I'm going to buy the illegal building techniques poster for my room 😄
I own that police car set
BREAK THE RULES LOL.
Next video name:
So freakishly many sets that break the rules
YOOOO
5:01 underneath the mini piece, you can see a vague 4x. I think they accidentally misprinted this step twice, onto the next page.
i noticed that too
Me three
me four
Me five
Dang 73 likes? The guys
1:19 I love the lego movie reference
The error from 7:37 is also found in the 10274 Ghostbusters Ecto-1. Every common printed console piece has had their design updated, but the instructions still showed the old designs.
Edit: I noticed the product page on Lego's website has images that feature the old designs, but the copy that I own has the new designs, like the gauges in the City boat. If I look at the part list for this set on Bricklink it has the new designs in the "Alternate Items" section.
Mine to
I was about to comment that mine has that as well. This also happened for a piece or two on my Ninjago city gardens set
Mine too😅
Thanks to you, I got 20 more insider points from scanning the barcode on the friends cat grooming car part of the video. 😄
Haha that's awesome.
Same!
What if someone makes a website where everyone shares the barcodes so everyone would get tons of free lego
@@orange8productions807
Doesn not work that way. The bar codes are one use only
@@orange8productions807hmmmm

"If I had a nickle for every time I got the wrong printed tile in a single LEGO set, I'd have two nickles, which doesn't seem like a lot but it's weird that it happened twice."
5:03 if you look closely, you can see a "4x" as well, that was meant for the pieces needed window
Step 5: Take a break! You've earned it.
lol true
I don't know if you've covered this, but the Infinity War 76104 Hulkbuster has you build the same arm twice. But they have you add the sticker on 2 slopes BEFORE you build 2, making it so that you have to swap some pieces. I didn't do a very good job explaining it, but you can go check it out. (It's on pages 71-73)
1:42 I see the second 1x1 brick placed a bit lower and highlighted in yellow. Not a mistake then
Yep i see that
At 5:12 in the star lord helmet you can see that it says x4 in the corner so I guess it was a printing problem
Breaking the rules and printing errors are two different things.

The lego customer support is really good. I had the fast and furious charger from speed champions, with white stickers instead of transparent ones, so they sent me a sheet with new stickers. Thanks for that suggestion
lego customer support is just really good in general. i hope they get paid a lot
6:30 something pulled the magenta out of that section, to print pure red you mix Magenta and Yellow. You can see the light blue get a hint lighter above that yellow, too. For sure the same problem there

Can the next one be called HOW MUCH MORE lego sets that break the rules?
You may has very bad grammar
@@Aidanthewatermelonreal
So,many,rule breakers!
i don’t know what age range this content is supposed to target, but i do know i’m just proud to be here
The Ocean Exploration printing ones aren't really mistakes. Some versions of those sets come with the design as printed in the instructions, but during the lifespan of the set, Lego replaced those designs with updated ones across the board. You see it throughout sets around that time.
The only building mistake I remember getting, was a single piece missing from the front of the Chewbacca Millennium Falcon micro fighter set. Luckily I already have a decent collection of other pieces. So I was easily able to put in the missing piece.
Another very weird instruction error, is in set 7962 Anakin & Sebulba's Podracers, every time black pieces show up in the instructions, the directions are dark grey. It gets very confusing, because there are tons of black, dark grey and light grey pieces
True
I’ve noticed that the rendering of the film coming out of the new 100 anniversary film camera seems off. In some of the renderings, the film roll is just floating in front of the camera, but in others, it looks like it’s coming out of the back of the camera, like it’s supposed to be.
Speaking of their QC, I've been building for two decades, and have built hundreds of sets. I've never had a missing piece
The slipping bricks errors are simply an attachment bug. The brick hasn't been locked with others and during posing all bricks move to their corresponding attachments, except the ones who fail to snap to the others. And because unrendered projects often use dull shadowless color, in a huge cluster is a challenge to notice these things.
5:00 The printing for the little parts list was shifted way off into the previous page it was supposed to be on in that helmet instructions, which was meant to be printed for the page that the four 1x2 round plates are placed.
0:25 I noticed that in my instructions aswell, i had watched one of these the same day i built it. It was part of a multiset pack for $40 on clearance, it was about $90-a bit over $100 worth of sets
6:27 When printing four inks are used: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Red color is made from mixing magenta and yellow. It seems that the magenta was wiped off by some spill before setting there.
Lego needs you
7:29 UAV stands for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. I think you're looking for USV, Unmanned Submersible Vehicle.
Best LEGO channel hands down👍
at 6:15 it was just a printing error, before printing the magenta either something dripped onto the paper on its way through the press or something dripped onto the printing blanket
3:54 Jay And Nya Just Resting 😂
on 6:15 if you look closely, it seems like something was spilled on the page. Might legitimately be a manufacturing error, but that sort of problem typically happens in the home
EDIT: yeah I should've watched until the end of that clip, but I was right
EDIT BUT A SECOND TIME: 10:55 I have that set and didn't realize there had been a sticker error. I thought mine was fine but I'm definitely gonna check that, thanks for the heads up lol
Ironic that a Lego police car would include an illegal building technique
I recall seeing the 'skipped instruction number' a couple of times while doing sets as a kid. No clue which ones, but that's definitely an old issue that keep reoccurring.
Set 363-2 (antique car) also has plates inserting into the bricks. I think that was common in the early days. This set was the first Lego set I ever received.
Joshua is sooo excited that you used his mistake in the video!!!!!
Oh god, it's terrifying😟
👍

