Yes. It is not Danish. It’s dutch.
The joke on the box is also lost in translation. As steengoed is a dutch word for very good / extremely good. Steen in dutch is brick in English. As in Lego brick = Lego steen in Dutch

Fun fact about the “HEY!” from the Lego City ads, the same dude who voiced those ads, David Bateson, voices Agent 47 in the Hitman Series
WAIT DAVID BATESON ?! HOW
@@gg_mydog968 He made a TikTok talking about it to
@@IvanDubsK7 I don’t own TikTok my Guy
Lego Hitman when?
@@spiralgodking9877 the game we need
The fact that Godzilla and Shrek were cancelled themes, I was sad, but with Captain Underpants, I really feel ROBBED
Same!
Excuse me WHAAAAAT. I also still have trouble believing it.
I feel robbed because of the cancelled Looney Tunes theme.
ARE WE JUST GOING TO IGNORE THAT THERE WERE GONNA BE AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER SETS
@@El_Omar2203 they made a whole cmf series of Looney Tubes
One of my earliest memories as a kid was waking up one year on my birthday to my older brother's remote-controlled Mindstorm kart rolling into my room, playing the happy birthday song, doing a little spin, and promptly leaving.
Theyre a commercial game dev now. Proud of them.
That was so heartwarming to read. :')
Amazing 🎉

Happy birthday Paulie
Thats so sweet!! :)
I actually remember clutch powers being mentioned in a very small reference by Cole in the I believe 7th episode or something in Ninjago in the episode where the ninjas try to win the dance competition to get access to the fang blade and Cole finds his true potential but clutch powers is referenced as the guy who invented the competition it's a odd thought that I was reminded of when you said it
Correct!
@@legolord4483 Yes.
I think it would of been funny if they made clutch one of the characters dads
Yup
Clutch was referred as the one who created the prize of it - Fang Blade Cup
4:53 as you noted, during a time of financial crisis for the company, LEGO sold nearly all of Legoland to Merlin entertainment, who owns them to this day. However what you may not know is that in 2019, LEGO purchased the whole of Merlin entertainment, which means they now have full control over their parks again.
Let's goooo
W
There's something weirdly funny about Lego selling off their theme parks, and then proceeding to buy the company they sold them to
@@DisasterEnby power move
The fact that there’s technically LEGO Space lore is one of the best things I’ve ever heard.
@@Makaneek5060 There's official magazine comics proving the connection between the themes.
@@Makaneek5060 That's because the guy in the video is a dumb ass who didn't do proper research. Connecting LEGO themes is a hobby of mine, so far I have found and established cannon connections between 70ish themes that set them all in the same universe. Galaxy Squad is connected to Alien Conquest but not directly, its through a long string of connections. He also incorrectly identified Monster Fighters as directly connected to Alien Conquest. To connect Galaxy Squad to Alien Conquest you need to first account for Galaxy Squad's connection to Monster Fighters, this is established in a LEGO club magazine comic where we see that the defeat of Lord Vampyre is what attracted the Buggoids from Galaxy Squad to earth. In the official description of the series 16 collectable minifigure "Spy" it is stated that he has worked with the Galaxy Squad. It's also said that he has worked with the agents from the 2009 Agents theme. The Agents theme is connected to LEGO City through a racing game that features both the themes. City is connected to Classic Space through various Classic Space logos throughout the theme, it's even on many City space vehicles. The classic space logo also appears on the series 6 collectible minifigure "Intergalactic Girl", In her official description she is said to be the arch nemesis of the series 8 collectible minifigure "Alien Villainess". In the official description of the Alien Villainess she is revealed to be the leader of the alien forces in Alien conquest. Again, I take major issue with most of this video, as a huge LEGO fan I immediately noticed that lots of his information was blatantly incorrect and just poorly researched.
He's not wrong the lego tower is currently larger then the twin towers
I am tremendously impressed by how you named each tier after a signature Lego location! That is so creative! I'm also impressed with myself for recognizing them all, save for Nimbus Station. But what can I say, I never played Lego Universe!
