The Ferrari one is definitely reasonable. And the inclusion of a small container of pins for 80036 is clever.

Replace the 36 with 85

But then he couldnt do the clickbaity 0 Q LEGO INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!1111!!
The succulents set has a similar thing. One if the individual plants just lifts off to reveal a compartment to store the red axel pieces that you can use to hold the individule pots together.
Also probably for the printed piece in the ferrari, it's cheaper to not put an extra line of bricks into the box than to print on all of them.
Also Lego always includes one extra for 1x1 pieces. So choosing a blank plate here would mean adding another blank one as extra.
💯
Yeah. There's always one extra, so by only having the printed ones, they dont have to produce another extra. And it's not like you're gonna see that it ahs the print when you're done. It is fully covered up
3:08
I know Lego is well known for sometimes overpricing their products, but I don't think including an overpriced set of earbuds even counts as a mistake.
Now that’s funny

4:02 I think we have very different ideas of balanced sound… they sound like someone made a speaker setup with 17 subwoofers.
@@MDG509_ Saw a honest review on those things and the low range on these things is 10dB louder than the mid and high range.
Atleast they ain't as overpriced as airpods/every apple product
After rebuilding LEGO from the 80s and 90s, I noticed how the new set instructions are insanely easy and long with sometimes 2 or so brics to set. While in the 80s you got 10 or so bricks and had to have an engineerkng degree or be Sherlock to fit them, failing and only realising it a few steps later. But it was such a gratifying process and it didnt take 100 to 500 pages to do.
In that case you should be delighted by the trench run set instructions, barely any markings and often 5-10 pieces per step. Really enjoyed that one
building the hogwarts castle sometimes feels like a page of where's waldo
tho honestly, the pages i've seen so far have almost always been completely reasonable with the amount of stuff it tells you to put on at a time, i just wish all of them had the outlines for the bricks
Fright knights from the mid 90s was basically a spot the difference puzzle. Just two pictures and a list of 10ish parts. Where as technic from that time already had the outlines and arrows for new parts
You should try building the ucs imperial star destroyer
The Typewriter is that way because you don’t put it all together right away but you need it to be built already when you get to different set. It will make sense if you ever build it, which I recommend, great build.
I finished that build last week. It's such a clean looking set.
@@Drion086 it doesn't have ink or anything, but the keys can be pressed and they trigger movement on a few gears that slides the cylinder.
I had such a good time building that, but for me the real fun started when most of the inner mechanism was done and I could figure out how everything moved together to make the thing work. It was great because of how clever it was, and the fact I did everything correctly (and I did make a few errors along the way, which I had to fix). 😆 And to anyone who ever used a manual typewriter, buy this and build it; you'll be glad you did.
If I'm not mistaken it is actually that way to increase sturdyness once the mechanism is complete. If it is the wrong way around the chance to accidentally jump over a 'symbol' and and activate the mechanism twice or more with a single key press is significantly higher. It's because one side of the "gear" (or shredder or whatever you may call it) has a more smoothly rounded side, while the other side ensures that the mechanism gets stuck enough.
It's not that hard people: they chose that single element because of its shape, it can "catch" other elements.
The pile is also a nice and easy to understand visual cue to set them aside for later.
1:14 for those of you who don’t know, that is from the Star Wars Poe Dameron’s X-Wing.
5:18 Lego Technic Campfire. My favourite lego set of all time! 😂
I hope someone take the instructions to litelarry and make a campfire of it.
I cant stop laughing 😂😂😂😂
5:44 I'm pretty sure those "campfires" are so the person reading the instructions knows to make multiple builds, rather than overlooking the "9x", which is incredibly easy to miss.
Regarding the typewriter:
I suppose the reason they ask you to bunch them up is to clarify you don't have to actually lay them out properly. Once you start building the mechanism, you're gonna have to drop those pieces one by one into axles. If they had shown them laying in order, I would assume a good percentage of people would painstakingly do so thinking they're gonna be joined like that or whatever. Plus, they're quite unstable on their own.
And as for the clickbaity thumbnail, that spinny boi is the most essential part of the mechanism. It's what allows the whole thing to work as a typewriter. And it's very, very easy to put it in the wrong way without noticing, which would break the functionality.
Luckily someone who actually understands logic and why Lego would emphasize on a very important part of the mechanism.
For people who still don't understand:
Every time you press one of the keys on the typewriter an entire part of the typewriter (visually, and actually also very realistically) jumps back a little bit, so it can move over one piece. If you place on the element wrongly the chance that you jump over more than a single key is very high, because of the smooth side, while the other side kind of has a 'tooth' to catch the big part again.
