I seriously regret taking apart all my modular buildings, winter village sets and creator 3 in 1 sets I received in my first few years I got into LEGO. I destroyed all those sets/have a bin now to learn and practice building MOC’s, but after watching this video, I’m totally motivated to rebuild them and stay optimistic at the same time! (You seriously did inspire me)
@@OptimisticBricks I built all my old childhood Star Wars sets. 2007 MTT, 2005 Duel on Mustafar, Clone Wars Gunship, etc. Brought back so much nostalgia.
I did this exact thing during lockdown, resurrecting around 45 sets over a two year period. Including Power Miners, Space Police, Star Wars and more. My proudest one was the 2008 Death Star, which was a dusty husk tucked away on my shelf. I took it apart, cleaned the parts, found what was missing (around 700 pieces) and put it back together. I have to say, I love my Lego shelf far more now that it encompasses my entire journey. (Though I did have to later part down some models for spacing reasons). It's totally worth the effort.
When I was little kid, I used The Bin as the punishment to my lego figures. Villans was transported in special dropship type thing, with a trapdoor, and when it would open... There was no hope for them.
I understand the annoyance and enjoyment of this, during Lockdown, me and my family did this for all 97 of my sets, all were broken and in 2 huge bins and 2 smaller ones. All of them now have a place on the shelves in my bedroom, it’s always fun to see people’s reactions to the Lego draping my room. It was a great family building task and ended being my favourite memory of Lockdown, love seeing others doing this as well. Thank you so much for reminding me of that time of light in such a dark time.
Yeah, it was great fun, took us 4 months in total because we had to order some new parts that had unfortunately been lost to the vacuum cleaner. Not sure 97 is record worthy, but it was a lot to do, especially some of the huge sets we had to build.
@@user-mx8fs6vc2kcuz the whole point of lego is to make ur own creations from the parts u have?💀 and most of ur get lego sets as gifts instead of buying them ourself
I used to do this in 2020, and honestly it was the best thing i did in my free time, brought back old sets i even frogot o owned, the nostalgia of holding them again!
I ABSOLUTELY regret taking apart my green lego cargo train that i got from 2018 now you motivated me and i can have it back together bc i still have the instructions imma go do that real quick
From my experience, a Rubbermaid Roughneck 10-gallon bin filled halfway is the best for Lego Storage, so the weight of the pieces don't damage the other pieces as much as if you use a bigger bin. And I have 3 bins dating back to the 80s (though it was 9.5-gallon Keepers from Rubbermaid, but still roughly the same size and shape as the roughnecks), and got 3 more recently. However, I will say, if you enjoy MOC Building, then having a few bins is a good idea!
5:46 I used to own that Anglerfish set. It was from the LEGO Atlantis series, and came with a small submersible, a Dual Faced professor minifigure, and an fish minifigure with a trident.
This guy looks familiar, almost like I've seen him on another channel where he does cool stuff with what I think was a yoyo, but I'm not sure I could be insane
I remember as a kid i had a knockoff police car. And for years i Hadn't thought of it so this video inspired ant remembered me that old lego set. So thanks♥️
I have like 18 different bins full of lego and i believe one of them is the tie defender, ive found a few old black wing pieces, that window piece, and one of the pieces used to attach the wings to the cockpit
I've been building legos in the bin for so long it takes me hours but I'm not stress at all because I can build any thing the technique in building in the bin is start with the frame then find the parts you need to fast when finding to reduce the minute you waste
I only buy sets to build them and destroy them, i add them to a massive box which is roughly the size of a bathtub and its 3 quarters full, i sit there for hours going through the whole thing to build creations of my own because when i am finished it feels more rewarding
3:37 really cool build! I’ve took a broken Lego Y-wing that I scraped for parts and turned it into my own fighter with retractable wings, bombs, 2 cockpits, and more
It is entertaining to see someone giving a second life to these Lego pieces. I feel really agreeable to see you resurrecting these classic Lego sets. Keep going and keep optimistic!
Awesome video. You should submit that drop ship to Lego ideas. My two favorite Hobbys have been started or rediscovered because of you (yoyoing and Lego) thank you.
Whilst the Bionicle and hero factory sets are all mixed into one box, mixing all the other Lego into one box i could never do. Still have all in their dedicated boxes with instructions and majority besides my most recent ones that haven't got around too, in some order after each disassembly; all correct pieces in their correct boxes
AT THE TIME STAMP 8:10 THE DISH PEICE IN THE SECOND BIN IN THE BOTOM THERE IS THE BIG PRINTED DISH PEICE THE THATS FROM THE CORPERATE ALLIANCE TANK it would be cool if you rebuilt that set too
Hey could you a instructions video on your drop ship,it looks...looked really good,I would get it if it were a real Lego set,any chance you put it on Lego ideas?
The drop ship was definitely the best custom build I’ve seen we definitely need instructions on how to make it because if I got the pieces i so am. Also during at the moment of you having to destroy the drop ship i kept saying the whole time “buy the pieces on brick link buy the pieces on brick link” just over and over again.
I have been rebuilding childhood LEGO sets from my LEGO collection (bin), and this what I’ve found, crook pursuit: city (2014), police dog unit: city (2014 and many more. Hopefully I can rebuild more in the future.
Bro that’s so cool finding all your old sets but I have like maybe 6 to 8 times that in the bin! It would take months to rebuild a small chunk of them😢 but you have actually inspired me to try and rebuild some of my childhood sets so thanks for the inspiration I would never of gotten otherwise😊
I had a lot of lego ninjago sets when i was younger and some got broken bc of my arguing with my brother and breaking my sets. Only some now stay intact in the attic or in the bin. R.I.P my $80 ninjago dojo set. It was my favourite
