Enjoy commenting while you can, since features like that will be gone from these videos in January thanks to youtube being caught with their hand in the cookie jar. You still have a chance.
That's unfortunate I've been on this channel since 2015 and haven't comment on this channel until now i guess this is the right time to do so
I feel so sad that this had to end because UA-cam is stupid with illegal actions. I got some old legos but will never know where some of them are :(
UA-cam just does not seem to care for content creators. Instead of making it easier for content creators to publish and profit from their videos, UA-cam just makes their lives harder...
Nooooo!
Maybe we save archive.org pages for these comments?
I'd like to imagine that there is someone, who once picked up Lego as a child in the early 50's, has kept the first brick they've ever got. One day they might go to the toy store with their grandkids and pick up a set. They might look at all the Lego there is and be amazed at how far that little brick came. Then at home they pick up their first Lego brick, and find out that it still fits the bricks of today. They smile, knowing that their childhood is still there after all these years, and that their kids and grandkids will be able to experience the same joy they had when they were young.
That was beautiful.
That warms my heart
My grandpa still has his original collection with the "softer" LEGO logo on the studs. And some of the bricks in it are even the ones without the tubes.
You should have seen the look on his face when I did just that with a (then brand new) Alpha Team set.
Alright, who's cutting onions in here?😭
That's heartwarming as heck
The genius of LEGO is that they started with a system that was able to stay the same no matter how many different types of brick they added over they years.
Yes that is right. They are very proud of the LEGO System indeed. It was a smart move. There is no way to stop creating new stuff because limitations, only if the company would stop.
That's pretty much what the plan was from the start; for all lego pieces to work together, no matter when they're from or which set.
The best part is that this system is still encouraged today in sets as pieces from one line often end up being used for another
So it always feels like ever piece fits even in themes where it may seem out of place
My uncle kept his sets since he was a kid and he had some of those faceless figs, doll ones and even the early space mini figs. He let me and my brother play with them as kids and when he got children of his own he gave them the collection.
Lucky kids, my system collection is garbage. All I really have is Bionicles
Man the “build up” was intense...
“Bricks may not even be made of plastic”
Let’s not give them any ideas now
LEGO is trying to switch completely to plant-derived plastic. Whether they share the process with the rest of the world is up to them.
They already made a few parts out of rubber
But let's not forget that LEGO is not a reformer - in the end, it's a company seeking for profit, not saving the world.
@Turnip Singularity their is no ethical consumption.
Period.
Kosti Myllymaa Yes, but LEGO are at least much better than most companies at stuff like this.
Vintage Lego were really interesting: just basic brick shapes, actual tires, and bits that could belong to legit model miniatures
That's partly because the Lego brick was a fairly new product, before then they made all kinds of toys, so the bricks were just something to go alongside their existing products, but quickly became far more popular.
Lego still has actual tires, they’re the world’s largest tire manufacturer
That last statement on the future and how stuff changes and evolves is beautiful.
My grandparents still own this kind of Lego and I used to play with it everyday when I get home from primary school.
There were two big brick separators at the elementary school I went to. They got used more as door stops.
8:24
Child: It can take pictures!
old man: I'm sure it can!
Nick: ok boomer
Thank you for everything
These videos continued and encapsulated my love for LEGO. No other UA-cam channel goes this deep into the way these legos effected so many. Thank you so much for the countless hours of enjoyment. I will miss you videos so much but like many creators still can’t grasp its better to end on a good note then too stop on a bad. You will not be forgotten thank you
It's really funny to see how far LEGO has come since the beginning. I can't imagine the oldies of today thinking about LEGO nowadays. It must be an experience for them.
So 2020 will be the end of an era for UA-cam it seems. Or maybe the end of UA-cam. I hope you keep the videos up though. And you can create a Telegram chat or Discord server so we can keep the community going

Hopefully the end of UA-cam. It’s been going downhill since 2009. It’s only found new hills to go down.
there is still youtube untill google is gone
Kids: looking up p@rn on red tube
Me: looking up LEGO on UA-cam.
COPPA: we gotta make the world safe for kids! Ban UA-cam Toy and cartoon channels with primarily adult audiences!
:p
We'll have to create a new site with fairer policies so no one has to do porn.
@@smb-c3po how about newgrounds?
Also, what's wrong with porn? I mean, I agree. No one should HAVE to make porn out of financial desperation, but still
*hears Silent Hill 2 soundtrack*
*instantly likes*
Fun fact: According to Brickapedia, Lego plans to make all Lego bricks in a more Eco friendly material by 2030.
