3 large and VERY illegal LEGO builds

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. : )

Thanks!
@user-eo6wh1ky3o thank you! That is very kind 🙌
You must live off the grid @BrickBending😉
I love the whole ''Observe the cool creation I have made for you .... here's twenty more I made earlier''. XD
Ikr it’s just like “you saw that now do it fifteen more times”
"Double it and connect it
There also the "oops" moments like when he tries to stand them up and it just falls apart
It's like the real life version of copy-pasting
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.
There's a delight in the clean completion of success, but there's also a different kind of joy in the failures. I'm definitely learning to embrace both. 🙂
@@BrickBendingI love both. On one hand, very satisfying. On the other, can't stop laughing as I roll my eyes and sigh 😂
fairly certain this guy is where the missing legos from billions of lego sets owned by children around the world end up
Fancy seeing you here SirPogsalot. :)
@@isaiahkepner8078 greetings fellow Dovi enjoyer
Every time my brain wanted to see something, it happened. This structure was incredibly satisfying.
This is truly a neutron activation moment
I literally cheered when you brought in the other semi circle. I thought "There's no way they'd blue ball us like that right?".
Painful and satisfying at the same time. I’m going to go take a walk outside.
Fair.
My man has been reinventing the wheel every day for years I swear to god.
My favorite thing to do.
Literally reinventing the wheel
@@BrickBendingMakes sense your fave minifig is that caveman
This man playing with Lego is like he's playing with clays, full on creativity.
Lego has no gender.

