The Rise of R.R. Slugger & Late 90s LEGO 

Well this is a surprise! Thank you for the feature here! ❤️ I’m impressed with how in depth the research into the history of the channel went here - to my knowledge, you got it all bang on! If I can offer any thoughts on the growth my channel has seen, I think I’d remind folks that success can be measured in many ways, with views and subscriber count being only one metric. It’s important to do what makes you happy with your art, especially if it’s about niche topics like Rock Raiders or Time Cruisers! 😊

It's saying a lot that Lego hasn't even been on my radar for YEARS, and yet Slugger's content immediately captivated me. And I'm not even a big fan of Adventurers, Rock Raiders or Time Cruisers. Just great content overall.

Another thing that helped Slugger's channel is Solar Sands' video on him. Solar Sands is an extremely big RU-vidr who uploaded a video about Slugger on his second channel, after which his fans flooded to Slugger and resulted in a big rise in subs.

I love R.R Slugger! His videos are just nice to play in the background because of the nice and chill editing style. His stop motion skills are also great!

Easily the best LEGO RU-vidr currenty

I didn’t read this videos title properlyat first and I always gave myself a heart attack I thought R.R. Slugger had died

Hardest working man in all of Lego RU-vid

Few months ago I searched up something about Rock Raiders on youtube since my older brothers used to own it and I had great memories of it, one of Sluggers videos was recommended and I was instantly hooked. He single handedly revived my interest in LEGO and when he started doing the Adventurers I was overwhelmed with joy. I really haven't seen such quality and work put into youtube videos.

Tbh the slug is cute. Also he has great presentation skills.

The amount of quality he puts out with his seemingly strict self-imposed standards (which are definitely a positive for the videos individually and as a collection) is nothing short of impressive. Even outside my interest in Lego, it's a cool channel to watch just for how it all comes together as an art form.

I remember the slimy slugs on Ogel Island in Lego Island 2 all too well. They were a real nuisance! But anyways, thanks for suggesting this channel! I might look into it some time.

Slug got me into Rock Raiders! Ended up entering THAC with a rock raiders vid because of it lmao

I love this... I started following Slugger since his spike after the color video came out about neon orange and my mind was blown. He is a very unique breed of content creator which I hope to see more of in the future. Thank you for making a video that shines a light on content creators who can redefine "content" as a whole. We need more like Slugger and I hope I myself can have an idea that is as beautiful as his.

I was there before 200 subs! It's been great to watch Slugger's channel grow and him get the success he deserves, even if it intimidates him. All his videos are super high quality (even the goofy ones) and he covers a bunch of history that is super interesting. I love learning the ins and outs of those older Lego themes that people rarely talk about anymore.

His channel ranks pretty highly on the Slugometer, so it's no surprise that it's doing well.

I'm a big fan of R.R. Slugger and I loved the numbers breakdown here! It's inspiring for us LEGO content creators to hear about the journey from hundreds to thousands of subs. :)

The new PFP is perfect!

I love RR Slugger so much, we share so many opinions and focuses on LEGO he is like a kindred spirit to me. I was looking up Rock Raiders stuff on a lark and found him, I’m extremely glad I did. I will boost him as long as he makes videos, I will over share in comments and watch the videos over and over and over again, he’s the best.

Great new profile picture and glad to see you cover a remarkable LEGO video creator :)

The orient expedition series got me into his vids, need to go back and watch his old ones!