Edit: Thank you for the likes and heart!
They've already made some great progress: They've started introducing plant based pieces that are 98% polyethylene, and have been running on 100% renewable energy for several years!
But wouldn't they warp
@@hankhill1203 thanks hank you should get back to selling propane and propane accessories
@@hankhill1203 FIRE FIRE FIRE!
@@hankhill1203 I AM CORNHOLIO! I NEED TP FOR MY BUNGHOLE
I had one of those OG brick separators in a set given to me when I was 7... in 1993... [Crumbles into dust]
[Quickly reconstitutes] Oh! And I had that Model Team Hot Rod too (pretended that it was a spaceship after building it).
[Crumbles back into dust]
How could we have taken for granted the thing of LEGO that started it all
I love Lego. My first set was from Lego Star Wars, but I've always loved Power Miners, Ninjago, Hidden Side, Pirates, the list goes on. I wanted to share this with you guys, because I'll always love this toy.
That moment when Jack(the new kid in town) brings his Lego to school and eats them for lunch
Reminds of the time when I was with my family in the Legoland in Germany. They had french fries shaped like lego bricks.
By the way the kids toy was a small catapult from the Knights Kingdom theme. We aslo bought some Galidor sets.
Now he's been theorized to be Finn and Bianca's dad.
Imagine if Lego changed their brand name to Ninjago.
That's the most popular theme anyway so it just works.
But he could also be Buddy and is the Ninjago Maniac.
This takes me back as all my earliest lego as a kid was this vintage 60-70s sets as handmedowns
5:43 that's a great idea. I'll keep that in mind for the future.
A cold one in the hand, Starman playing in the backround and a wholesome comment section to read through. What can be better?
I wonder how Historians will look back at LEGO in a couple of 100 years and analyse these toys. Will they notice paterns, different parts, set complexity,...?
Apparently Zacks name was changed to Jack because LEGO found out about a competitor company called Zacks and lego did not want to associate their brand with the competitor
Wanted to leave a comment since that option might get disabled soon...
Really loved this episode, as always. Great job, Nick. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this passion project, and I'm pretty sure I learnt something new every episode.
Interesting that you should mention grandparents struggling to pick out sets for their kids - I work at a LEGO Store, and I do often see people getting overwhelmed. We always try and guide people to sets that seem right for them, and I like to think we get it right most of the time. We always have people coming in saying that when they were a kid it was just bricks, so of course I point them towards Classic.
It's interesting to be in the centre of a shifting landscape with new sets and themes emerging, but for a lot of people LEGO is still just bricks.
You were an inspiration to me, I hope you find success now
Too bad toy franchises aren't as big as they used to be. Nick would be a great pick as a writer for some nice toy themed story.
Or maybe I just want some action figures based on Planet Ripple. Who knows.
@@kompuglobalhypermega that would be good
It saddens me that that this series is ending, but I wanna save the thanking for episode 40.
Could you imagine how expensive some of those older sets are now?
Good thing we have parents who can give us their old lego
I remember seeing a book about buying lego sets and storing them for later reselling. It even included a price guide for sets.
@@Curlyheart no
We need another release of the legends line. And they need to include some bionicle G1 sets.
Larnuu Works if its at a competitive price I would be buying them all
5:42
I'd like to imagine someone using these figures to reenact the dinner scene from Nightmare on Elm Street 5.
And using the intro music from that one AVGN episode.
" _Bon appetit_ , bitch."
5:11 Oh my god!! I always wondered why me and my brothers had these weird armless minifigures and that long American flag!
Even the “Rangers” sign.
Though the “Texas” was probably lost by my mom ages ago!
Damn... memories....
... to be honest one of the things driving me is to one day give my Lego collection away to preferably my own children..
I really can't help but laugh at that final commercial, I honestly thought that kid would walk over with his bat and break the plane the two kids were making. On another subject, I'm really excited for the last 2 episodes, it's annoying how it has to be rushed because UA-cam shot themselves in the foot, but you can guarantee I'll still watch your videos, this series has evolved into something so much greater since those first four episodes, and I'm so happy to have been a part of it since the start.
What a great video. Its amazing to look back to the simplest of times, where everything could be made using only cubes and imagination.
Who, in the 60', could even dream about something like Bionicle?
Who could have predicted that there would be a website where you could buy each individual part from sellers around the world?
Which kid would guess that in 6 decades, that LEGO fans would be so fascinated about the old times and watch a streaming platform that would cover their childhood carefree days?
