Man, what an absolute joy this was. Proper trip down memory lane. CABG was such a big deal for me back in the late 2000s, spent so much time there. So much creativity happened there, it was so inspiring. I hope everyone’s well. Genuinely moved by the shoutout. So happy to see Squad 42 is remembered fondly. Thank you. Even if you were ragging on my videos ahahahaha. Can tell you that Brad (pizzamovies) is alive and well and flew to England for my wedding last year!!
So glad you ended up seeing this video, thanks again for all the memories. It's great to hear that you and pizzamovies are still friends after all these years, give him my regards!
Great to hear you're still out there, your stuff was so awesome when I was a kid, and is still fun today. If you ever decide to create more videos, I'd for sure be there to watch them.
After spending most of my life spending all of my (and my parents) money on Lego, I finally got clean a couple years ago. Thanks for making me relapse, oboe
I would say something like “omg I regret sharpie-ing all my clone wars clones” but me and my friend had fun as 8 year olds thinking our custom clones were badass
That title gave me ptsd, I used to take sharpies to my clones and make them into special troops. Unfortunately I did it to ALL of my clones and ended up with no regular ones by the end.
Was going thru my old collection tryna sort out minfigs n non legos n found so many helmets colored, cut, and glued n found maybe 3 or 4 untainted ones (young me was smart enough to ruin almost exclusively the clone war show era helmets n nun of the og molds)
if you ever want to rehabilitate any of your “custom” clones, buy an Expo marker and color all over the the sharpie and then wipe it off with a tissue. I had some “custom” P1 plain clones that I had completely covered in sharpie bullshit and I was able to get them back to looking basically brand new. Blew my mind.
Was never into clones, but was big into what SaberScorpion was doing with Halo. I remember making my own horribly pixelated decals on MSPaint for The Arbiter! And Spawn, for some reason.
jesus christ man you just unlocked a deep seated core memory with those plinkett rifftracks over the stop motion, I dont think ive even ever actually seen the original videos just the commentary ones
Great video, I also remember thoes old videos and followed solidbrix before his name change. Been inside clone army customs too, very cool place. Moved to Grand Rapids 5 years ago never knew it was such a nexus for Lego
I have always had a passion to make some sort stop motion or film thing because of Early Lego videos the light saber fights went hard bro lol my dad introduced me to the early brink link and I'm happy some one else actually remembers that
Yeah it's absolutely irritating to hear the whining about the official Lego Minifig designs. The only time I agree with them is that I shouldn't have to buy a $500 Lego set to get some special Minifig. Really Lego should just put more basic designed minifigs in the sets and then just sell the high quality ones separately or do a collectible Minifigures series with them.
It's funny how a whole generation of kids ended up customising their clones mainly due to the 2009 Clone Walker Battle Pack. I remember getting specialist even with waterslide decal paper and varnish back then along with those Arealight helmets which were so satisfying when they arrived in the post! :D
I know he wasn't as early as some others, but The Noble Artist will always be the GOAT of clone customs in my eyes. I actually got the chance to meet him in person at one point (through honestly kinda stalker behavior on 12 year old me's part) and he was so nice and giving.
I literally still have some of my figures that I drew on. I get my key figures from Clone army customs now with my adult money lolol but having the same sharpied figures just makes me happy
I’m happy to see someone talk about this. Finger nail clippers, sharpie, rubbing alcohol, some old clothes and you could make so many cool clones. I ruined so many plain clones with my clippers and sharpies…and old clothes with small holes made in them to make custom cloth pieces. Also, man the CABG admins loved banning me for not posting properly 💀
I lost so many of my childhood clones to sharpie, but those sharpie customs are what got me into the custom painting figures. Now I do custom Vintage Collection 3.75" clones, except I use proper model paints instead of sharpie.
Holy shit the nostalgia of this video. I spent many many hours on Saber Scorpion forums, as well as Bricklink and MOCpages. I also used those decals and customised the shit out of my clones. Still have them too, absolutely top notch. I couldn't afford little arms shop though
