet to see any Lego sets that feature OSHA supervisors, and there's no Lego brick that cites any building codes, so those stairs are canonically safe to use. 😂 overall it looks amazing so far and I can't wait to see the next update!
You guys have my favourite Lego channel by far, always happy when I see you’ve uploaded!
Your production quality has increased tenfold (not that it was by any means bad before). Can’t wait to see how this goes, you two are great!
Thanks so much!! We started this channel partly to learn to shoot + edit so this is really great to hear!
The rainbow stairs are awesome!
This is gonna be dope! 🔥
Been too long since I've seen your work on CZcams.
Fantastic as always. Can't wait for your next update.
Omg this is amazing can't wait for updates!
Btw in places where you can't see them you could use duplo bricks, they fit, are sturdier, and you could buy them used for cheap!
I appreciate how much planning went into this and the practical considerations that were given towards how minifigs would actually inhabit the city vs. just plopping down some modulars and calling it a day. It's also nice that you went into detail on how the different infrastructural elements were designed and constructed. Lastly, I think it's neat you hinted towards your own custom city lore with the mystery tunnel. Of all the LEGO city concepts and videos I've come across this is one of the more promising ones. I will def be looking out for more updates and ideas to steal for my own future hypothetical LEGO city :)
Another great video. So fresh and fun to watch.
I love the rainbow stairs and the protected bike lane sm!
I LOVE THE STAIRS!
Love the focus on great active transit infrastructure! Looks very @NotJustBikes compatible! 🚴♀🚶
This is an amazing topic for a video - I’ve debated for a while about what scale of builds to make for my figs.
Fantastic as always!
Yey, the magical LEGO couple uploads again
doing much better, thanks so much for watching out for us!!
Nice. Looks like we have two more videos coming out pretty soon. Looking forward to them.😀👍
Your explanation about MILS technique was so simple and easy to understand! I have heard this term a lot, but until now I didn't know what did mean, especially because English is not my native language, not even my third I would say. I hope you get the most of fun of building your city! n_n
Just LOVED the idea of buinding a completely custom Lego City! And your ideas are just amazing!!! LOVED IT!!!
Thanks so much!!
I’m already obsessed with this series ❤❤❤ can’t wait for the next part
I clicked so fast! Love this channel. You folks need more traction and visibility. Lego is so addictive. And takes up so so much space but I can't quit it.
Thanks so much!! And yes we have the same problem as you can tell...
Love your videos! Looking forward to seeing how your city grows :)
Thanks! Beautiful video, and great new ideas for my own LEGO City with limited space 🤗
eggybricks does it again! your content is so thoughful, educational and inspirational! thank you both! you have mad skillz!
oh VERY exciting! This looks super fun! If you need supports in the Back, and wanna get some more bricks by cannibalizing in future, I presume maybe Duplo might work? But it might clash with the look too much? Not sure, REALLY adoring this!
Amazing! Love your videos - and the effort, planning, and care you put into planning your videos/cities!
Can’t wait to follow this ❤
Incredibly high effort video, it's always a joy to watch. Awesome work and can't wait to see what's next!
Thank you so much! Maybe one day we can figure out the train schedule that will get our figs from Eggopolis to New Brickerton?? 😺
@@eggybricks hahaha I love that. Let's do it! I'll make my own tunnel so it's ready :D
You just earned a subscriber. I really like your style and the idea of building a completely custom LEGO city build is a dream of mine (if I ever get the time). Definitely going to follow this build!
So cool! Can’t wait for the next episode!
Squamish???! I live there! how crazy!!! your project is really cool! I love your planning and looking forward for the next episode!
Love the way you're elevating the back row. I might have to steal this idea for my limited display area as well
Please do!!
Soooo hyped for the next episode, you had me hooked from the start. Mind-blowing idea and even better execution. Congrats!
I have just finished binging your guys’ videos, I cannot wait for more! Fantastic job!
YEEEES. I’m so excited to get to watch this from the beginning!
Y'all are one of my favorite Lego CZcams channels. I don't get why you haven't blown up yet. Thanks for another fantastic video!!!!
Love how you're guiding viewers through your thought- and building processes. Can't wait to see more!
Amazing work ❤
Great quality of everything!!! Keep Up the awesome work :)
super chill video! cant wait to see more
got to say not a lot of other creators put THIS amount of effort into everything about a video/project, i love this!!! i cant wait to see where this goes!!
thanks so much!! we feel seen
To be fair brickcrafts puts literally everyone to shame
so sick, you guys rule!
Nice design and video editing. Great job !
