3 fragile and illegal LEGO builds

These builds are the mega-sized, and somehow much more fragile sibling builds of a simple design in a previous video: • A small but VERY illeg...
Illegal building techniques come in many varieties, and some of them can actually make your builds much stronger (due to the stress they contain). These incomplete connections do the opposite. There’s very little stress on the builds at all-too little in fact-so fragility is the name of the game. The 1x3 plate version of this design is actually quite sturdy. It’s the weight of these larger builds pulling on those incomplete connections that make these designs so challenging.
Beyond just the fragility, this video turned out to be surprisingly difficult. Between being out of practice, filming with a new camera, and a couple of airplane flyovers I didn’t notice during filming, it made for an unusually frustrating experience. I thought it only fitting to share many of those failures with you--the culminating fail being the building of the interlocking rings, which turned out to be impossible with the light and camera rigging in the way. So I had to work a little off screen magic off. But the final result cracked me up, so I think it was worth it. : )

I really appreciate you sharing some of the 'failures' while filming. Life isn't always about getting the rings to interlock perfectly the first time. I genuinely laughed when it first broke (in a spectacular fashion!), because it seems so out of character.

This video really gives out the “ Would you like these 32 triangles or double it and give it to the next person “
Thank you for making these videos the way you do. We've collected a few hundred pounds of Legos between myself, my wife and our kids over the last twenty years and have recently started to do more serious, custom scenes and builds. Your videos have been inspirational, insightful and wonderful all around. So truly, thank you! From our whole entire family!

I never really understood why he built these. Till I started looking “official” master builders from LEGO Land. It’s very interesting what they deem “illegal”

Maybe I don't get your comment fully, but "illegal" building techniques are just methods that bend the pieces to breaking, or damage the pieces if they stay stressed with how they're placed

Illegal builds are ones that place stress on the blocks. In the short term with new pieces there's probably no problem but if pieces are kept together in an illegal build for an extended time as can happen with Lego then there's a risk of breakage. A fully legal build will never break short of faulty plastic.

What does this comment mean?
5:15 I'd say this configuration was infinitely better than the wheel. It had so many curves, and used all the Legos available. Bravo.
I didn't know that there were "ILLEGAL" Lego builds. Do you worry that Lego cops are going to show up and slap little Lego handcuffs on you?
If ever I'm having too much trouble putting my lego creation together I just perform ancient rituals so ~magic happens~
Absolutely worth sharing! Seeing the struggle even makes I appreciate your work even more!!! It's fantastic!!!
This guy's bricklink orders must seem very strange to the supplier receiving them
This probably my favourite brick ever. It reminds me of childhood. Thank you for building with it.

Truth
The whole concept of "illegal building techniques" is so strange. Who decided that one way of using legos, a toy, is "illegal"? If you're able to build something with it and it works why should it be "illegal"? It just limits the usefulness of legos.
the creaking sounds of the legos is so stressful. for the legos especially because of all the stress being put on them
Me: wait, magic is illegal Me: Oooooooooh, I see
I love how its held together by hopes and dreams
Imagine an alternate universe where LEGO was meant for stuff like this and what we see as "legal building" is actually illegal

LEGO would be the world's richest company from the stress failures of pieces with entire art museum exhibits needing rebuilt every few years, and every few months for the dynamic examples :) It would be a beautiful place though, and I think I'd enjoy a place in the underground city-scape gang rings, possibly built from the reassembly of all the broken pieces from regular society :)

Good for him on wearing gloves... You don't want to leave any fingerprints on something this illegal in case the lego police finds out...
it's craft macoroni and cheese until another comes in
I like your white gloves and white shirt. A little bit of mystique going there.

I love your work..❤ You just built a coliseum! It's important to see what the designs can do and also their limitations. I'm glad you kept the footage of the pieces breaking bc it shows that yes, it's made of many small pieces that somehow work together!!🤩🎶
So satisfying and hilarious
Cool! Could the “legs” be spread even wider to create a convex wheel?
the circles just feel like big cookies
This could've used a touch of "In the hall of the mountain king" for the increasing insanity
I expected him to bend the long brick on top of the other brick but what he did instead was way worse...
I wonder how pricy a hobby like this is. Because I believe you have to custom order so many of the same type of bricks, and LEGO ain't cheap

Why are they ‘illegal builds’? Do the police show up after you’ve built them and ask to inspect your Lego collection? “Put the instruction manual down and kick it over to me…you’re going down for a long time for that double stacked fold over three by six; you sick bastard!”
Very nice!
Very cool!!

You must be independently wealthy, there’s gotta be a fortune in legos
