12:00 I mean, Lego did equip their minifigures in the pirate theme with period-accurate weapons (muskets+flintlock pistols), and their wild west themes came with quite realistic-looking revolvers. Then of course there was the Indiana Jones license, where you got actual Nazis including weapons in official Lego sets. So there's quite a lot of accurate Lego weaponry floating around the used market.
The Lego Indiana Jones sets didn't have any new or unique firearms though. With the exception of the "Jungle Cutter" set, which has some kind of chunky handgun that the Soviet officer gets.
Technically, they weren't "actual" Nazis. The comics LEGO packaged with them made them generic bad guys who were ambiguously German. So there was a loophole that LEGO wasn't recreating Nazi stuff, they were making original stuff that just so happened to look like Nazi stuff from the movies. Or something like that.
I think the reasoning behind the historical ones were just that: They're historical depictions of old, clunky stuff that isn't used anymore. Star Wars are fantastical sci-fi. While Batman uses cartoony blocky ones, of which the Indiana Jones ones were based off of.
😂🤣😂 He stole my pick-up line!! Yep, I said pick-up line. I introduce myself to strange women by suggesting that I'm about to strip naked right then and there. 🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂️
They had to change the name in China. It's called "Game for Peace". And it is the mobile version that is the most popular. Mobile gaming is HUGE here. My first year here, there was a huge game competition at a local mall for a game I had never heard of. It was a mobile game. All these gamers were in the mall competiting on their phones. They did have a huge screen where they could show the audience what was going on. It was weird.
12:00 LEGO broke the "no warfare/ depictions of contemporary wars" a bunch of times, mostly with Franchise sets like the Indiana Jones series and the Lone Ranger film (remake).
LEGO seem to have revised their stance a number of times over the years. First it was "no weapons". Then it was "no weapons, except for lasers in space sets." Then it was "no weapons, except for lasers in space sets; or muskets, pistols and cannons in pirate sets." Then it was "no weapons, unless we think we can make some cash from selling licensed sets that involve weapons".
You should check out the BrickArms company, they make a bunch of Lego scale weapons and are what some of the weapons in these sets are knock off versions of.
Lego DID use to make some pretty convincing guns for their Batman line. A pistol and a sub machine gun. they dont really directly resemble any specific real life firearm, but they are clearly meant to be real guns.
Those sides on a crate are such a basic thing that's actually incredibly easy to fix. if you put two plates under a brick the hight of that stack is the same as 2 studs so that way plates can be aligned to the bottom of the build and for structure you can just use a brick with studs on two adjecent sides and stack two of those structures on top of eachother
Lego does have some real world guns, or used to. In the western and adventure (off-brand Indiana Jones) sets you got rifles and revolvers that could pass for modern weapons
It does make me wonder if there were knock off versions of Mechano back in yee old days. I used to play with a 50's set back at my grandparents. Unfortunately they threw it it out around 2015 before I could nab it to use for Warhammer 40k terrain D: Same with Kineks or Lego Technic. Technic knock offs would be a challenge due to the mechanical nature of the kits :D
Yes, there is knock off Mechano. There is a Czech brand that got pretty big (don't think they're around still) although they weren't quite the same quality. Me and my sister got some of that stuff when we were little. And then you have Märklin's version which was very high quality and had every elaborate gear systems. And then you have modern Mechano which is largely crap plastic and feels like a knock off because the quality isn't up to par.
Before lego technic, there was Fischer Technic, in the '80s it was used in schools for teaching Design etc. It wouldn't suprise me if lego absorbed them or ripped them off, indeed as I remember the way it was made is exactly the same.
There are ripoff Technic sets. The ones that ripoff Lego sets directly are crap, but the original off-brand sets I'm not sure of (though they do real RC tanks and stuff which Lego never would).
@@trevorhaddox6884 I think I saw them at Tankfest 2017? Either way they were awesome kits :D They also had RC tanks that used IR lasers to detect when they were hit.
Worst bit? Thats a direct rip of a lego piece, molding and all. Parts 30239 and 10884. (The only difference between the two is an updated strengthened clip.)
Generally, you don't see cloth and rubber bands, but it's not unheard of. Some of the Technic action figures used rubber bands and there's been one or a few who used a cloth cape, so yeah.
Lego does have quite as few realistic guns But they're mostly older designs Their rule is more of avoiding military or war. They even made extra accurate revolvers for lone ranger sets
Actually saw some even more blatant fake lego pubg figures, original logo and all, in a street shop in greece recently, they also sold fake minecraft and ninjago sets. Picked up a minecraft set for the fun of it, and discovered the boxes were actually stapeled on to cardboard holders, not dodgy at all...
The fake sets you can get in Asia that are the same instructions as the real ones are actually supprisingly well made. I've got the big millennium falcon for 120 quid instead of 800 and there we're only about 2 missing pieces. i also got 4 other sets by similar companies (small millennium flacon, imperial cruiser, x-wing and tie fighter). my imperial cruiser was the worst out of them all, half of the bridge was missing but that was a different company to all the others.
Impressive, the logo on that first set manages to avoid copyright infringement for one thing by ripping off TWO things at once instead. That Battlefield logo is straight up the logo for the EA FPS series of the same name right?
Lego has released an official spreadsheet with every intellectual property they've gotten fan requests to make official sets for, alongside with a yes/no status and motivation for why anything no'd was rejected. There's quite a bit of unintentional hilarity in both the suggestions and reasons some of them got rejected.
sorted why people don't do this anymore. this video has been in my feed for a week because i didn't want to watch it. it's the only ashens video, and it's always in my feed. daily videos are sorted by the algorithm and need to be watched sequentially, or your channel will not be interacted with. literally i'm going to have to click through this entire week if i ever want to see ashens content again lol
If I'm not mistaken, the hood the character is wearing on the second boxes artwork is the Emperor Palpatine Lego figure hood, presumably just copied wholesale from a legitimate set