If you still don't understand I recommend you go and watch someone building the Lego typewriter. I think it is not a 0 IQ step, I think it is one of the most clever building step put in a Lego set.
😂😂😂Jumbled mess!! 4:45
3:05 Best transition to a sponsor ever :)
Agreed.
Ngl this genuinely made me laugh a bit
@@EnjoyerOfCastle yea me too
Better than Grunty Boi?
That first one was just golden 🤣
Lol agreed
Probably the guy who made that step just wanted you to take a second to appreciate the build>
@@tfolbrix2879 poor Lego instruction maker going through some rough times…
I get the piling one, it's so the instructions are more specific on "group these parts together so you don't get them mixed up". Lots of more "lego" styled way of instructions could be argued here, but I think piling them up gives a better idea with 3 dimensional shapes than having them all lined up with one angle of the piece (or variants of neatly placed pieces). Having them all in one angle might not be the easiest to discern for everyone and I think this improves accessibility for more people who might have trouble with spotting the difference.
You are the closest person to say something near this day XD
With the typewriter they put them in piles because we don’t use them yet we use them later on. and they dont want use to mix them up
Maybe the steps where you remove parts are included because some of the parts attached in prior steps were just there for temporary structural support and/or to make building it easier?
in a few builds ive done, they use spare parts to make sure steering axels are aligned, which you then remove for the astetic part of the build later on, its just a quick and easy time save on top of making assembly fool proof
When Kai found Raycon earbuds I was so utterly confused until you said it was sponsered.
4:17 when the sponsor ends
Thank you
You deserve the world thanks
Thank you
1 is definitely the best campfire because it has brown in it. Brown in a campfire usually means wood, so it would burn the best. Besides, 4 is just pathetic.
No, number 2 looks to be a better potential campfire, as it is piled in a more correct way: many of the "sticks" are angled upwards, making a "triangle" shape, which helps the fire to flow and rise.
@@isisbarfuss558 A very good point, I should have considered that.
But the fire won’t last long as the brown one.
The piles were probably trying to tell you to keep the parts sorted in their own piles, so later on they are easier to find
Also the 2007 landing shuttle had a step where you remove pieces, my brother got and old used one and that step was weird, but the puces removed were added temporarily for stability’s
*sake
*or just stability
1:14 this mistake is also in the new 400$ loop coaster set instructions, though I don't remember which step exactly, but the steps were swapped too just like that, which is kinda bad for a 400$ set
I remember once getting a set that was supposed to include a 1x1x1 brick with a clip on the side, but there was a special page included inside it that said "wait actually we messed up, substitute that particular piece for a 1x1 plate on a 1x1 plate with a clip on a 1x1 plate" basically. I don't know if it was our specific copy of the set or if it was every single instance of that set.
I got something like that in a lego police car when I was like 9 years old
the technic one with the lego typewriter makes sense to me, I presume in that step you are setting aside the technic pieces to be used later but assembling them ready at that step
I got the LEGO UCS millennia falcon. There are multiple times where you need to build massive structures twice and sometimes you need to build 2 parts for one of the 2 structures meaning you need to build 2 for one so you really need to make 4. You also need to make 6 landing gear at the same time. The set is great but is is annoying to build huge things multiple times at the same time.
Hope the warned you at the beginning at least. Lld LEGO sets tended to have you build something over multiple pages _then_ hit you with a 4x only at the end.
@@scottthewaterwarrior it does warn you.
About the Typewriter instructions, those pieces are meant to be the bits that hold the keys out so you can press them, and they are put in a pile to show that they aren't needed for a while after building them because you then have to stack them on top of each other when putting in the keys.
Clever that they show them heaped chaotically, so you don’t go arranging them carefully thinking that’s part of the build
For the “campfire” one, I actually know why is it like that, because I have the typewriter set. The pile actually doesn’t mean what, it just mean that you have to put it away for some time, and it will come to use later.
You never fail to impress us!
Hey man! I used to watch your videos so much back in the day
@@Velixity. me too
That ad transition was amazing.
I was just finished the new Thor's hammer Lego set when I was watching this, and similar to the three 1x4 plates, stacked together, on step 52 of the Thor's Hammer manual it says to have a 2x3 plate, put two 1x2 tiles on the two ends, put two pin holders in the middle, and put two 1x3 upside down tiles with a hole at the middle to attach to the pin holders, which make the exact same shape as a 2x3 brick. I was thinking that it might be useful later, but the later manual covered it up with several 1x2 brackets, which made the hard work of making this small 2x3 brick useless
Another note on the Ferrari: Some have pointed out that this may have also been a way of getting more of that print into circulation, especially since you could replace that piece with a regular 1x1 red plate and have two extra printed ones.