Love the intentionality and whimsy you bring to your videos!
wow. this is exactly how id always picture a lego city being built. i think its the optimal way to go about making it both realistic and still fun and made for the figures. also, most importantly, cohesive and scaled well ! definitely looking forward to the next releases
wonderful vid, looking forward to the next part
I love what you've built, very pretty. Im of course very bias for rainbows and pride colours ^w^
I also really enjoy how your builds are distinct from other Lego Cities (that I also like), such as Brickcrafts.
Thanks so much!!
wake up babe new eggybricks dropped
❤️
I was immediately captivated by this video! I really love the lens through which you're approaching a LEGO city build, and I'm super excited to see what comes next.
Looks like you're having fun with this :)
I love your videos! It is seen you put so much time and effort into them, and I love the calm vibe :)
Thanks for seeing us :)
Love seeing the step by step process behind developing your city. 🎉
Can't wait for the next episode!
Just got this video in my feed! It’s amazing! Just subscribed.
This was great well thought out and well produced content.
Im a huge lego fan with my own city (9x4 1/2 baseplate footprint).
I struggle to find high quality lego content but this looks like its hitting all the right notes and its a breath of fresh air hearing from other women builders, i think ill rewatch this episode and then the series as it grows with my partner, she doesnt build aswell but appreciates the art of it.
Best of luck with it! Looking foward to more! 👭👏
Thanks so much! Hope we get to see your city sometime!!
Just came across your guys’ channel and it’s amazing!!! The content is literally made for peeps like me in creating Lego cities and thank you so much for the ideas, smooth video editing, and putting realism instead of just buying more Lego modules!
I love this project! I’m already so inspired to build my own stuff. Better get some Lego for the holidays 😊
Yessss do it!! And show us
I'm super excited for this! It was really inspiring watching your ninjago MOC video, I love the potential of small buildings that you have and I'm trying to create more of that in my city, so I can't wait to see how this unfolds. :)
i love the textures you gave to all of the builds!! excited to see how the city develops. love the video quality, hope your channel gets picked up by the algorithm more!
this is so cool! can't wait for the rest of it
This was an awesome video, cool to see your approach to the architecture
Love the editing style of the video!
This is really amazing work as always! I really enjoy these type of LEGO cities where you get really creative and work around space restrictions (instead of having huge LEGO cities in dedicated rooms and basements etc.) I can't wait to see the rest of this series!
Thanks so much for the kind words!! Nothing against huge cities - they're very impressive - there just probably doesn't need to be more videos of people who have more LEGO than most of us
💖💗💓 Bravo! Beautiful city so far. Can hardly wait to see more!
Nice attention to detail. Loving the city so far!
Alright, the algorithm needs some work. This is amazing!
Love your presentation style and attention to detail. Inspiring!!
Cool project and editing. Subbed!
Fantastic city! Looking great so far
LOVE IT
as always great movie ... we want mooar :D
Ooooh very cool
You are amazing! Creatives, talented and well planning, and the production of it, is some of the best you can find on CZcams. Without a doubt the best Lego channel on the internets! Looking forward watching this city grow and follow the progress. Keep it up! Eggybricks rulez!
This ia really cool channel. Have you seen the @birckcrafts channel. If you like city builds I'd recommedn that one too!
I have eagerly been awaiting this video!
The projects that you two work on are so cool and it's an incredible challenge to make your own city completely from scratch.
I'm already excited for episode 2 in this series! However long that takes I know it will be worth it. Cheers!
Wow, thanks so much for the patience and the kind words. And thanks so much for watching!!
Aaand …subscribed.
Love the way you explain the planning phase, can’t wait for the for the next video.
This is a really high quality video. Awesome job on the city so far!
Some of the best produced Lego content on yt, immediately subscribed!!
This was genuinely super interesting and really well edited. Cant wait to see what happens next!
Love the videos, keep up the great work, Hopefully the uploads are a little more frequent but the quality is incredible. Cant wait for the train video
Thanks so much, and thanks for the patience haha! We’re hoping to release this series on a very regular schedule but it’s so hard to resist the urge to film one more thing
Just subscribed! Looking forward to more in this series!
I love discovering small lego channels like you and hopefully the CZcams algorithm makes you justice!
You earned my sub, huge love 😁!
I'm a huge fan of city design and Lego so I love this a lot. Thanks
this feels very personal, love the effort put into this!!
This is so cool and looks sooo professionally presented! Hope more people discover this awesome channel and video!
Keep it up! Loved the video! Compact cities is what's I'm about too! Don't have all the space that the big CZcamsrs have 😅
AHHHH!!! SO CUTEE!!! LOVE THE STAIRS!!!!
Thanks so much!!
Liked and subscribed and excited to see the progress along time