You nail it with this. That whole era was really special, it was the first youtube experience for many of us. Back in 2017 i did a backup of all those youtube videos when i realized how important they were. Still miss a couple( Fireguy789, Brickunit and Justsuper9 ''How the clones saved Christmas'') plus anything from the old 2003 Lego star wars website. But overall i still got 90%of them so i'm happy that the memory is preserved.
This channel takes me back man. Could you do a video on Drome Racers? That was such a cool theme, with high tech cars, recognisable characters and a bunch of games.
This video is like a trip back to a golden age. I was never on CBG Forum, but was active in the Lego SW UA-cam community at the time. You can still see Little Arms Shop blasters in my Brickfilms, I even recently went through the trouble of ordering replacements from a reseller. Overall incredible video.
Now this brings back memories. I won’t and say that I did indeed use sharpie to draw on some of my generic clone troopers to make them unique. I still kept a few of them today and I still treasure them as some of my favourite clones I own. So it’s was nice that you were going back down memory lane and honour the early days of custom clone troopers creation. Good job and I can’t wait to see what you do next.
Babe wake up Oboshoesbricks uploaded 🗣🗣🗣 Pizzamovies is the goat! ironically growing up in in the Clone Wars era I never really cared for customs. I tried with 3 sharpie clones and gave up and just played with the normal ones.... until fatefully moving to Batman LEGO in 2012
Man, this made me super nostalgic for all the years me and a childhood friend spent on a site called Droidz back in the early 2000s that was dedicated to a stick-figure animation program called Pivot. I still remember all the friends we met there and all of their usernames, as well as their signature figures and animation styles.
SaberScorpion jeez thats a name I havent heard in forever. this really took me back to being a kid, i loved keeping up with the custom clone community as well as making my own troopers when i was little. amazing video!
I found some of the youtube videos me and a friend made in around 2010 as 12yo kids. Some of the custom clones I made were awful but I'll cherish the memories forever
I spent an hour today scrubbing the sharpie off my older clones.. this video gave me a laugh. RIP to my Arc trooper, apparently I wanted the helmet and belt to be red..
Wow. This video really unlocked some deep memories and feelings for me. All the UA-camrs you described had videos that I watched on repeat. One other channel that I watched back in '08 and '09 was The374thGroup. His progress videos on his ARC Gunship and CR20 perfectly encapsulate some of the LEGO clone culture of the era.
Not a custom clone memory but a custom droid memory: My brother and I once used a lighter to weld a B1 head into the torso of a B2 superbattledroid, essentially making a B2 that actually had a neck. This was a regular beige B1 head mind you (with plenty of burn marks because of the production process) so it didnt look great. A few months back I relocated all of the lego from my parents and came across this guy again. I decided to give him some much needed love with some model paints. After many more than a decade in development, the final product is pretty fun.
I remember flattening the old clonetrooper helmet with a nail file and put on some red color on front of the helmet so i get a sev minifig. Best looking lego trooper.
This is very nostalgic. I distinctly remember making a video as a kid trying to sell my crappy sharpy custom clones and being in awe of Michaelmgf’s work
what a throwback to an incredibly nostalgic era of lego youtube for me. i remember printing on the labels being a hassle but i always used to put sellotape over the top to give it a gloss finish like lego’s 😂 never knew about TLAS drama, i still have a tonne of those today! great video man!!
Bro I used to watch so much lego star wars youtube back in the day. Me and my best friend at the time made our own stop motion but never uploaded it anywhere. I came across it on a burned DVD when going through some old stuff. I remember MichealMGF was the first youtube channel I subscribed to, customs were such a different animal back then
I think this sort of stuff is where I got my start with wanting to make all my stuff super custom. Now I make minis for wargames from scratch, I guess when I compare my efforts now to back then I really have improved.
This was a really cool vid. I remember watching squad 42 and the other early stop motion videos and then scrolling through clone army customs just wishing I had money to buy anything. Seeing these early UA-cam and Lego cultures treated in an archival way as well as going into detail about your own sharpied up clones was honestly kinda moving :/ sometimes things seem simpler and more fun when you’re a kid.
