Sometimes LEGO sets can be tricky to take apart, but other times LEGO sets are impossible to take apart. LEGO Technic has some examples of this, and some combinations of LEGO bricks make it impossible to take the set apart once you build it! Let’s explore multiple examples of the most difficult LEGO structures to take apart - including some that are complete dead ends. These dead end builds have no way to disassemble them once you assemble them.

Wild that Lego heard people complain about how hard it is to take apart the AT-AT and they pretty much just said "L + Skill Issue"
Why would you even want to take a set apart anyway?
@@rodimussupreme2329to reuse the pieces to make your own builds, obviously.
@@rodimussupreme2329 This is probably Lego's initial reaction.
@@Mobtrapper-hq8is But then why would you buy a €500 set for a few pieces? It's cheaper to order individual pieces that you need
@@jasonkeane133 it’s not always an instant thing. Usually I don’t start taking my sets apart until a year or 2 after I buy them.
The Bionicle head was so infamous that when someone posted on the Bionicle subreddit that the poster was able to take it apart no one believed them and demanded video proof. When the proof was provided the entire sub was shaken to it's core.
Hold on you guys had problems taking apart the bionicle heads?
@@Quario right, i remember doing it as a kid. though i will not denie that it was a pain to do so.
Used to do it by using a butter knife. It wasn't that hard just needed a little wiggling and out it popped. Didn't have internet back then.
I took mine apart with my teeth a couple times when I was 3. I stopped after I realized I was damaging the piece. I still used my teeth to take apart the rest of it though because it took much less force. Still more force than my little fingers could handle though.
Honestly, I've done it before only using a brick separator, and I don't believe it caused any damage. I think it's only considered difficult because there were less tools and proven means of separating the two back when the topic was popular
I recently got myself a set that is kind of the opposite of this video's theme. Set 60385, Construction Digger, instructs you to build a small, warn down, and semi unstable bench and then the next step basically instructs you to demolish it before constructing a new, eco-friendly bench. I found it both intriguing and genious that Lego, a company all about building, purposefully created this set just so part of it could be deconstructed. It makes me wonder if there are other sets out there with a similar theme of deconstruction.
I remember Fabuland sets did that too, as a way to show alternate builds within the storybook narrative their instructions had.
There is a car set that has you build up a couple of steps to help align part of the mechanism, and then remove those parts later and break down the sub assembly
@@pobvic i've seen that in quite a few sets actually
5:19 and then there's the guy that managed to separate 2×2 with hands covered in oil and without using nails

I have dented brick separators trying to get 2 2x2 plates apart💀💀💀
That’s why you use the stud part lol.
I feel so validated right now
I have also done that
Bruh, how?
Use your fingernails
7:43 "Incredibly fine-tipped pliers" No, those are not pliers, they are flush-cut wire cutters. The only way to get a grip with them is for then to cut into the material slightly, with the resulting friction from the cut pressing against the sides of the blade providing the grip for removal. With all the talk of "illegal building techniques," this is a perfect example of an "illegal disassembly technique," as it is damaging the part to remove it.
They're often referred to as sprue cutters, since they're not just used for trimming wires: they're in most model makers' tool boxes for cutting parts cleanly off plastic sprues. I imagine that's just where the guy in the video got his. Heck, the most popular result for sprue cutters on Amazon looks exactly like them.
They're specifically Bandai Model Builder Entry-Grade nippers.
Using any tool but your hands, finger nails, and teeth, should be illegal.
@@MegaLokopousing teeth should be illegal
@@kentlab3850 Why? if you do it right no parts are damaged.
Little Cousins: Do you really want to challenge Me?

Honnest trick that works for me: Get a set of entomology tweezers, about 15-20$, these are usually used to move insect legs and body parts to mount them in displays. These have needle-thin tips that can fit in the space between a cross-shaped axle and the part it's in around the base or in the dips of the cross if it's in a round hole. They are bad at prying things since they are so thin as to be fragile but you can still get enough force through them to dig into lego plastic if you are not delicate enough with them.
On a similar vain I have a pair of blunt round fine surgical forceps/ tweezers that are like $5 that work wonders since they’re flat and blunt so I won’t scratch the bricks, but they’re great at prying and can fit in those cross sections
''That you can't'' and ''That you can't easily'' is totaly different
8:36 EXTREMELY SIMPLE just push out the gray pins
I was thinking the same thing, ironically the box seems to be the easiest just by using another axel or the axel on the brick separator to push out each of the 7 long gray axels. Unless I’m missing something that can’t be seen in the picture
I was about to comment the same thing.
It's pretty simple actually, yet very clever
Its a dice actually..