I was wondering about maybe having a spare in case one gets scratched
As a collector of random printed pieces, I appreciate that move by the designer.
Designer: creates an instruction with a good move to organise lego details
UA-camr: *absolutely roasts his ideas*
7:00 for detail
The same technique as mentioned at the timeline 8:08 was used in the set 70831. In the house model, we have eleven Technic Axle Pin hidden in a rocket that will be used in the second model: The rescue rockett.
I love your videos you’re my favorite Lego UA-camr
Yessir
1:46 I just bought this set yesterday
9:20 they are pointing in different directions so not 0 iq
Yeh, it’s just saying to put the windmill face in the left instead of the right
Yo SpitBrix, I’m planning on making my own Lego channel, most of my inspiration came from you!
Good luck remember me when you become big
top 10 people who asked:
My gosh, the first set, the Lego Star Wars Imperial Shuttle, I had that as a kid. My god man, the memories I just got hit with, damn, those were better days.
In the mandalorian & child brickheadz, some pieces are instructed to be put on the legs, but they never appear actually on the build in the book until randomly they appear on it with no further instruction.
I think the pile is just to make it clear you have to make 9 and should have a lot of them. When I was a kid I definitely missed a few “2x” etc. a few times and had to go back when I realized I was missing it.
The helicarrier one is clever. The yellow pieces are there to hold the frame together until you have more of the sructure there to hold everything together. I Thought of it like the scaffolding on certain construction projects that are later removed
6:28 the best for a campfire is the first one because it has a lot brown and orange
Top right has more tho
@@cheesywaffle6761 no it doesn’t.
@@collinsfamily6819more lego*
The piles are to signify that you will need to use the parts later and that they should be kept together
6:38 - It makes sense. It was supposed to show the texture of the wall.
@5:55 as a CAD/GIS user I bet that's exactly what happened haha. Always trying wacky new display methods or design schemes for no good reason other than it was something new I figured out and I thought it could be cool. I'm sure the clients are just as confused... and me like "yeah I got bored so.. you get chaos "🤷♂
2 would be the best campfire cause it looks like it already has some fire
I think the reason why lego makes this campfires is that lego will symbolise you should make a bunch of Lego pieces that you need later. But it's still unnecessary.
The technic campfires also must have been WAY MORE ANNOYING to model
(Also, #2 would make the best campfire)
In the instructions of the og destiny's bounty where you add some 2by2 round tiles, you have to sticker them, but in the box with the parts, they appear already printed
In the old giant technic plane set there was a step to where you had to put a technic axle in the side of the wing to align the flaps, and then you would have to remove it to put on the rest of the wing

plie of lego techinc things
spitbrix:
lego technic campfire
1:32 thats fron the recent X-wing
Either 1 or 3 would be the best fire, they both have a decent enough structure while still allowing adequite airflow.
The first pile is def the best campfire
It's funny how the most replayed part of the video is at the end of your sponsor
The typewriter instruction makes sense since you don’t want to mix up the lengths with each other but you also need them one beam at a time. The alternative would be 26 extra sub assembly duplicated steps between the rest of the front third of the kit.
Wich set had the campfires?It looks like a good set for parts.
Typewriter
Hey spitbrix! Are you gonna make a video where you give your thoughts about the new Ninjago sets for crystallized?
The piles are based of the instructions for that actual typewriter
I have a hunch what happened with that first one. When the kit was being build/playtested, they swapped something out, changed the order of pieces going down, or merged a couple of steps into one action. But that happen right as the set was about to go to production (and goodness knows anything licensed can be on a pretty inflexible deadline) so with half an hour before the manual went to print the only thing to do without breaking the layout and page order was to turn the step into a no-op and just leave the templates in.
as someone who grew up with mega blocks and not lego, removing blocks is extremely common
Watch somebody literally recreate those _exact_ piles of assemblies...
I love my lego technic campfires set it even comes with a free typewriter
I didn't even think of the Stranger Things one until just now but hearing the response from the actual creator, it does make some sense, especially as I've seen that kind of build technique in other sets where you put 2 or 3 1x4 plates on top of each other.
And sometimes they are done this way so that you have more verity if you break down the set to make your own builds. Same reason some hidden parts are done in off colors.
I was wondering if it was to allow flexibility for an alternate build for the set - I’m not sure how many sets have different configurations in the instructions, but I know that it happens sometimes.