You can play lego universe again today
Lego Universe was super charming, but ultimately I think it was limited by LEGO's choice of studio to give it to. NetDevil didn't exactly have a good track record when it came to developing MMOs, with only one hit and two misses not counting LU.

Hello there
I don't care if these icebergs take long, they're so good
I concur with this statement
yep i hear this while in zoom
I agreee they are great, I just posted a new video myself hope you enjoy it .
Little correction about Bionicle: the masks didn't give the Toa their elemental powers. They had elemental powers on their own, and the masks usually gave them specific additional superpowers, like invisibility or telepathy. I think that's different in Gen 2, however
The gen 2 masks were elemental. Gen 1 had unique powers
Well, correction correction: they actually needed their masks to use their powers as they didn't work without some sort of mask on their face.
So, in a way, it's...kind of true? That being said, it is correct that it's not the masks themselves that give them their elemental power.
In gen 2, the masks power up their already-existing elemental abilities.
Think you mean mostly or some.
NERD!
Honestly, one of my biggest takeaways here is how responsive Lego is to community input - the Maori language thing, releasing the 501st battlepack, selling Ai Weiwei bricks again, etc
As well as the return of teal bricks, they made an entire large teal brick 2x4 set (as a lego vip reward) when they brought it back, after officially discontinuing it years prior, and it actually started appearing in a lot more sets (prior to that, even when they were still around they weren't used much aside from one theme iirc)
I don't know how to feel about the fact that chima isn't an entry of it's own because that could either mean that it's too well-known to not be on the iceberg or too obscure to be on the iceberg
It was less than mid without being actual garbage… it would have thrived if lego made more shows on their original sets.
@@chadmann2724 come on if you're gonna bash it at least don't do it on it's 10th anniversary
It literally burried in my deepest thoughts for a year. I keep wondering what happened to Chima to end up not being named? That used to be part of my childhood and it was a blast of a show.
I can't believe we were so close to getting Lego Godzilla and Tintin, only to get shafted. Hopefully they get chosen in Lego Ideas soon...
I would love to see both of these themes!
Dude, LEGO Shrek.
Holy hell Godzilla would be beautiful... Oh and Tintin is okay too I guess.
@@smugalice6206, (Bursts through a block door) SOMEBODY--
I would totally buy a buildable Godzilla set

Those Lego Bionicle, Dino Attack, Aqua Raiders and Sports lines gave me nostalgic memories I didn't even know I still held onto, thanks for this iceberg Pigpen.
These videos about lego always make me sad because it reminds me of a the legos i've broken and lost.
*LEGO 2014:* _"Everything is awesome! Everything is cool when you're part of the team."_
*LEGO 2020:* A man has fallen into the river in LEGO city.
HEY~!!!
Waiting for a Lego city suicide forest set
1) You all ready post this comment on Diamondbolt's Cursed Commercials (Part 1) video
2) The LEGO "HEY!" commercials is from 2006
Atlantis is also connected to Power Miners, as one of the characters, the imaginatively named Brains, changed from being a Power Miner to one of the Atlantis crew during the line's second year, after they switched from Green to Yellow.
Josh Thunder from Dino is also the grandson of Johnny Thunder from Adventurers.
You’re as balls-deep into Lego lore as I am and I respect you for that.
I mention the brains thing in the video
Love the description. "I DONT KNOW THE CODE"
28:14 Aqua Raiders was one of my favorite themes as a kid. It is the canonical predecessor to LEGO Atlantis. I only had one set from that theme, and it was the submarine.
Aqua Raiders was the bomb
I went to a shitty underfunded public school, but we had a few coaches that really tried hard, there was mindstorm class my 8th grade year. I remember thinking it was super complex and would take a while to understand, but it was fairly easy to pick up. It was still the best class I ever took. We made war elephants, Rubik’s Cube solving bots, battle bots, racing bots
I remember in our grade me and my mates were forced into doing the mindstorm thing. We got bored after two weeks and coded them to make battle bots.
