I love the concept of this video! Some constructive feedback - I found I was getting a bit overloaded, there was quite a bit going on visually, and the sound effects were a bit too loud which made it harder to focus on what you were saying. Also it was all quite rapid, like sometimes I would only catch on to where I’m looking for a brick just as the text/arrow has disappeared, especially for the 3in1 build where I didn’t know where to look. I ended up pausing and backing up quite a bit, maybe spend a little more time on each technique and show them off a bit more?
Big fan of techy building though, and your presentation and production is decent, this could do well as a video series!
I hope you guys try out Speed Champions if you haven’t already.
If you’re into unconventional techniques packed into a small space, this is exactly the theme for you.
I would love to see a mathematical breakdown of techniques in sets like the Countache, 512 M, Supra, Tributo or DB5.
@@wai0937 Great idea, Speed Champions are next-level. Just built the DB5 and it's amazing.
@@BogusNoise Thanks so much for the feedback! We're just getting started and still figuring it all out. Hope to keep improving!
try Sembo, Qingbao, BlueBrixx, the Mattel thing or what ever...., than no boring anymore in your life
Mike Psiaki is the GOAT! If you can, try to get 31023, it is a masterclass of building techniques and before joining LEGO was the one that completely blew me away as at that time, the type of Snot techniques used were kinda revolutionary. Then you should also get 31039, it’s one of his “babies”. Mike loves planes and that model shows that.
Amazing video! I’ll share it with Mike. I’m sure he’ll appreciate it
I came from your community post your right this is awesome
I have the 31039 and remember playing with it so much flying around outside so much until i eventually broke it haha
Thanks so much for sharing this Video, Tiago! It was really interesting to see techniques and pieces broken down in this way and also tracked throughout some sets like Creator 3 in 1’s.
i always look up to you when looking for a new set, since you're really good at telling whats good or bad in lego! also its always nice to learn some new techniques for MOCs now and then
Wow, thanks so much for the recommendations - definitely going to try to get these (right now!).
Thank you so much again for sharing this with your audience, and for being willing to share with Mike! Hope he doesn't hate it 😆
LEGO is all about creativity, but it is rare to see actually creative and high production quality videos about LEGO. I really have to congratulate you guys for bringing something refreshing to the table
Wow, thank you so much!

8:24 “The vacation house turns the bear into a grill.”
Bear Grylls 💀
Well done! This video has the production value of a channel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. PS - nice job spotlighting the "satisfying" moments of these builds.
Totally agree with the production. A lot of different filming went into this.
Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment!!
Also fully agree with this. It was very enjoyfull to watch, and it was standing out from any of the other LEGO content you find across UA-cam.
Sadly most bigger channels just go for the money.
Its the small channels that count.
I’m blown away by this video. The concept of following a single creator, the depth of study, the math, and the outstanding production quality. So many inventive and intelligent things in this video.
Was already impressed by your channel but you two went Super Saiyan for this one.
I hope every Lego reviewer watches this and is influenced.
Psiaki is a great choice. He’s definitely the most impressive builder they have right now. I love that you found a range of his builds to study including some classics like the Mustang and Apollo, a polybag, and especially the Creator 3 in 1.
Wow, thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback. Very glad you liked the Creator 3-in-1, that was such a sleeper hit for us. Thanks so much!!
Agreed
Na he’s ain’t the most impressive builder they have right now. He’s good like everyone else in the team but there are better
@@xhearthfirex6571 Who?
Saturn V is by far the best building experience I've had with Lego the last few years. For every new SNOT and sometimes weird placement I went "huh, clever!" or "that's really clever." or "Ahh, I get it now." or "ooh man, that is so smart!". :D
This design-focused video is a breath of fresh air compared to the other LEGO review videos. I love how you point out the interesting building techniques of each set as that's what I really enjoy most while building LEGO sets. I'm glad to have discovered this channel and I can't wait to see more videos. Keep up the excellent work! Liked and subbed!
Thanks so much! Happy to find other people who also love interesting building techniques!
When I first got the Saturn V, I wanted it more as a display piece, so I really didn't care how boring the building process was gonna be, but for a repetitive looking build, the internals were what kept it alive, and its easily my favorite LEGO set of all time.
great video, its nice to see an approach to a bunch of different sets like this, good stuff!
Thank you so much!
This made me appreciate all the engineering that goes into Lego sets! Vacation Getaways is peak Creator 3 in 1.