@@SpitBrix keep up the good work 💪

It's all shits and giggles until Lego giggles and shits out an error
My little brother has that creator mech. And yes! We also have missing step 29. Cool
1:36
Wait! I can see where the 2nd brick goes. It goes underneath right next to the first brick.
"no one is perfect" and yet if you make one mistake everyone judges you
The part we’ve all been waiting for!
In the Lego Harry Potter Hogwarts collector set with mini-minifigures, I had noticed one or two minor steps were left out in like book 3. It is a 1x2 grey slop and one of those 1x2 plates with the grip for holding one of the trees.
I just recently found a mistake in a parts list for the technic monster jam dragon set, the list says there's only 2 shocks but clearly there's 4 used in the build
For the first one in the batcave set, you can see the outline of the second 1x1 piece in front of it on the piece below.
Lego doesn't seem to have realized that putting a plate between two studs stresses the pieces until fairly recently, as there were a lot of sets of around the same vintage as that police car that did that. I know I have a set from the Eighties that did that in one of the back-of-the-box alt builds.
5:06 if you look very closely you can see it say 4x underneath it so they just placed the thing of what pieces you need at the next step 2 times
That Rainbow piece in the thumbnail would actually make starwars sets worth the price they have since Lego already likes to make a Disney princess castle inside of these ships ;)
2:47 That was my first ever Lego Set I put together, I was 5! It's about 14 Years
Great merch idea
0:25 thats crazy, thanks for letting me know i was about to buy it
I've got one I just found in Lego set 4441 "Police Dog Van". In the promotional images, the lights on top of the driver's roof are flush against the tiles that run along the sides behind them, but in the instruction book and the set itself, the lights assembly is offset one stud forward, adding an extra 2x4 plate not seen in the promotional images or the box art.
6:30 I've seen similar stains multiple times, and always thought it's either caused by myself or just a one-off mistake that just happened to be on the exact instruction book I got.
11:03 I have this won I love it
06:50
The colors and shape of the super robot make it look exceedingly similar, but not 100% identical, to GaoGaiGar. They probably used GaoGaiGar as the main inspiration for the design, but altered the colors in some places, and may have drawn inspiration from other robots as well.
This whole video can be summarized in: "Oh, i hope somebody got fired for that blunder!"
LEGO has a good reputation for a reason, They actually take responsibility for their mistakes and make it right. I once bought a $40 heroclix batmobile set that had broken pegs and was essentially in 2 pieces, Wizkids refused to do anything, they only replace "super rare" figures from blind bags, a blind bag is $1.99, the set I purchased, once again was $39.99
Hey SpitBrix,
Is putting a tile in the grasp of a LEGO piece that can hold onto the pole and illegal technique? Because the most recent UCS Imperial Star Destroyer has this happen for each of its engines.
8:04 couldn't have been because i bought this set October 2023 and i got the normal pieces, but i dont know since its a second hand set i found somewhere.
with the hollow 1x2 on starlords helmet there is a little 4x bellow it indicating it wasn't supposed to be an accidental placed brick but instead a brick from the required bricks for this step area
Glad I'm not the only one to notice instruction mistakes
You know what would be even more amazing? If instead of sending a new sticker sheet they'd print things like the Lotus lines. It's not even a complicated design and it looks AWFUL with the stickers.
Super Nice
That Lego Movie quote was top tier at the beginning. 😘🤌
In the Imperium dragon hunter hound set when you empty bag one and open the instructions it tells you to build Jay but the parts for Jay are in bag 2 the only mini figure you can build in bag one is Lloyd and in bag 2 it tells you to make Lloyd but Lloyd was in bag 1 and Jay is in bag 2
I wonder if in some instances the Lego company reconciles it would rather duplicate a step than to fix all of the rest of the step number. It might not be a problem they encounter at all, but maybe adding a duplicate step is a way of maintaining the step index when a step has been removed
The new Exotic Peacock set 31157 has you build the bottom most tail feathers identically, yet the final image, the box art, and the instruction cover has them being being mirrors of one another.
Great submissions, Lego still needs to have more time taken for these instruction sheets.
I haven't noticed that you would have mentioned one mistake in set 70831 (Emmet's house). In the first book on page 44 there is a mistake of the count of yellow 1x2 bricks and even the assembly cutout has wrong amount, but then in the build it has different amount.
0:45 The cannon can shoot projectiles that break stuff.
I have the Lego DeLorean Time Machine. When I got to step 209 in the manual it skips straight to step 233 but the odd part is that the next few pages are printed upside down. I was so confused to the point I looked up the instructions online.