It’s nice to hear people acknowledge when their teachers in a bad school were trying really hard. Most idiot kids just belittle their school and blame their teachers for somehow not learning a single thing. Which shows they don’t know what not learning anything from school actually looks like.
I had a class that used it too, along with First LEGO league.
At a “competition” I watched a robot buy popcorn and that’s engrained in my memory.
1:31:19 I can kinda explain this! At some point in their past, LEGO did a focus group thing involving young girls, to try to break into that demographic. Turns out, the only thing they really wanted was more human-shaped figures with better articulation. There was other stuff, but that's the answer to the question you asked. I'm simplifying a lot here, look more into it if you're interested.
Legos were a huge part of my childhood. and will remain as a golden highlight of my youth and early creativity. Countless hours of playtime. Miss being a kid sometimes. Great video!
You’re channel is just simply amazing. I play these icebergs during my workday and they both inform me and make me laugh out loud. Thanks for all the great content.
The original LEGO Batman series is my favorite theme ever. It’s so nostalgic and has great builds.
I used Mindstorm as a kid, it's basically exactly what you described. Instead of a coding language they used pre-made coding blocks. It could also respond to colors and objects which could trigger certain codes. I think they're used in Lego League too
The visual interface is quite clunky ... we used C to program the brick. Mindstorms has a academics version ment for mechatronics classes.
There is a new thing that's based on the pre-mindstorms programmable bricks. I forget the name but it's a brick with everything integrated, including battery and motors.
When I was in Middle school, we had a robotics team that used LEGO mindstorm
honestly it was confusing to me, but I didn't mind because I just messed around with LEGO
I have a wierd pirate lego set that was exclusive to legoland. It actually features a bottle of rum, so the no alchoholic bevereges rule was kinda overlooked I suppose. The pirates weren’t minifigures but looked like jack stone figures instead. Very cursed
I distinctly remembering my dad being very hyped for Lego dimensions because of the Gremlins lego figs. He actually bought it just for that and I remember us setting down the day after it launched, and being so disappointed.
As a successor to BIONICLE, Hero Factory is pretty crap.
But on it's own, it was surprisingly good.
Hero Factory was the successor to Bionicle in body, while Ninjago was the successor in spirit.
@@blam320 True, but Ninjago's Lore isnt as in-depth as Bionicle, but it go some cool places.
It’s literally bionicle but self IP theft 😅
I loved hero factory and I used to collect those like crazy back in the day
I would love to see a tier list on Bionicle sets/characters like your ones on Star Wars or Transformers.
28:49 That sound gave my instant flashbacks of playing LEGO Indiana Jones on the DS. I loved that game.
If you want to talk about scummy Comic-Con figures, there was a 18-month long period where the only way to have an ability in Lego Dimensions was to own the Supergirl figure that they handed out at E3 2016.
Thanks for the shoutout! I’m just finishing up my latest book atm. I’ll be back with videos in February.
I used to watch this LEGO Metroid stop motion series on UA-cam when I was like 7 yrs old. It was actually really cool, you could tell there was a lot of effort put into it.
Legends of Chima is severely underappreciated in my opinion. I hope to see it return someday.
This video was a great trip down memory lane, recognizing sets you had years ago
correction about mixels:
a murp is NOT 4 mixels mixed. it's an unsucsessful mix, the number of mixels mixed in doesn't matter
I’m an avid lego collector and I’ve been eagerly anticipating this one.
Why do the other themes need to be "replace" or "kill" ninjago? How do you know they are not just trying to strike gold again? And have both running together.
