Farewell, but not goodbye forever, to YouTube.
In this video I say my farewell to UA-cam. Announcing that I will no longer be publishing videos to this channel on a regular basis. I explain why I'm making this change and that I plan to shift to use the spare time I'd normally spend working on videos to instead work on Lego MOC and mod designs.
Despite this announcement this channel will remain live and I may publish future videos to the channel if I have new Lego MOC designs to showcase! So although I am saying 'farewell' to being a Lego UA-camr, I'm not saying goodbye for ever.

    I'm not that hard lego fan but a small research on YT for the 375 Castle set brought me to your channel, which I really appreciate, having watched at least 25 or even more videos so far. It's a shame you're saying farewell but as a creator I perfectly understand and agree with your reasons. Especially because YT doesnt care of creators leaving because their work is not recognized since clickbait-like, pumped-by and, of course, sponsorized videos grab every visualization, sub and, eventually, "fame". Hope Time will be a gentleman to you. In the meantime, I would explore other platforms: sometimes it works. Cheers and have a great 2025, Daniele

    Came here to figure out the best way to purchase bricklink sets. To buy the set outright, or purchase individual parts of the set. And how to go about buying those individual parts. Any suggestions help.

    • @CraftedBricks
      @CraftedBricks Місяць тому

      Do you mean buying the BrickLink designer sets or regular Lego sets? Either way search for the set you want on BrickLink by its set number. Click on the search result for the set to go to the set's Catalogue page. You'll see on the Items for Sale tab prices for people selling the set as a whole. To figure out the cost of buying the parts instead it's a bit more complicated. From that same page click on the 'Part Out' link under My Wanted List. You'll need to go through the steps to add the parts to a Wanted list. Then try the 'Buy all' option from the Wanted list itself to get an idea of costs. It's unlikely that a single seller will be able to sell all the parts from a Wanted list but you'll get an idea for cost anyhow. I'm going through something similar for an old retired set I'm after where the current pricing is very high, so it's going to be better to buy parts to make the set.

    @CraftedBricks , thanks for this vid.. I finally just decided to build this set during the holiday!! Quick question for you!! Does the MOD only impact the front suspension to compress it in fixed state? in After state looks like the rear suspension is lower as well but in the instructions, looks like only front suspension is modded. Any clarification you can provide? Thanks much!! Thanks for these 2 vids you made.. looks awesome!!

    • @CraftedBricks
      @CraftedBricks Місяць тому

      No problem at all and I'm glad you not only liked the videos but that you've decided to build and lower this set. It's looks really good in its lowered stance. The instructions (not by me) cover compressing the springs on both the front and rear axle. May be as you haven't built the model yet the instructions from the modder who published this seemed unfamiliar. It'll make sense when you get to the build. All the best!

In the PDF you downloaded from his site. Page 2 shows the parts to compress the axles for the rear of the model. Pages 3, 4 and 5 show the mod to compress the front axles. Remember to look also at my comments in the Description of the update video regarding parts required and doubling up on the front axle supports.

    In my view, the reason I'd never get into this is volatility. You can't be sure the value of the product you've bought will retain it's value over the several years necessary for it to potentially increase in value. The whole point of investment is assets gaining value. Given the unpredictable nature of the market you can never be sure it will work in a favourable outcome. Its also very time consuming its the reason i never did stocks..

    • @CraftedBricks
      @CraftedBricks 2 місяці тому

      I fully agree with your overall sentiment here! ...I think you may mean investment uncertainty versus volatility though. As in it is hard to be certain on which Lego sets will do well as investment over time. It's not that the pricing of sets after they have retired goes up and down rapidly i.e. that prices are volatile. You are right on the time consuming aspect, it can consume more time than expected especially when trying to arrange sales with prospective buyers. All the best and thanks for sharing.

I hear you on those 1x3 yellow arches, I wish they were affordable on BrickLink. Sometimes when sourcing rare parts it is worth having a look at Webrick, although not official Lego parts, if you need a high quantity of an expensive part can be a good alt option for a build.

    Best lego content on youtube. My shelves are filled with sets with your MODs or MOCs I’d not otherwise have discovered. A hiatus is healthy… But, perhaps selfishly, I hope you have a youtube resurgence in the future.

      Thank you for your kind comment Daniel. And, via my videos, I'm glad to have inspired and encouraged you to build MOCs and modify your Lego sets. Have a great weekend!

      Thank you, and all the best and good luck to you also! I hope to have some new things to show in the New Year once I've got this house renovation all done.

    I collect these sets despite the playability not being that high. I just like the rarity of them. So I happen to have 3 or 4 of these, 3 space shuttles, 3 of the alien spaceships with fibre optics and about 10 of the extreme creatures sets. I also have about 20 of the hubs as spares and a collection of about 400 cables, 50 micromotors and hundreds of other motors. The cables from 1994 and back have better wires that don't shed their insulation.

      It sounds like you've quite the collection of vintage Technic sets! I still have several new in box vintage Technic sets like the 8880 and 80479 to build some day. + a second hand but in good condition Control Center II to restore : )

    Ooooph what a blow! Thank you for the ignition of a passion for anew aspect of Lego. MOCs and Mods weren't ever a consideration for me until I saw your videos. Really keen to hear about new mocs and mods you design and very much want to support your work as best i can! Thanks again for being such an awesome part of the community and my hobby 🥰

    Hi Simon. I just found your channel - looks like you put in a lot of effort! I always feel bad for high quality productions that don't seem to get many views. I know what it feels like. I actually put up some very amateur videos a bit over a decade ago, some of which have gotten over 100k views - even though they are just one take home videos of modified technic sets with no explanation. I've thought about getting more involved now, after turning my channel into a successful train driver view channel, but it seems like the lego technic theme is already widely presented on UA-cam by people that do much more professional videos than I would. You did a really great job here though! I definitely share your passion for the 80's and 90's technic sets - that was the golden age! They seem to be a lot more common over in Europe than they were in Australia... and as a result I have a huge collection now 😅 Taking a break is always good when the passion is a bit low. Wishing you all the best on your future endeavours! Greetings from an Aussie train driver in Switzerland :)

      Thanks for checking in and sharing. I had a look at a few of your videos, I'm impressed at the number of views you get for the train journey videos. Nice!

    Thank you for all the content you have created. It’s exactly the type of unique perspective I had been looking for but I understand that it is not what yields success with the UA-cam algorithm and general public. I hope you continue to find enjoying this hobby wherever that it!

    • @CraftedBricks

      You are welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed my content! I'll come back to Lego I'm sure of it and have the odd video to make and publish from time to time. Have a superb week ahead!

    I fully understand, you did already a lot, so generous to share (huge value in your videos). It is great to take these kinds of decisions. I wish you many success in your next Lego projects : pleasure first, showcase in two, maybe videos in three. You inspired me a lot to push myself to start making MODs and even try MOCs as well! Frankly I start many things but never go until the end (still hard fun / work to accomplish 😁) + I hope to cross you in real life on day. Still a lot to travel from France to Australia, but not impossible 😊

      Thank you so much Wizard of Bricks for always being so positive and for commenting regularly! Your positive comments on many of my videos always brought a smile to my face. All the best to you for finishing projects! I have a huge list of unbuilt Lego projects too! And you never know our paths may cross in the future.

      Thank you so much Zealot777 for not only this comment but your sustained support and positive comments over the years. You were always one of the first to comment positively on each new video as I published them after hours and hours of work. ...and that is much appreciated mate, thank you! : )