We live in amazing times. Let's take a moment to appreciate that we have such incredible intellectual and mental wealth. That we have a thing that connects us to one another, called LEGO.
I hope we could continue to share our stories on this channel, in any way, even after the new UA-cam policies would be applied .
The cannister gag had me laughing
LEGO Rewind are the best videos for LEGO nostalgia.
The moment the 80-90's box covers started to appear, it was like someone fired a cannonball into my nostalgia.
I remember reading a magazine for lego I got as a kid back in 1994-1995 and somehow it survived all that time.
I used to look at all the sets and imagined playing with them, even though I couldn't afford them. Yeah, it was sad but it taught me of all the different brick and baseplates.
One memory was when lego racers was out on pc and I played the demo; while it installed I looked through the magazine, it really took me back. I really wish lego went back and re-released some of the sets more; although more tweaked to todays standards. Like cowboys and bandits than tribal natives.
You can still find that same magazine as a .pdf on the internet. The moment the space page opens, you better hold your seat! All those neon-green, orange and white peices would blow you away back then.
"bricks may not even be made of plastic anymore" well you see carbon fiber bricks for the speedchampions line might be a good thing for the realism of the cars
I love LEGO and it's endless possibilities with kids and adults building with their creative imagination, I'm going to miss LEGO Rewind.
I kinda felt moved by the ending of video, being someone who has followed LEGO since childhood.
This is probably a reference I don't get,but the music sounds as if this is a movie and it's about to end.
Oh,right
Year was 1994 and Lego was my folks' solution to thing to do in crafts class in elementary school, and god bless!
Very well done. I've been playing with Lego since around 1969 and have memories of buying or receiving as gifts some of those classic sets you pictured. I specifically remember getting the 347 fire station and the 390 hobby car. I wasn't good about keeping sets together. All the parts just got tossed into a bin together. I never had a 'dark age' so most of those pieces are still lurking somewhere among the dozen ten gallon bins of unsorted parts I have.
Hearth shattering finale. Prehistoric Légo will be always missed. Great epilogue for a concise series.
Oh, this isn't the finale. There're two episodes left.
I've been building with bricks since I was 2 and never looked back. I don't want my kid to grow up any other way, no matter what happens. Lego is life.
Good job Nick. The writing at the end of this episode was stellar. I'm sad a giant corporation is here to silence a lovely place of UA-cam - these comment sections.
To be fair, comment sections are only worth reading with very specific video's like this. Usually, they're just full of angry people.
@@kevinm5940 yeah, that's what i meant. This comment sections feels wonderful, others are just filled with hate
This makes me want to watch a Lego version of Antiques Roadshow
bruh, we used to have lego dacta in my class, back in 2004. Crazy to know how long that set lasted
4:00 $7 for a table or chair!?! you can't even get a spoon for that price nowadays!
It's 'folding furniture', so it's not something you'd use long-term and more something you'd buy for an event or something.
Love the music in the background
The tracks are "Theme of Silent Hill 2," "Leave Ending" and "Maria Ending." It's some of my favorite music in any game.
LEGO just celebrated their 25 years in Mexico and I feel nostalgia buying my first set in 2006
2:51 I KNEW IT, YOU'RE THE CHAMBERLAIN FROM THE DARK CRYSTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Innoventions super quiplash
I remember seeing some of the 80s-looking lego sets still lingering in day cares during the 90s.
5:40
"They're so cute when they're duplo"-Homer Simpson
Now that I think about it, are these oddballs the baby boomers of the lego universe? Do they say racist or homophobic things at thanksgiving dinner, and make it awkward for the rest of the family?
That flash of the Chamberlain made me very happy
Not only did I rate the canister bionicle reference, the Dark Crystle skesies noise was even better
I've actually seen some of these old lego ads, such as Zack the Lego maniac (featuring the SONG), and the famous inventors series of ads. My Lego Network, (if anyone remembers that) had a small section with a video player. The pay included a bunch of tutorials for MLN, as well as several lego ads from over the years, The most recent being the Toa Mahri video from 2007, featuring the song, "crashed". You have no idea how many of these I watched over, and over. They had the classic ad featuring a couple of pirates assembling themselves out of bricks, various Bionicle ads, as well as the ones I mentioned earlier, and more that I can't remember.
Honestly I love the minecraft legos because that have that simple look to them that make me thinks of the sets I grew up with in the 90s
Seeing that 2x2 blue brick in the intro was ominous as hell.