The Mr. Magorium section hurt me so much, that was one of my favorite childhood movies and I forced two of my friends to watch it like three weeks ago
Bionicle and Lego Star Wars are the best. I was obsessed with both of them back in the 2000's. I had a lot of the original Bionicle's but not sure what happened to them over the years. I even remember getting those Bionicle's from McDonald's happy meals too. What a blast from the past. Dino Attack was also really cool at the time it's a shame it didn't last long and had to censor the theme. Almost forgot about Exo Force too. I was into that as well. If I had more space and money I would probably still be buying Legos right now.
I love dino attack, I just got the fire hammer today and it was a really good set.
Listening to him say that mindstorms were babies first coding gave me flashbacks to the Lego Robot League and 2 kids straight up got into a fight over scores
I love how much research you do for these videos, it’s incredible.
Hi Tawi
Bro Masters of Spinjitzu was the shit
I would KILL to have a LEGO Mixels Reboot. The series was extremely unique, and the tribes being weird is what makes it good. Also, the og Mixels Series ended in Series 9. They could have done JUST ONE MORE SERIES so that they can end in a Multiple of 5, but NOPE! Mixels, even being a franchise that lasted 2 years and being discontinued almost 6 years ago, actually has a Discord Server that is active a bunch of the time. And there aren't low members in it. Anyway, I hate it how, when I contacted LEGO about the Mixels' end, they just said
"They were discontinued to allow more space for other themes"
Like what do you mean bruh, give me a Reboot
your channel is criminally underrated. keep up the good work. can’t stop watching these iceberg videos.
45:47 Anyone else notice the Lego Terminator custom fig? *That kid must have had the best childhood ever*
LEGO City Undercover is no longer a Wii U Exclusive game, it was remastered in 2017 on other consoles.
I didn’t know how much I needed to hear Alex Jones say the Lego Rancor is racist
i hate how everyone talks about the starwars lego games without ever mentioning the clone wars games
Great video! Most of the entries brought me back. I have a single mini figure from Exo Force. Keep up the good work.
God I used to spend hours playing lego backlots, thanks for reminding me what it was called and bringing back some awesome memories!
52:00 That vibe you got wasn't too far off. The original show pitch for Gwen was just an old friend of Ben's before being reworked into being a (distant) relative, and a lot of the original idea blend into some episodes.
11:06:50 There's something extra ironic in something as derivative of old pulp adventure serials/genre as Indiana Jones turning around and complaining another thing ripped THEM off.
Gwen was never intended to be a love interest though. Even when she was planned to just be a classmate, it's been said time and time again by the crew that despite being an unrelated girl and boy early on, they were never to be in love. Think it's just a combo of some things being purposely awkward (the dance practice in the wedding episode) and the general assumption of "boy and girl hate each other, that's love."
Wow didn't know this was an over 11 Hour Video 😂
I think the one thing that makes your iceberg videos standout compared to others is the little commercial breaks between layers. It's a fairly original and super nostalgic detail
I want to correct something: the "sandspeeder" *in-lore* is just a "snowspeeder" with a different paint scheme. This is because the "snowspeeder" is just a general-purpose T-47 Airspeeder. It could be used over snow, sand, water, pavement, jungle, or simply the atmosphere of a gas giant. I think it's funny how many people believe that the T-47 was only a snow vehicle. It was literally just an aerial tug that the Rebels strapped some guns onto and sent to some Icebox in the outer rim.
Yes. But it’s directly based on a cancelled toy
[𝙍𝙀𝘿𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙀𝘿]? who the hell is [𝙍𝙀𝘿𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙀𝘿]? the only lego maniac I know is jack.
Speaking of lego, when I was young I had the ultra rare Lego Indiana Jones and Han solo set, which would turn around to reveal the one of the characters but I lost it
Thank you for mentioning Galidor. While I never watched the show, I remember owning a figure from the show. Specifically a character named Gorm, shown at 1:44:11. As a kid I never knew who this character was or where he came from and even now I still barely know. Now I feel like I've opened up something from my childhood
For the Mixels bit, there were more episodes of the show that were longer, I think half-hour to a full hour episodes were made
Just wanna say, I watch a lot of iceberg videos, and I always love seeing yours because of your little commercial breaks in between each layer that relates to the topic. I don't think I've seen anyone else do that.