How did he not mention that the business lady PUBG figure ABSOLUTELY looks naked from the waist down 😅
Do you not attend business meetings naked from the waist down?
She had something on the front but it looks like they just straight up didn't painting the back

Silent credits doubly so.
It's like a creepy pasta. Ashens.exe
That 'lego' rifle is actually quite a well modelled AK, as is the RPG
I can tell you it's not unique to this set. tons of companies make them.
The smaller one looks like a tech 9
And the steyr AUG he called a sniper rifle lol
I'm pretty sure that these were all initially sculpted by a small company called Brick Armory, then ruthlessly copied.
They look similar to (maybe knock offs of) brickarms

"818" should change its name to "0937" and insist all boxes be displayed upside down in shops.
Fun fact= Lego has made musket, and flintlock, and rare shotgun looking models
Western rifles ans revolvers too.
What's funny is lego will not make military legos, yet they make starwars legos
You should check out the BrickArms company, they make a bunch of Lego scale weapons and are what some of the weapons in these sets are knock off versions of.
Lego uses stickers for almost all custom lego bricks now. But then we have these knockoffs actually screening the prints onto each piece.
Hey, Lego my eggo
Well, cloth and rubberbands are things you don't see much of in lego anymore. They used to be reasonably common, back in my day lol.

11:53 They did realistic revolvers and rifles for the Indiana Jones sets, but I believe thats it
They look like bootleg brick arms and the other 3rd party accessories
they had muskets and muzzle loading pistols and stuff for the pirates line as well
and a tommy gun i belive
Lone Ranger sets kinda looked realistic with some of their revolvers.
"A can of Hot Bull." Which describes this set perfectly!
Lego DID use to make some pretty convincing guns for their Batman line. A pistol and a sub machine gun. they dont really directly resemble any specific real life firearm, but they are clearly meant to be real guns.
Whenever there is "PUBG" in an Ashens video title, I automatically think about that amazing "PUGB" correction video with the wooden frog.
Run the stick across the frog's back.
This is official LEGO on Earth-818 in the Multiverse.
Remember that time when PUBG crossed over with Angry Birds? For the Angry Birds Movie, they had real lego sets. It all goes full circle.
I live in China, can confirm PUBG is very big. So many cheap plastic guns have stolen PUBG art.
The intro and outro may have been silent, but I’m sure it was playing in our heads.
While this was a winner-winner chicken dinner, I smell a re-upload coming, since the intro and outro are [REDACTED]

Those sides on a crate are such a basic thing that's actually incredibly easy to fix. if you put two plates under a brick the hight of that stack is the same as 2 studs so that way plates can be aligned to the bottom of the build and for structure you can just use a brick with studs on two adjecent sides and stack two of those structures on top of eachother
The handgun the business lady has is based on a legit Lego mold as I got one with The Winter Soldier in one of the Civil War sets