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!
Thank you for sharing that. That truly makes me happy. 🥰
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
this story is so real i think its paid for by lego... to provide some balance to this story heh
'Illegal' just means it puts potentially destructive stress on the components.
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?
5:18 Ah yes, my favourite Lego build: the Google Colab logo
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.
If ever I'm having too much trouble putting my lego creation together I just perform ancient rituals so ~magic happens~
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.
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?
Good to have you back! I was worried you might have been locked up in Lego prison for all these illegal Lego builds 😁
The comedy hidden within this is sublime
It hurts my brain to think about the absurd amout of time these must take
Just put brick on brick
No social Life !
@@johnmudd6453stupid comment of the week award
@@johnmudd6453 In this world that's not a negative.
*this dude:* "I need _every_ 12x1 plate you have. In yellow."
*the Lego employee, knowing he's an unstoppable lunatic:*
This probably my favourite brick ever. It reminds me of childhood. Thank you for building with it.
Having this many 1x12 plates made me ridiculously happy. 🥰
As a Lego builder this is giving me extreme anxiety but I’m also amazed
This guy's bricklink orders must seem very strange to the supplier receiving them
"you want how many pieces of yellow?"
5:37 live footage of the caveman's attempted vehicular manslaughter
Not even infinity lasts forever.
Absolutely worth sharing! Seeing the struggle even makes I appreciate your work even more!!! It's fantastic!!!
The mad lad is back
< magic happens >
Me: wait, magic is illegal
< looks at title of video >
Me: Oooooooooh, I see
This man sure loves creating wheels
Truth
I suddenly got hungry for some mac n cheese
you can hear the legos crying for help
You mean cheering for happiness
He keeps the legos’ so clean! and the use of gloves is like top tier. The building surface is crisp white.😂 like what more could i want! 👍🏽👍🏽
Fair warning, if you do this in front of anyone who works at LEGO, they are contractually obligated to assault you.
Hey kids! You wanna hear legos screaming in pain?
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 felt like you were reading my mind as i watched
Bro: *does things with LEGO that our minds can't comprehend*
The FBI: "HE'S TOO DANGEROUS TO BE KEPT ALIVE!!!"
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 :)
If lego bricks weren't meant to bend, then why do they bend so nicely?
Please release videos more often! 😢❤
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
if his piece count in the description is correct...... 1x12 plates in GBP is 0.20 each.... so GBP 103.80 per wheel.
It is not cheap. But revenue from these videos pays for the bricks, which has really unlocked so many possibilities.
@@BrickBending Do you get a discount or subsidy when you buy a kilogram of the same piece?
@GregorShapiro No. In fact, Lego is trying to shut him down for making illegal builds and there is a warrant for his arrest in Denmark.
@@definitelynotanAIchatbotwhy is this illegal?
This channel is like the opposite of asmr...I love it
This would looks amazing as a color wheel, using an entire spectrum of brick colors
it's craft macoroni and cheese
until another comes in
Hi! Brick Bending. I'm DDadan, a Korean Lego youtuber. The way you build with Lego is really amazing and interesting. Would it be okay if I made a video introducing your Lego build to Korean Lego fans? Of course, I'll leave the source!
the circles just feel like big cookies
Dude broke the laws of physics💀💀
the creaking sounds of the legos is so stressful. for the legos especially because of all the stress being put on them
4:18 these rings are perfect for a Lego themed wedding ❤❤❤😂🎉😊
the rocking/rolling sounds are some of the most satisfying sounds I've ever heard on UA-cam.
You can hear the levels of frustration with combining the 2 wheels
"illegal lego build"
my brain: ah yes, circle
My heart says yes, but my brain says no.
This guy graduated in physics for all the wrong reasons.
You can literally feel his annoyance whenever it falls apart.
They might be used to it, but I certainly feel that way while watching. Maybe not annoyance, but it's definitely a 'Noo...' moment :)
This is like those elements way down the periodic table, that have to be made in labs and exist for like .0000001 second, because they just do not want to be.
So satisfying and hilarious
I expected him to bend the long brick on top of the other brick but what he did instead was way worse...
Thanks to this video I now don't have to find the giant rings in Sonic 3 & Knuckles or Mania, I can just build them on my own!
Would be a really cool CD holder if the gaps are big enough
I love how its held together by hopes and dreams
He reinvented the Wheel
this is very unsatisfying to watch. the whole fragility of this thing
This could've used a touch of "In the hall of the mountain king" for the increasing insanity
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!”
You must be independently wealthy, there’s gotta be a fortune in legos
Mans made a continuously free hamster wheel.
Instructions unclear got arrested for robbing a bank with a Lego gun
Cool!
Could the “legs” be spread even wider to create a convex wheel?
The ASMR of your frustrated breathing was golden!
This is the kind of ASMR that’s actually calming
Super trippy build
It's so illegal not even the build wanted to hold itself together
Space squid with a french accent: "But my lord... is that... legal?"
Brick Bending: "i will make it legal!"
The Danish LEGO police will come and kick your behind for this illegal build.
As soon as they've managed to make wooden clogs out of bricks.
I feel like.. someone needs to define the word illegal for this creator...
Told him not to reinvent the wheel. Didn't listen.
this thing to the lego man:
"be not afraid"
Every video makes me think of Star Trek's replicators.
I like your white gloves and white shirt. A little bit of mystique going there.
I know the cave man is in basically all of your videos, but what is the meaning behind him?
Mans inhumanity to man.
Apologies, but he doesn't want me to say.
Brick Bending? Uh yeah they sure are.
Bro is single handedly building monstrosities, the backrooms of lego
You are one of the most impressive and creative brick-moc on the world! Love it 😍🤘🤙👍
Cracking build but I fail to see how that is illegal in anyway unless it's some sort unwritten rule in the world of Lego
I guess this guy has bent all the possible ways lego could bend
3:17 the other circle was like woah what happened to that guy
All these squares make a circle... All these squares make a circle... All these squares make a circle...
I've just come across a question that will probably keep me up all night. Can you calculate the number of elements per circle? In principle, you can measure an element quite accurately. If you think about it further, you could then calculate exactly the circumference and the number of parts necessary to complete a full circle for "Lego" circles that are based on plates, and establish a formula.
Problems the world doesn't need -> part n+1.😋
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!!🤩🎶
The question is: was it a LEGO Infinity or Infinity LEGO? ♾️
All these squares make a circle...all these squares make a circle...all ..
It hurts but I cant stop watching ;_;
How triangles make a Circle
All these lines make a circle.
why does the Lego in no.1 sound so... crispy?
This is the only time that it's OK to super glue Legos together.
That's the only think more painful to hear than the creaking :)
Most satisfying videos on UA-cam
Watching this made me feel like I just solved a math problem, my brain hurts now. Lol.
That’s like 50 million dollars worth of legos you’re just violating