Glad you took a break, you totally deserve it. Looking forward to more content!!
I feel like there was one thing missing from this Iceberg, and that is the Bionicle: Quest for Mata Nui fan game. I would highly recommend checking that out, its come a long way! Best part of all? Lego gave the okay to continue it.
Was going to include it but if I do a Bionicle iceberg (not sure yet) I want to include it there
@@Pig3636 if you do a bionic leg iceberg you should definitely have the chronicles of jaller
@@Pig3636 You seem to also have missed the Arctic (Expedition) theme
Fun fact, clutch powers is mentioned in the first few episodes of Lego Ninjago , so not too surprising that he'd make a cameo
This video made me remember in 2007 that i went too see the at the time biggest lego building in the world. I was infatuated by it
"Released in promotion for the film Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium..."
Me: oh hey I remember watching that-
"No don't lie to me you have! Not seen this movie."
Me: oh
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Will I. Am Minifigure, the Juno, Jupiter and Galleleio minifigures that went to space, and that Zack the LEGO Maniac actually got a Minifigure
Other than that great iceberg.
Hero Factory gets waaayyyy too much hate, I always thought some had really good designs.
It's true Lego focused too much on Star Wars, as a Marvel and DC Fan, they kinda only make mechs for themes like Batman and Spiderman. While Star Wars gets all these cool sets and ships. But in the end, Star Wars fans are still complaining.
49:50 I had almost all the Monster Fighters figures, they were pretty cool. I didn't know that Clutch Powers came back for Ninjago either, or that the series ran that long
Oh yeah he's in ninjago...... and he just accidentally inadvertently got a ninja killed.
@@timebomb42 That darn Clutch Powers
love the content my guy! i consistently come back to your channel and am never disappointed. it’s currently 4:29AM for me as of writing this, and i’m about to knock out with this in the background. that’s how connected we are. my only note as a pigpen enthusiast would be to adjust the audio of the clips you insert to match the level of your voice. mad jarring to hear a much louder clip over a subtler voice but keep up the great work my guy i love it!
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium was one of my favorite movies growing up, surprised they actually had some lego tie ins.
This is probably one of my favorite iceberg videos. I learned a lot about my favorite childhood toy. I’m a little surprised the iceberg didn’t mention the Master Builder Academy sets though, I used to have the level 1 kit before i gave away my lego collection
Very nice vídeo! Even tough I don't really buy them anymore, Legos still really fascinate me. I was honestly shocked with how I recognized so many of the entries you mentioned from when I was younger, and super into Legos.
Me and the boys huddling up around the TV for the Pigpen upload.
I haven’t even finished the video and you have already brought so many beautiful memories back to me. Thank you!
I wish we got more Heroica, it was such a cool theme and the idea of creating a board game that can look like anything and combine with anything is so cool, the characters looked amazing for their size and the weapons were so unique, I wish they brought it back.
Heroica was my favorite Lego game series back when it was out. I wish Lego had taken the time to flesh it out some more.
You have no idea how long I have been waiting for a good lego iceberg like this, as a massive fan of the topic, I thank you my good sir 🙏
My grandmother actually bought me both books of the Lego Bible and I still have them for some reason, really fascinating stuff
Hey glad to see you're back. Hope all is good, your content is great.
The mid 00s to early 10s had the best sets and themes in my book
Oh my god I’ve been waiting for so something like this can’t wait to watch a great Lego Iceberg video
I loved all the Space Police sets and had a good chunk from both releases. I also like the space sets that were a lil older and had the figures in black with the black visor, and the ships were black with clear yellow. I wanna say they were some sort of Space Police. I was a huge fan of the Ice Planet stuff that came later with the white, black, blue and clear orange color theming. My favorite set was the space monorail, but all the Space Police and Ice Planet stuff is right there. My brother had all the early knights and castle, and the pirate sets. We still have all our stuff from back then, even the build guides.