Thanks! Glad you like Vacation Getaways too!
Also loved the “turntable” shot at 8:41 😂😂😂 consider buying an actual turntable, it’s great value for money I feel, but then again I’ll probably miss the hand turntable shots ahah
Hahah thanks good to know! We've been agonizing over this
Wow! I would never have bought the Mustang, but now you have me interested!
Same! We never would've thought we were interested until digging further in, but it really impressed us. Thanks!
The Speed Champions cars always have interesting buildings techniques in them. I'm not a car person but I love building Speed Champions just to see how they're built.
Oh yeah, great tip - the Speed Champions all look amazing. We're not car people either but Speed Champions are just perfect.
This was the exact comment I was looking for. Every car using some different type of detail is just perfect. Recently I was building the Koenigsegg Jesko and found one of the coolest hidden details. So Koenigsegg is a Swedish based car company, and during the build process, the interior filler pieces form the shape of the Swedish flag. It works too perfectly to just be a coincidence.
@@jamesblond6947 oh my God they are!
I was mostly just tickled by the jesko using a minifigure meat cleaver as an air intake "cutter", which is just clever on so many levels.
I love your use of stop-motion to film the builds! It was nice to see these step-by-step builds without hands getting in the way.
Recently, I’ve been building the Eiffel Tower and it’s definitely a tedious building process; however, some of the techniques and parts utilized by the designers are ingenious. It’s mainly held together by some technic pins and clips. The build also inverts at points, so you can take apart the build into sections.
Ah, thanks for the building analysis - that sounds neat! Thanks for letting us know about Eiffel Tower.
Tiago Catarino shared this to his channel’s community and I’m so glad he did! It was fascinating to see such a variety of techniques and parts in use to create such clean builds. I loved your choice to track the use of unique parts in the 3 in 1 set! I sometimes wonder if parts were used in a main build specifically with the alternate build in mind (either because of color choice or a specific shape). This was a great showcase.
Subscribed!
Thank you so much, and thanks for the thoughtful comment!
Starry Night and the Lightyear ship are some of the most satisfying builds I’ve experienced
I must say, I'm amazed by the production quality! Your channel really needs more attention. While my awareness to new LEGO sets has diminished over the years, my love of LEGO hasn't, and it's awesome to see how creative these set designers have gotten. That being said, your focus on these sets really highlights the studs-out technique and how it can be applied.
Thank you so much!
This was so great! So many Lego videos are focused on news, reviews, or retrospectives on older themes. Those are great, but this really nailed down a huge part of why Lego is fun! I’m not a technical person at all, so I really appreciated this!
Thanks so much!
This video was phenomenal. Produced so well. I look forward to more of these technique breakdowns!
Thank you so much!
Oh MY! I have been on about Mike P. from the beginning. To be fair, his talents are hard to overlook. Yes please, more vids just like this!!! Instant fan!!!
Mike P. is the greatest! Thanks so much!
Too boring? This is exactly the detail we want from Lego videos. Well done!
This is next level LEGO content! It was a bit fast for me, but I know I can slow it down, pause, or play it again. 😅 And I’m here for it!
Thank you so much! And thanks for the feedback, we were worried about the video being too long, so probably overcorrected. Hope to keep improving!
The Saturn V is one of the best LEGO sets in my opinion. The really cool building techniques paired with the impressive size of the finished model as well as the very reasonable price given the amount of pieces and size make it a great building experience.
Creativity is fun with lego and gives that feeling of accomplishment when a set I'm building suddenly makes sense. Lego is expensive, but it's great to know the set I purchased provides ingenuity and creativity. Knowing these sets will offer more value and entertainment over time makes it worth it. Please make more videos like this.
Mike is the GOAT. I bought the Blue Power Jet (his first official set,) as soon as it was out. So good.
I randomly stumbled upon this video and it is and it is brilliant , i am honestly Blown away by the quality of this video I am really excited to see more !
Thank you!
Great work! I really loved your presentation of the techniques and observations you had about the sets. Analyses of LEGO build techniques in your style aren’t easy to come by, so this video was a treat to watch. I totally think you should do a second video on the rest of the techniques you found!
This is one of the BEST and most INSPIRATIONAL Lego videos I've seen in a long time.
Thanks so much!
The wing edges and angled crew area of the 10497 Galaxy Explorer are wildly impressive, and the tiling of the wings was spectacularly satisfying.