Do you REALLY think you’re the only person whose thought of this?
8:43 Aren't those just 7L axles connecting things? Then it's just a matter of taking another axle and push the 7L axles out. Seems easy...
My exact thought. It looks extremely easy to take apart. Even just using a brick separator would work for that.
Even easier. The only thing holding the faces of the cube together is the ends of those axle pieces, in round holes. That cube should just fall apart if you spin it.
@@Pystro Everything is cross-locked with those 7L axles so it won't fall apart, but it will be easy to disassmble
@@rc-fannl7364 You're right. Didn't see that the frames keep those ends of the axles in place.
I don't think it's meant to be an impossible build. It just looks like a d6 playing dice to me.
3:40 Meet the Heavy
Those arent fine tipped pliers, they're plastic cutters. That man is walking the razor thin line between not holding it hard enough to actually grip the piece and holding it too hard resulting in a broken piece.
I regularly would remove the Bionicle eyes from the head. Just need a small flat head screwdriver. Slide it in between the two parts and twist.
You can do this with a brick separator as well. I work at a Bionicle Bricklink store and I've removed thousands of them haha.
the bionicle heads are actually effortless to take apart if you just use two axles and push the brain stalk out through the mouth axle
Yep and if you're planning to use a surface, either a bed or carpet/rug
Both comments are exactly what I used to do with the 2015 models
The only time I tried to do it o broke an axel inside a turaga headpiece :'(
@@holkan9898 Don’t use an axel piece only for the brainstalk
Used to do it by using a butter knife. It wasn't that hard just needed a little wiggling and out it popped. Didn't have internet back then.
Wiggle it in between the two parts and out it popped with no damage.
Here's how you take them apart.
*Chucks them in the plastic recycling machine.*
I think the hypothetical tool that could work on many of these would be a specialized version on pliers to extract axle pieces, don’t know how to explain the shape but something that slides in the extra space and grabs onto the axle.
7:11 I'm pretty sure the brown pins are easier to slide in as both pins can be rotated in a way that they make room for each other (just like gears gripping each other). That should be enough to let the second one slide in with some friction.
I'm pretty sure I made that by accident once and was able to take it apart by bending them past each other
1:17 you can take out the pin and then rotate it
How is rotating gonna help you? It won't prevent the red connectors from bending...
@@maartnnn0507 not the technic piece
The red pins and red connector is a ridig form, I though the same thing until I realized they would still be stuck, you could force it and it would probably be fine, but it could damage some of the pieces
Came to comment on this similar idea.
What you want to do is remove the gray pin on the left side. Once that is out, you can use the brick separator to push the black pin out on the right. Then the whole thing will come out.
@vpustote you can't push the black pin out, it's got a lip between both pieces
some of these are nightmare fuel
Stressing me out looking at them
There are a few techniques to get the eyes out of the original bionicle heads, some of which are only slightly damaging or dangerous
Let me tell you something, I don't care how hard it is to separate them, recently I got various Star Wars sets and the bricks barely stayed together, Lego needs to get it together
1:15 I don't understand.....what's stopping you from pulling the gray parts and then separating black ones🤷
Yeah like you just need to remove the two L-shaped pieces from the rectangular frame and then it’s easy. Seems like a skill issue to be honest.
Because there's only one grey pin in that, the other side is a black pin
just push out the black pin with a toothpick
@@tomasagostinho7443 No you can’t because the black pin can’t be pushed all the way
8:31
Petition to call this "The Gordian Brick"
4:21 this was my nightmare as kid💀, glad that i have brick separator now😁
7:28
Stress relief 😌
Best grip strength training routine is separating 2x1 lego plates by hand, no nails.
4:43 four brick seperators lmao
Yay new video
I love your videos
I just look at the thumbnail and think, "That build is impossible to PUT TOGETHER let alone take it apart."
It took me a minute to see it but it is possible to put together, adding the axles on one side last but it definitely is impossible to take apart
@@Nnobles170 It's technically possible with the design as shown, with the use of a needle to push on the axles through the side slits of the pieces they slide through, but it's probably impossible without damaging the pieces. And could be entirely impossible to safely disassemble if some other design of pieces is used that doesn't give such emergency access to the sides of the axles.
I retract this comment. It's stupidly simple to just stick in all 8 axles as the last step to put this together.
Ok I'm aborting the idea this was physically impossible. Back to the anxiety of getting so many pieces stuck together over a few sloted-in axles!
I know, I had the same initial thought that "if it's impossible to take apart, how did they even put it together?" The answer is almost always a short axle that is left flush on the outside, with nothing to grip (precision pliers notwithstanding) to disassemble it by.