SABER MENTIONED Dude I remember finding his Halo builds and POURING over the pictures so I could copy his builds. I built 3 elites, a banshee, and a warthog thanks to him. Absolutely goated.
That Saber Scorpion callout gave me flashbacks. I still remember being a part of his forums for a good while until it went the way of all internet communities (internal bullshit, then an exodus to Discord)
God I miss the late 2000s internet, I started off on youtube making brickfilms in 2008. I actually got a decent following but youtube inexplicably deleted my channel in 2018 (including a video I made with 800,000 views :( )
While I never saw the others, 5 year old me watched pizzamovies 501st CONSTANTLY, I was so young that I couldn’t understand how stop motion worked, nor that it was the same MTT getting blown up in different battles (I assumed he had multiple) While I was never on those forums, I do remember being awed by people’s custom clones on UA-cam, and trying to make my own by just adding small bits of a light green marker onto one of the battle pack clones, it’s still visible on some of those pieces all these years later Real nice little trip down memory lane here
I used to be into trying to customize my lego clone troopers like this too and now I'm super into modeling and painting warhammer 40k..... I guess some things never change
Man, what a great video. Many of my 2007-2010 clones also got the sharpie and printed decal treatment too. I need to dig them all out to have a laugh and cringe a little! Loved the video, and the Alpha team one too. I subbed from my other account 2 weeks ago and figured I better leave a comment off my toy account instead of some random account with no videos. I love this style of video and I'm looking forward to more!
Damn this is crazy! I bought a house recently and moved all my old Lego from my parents house. Found MANY sharpied clones and my own custom CABG troopers! This video definitely brought me some great nostalgia! Thank you all for the fun times and great memories, had to unlock them a bit but this made me happy! -SithAssassin
I was like 10 when this was popular, so I wasn't allowed to use power tools. 8:40 but, I did find a metal measuring tool my dad had in his tool box that he basically never used, and I used it to sand down the fins on my clone troopers, BY HAND. Needless to say, I only made a few custom commando troopers. 😂😂😂 Man those were the days.
Man this brings me back. I used to use sharpie on Lego Clones and also hot glue pieces of metal to them because of inspiration by The Noble Artist. I also always made leg skirts from paper and tape, same for pauldrons
My brother and I tried making some custom clones. We used sharpies, but since we played with them the ink would rub off easily so then we put more on, then used rubbing alcohol and then the inks blended and gave it a unique battle damaged look.
I've never understood the infatuation with clones over stormtroopers, so that segment where you utterly ruined the cool old stormtrooper armor scars me
man I never was into any of this myself as a kid because we didn't even have wifi when these sites were around but you just gave a name for the weapons (little armory toys) That have been sitting in my collection for 1 and a half decades after getting them from a flea market
Good old times, makes me miss my old figures, thank you for the memories. I feel like Lego SW lost a lot of its charm in the mid 2010s, maybe even earlier. Today I'm all for the original themes but still suffer from the clone brain disease because I started collecting again a few years ago. May Mata Nui protect me. PS: That bloody helmet would actually be perfect for the new Commander Fox.
I still have my OG Clones, but I've freed most from the sharpies. Love how you still have your boys. I genuinely laughed seeing your "Sev", seems a trend as I remember having made my own "Sev" in the past as well. I still wish I would've whined to my parents to get me one of those early CAC Clones, they're just perfect little nostalgia figures. I never knew of the CABG, but your nostalgia of it reminds me all too much of my own rosy memories of SWRP. I'll never forget my time on ASG and PG, nor ner'vode like Pepsi and Jamaica. I still have the custom clones I made on MS paint XD PSA: Erasable markers erase the sharpies, multiple attempts to get rid of ye olde sharpie troopers. Just cover the sharpie with the markers and wipe away with a tissue. I like using Expo markers, only because they can disappear from work without anyone asking.
Man, what an absolute joy this was. Proper trip down memory lane. CABG was such a big deal for me back in the late 2000s, spent so much time there. So much creativity happened there, it was so inspiring. I hope everyone’s well.