I would like to see a part 2, I love seeing all the different techniques
Great to know, thanks!
Can't wait to see a part 2! The deep dive on a specific builder is a really cool inside look on one person's technical growth.
I LOVE this video. Please do more of this content. Neat and small techniques from building a set often get “lost in translation” for lego reviews. But this helps gives those moments some time to shine!
Brilliant; especially the Mustang. Provides an understanding of how things work!
Oh my, what an awesome video!! Such a refreshing approach to the hobby! And very educational too. Sadly I'm not a native speaker so I just can't keep up with the fast pace, I'll have to watch multiple times. I subscribed a few weeks ago and I'm thrilled with the content of your channel. I'm sure it will grow very big very fast, keep up the good work!!
Thank you so much!! And thanks for the feedback on the speed, that's good to know - we hope to keep improving!
I thought I was the only one XD, I turned captions on and it helped a lot, but sadly it covers a lot of the builds sometimes.
Doesn't look like a video made by a channel that small.
As usual with real life boats, right side (starboard) has green marker lights and left side (port) has red. It is a maritime convention which makes it easier to determine where the boat goes at night and plays crusial role in collision avoidance.
This video made me appreciate the build of the Saturn V even more, and also made me go out and get the Galaxy explorer. That was another amazing build, so many clever techniques
This is such a fantastic video! Really glad I found your channel, cant wait to watch more!
Okey I could have never imagine how crazy the tecnics on the mustang were, It's so acuarate!
The Saturn V is probably my favorite set. It’s huge and creative and it looks nice
I enjoyed this video immensely! This design/technique breakdown is not boring in the slightest. In fact, it's the most deeply I've ever been engaged by a LEGO video!
Lego sure likes sneaking as many frogs in as possible.
Gotta admit that I agree with what alota folk are saying down here. It’s really refreshing to see this more analytical side of the Lego community, and focusing a specific builder, and more discussing how it feels to builds the sets rather than the finished thing itself. It is something I don’t really get from other creators too often, keep up the good work
Thank you so much!
love this video concept! would like to see more of it
This is the masterclass of what I want from LEGO content
More videos like this one please. The complexity of these designs are far more interesting to watch and hear about.
The production quality of this video and the pure love of the hobby completely encapsulates me throughout this video, Definitely a channel I'm going to keep up with from now on!
Watched this earlier today, coming back to comment. I just adore this video so much. I’m so happy to see this fresh take on lego UA-cam, really diving into the engineering and math in standard lego sets, not mocs. I’m even sending this to my friends. 😄😄Please please please keep up this style of video.
Wow, thank you so much!
I never knew that some of my favourite sets were by Mike Psaiki. I love the Saturn V and Titanic. The mustang has just moved up to the top of my list to get hold of.
I have loved his sets. My favorites to build, by far, have been the Saturn 5 and the Ecto 1. Genius level!
WHY AM I JUST NOW LEARNING ABOUT THIS CHANNEL
Excellent video, you've got a new subscriber!
Wow, great video! Loved the content, presentation, and editing! I have many of these sets, but my favorite technique of Mike Psiake's--as you highlight in two of these sets--is way he makes large, round structures--he is brilliant!
"The vacation house turns the bear into a grill." Sounds so wild out of context
what did i just watch... it was amazing. please continue
How do you only have 2k subscribers?? this is excellent content-- looking forward to seeing more!!
Thanks so much!!
thank you for highlighting the building techniques in some affordable sets!
i’ve been enjoying the Stuntz series recently, they aren’t particularly technical in many places but as a long time lego fan it’s refreshing to build a set and then actually play with it :)
for such a small set, the lamborghini countach is one of the best building experiences i've ever had
This channel was such a gem to find! Absolutely loved this video, and after checking out all of your other videos, it's clear that you guys really know what you're doing!
I've only built the orchid set but you touched all the things I loved about it besides the custom mini fig hat orchid pieces. loved the vid.
Definitely interested in a part 2!
I think the step at 12:26 is one of my favorite moments from a LEGO build ever. Something about the way it clicks together was a magical moment during a long build.
I follow Lego creation for years and I didn't think I could find such a relevant and right video about Lego on UA-cam 🤗
This concept is perfect, cause it speaks exactly about what is fascinating and magic about Lego. Waiting for next ones !
