These videos aren't really about them breaking rules, right? It's just printing errors; no rules being broken. I thought it would be about sets that use illegal connections or break LEGO's rules about sets.
I've seen many of the examples of LEGO rule-breaking. In nearly all of them, there is no issue. No rules broken; just users misinterpreting the instructions. The placement of the single stud brick onto the gear offered in the thumbnail is a good example. If one spends a few more seconds analyzing the image, it's clear that the the brick is meant to mirror the other single stud brick already in place, situating it behind and below the gear. It's not even a printing error. It's user error.
@@chimerasofhafgufa Look closer. The arrow is indicating the desired position of the brick; it's pointing to the void just visible beyond the gear. No riddle solving involved; just requires better observation skills.
4:43 i remember getting a sticker on a lego firetruck set perfectly put on, exactly dead center, and exactly straight, and i swear to god i did this, i remember how impressed i was with getting that sticker on like that
That's what I was thinking. I was expecting a list of Lego sets, that include weird and unusual constructions (for example builds, that puts stress on the pieces).
cool tip, if you place the star wars droid body on backwards you can then add a lightsaber beam piece, or fire piece to make it look like the droid got shot
@@lilbill7385 There is actually a section specifically for replacing pieces. Generally it's free and done, if you need a lot of peices (or maybe you abuse it) they may require a proof of purchase. Years ago, around 1998, there was a number you called, boy did I use it to get cool pieces from sets I didn't own. I did it for a while too, never got denied or charged.
Old polish catalogs were a gold mine for errors like those, especially in the translated set descriptions. My favourite one was propably the description for the original Slave 1 from 2000. It mentioned Jabba the Hutt and his name was translated as "Chata Jabba" which literally means "Jabba the hut". Hut, like a small house :x
There was once a few years back that my family bought a Christmas themed lego set for our lego Christmas village. And when we opened up the box we found out that bag (3 or 4) was missing from the box. So we returned it and apparently there was some sort of production error and apparently each and everyone of those sets had bags missing. Thankfully they got in a new shipment the day we went there to return it so we were able to pick up a new copy of the set. Good thing we have only had this happen once! 😅
The thing I hate about stickers are the ones which overlap multiple bricks. Makes it really difficult/annoying when demolition of something to build again.
On the 6:14 one, I think I know what happened: The top left set is correct, and has a reasonable price of $40, but the bottom right one is now a 4+ set, with an incredibly cheap price of $10. There is a juniors set smaller than this set but with a similar theme, so the catalog designers just put that image there because the set names were too alike. That’s just my thoughts.
I had an old Exo-Force set when I was a kid, and the cover to the instruction booklet was inverted from the rest of the pages. Probably just a simple case of the papers got flipped around during assembly, but still funny to remember.
The only 'incorrect set' I can personally remember is a walking AT-AT that my friend had been gifted. For whatever reason, an entire set of leg pieces was literally melted into a plastic blob. Not one whole blob, but several individual blobs. He couldn't ever finish the set because of this, as the replacement part service hadn't started yet or was poorly advertised, and ended up giving it to me since I had more Lego than he did. Heh.
11:49 the droid has a 2nd error. The left arm is "upside down". It doesn't really matter a lot but I guess the thicker end should be the shoulder as it is on the right arm.
Well actually it's just being more in a natural position, if you're holding something with your hand your wrist will be like 90° turned. I don't think this was an error
@@shitmanlore it's not about the turn of the "hand" on his right hand but about the thick end of the left arm. They habe the thick and as hand and the thin one as shoulder. There is no turn. ;-)
I've had this LEGO set that had a lot of mistakes! It was the LEGO movie 2 statue of liberty one and the art work on the box on the back shows you that the bottom floor has a coffee shop and the coffee shops floors are gray but when I open the box the floors and pieces are suddenly brown and I've seen videos talking about it to! Also on the instruction book there is an arrow that is just hanging there.... A Phantom Arrow!
Imagine being the editor at Lego and editing all these images. They think ah one small error, no one will notice. Then every little microscopic error you made gets published in a RU-vid video for everyone to see.
Lol “Double LEGO Set” I still have that catalog, actually looked up which one had the correct set pictured too, the one with the lower price was like a hotdog stand or something like that iirc
Also in the new 2020 lego Star Wars Final Duel set there is a mistake in the manual that shows Darth Vader without arm prints even tho the actual mini-figure does.
I think for the diver, the grey on his arm is like chain armor, like if you went diving with sharks you would wear some armor in case if a shark bites you. This is just what I think and I don’t know if it’s the true reason
Well for the Trolls World Tour chair note you can always go ahead and decide to The Lego Movie dad it up with some glue. I would recommend this but with people who want there real lego sets and not mix matched bionicles which are really cool and better than some official designs I would not. Also who would think that the video about things being wrong or missing something, missed something. The diver suit guy in the instructions has a scared face, but the one in the picture on the left had a confident face instead. Haha
It's not just the torso that's wrong in the instructions for building the battle droid in the Droid Gunship set. They also have you place the left arm upside down, with the thicker shoulder clip being portrayed as a hand for some reason.
I was building Lego sets since age of 5 and I am surprised that people find the old instructions "complex". As a young kid I had literally ZERO issues following these instructions. Moreover, when I got older and instructions were getting more and more (over)simplified, it got me angry once or twice, because building a set was more flipping pages than putting bricks... Please, let's not relief kids from thinking and solving problems, even as simple as putting bricks in slightly obscured spots in the model (steps like @10:50 are IMO 100% valid and should be used all the time in sets for kids of age 7-8+).
11:48 has another error. the droids arm that is bent a little is the wrong way and the part of the arm that has a little more detail should be connected to the body
11:49 Not only the torso is in the wrong orientation but one of the arms as well. It's upside down. The arm is attached by the hand and not the shoulder.
The lego 18+ crocodile train from 2020 instructions is very hard to follow due to the brown pieces on the black background. Please include this in part 4 if you are making a part 4
