    3:55 Regarding Bricklink Designer Program, can you do an episode about this? What can MOC designers and LEGO fans learn from official LEGO designers?
    To delve into the topic of set instructions, does the set designer get involved in the instructions process, or is this typically done by someone else? It would be amazing to get some insights (or an episode) into how designers create LEGO-quality instructions.

      Set instructions are a different department, the designers send a 3D model to a separate department.

    I will say, I kinda agree with you regarding the Bricklink Designer sets. On one hand it is cool that some sets get a second chance to be available to the public, but having them in such limited quantities (that basically all sell out in the first few hours) really sucks for people who want them, but miss out. I just recently got the Winter Chalet from the third wave of the Designer Program, and while I was building it, I kept thinking about how Lego would have done things differently: the structural stability didn’t feel right, the steps in the instructions were sometimes a little janky/in a bad order, and some of the pieces would have definitely been in different colors/new molds if Lego was designing it. I am still glad I got it though, it will be a great addition to my winter village.

    • @lordbenji1989
      @lordbenji1989 Рік тому

      These sets are designed without any new pieces. So if you miss a wave you can still get the sets by picking bricks from bricklink or Lego.

    I don’t like how LEGO said they would end regionals because people couldn’t get it. But now we have this which most can’t get either because they live outside the countries available or they sell out quickly

    • @stehlik

      I thought Lego produce all sets to last at least a year - which one was rotated earlier? Not all get sold in all regions? What are examples?

    YEAH! I am always looking forward to a new Tuesday Talk, they make my day every time. :)
    I also noticed that many questions pop up again and again, so a recap-style video that condenses the designer questions could really be cool.
    It would also be a very good resource to point people towards that ask these questions. Like "here, check out this video!".
    Also: damn, you got a second camera angle now, the production value went up again. Keep up the great work! :D

    -Dark Pit
    -Inkling

    -Ken
    -Captain Olimar
    - Captain Falcon
    - Samus
    -Wii Fit Trainer
    -Isabella
    Please note that there is no Pokémon since Mega Construx has the license and no sonic as it would be weird to add sonic characters if you won’t add sonic( cause he is exclusive to one set)

    I never bought a bricklink set, (some of them look quite nice), but it was a "natural" consequence of the "open view politics" of LEGO, adquiring Bricklink itself. Actually it´s a quite "democratic" program, and don´t forget that the these sets are pre-paid, so no loss for LEGO is secured.

    So, an update on my comment from last week regarding Bricklink designer sets…. Having heard your thoughts on the matter, AND after starting to build the BDP Winter Chalet set, I agree 100% with your view on it. The concept is cool, but you are so right about the quality. I’m on page 136 of the instructions and so far it has honestly been the most slow paced, boring, inefficient design I’ve ever built. I actually found myself getting annoyed with it! First time I’ve ever felt that way building anything out of LEGO. So, yeah, totally agree with you on the BDP sets!

      @That0neJawn Рік тому

      I have some. I also build a lot of digital mocs and price optimization is a key part of making instructions :D
      I have three main pieces of advice:
      1) Check your most expensive pieces and see if you can find cheaper substitutes. These are usually pieces that are old or are used in rare colors. You especially need to make sure to *not use* the old light grey, dark grey and brown colors. Use the new light bluish grey, dark bluish grey and reddish brown instead.
      2) If you don't see certain pieces in a moc, the color basically doesn't matter. Change internal pieces to the most affordable colour option.
      3) Sometimes, using different sized plates or bricks (like 1 2x4 instead of 2 2x2) can be cheaper. This is a bit advanced though, because you need to make sure that your build is still stable if you do this.

    I doubt Nintendo has any interest in regular mini figures, they are very weird with their licensing and development. People have been begging for a new Fzero game but Nintendo refuses to do it because they don’t have any new ideas for it. Even though a simple remaster would make them boat loads of cash they don’t care they have to innovate or revolutionise their games.
    The Lego Mario game is the most Nintendo thing I could ever imagine, I think you are dead on with the one off figure thing. I’m sure Lego are pushing for it but Nintendo is immensely stubborn and will happily turn down sure things to do something weird or experimental.