The timing on this video is perfect for me because I have had a similar feeling AND I want to make a video about set 60383 because I feel like it is the perfect microcosm of what makes a perfect Lego set. It has surprising detail you wouldn't expect from a cheap City theme set, it was fun to build, it was enjoyable in every way. I felt joy with purchasing, building, and customizing this set like I haven't felt in years.
Wow. This is awesome! Thanks for creating this!
The botanical line is awesome! And the two new set coming on February aren't even stolen from rejected Ideas!
Definitely not boring! It's great to see the more engineering-side of lego sets like this!
Love the video! I especially appreciated the different approaches with each set, and always love geeking out on Lego math. I've gained a whole new appreciation for Lego math since designing recreations of buildings on our campus.
I enjoyed the video and learning about Psiaki’s building techniques. I have the Ecto-1 and Galaxy Explorer and they were both really interesting and fun to build. If you continue with the video series I think the Galaxy Explorer has a lot of interesting techniques in its build.
Thanks! We love Galaxy Explorer too!
Honestly, loved seeing all of the different techniques from this designer! I really like the what you all have going here. Excited for what you all have in store. ☺️
Thanks so much!
There was a lot of satisfying stuff. Loved the approach to put build experience and function over looks. And there were a few awesome sets I hadn't seen before, like the camper van which must be the best 3 in 1 I've ever seen, the only one actually worth buying three times
This was genuinely wonderful. Appreciating the skill of designing with Lego as a system, which is where the true beauty lies. 10/10
the best building experience of lego i've ever had the pleasure to experience was building the saturn V rocket, and i've built lot's of lego but this set kept blewing my mind, not only for it's sheer size but also by how it kept finding clever construction technique all around, i wish i cpuld built it for the rist time again, looking forward to one day getting my national treasure, the Eiffel tower...
definitely not boring! this was an absolute thrill to watch, cant wait for the rest of them!
This is great!
More of this please!
great video! and very well explained. Was into lego in the late 90s and early 2000s but drifted away from the hobby in the late 00s, when branded tie-ins were becoming more and more central
This is my first time finding your channel, and I'm blown away! You two are so thorough, and you showcase your points really well.
This Video is fantastic! I love how you have keyed in on so many techniques and building nuance and the production value is great.
this is my favourite lego channel
This is a very good approach to introduce to your auidence about the special building techniques for the various sets. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you and it is definitely a nice try. Look forward to seeing more videos from you both.
Awesome video. I was totally enthralled. Please post more of this kind of analytical content!
this is the highest quality lego content. Keep up the amazing work, I'm sure you'll have lots of success!
This is a really cool deep dive into different Lego techniques!
Absolutely brilliant ! Keep it coming.
This was a great video a fresh take on the UA-cam Lego format. I’d love to see more videos like this.
This is an amazing video! Please do another one 🙏😁
Loved it! Thanks.
This is such a cool video! I love seeing all the techniques explained in an easy to follow format! Please make more!!!
I really like videos like this! Knowing and learning the math behind it all really helps understand how to make better builds.
Thanks so much! Love to math and build.
This is a great video. For “Lego beginners” as you say, you know more about Lego than some people who have had Lego UA-cam channels for years! I look forward to watching more of your content
Thank you so much! We hope to keep learning!
This is such a thoughtful and refreshing style of review! Thank you.
Love the format. Great video!
This was really engaging and fun to watch, looking forward to more break downs like this 👍
This was great! More of this type of in depth look at creative building techniques please!
This video was awesome! Would love to see more, you two gave great in-depth explanations of the building process
Thank you so much!
Oh wow, I loved this! Following creators and techniques.. great idea!
Honestly after building them, the Creator Expert Porsche 911 Turbo has its place at the Mustang table. Same goes for the 1969 Camaro and the Defender to an extend.
All of those creator expert vehicles are just wonderfully made
While expensive, the new LEGO Lion Knights' Castle 10305 has some REALLY awesome techniques. A really fun build with lots of little details.
Seeing the mustang, I could 100% tell that the ecto 1 was by the same designer. Particularly because of the door hinges. Great video! I would definitely watch more like this
This is the aspect of Lego that I enjoy, the techniques and creativity of Lego parts. Thank You. You just earned a new subscriber.
Wow! Blown away by the quality and polish of your videos, which is beyond on par with most 6/7figure subscribernchannels! Entertaining and informative. Looking forward to seeing an explosion of growth in 2023 as more people find your content!
Thanks so much!