BLACKTRON! Thats what it was called. I guess I shoulda just waited 30 secs in the video.
RIP Nexo knights, wish I got them when they came out because those knight pieces and sets looked great
Moral of this video: people with too much free time love to protest against lego
To add onto the Just2good bit, he used to have no face out for the public to see, instead represented as the lego toy story Twitch minifig until he did a face reveal and has stuck with his real self ever since.
you brought back some suppressed memories of the adventures of clutch powers lol
The fact that i konw most of these, and even the last one shows how much of a nerd i am, but some surprised me too.
Watxhing this video unlocked a lot of memories for me. Seeing some of these sets made me feel ridiculously nostalgic. Especially the brickfilm addition. Me and my friend spent hours making Lego videos back in the early 2000‘s
Babe wake up
New pigpen iceberg just dropped
On how the church sets can get away with "genuine lego bricks," it's because they openly state they are not affiliated with or endorsed by lego. Companies like battle brick and brickmania, who make war stuff (brickmania is actually a major reseller of brickarms, too!) have to do the same.
I'd also just like to give you props for this. A 2-hour video with hundreds of edited images and video clips is no easy feat, and it's been one of the most comprehensive looks I've seen.
Yea I agree that the Boba Fett’s Starship controversy was overblown. Like, I get it, Slave I is an iconic name, but it’s ultimately irrelevant what the set is named in the long run, and not deserving of the anger it got lol
I think it’s because there was no need to rename it. No one was talking about it having slave in the name, it’s like the company that made the Aunt Jemima pancake stuff, renaming it to Perl Milling Company and completely trashing the Aunt Jemima mascot after years with no one making a big deal about it. It’s just companies suddenly getting a P.C conscience and removing something they deem might be offensive when it never was
lego themes having an actual continuity and lore is insane to me
I haven't seen the video yet but I'm anticipating Pigpen saying "my wife WyldStyle".
Human Wyldstyle is pretty hot I’m not gonna lie
Fun fact: the person who wrote the man has fallen in the river in lego city is the co creator of LEGO NINJAGO
On the topic of "Boba Fett's Starship," it's less LEGO censoring it and more Disney. Disney Bigwigs are now calling The Firespray (even though that's what the model of the ship was called before). But the set was made after Slave I was retired, yet before Firespray was revealed. So LEGO simply went the generic route per Disney's request.
Oh man, THE Lego City commercial being the first commercial of the video is just too perfect, it made me laugh quite hard
Jokes aside, awesome video thanks for all the childhood flashbacks with all those late 2000s and early 2010s sets
For 6+ months, I've been looking for a Lego Iceberg that was packed with content, had a voice, and covered obscure facts. After failing multiple times, I finally found on what I would say, the Definitive Lego Iceberg video. Did I know a majority of these facts? Yes, but I'd say you (PigPen) covered a good hour amount of content.
P.S Heard of Lego Elves? Because I wanna know who your wife is of the main 5.
Elves was a good theme. I hope Lego brings it back.
I was Actually apart of the First Lego League when I was younger we used the mindstorm robots but have since upgraded to the next variation the mindstorm robot inventor I believe it’s called. It was a lot of fun our team never made it past state but it was still a fun experience none the less. Like you said the coding was simple it was just block coding. With rotations being based on how quickly your wheels turned.
Man if something went differently in my more impressionable life if I had that... Eh I probably would be uninterested or my mind just wouldn't compute. But I think in Middle School, possibly High School, I do remember seeing models almost familiar to the ones shown here.
Didn't knew the atlantis and monster hunter were obscure! :0 I still have the shark from atlantis and the tree with the werewolf from monster hunter... a very mutated rememnant of them because I used to make chimeras with my lego sets, but still
The commercial breaks inbetween the tiers is such a good and creative idea! It ties in well with the video.
