Here's an obvious Lego obsession: Lego loves putting their stud shooters in as many sets as possible, especially Star Wars. And they tend to put them in sets that don't really need them

definitely true but its because its a fun play feature for kids nowadays they use a lot less of them though, and around 2020 minifigures have mostly gone back to the regular blasters and guns and they’ll usually be on vehicles as weapons. again, they are play features so it makes sense and the newer style stud shooters look a lot better anywau

It makes sense that Batman is so popular compared to other superheroes, because both him and his rogues love their vehicles, gadgets, and cool lairs. When you think of the Joker, you think of abandoned theme parks; when you think of Penguin, you think of the Iceberg Lounge. You don’t really get that for many other heroes or villains, so you don’t get as many ideas for sets

Wow never noticed!

In the last Jurassic Park wave, each set had a different color frog integrated somehow. The brown one was part of the poop pile Dr Saddler dug through. The Batman thing I think is two fold. One is that he is a very recognized character. Two is that he had more vehicles and gadgets than anyone else, thus easier to make sets for. And I always loved how in Lego City Adventures the Mayor dressed as corn with no explanation. I always thought a good joke would have been if the two political parties in Lego City were The Veggie Party and the Animal Party. Thus everyone running for office wore a vegetable or animal costume. And rather than actual politics they used something more basic. The veggies, like Mayor Flek focused on hard work, while the Animals just talked about how cool they were for picking their animal costume.

It would be such LEGO joke if politicians just argued which costume is better. Honestly more entertaining than real politics

Wonderful video, I’ve always loved creative use of existing Lego pieces but didn’t know about any of these examples. One quick correction though: the “dragons” are lions, hence the name of the Lego set. Lions are generally operated by two people, whereas dragons are operated by many more.

I just see it as them using molds more efficiently rather than making a bunch of new ones for small things like clubs and the set designers being creative with them, that or the designers are always hungry and and trying to sneak food into as many sets as possible but I think it's the first part

Frogs were also used as heads for the gargoyle statues in the Batman Arkham Asylum Breakout set featured later in the video.

Obviously, reusing plastic molds is logical, it's a company. They gotta make money, they're gonna cut costs. But its actually kinda genius. In more than half of these sets, I NEVER noticed the frogs being there. They're just frog-shaped enough to be frogs, but vague enough to be anything you want!

Frogs being used as the pistil of the Orchid set blew my mind.

Such a rich great color too

i can imagine John Lego slamming his desk in anger whenever he's unable to include a completely pointless frog in a lego set

Eggs are also used in some interesting ways. Off the top of my head, I can remember that a grey one was used in an Angry Birds set to decorate an engine piece, and in the Succulents set there was a literal handful to use on a cactus.

Lego batman, was one of the major characters in Lego movie and the leader of classic minifigure people on the second movie . Definitely Lego is obsessed about Batman.

5:27 I also spy a tan banana as part of the one-eyed minon's weapon

Cant forget about the Mug pandemic in lego city sets.

My addition to the batman obsession: batman is a character who is designed to have a lot of toys in his dispoal. Various batmobile, batplanes, and other bat-stuff. Other super heroes just dont rely on them often. Even iron man usually has suits.

This video is how I realized that the torches in the Indiana Jones sets were carrots. I legit never noticed before, that was just the "wood club" piece

Lego LOVES putting lego bricks in their sets for some reason

Lego should just make an entire set where all the Minifigures are just frogs.

Lego carrots make me nostalgic. Love the weird little split down the sprout.

There's so many bat-gadgets that really lend themselves to being built in Lego, i think it makes sense that he's in so many sets

About the frogs, hotdogs, bananas and carrots, I don't think lego is obsessed with them. I think they are just good for details.

The frogs are an inside joke, the (or some) designers do make it a sport to include it. The others I agree with you.

For me is the biggest lego obsession in putting golden katanas to ninjago sets

The lego frog is honestly such a fun shape

They also loved using the exact same head that goes under the stuff like the lego stormtroopers for about 10 years

I love the use of frogs in the 2nd Arkham Asylum where the gargoyle heads were frogs

Wow, I thought that Lego using the frogs in the 30th Anniversary Jurassic Park sets, were just nods to the Dinosaurs being cloned using Frog DNA. Using a White Frog for shaving-cream foam is a great idea though.

Gold bars as fancier 1x2 tiles is one of my favorites of this kind

Frogs are amazing, I love those lil dudes.

My friend showed me some Lego set i don’t remember but it was a building of some kind, and it used the Minecraft wolf head mold in the architecture

Here's a Lego obsession: The Trikes. They seem to have in almost EVERY lego cities set and in others

I’ve found that the Lego Batman head is actually pretty useful outside of DC stuff, the white band on he forehead makes a pretty useful bandage or headband.

the blob shape of the frogs does help them fit everywhere tbf lol

I love how polite they look

using sausages as eyebrows for statue of liberty has to be my favourite thing ever

Lesson learnt: Lego likes food and frogs.

Frogs are a type of food 🤔

In 2009 the Fire Brigade 10197 was released, were the frogs were used as holder for the firemans helmets. So the unique use of frogs started way before 2012

Lego really likes Minifig heads they use it in practically every set, sometimes even more!

Does anyone remember about 2-3 years ago when Lego designers had a slight obsession with hiding poop in the sets? Like they would put that little brown ice cream swirl EVERYWHERE. Pretty much every set I got that year had one somewhere, the vintage taxi, the book shop, hell even a plane and countless Lego friends sets had them from what I heard. It was weird af

Lego has an obsession with studs, bricks, 1 by 1s, doors and wheels.

9:20 I think the batman obsession has a lot to do with playability. Superman isn’t really all that exciting as a toy, as all his powers come from within. You could have some fake eye lasers, and breakable objects for him to smash, but the fun doesn’t really go much further. Batman on the other hand, has an immense array of gadgets, vehicles, outfits, weapons, and buildings. I could list off potential sets only Batman could produce, afforded by Bruce’s infinite wealth, but they’re probably already sets.

Good point! Also, Batman might be more relatable. He doesn't have any special power, he's "just" rich and agile - and a kid may aspire to become rich and agile, unlike becoming a hero from other planet.

The Batman thing is also because they made Batman sets before ever making “dc” sets, and the Batman line even got it’s on video game

LEGO GLIZZIES IS CRAZY

Ski poles is also an interesting piece in this regard.

One might say LEGO has an obsession with anything that they can mass produce cheaply and in bulk. It means more LEGO for anyone who collects it, so I certainly don't mind acquiring more of it! 😁👍👍

Those costumes for the Minifigures could be used for a Halloween Party or Comic Con.

Gotta mention that the banana, corn and hotdog outifits have even appeared in some Lego videogames as playable characters.

1:43 the frogs are actually on top of little scorpions for the bigger parts of the eyebrows.

This explains why Batman is a main-ish figure in the Lego movie.

The gray frogs also appear in the Fire Brigade from 2009 as the helmet hooks

I think Batman is their favorite simply because batman is best suited for lego sets due to all of his vehicles and gadgets. Whenever a superhero like spiderman gets a set with a vehicle, it just doesn't make sense, because spiderman never uses a vehicle. Same goes for a lot of other superhero's.