After spending most of my life spending all of my (and my parents) money on Lego, I finally got clean a couple years ago. Thanks for making me relapse, oboe
i stopped smoking weed just to save up enough money to buy more sets. i didn't quit weed, i just replaced it with a far more expensive addiction.
You are not funny for making addiction references, it's triggering to some
What do u mean clean
He stopped obsessively buying lego sets?

Your video unlocked a core memory with saberscorpion. I completely forgot about them.
That title gave me ptsd, I used to take sharpies to my clones and make them into special troops. Unfortunately I did it to ALL of my clones and ended up with no regular ones by the end.
I'm still glad I sharpied the good ones, RIP the snow troopers getting actual paint on them. Cool asf, but they're more swamptroopers than anything XD
"if everyone is a special trooper, then no one is"
Haha I recently was removing sharpie markings from some old clones to sell them and I realized how many nice pieces I sharpied
Was going thru my old collection tryna sort out minfigs n non legos n found so many helmets colored, cut, and glued n found maybe 3 or 4 untainted ones (young me was smart enough to ruin almost exclusively the clone war show era helmets n nun of the og molds)

Man, dude, I spent HOURS on SaberScorpion’s website when I was a kid. His Halo Reach stuff was fantastic.
Core memory

Holy crap I remember ordering Halo stickers from there
jesus christ man you just unlocked a deep seated core memory with those plinkett rifftracks over the stop motion, I dont think ive even ever actually seen the original videos just the commentary ones

Nowadays Lego Star Wars man-children just complain about getting random clone commander #53 instead of customizing their own
Yeah it's absolutely irritating to hear the whining about the official Lego Minifig designs.

This is some Warhammer levels of effort and it makes me wish there was a fleshed out game to have these guys fight in
I remember a few videos being made on a Clone Wars MMO, but I never had any experience on it. Garry's Mod however, now there's a gem.
You could probably play starwars legion with lego figs
Lots of good tabletop wargames out there! Could probably just reskin something from One Page Rules.
I know he wasn't as early as some others, but The Noble Artist will always be the GOAT of clone customs in my eyes. I actually got the chance to meet him in person at one point (through honestly kinda stalker behavior on 12 year old me's part) and he was so nice and giving.
This is such a deep cut... the algorithm was spot on here.
Dude that was such a cool dive into a nice culture I had no idea existed. I hope you're able to do more of this kind of stuff!
Seeing CABG literally gave me goosebumps brought me back instantly
I literally still have some of my figures that I drew on. I get my key figures from Clone army customs now with my adult money lolol but having the same sharpied figures just makes me happy

The CABG sounds like a government-sponsored secret police force
from the sharpies to sabre scorpion, this video brought so much back!!!
I loved the battle packs.
I'm glad I only ever painted 2 of my figures.
One to make my own char in the army and one for a commander I wanted.

I really like this type of content from you
While I never saw the others, 5 year old me watched pizzamovies 501st CONSTANTLY, I was so young that I couldn’t understand how stop motion worked, nor that it was the same MTT getting blown up in different battles (I assumed he had multiple)
While I was never on those forums, I do remember being awed by people’s custom clones on UA-cam, and trying to make my own by just adding small bits of a light green marker onto one of the battle pack clones, it’s still visible on some of those pieces all these years later
Real nice little trip down memory lane here
11:21 NHAAAA the scene of the barc speeders pilling up will not ever not be ingrained in my memory's from my child hood and early youtube
For real. It is what pops into my mind whenever I think of Lego stop-motion
12:48 not the jif 😭
Thanks for making this, so much nostalgia.
This is the perfect video for me to see right when I’m just getting back into custom clones for the first time since 2010. XDDD
Holy shit never thought I'd see a saber scorpion shout-out. Dude was the goat.
More Lego content please oboe I’ve been coming back and checking this channel routinely
I remember making custom BX-series Droid Commandos using the B-1 battle droids, that was what got me into customs.
I used to be into trying to customize my lego clone troopers like this too and now I'm super into modeling and painting warhammer 40k..... I guess some things never change

Good old times, makes me miss my old figures, thank you for the memories. I feel like Lego SW lost a lot of its charm in the mid 2010s, maybe even earlier. Today I'm all for the original themes but still suffer from the clone brain disease because I started collecting again a few years ago. May Mata Nui protect me.
PS: That bloody helmet would actually be perfect for the new Commander Fox.
I still have my OG Clones, but I've freed most from the sharpies. Love how you still have your boys. I genuinely laughed seeing your "Sev", seems a trend as I remember having made my own "Sev" in the past as well. I still wish I would've whined to my parents to get me one of those early CAC Clones, they're just perfect little nostalgia figures. I never knew of the CABG, but your nostalgia of it reminds me all too much of my own rosy memories of SWRP. I'll never forget my time on ASG and PG, nor ner'vode like Pepsi and Jamaica. I still have the custom clones I made on MS paint XD
PSA: Erasable markers erase the sharpies, multiple attempts to get rid of ye olde sharpie troopers. Just cover the sharpie with the markers and wipe away with a tissue. I like using Expo markers, only because they can disappear from work without anyone asking.