A friend sent me a LEGO-type set (another brand) which does nothing _but_ break the rules if it was actually LEGO. Trying to fit the pieces together can be, tricky.
3:16 this illegal building technique is used in the new Lego Concorde set on step 487. Spotted it while building it. P.S. it’s a great set absolutely loved building it.
That's not an illegal technique, because when it is executed with a tile it is a legal connection. It is only plates that are wrongly used in that way because they are ever so slightly thicker than tiles
The only issue I had with the Concorde is that it’s not very stable. The wings are only one brick thick, which makes them quite weak.
@@EchelonNine A tile has the exact same thickness as a plate. The illegal technique comes when you put the stud of the vertical plate aligned with the studs of the horizontal plate, because that causes the extra stress. If you interleave the vertical and horizontal studs, as on this police car, then no extra stress occurs as the vertical stud can fit in between the horizontal ones and the vertical plate touches the horizontal one.
I have the Lotus Evija Lego set, and it has the sticker mistake, which is pretty cool!
5:09 If you look REALLY REALLY closely you can see a x4 there, so probably designers got exited again
there's an error in the Luke Skywalker's lightsaber set shown in the video but not said, its a colour issue where you are instructed to use blue technick pieces when you are supposed to use gray
Looking at the photos of the two-tone brick instruction page, I can see the faint outline of a water stain on the light blue background, which lines up with the edges of the yellow discoloration. If that doesn’t confirm that something dripped onto the page during printing, I don’t know what does.
In the lego ideas Insect Collection set in book 1, step 53, it tells you to place a configuration using a slope curved 2 x 1 notch left and another on the right but the placement is the wrong way. If you saw the instruction it would make more sense.
1:21
Batman: I only work in black. And sometimes, very very dark grey. (sorry, just had to quote The Lego Movie)
1:44 there is a 1x1 yellowed under and in front of the 1x1 placed higher, its just not too obvious
1:18 lego movie quote
Update for the starlord helmet. I just got it for christmas (2023) and at least didn't notice it.
At 5:06 in the video where the piece is floating you can faintly see 4x within the black pieces below the random floating one
Hello, i recently found that the LEGO valentine lovebird set has a occurrence in the art. The bird on the left has both 2 claws on its legs while the one on the right only seems to have 1.
I found a mistake in the Lego Ford GT because on the box it doesn’t show a little gear piece, but in the set it does like what
i noticed that the lego sesame street set has an error on instruction 13 being the fact a whole 16 by 16 plate appears out of nowhere it was not called for in the instructions it is just there
Look at the instructions for the homing spider droid micro fighter from 2015, the b1 minifig has a little mistake, the b1’s torso is reversed.
“Black and very very dark grey” hey, I get that reference 😊
Dat happen to mine too like I need to place a lego plate but there was an extra plate in the guide that came out of nowhere and I can't find the other plate in the box-
The biggest error is that I don't have a single one of these sets! 😁
"Luke Skywalker's lightsaber"
As a Star Wars fan, that hurts, because that is Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber, not Lukes...
At least it doesn't call it Rey's lightsaber, because THAT would make me livid!
OK i got that exact Speed Champions set last year and never knew about the weird sizing of the yellow line stickers, i just went over to where i have the set shelved and it does have a different size line of both sides. WTF how did I not notice?
Unless it’s a technic set I often find myself building sets on autopilot 😅 like I didn’t notice the mistake on the Havoc Marauder because i don’t look very hard at the instructions
5:12 if you look closer to the brick on the left that’s inside the plate right below it to the left a alittle bit a 4x is visible.
On account of the Star Lord's Helmet mistake, you can see a little 4x number under the 1x2 round plate. Somehow the whole thing moved down from the box with the parts needed in the step.
The 420 Police Car's light on the roof is not a mistake: it was not considered an "illegal" technique at the time. It was later learned that this stresses the bricks, so it's not done anymore, but it was completely intentional. I have that set, and the same car as part of set 560 Heliport.
the fact that it's number is 420 is just beautiful
On the "Brick Rebel" poster, what is wrong in row 2, column one? It seems like two fairly normal pieces with 2 and 1 studs on top respectively, being connected in a normal stud-antistud way.
i found that on my og destinys bounty, in the engines, some 2by2 light bluish gray round tiles are called to be stickered, but the instructions show them as the tie fighter wing prints(second book, idk what page or step
)