The part after the ad has a most replayed tag on it because of the amount of people who've skipped to it lmao
You missed one, in a lego speed champion's set, specifically the fast and furious one, on page 106/107 it tells you to take 2 pieces off and put them back on with no extra modification. That one confused me
Mega construx has you removed bricks off sets as well. They are used as temporary stabilizers to make the build more stable before its done
Now I like to imagine that some poor overworked dude in some basement just writing the instructions
4:51 what in the bibliography accurate angel is this shtick
The campfires might be related to how a real typewriter is assembled. Maybe it was a deliberate choice to recreate that experience.
Tbh the ferarri one makes sense.
Gotta say I love that typewriter instruction one XD
the helicarrier part is because those pieces are supports to keep the set up, so you take those pieces off at the end of the set
Yeah when I noticed the Koenigsegg Jesko had a 1x1 plate with the Jesko logo on it, I nearly died thinking I put it in the wrong place 😂 Speaking of mixing up 1x1 plates, I'm colorblind and I put my entire Hogwarts hospital wing set together before realizing that there were two different color 1x1 plates and I could barely tell the difference until I was finishing the build up and a bunch of them were in the wrong place 😭
the ship in a bottle's "dump the entirety of the bag into the bottle" step is pretty funny but it is a bit overused.
It’s really 200 iq. Much too confusing for the normal person
1:04 maybe this step is sit back and enjoy!
Good job you've done another amazing video
6:00 the reason why the set has those steps is because those piles appease the God legominom. If you don't complete those steps you will be cursed with forever having a obvious piece missing in all your builds. No matter how much you replace or glue, it will always vanish.
Ninjago city gardens also makes you stack 2 2x3 plates, then place 3 1x2 plates to essentially make a 2x3 brick at the green building next to the museum. The thing is, there are the actual 2x3 bricks used for a very similar part in the build.
Does it add anything to the resulting texture? It is supposed to be a different kind of hedge or something?
@@oldvlognewtricks No. That part is completely hidden
@@amielhosein1004 Curious
my favorite one is when instructions transferred 2x2 into 2x3
The only thing I can come up with regarding the 'piles' is the designer sought to show the part from alot of angles. So they piled them up and drew what they saw.
Or they needed to beef up the piece number for the set, for some reason 🤷♂️
I think the piles mean to say that you don't need all of them yet, and you can lay most of them on the side for now. But they will come back in sooner steps.
@@davidvandersterre thats exactly how it was
They also instruct you to take off bricks in 5893. It does make sense though
I also really like the ship in a bottle's instruction of "just pour like 300 1x1 studs into this"
Man I keep trying to get into Lego UA-cam, but every time I do it's just 10 minutes of "Why would they use this piece lol"
In the pac man set you have to take off a huge technic rod with bricks on it it was there for support
On the death star from 2008 also have the no lego piece steps
its pretty obvious why they tell you to keep the unfinished pieces in a separate pile. i really dont think that part of the video needed like 2 minutes repeating yourself lol
Number 2 would make the best fire for roasting things as well as light, number 1 would probably last the longest tho
I built the Ferrari set a few weeks ago, and I did have a moment of "Oh, crap, I need a printed piece here but i think i used it earlier" but then I realized that all of the red 1x1 tiles were printed and all but 2 of them are hidden, which is how it's supposed to be.
I actually got that set for my dad as a birthday present; he's a big car guy and a fan of Ferraris in particular. Turns out he had a model of that exact car when he was a kid! He let me assemble the Lego version but I had him apply the stickers, because I didn't want to risk messing them up on his set.
Hello SpitBrix!
If you don’t understand the last one, read this comment.
The bricks removed were to keep the build stable as you are building it. It is not needed in the final build.
I'm probably never gonna buy anything from a UA-cam video sponsor, but I gotta admit that that segway into the ad was clever.
displaying as piles helps people organise while building and uses less ink than printing each copy as there's overlap, they could just have one with a times symbol but pile looks nice for less ink so it makes more sense
I feel like the campfires have something to do with the Ideas sets being fan-designed.
Not even a mention for the ship in a bottle to just dump all the studs in all at once.
1:30 I think the designer who made the instructions got a backwards, because if you look at number three, the piece from number one is back on
“OH YEAH SUCH A BRILLIANT WAY TO INCLUDE SPONSO-“
Me, a sponsor hater: [Freebird Starts Playing]
i comment on stuff VERY SPECIFIC and I’m sorry
The piles for the typewriter are just to show that they're not going to be used in the immediately following steps I'm assuming. Letting you know that you can set them aside
Now thats a good way to do the sponsor, didnt skip it just for that