9:56 this mad lad is just straight up wearing climbing shoes
Hey I'm 13 so you got a child watching your videos and I like these vintage legos simple but I find them nice (especially the way the brick are set up in the boxes),also hopefully I can see the advancement they'll make for lego in the future
Been loving ya vids for a long time man. Keep it up!
Old ads always have a nice charm to them.
2:50 I appreciate the Dark Crystal reference.
you and jangbricks have renewed my love for lego
your horror skit idea is actually brilliant
Nick: _"Some of those sets were in canisters, hmmMm"_
*throws in a bionicle and a dark crystal reference
"its time I make my move" ~~~~~THE CHAMBERLAIN
I remeber we used to us that the old brick separator as a door stop it makes me gag ever time I remember
The "Curse Word" was removed on the reupload to the LEGO Channel. On the Lego Club channel it remains. Or It may be the other way around I'm not sure. They dub it over and its so bad :D
Funny enough, I'm not old enough to drink, But I love the just bricks sets, and I would love if lego could bring those old 70's sets, that black boat looks outstanding, and the classic cars are something to write home about.
I actually have one of those older brick separators! They have a lot of leverage and are great for separating plates, although they can't fit in to smaller places like the new one. I remember they used to have to be bought separately instead of being included in every larger set.
"It's alright, they can't hurt you."
5:49
*1:05** hey guys look it's Just2Good building with Lego again!*
5:50 The kid on the box looks terrifying. Like this is a scene from a live action Attack on Titan
i love lego systems i think its some of the best lego has ever had i wish they would rerelease old sets like that again like they did that hot rod which i have
This is one of mi favorite episodes. What a great video.
God damn when you show those old sets i remeber quite a bit of them. My father had not only a suitcase full of LEGO from my grandfather but also some instructions and even a catalouge from those days. Dont know where it is now but i still remember that there was a doublepage of a trainstation.
Oh just to clearify im talking about LEGO from the doll-era of minifigs. I still have the blue baseplate you show 5:10 we used it for harbours in later days.
A salute to this series and everything it's recapped and stands for. Thank you, Nick, for making this blessing. Even as UA-cam is failing slowly, I hope you know how much this simple video series means to people.
One of your funniest episodes yet, mate x
I been waiting for this one a long time ago. Thanks Nick!!
I love your content Nick i ve learn a lot from your lego rewind and i like your channel very much
I had a lot of those pieces and sets when I was a kid. Most of which where had me downs and still have them now.
I like the lego minifigs in a slightly scaled up world with the basic smiley face
Great video as always Nick. Really loved how it ended, pondering what Lego might be like in the future.
Easily one of the best episodes
the other day I managed to get set #205 from an old lady at a garage sale who said that it was hers growing up back in the 1960s :)
that reaction at 3:44 is comedy gold. 20/20 sir nick
Here before youtube screws over this channel and every other lego related channel
"Yeah you thought speed champions was the first thing to accurately recreate real life cars?"
2004 Racer's Ferrari Subtheme and Technic: *depression*
I love these videos because I grew up with LEGO right before and in the golden age of the Internet as a 2001 baby. I cried when I read bionicle was ending in my LEGO magazine because I wasn’t really aware of all the workings. So going back and watching these to understand all of the series I would recognize and maybe have a set or three from is super cool
Nice video! Definetely watched it all
The slogan for lego should just be “everything for everyone”
Lego or Samsonite should bring Samsonite Legos back into production.
You showed an edit of the Chamberlain and now I want a Lego Dark Crystal theme
Hey Nick I know this probably might be the final episode of Lego rewind but hey thank you for giving us this journey now I know more about Lego and how it became the company that we all know and love Insta learn that many of these themes that we wish existed but never did but thank you cuz you describe the love of life that I like and thank you for covering the things that I love and hope you and I hope you have a good year and I hope next year doesn't became doesn't become a crappie or UA-cam or just get Insta learn that many of these themes that we wish existed but never did but thank you cuz you describe the love of life that I like and thank you for covering the things that I love and hope you and I hope you have a good year and I I hope you have a good Thanksgiving and thank you Nick Planet Ripple for giving us this journey.
It’s all right, there are two episodes left.
I actually have one of those old brick seperators in gray. They were still using them into the 90s, don't remember what set I got it with but it was the only one I had for years. Now I have dozens of the newer one. Honestly the newer ones are more functional.
I like how he showed a split second of chamberlain when he said "HmmMmMMMmmmm"
lego had something with names that ended with ack jack, zack, and mack this make me want to make a video about lego's old commercials in a kind of way nick does i would just need his permission to use his kind of format
Go ahead.
Build well. Play well.