All you need is a extra long pin to push out the others. Works every time.
0:22 you can take that apart, but It would just take some errort. You would have to loosen up all the connections, then take one of the technic pins out of the main blue axel. After that further loosen up both red beams on the side you removed grey beam from. Then remove the grey beam on the bottom (this time it shoukd be easier than the first). Once both grey beams are removed on a side it will be easy to take appart the rest.
Lego bricks aren't rigged they have some flexibility. Especially techinc beams. Most likely you will warp a technic pin by taking this apart, but they're also easy to warp back.
4:02 the Bohrok head peice one *is* doable but it sucks. I made this mistake years ago, and you can remove the peice but it requires putting a lot of preasure to kinda bend the Axel to the side and force it out. the Technic axle connector peice is probably the worst one to have in there as well as it has the least flex. For gods sake dont do this by accident, use 3-long axles please.
Who would win?
An impossible to separate lego brick contraption

Dropping it on the floor
I find it funny calling the Bionicle heads the most un-separatable because I'd never try to take apart the first assembly shown, but I've taken those heads apart without much issue.
My teeth are the ultimate brick separators
4:38 I've seen a dude wet his fingers and take a 2×2 apart, also without nails might I add
Dapz
You met the real jesus Christ that day
With the right tools, none of these were impossible to take apart. Even without damaging them.
1:14 as an owner of that set, I do know one way if you don't mind possibly sacrificing that black pin.
8:43 that cube isn't as bad as it looks. push the 7m axles out slightly with another axle, then pull it out. the red bushings will fall out, so I'd suggest disassembling it over your lego bins.
Amazing video and somehow hard to watch, like it made me a bit uneasy to know of these impossible to disassemble situations, after having played with Lego for so long lol.
Shout out to the antenna pieces.
Resolving these problems is like the Pickle Jar Lid.
for the 2 by 2 flat bricks stuck together, my way of doing it is to take a verry verry verry sharp knife and manage to snipe the 0.001mm gap at the corner and slip the knife edge into it to get more separation
Some Lego pieces never need to be taken apart. The 6 stud shooter is one of them. You can't do anything else with these 2 pieces except put them back together.
8:42 that's a six sided die!
Okay for the real OG Bionicle example you showed, it is not impossible without damaging the bricks. You need a very small flathead screwdriver and from memory, you use it at the top, close to the eyebrows.
If you can't take apart a set, give it to a kid. It'll be nothing larger than 3 pieces connected by the end
I've never had much of an issue with 2x2 plates, and I did take 2 older ones from the 1980s, as well as 2 newer ones from recent sets (since I've heard that older Lego tends to be stiffer) and got both apart in less than a minute each. Slight twisting and then fingernail.
Also, while messing around I just put 10 2x2 plates together in a Star Pattern!
If I can't take it apart that's kinda nice actually. I've glued Legos with no regrets because I was tired of a structurally unsound part constantly coming off.
Time to make a cube with these techniques and hide a birthday present inside.
The first one after you remove the grey technic pin you can rotate that entire assembly and remove the L beam that had the grey technic pin in it. Then it all come apart easily
I lost a *tooth* seperating two 2x2 flats as a kid.
Those plastic toothpicks with the floss on one end are great for separating small plates and tiles. Work the floss in between the plates and twist/pull. It really works.
If you can assemble it without breaking Lego laws then you can also disassemble it without any issue
The 1x1 square piece on a 1x1 round is my nightmare
How many pieces have I lost this way
What I'm seeing here is, for someone enterprising and clever, there's a niche there that's extremely small, but might generate sales for a "trouble spot disassembly" tool kit. That creates a way to take apart some of those technic pin combinations without damaging the pieces. I have to admit, my inclination would be to warm the pieces in hot water, and then spray compressed air into the holes where the pins are, in the hope I'd get enough difference of temperature to reduce the friction by using natural part expansion and contraction as a result of temperature, then using a tool to grip the pin and pull it out.
YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY 4-YEAR OLD COUSIN'S ABILITIES
Oh, & for that first one, you just get another one of those stick thingies & push it through & out
5:41 best part😊
Nobody cares
Those are just 7L axels. They don’t have those wide rims that keep them from being pushed 1 way a certain distance like some other technic connectors. All you need is something (most likely yet another technic connector or rod) to push them out the other side and it’ll come apart easily.
By far
@@Mobtrapper-hq8isreplied to the wrong comment
@@dustyyshellz1320 we’re both looking at the giant grey cube, aren’t we?
:40
Step 62 demonstrates how this is not a dead end.
The gray technic pin can be removed if installed correctly. The red pins have a spot in them, that allows extra flex, a measurement and a disassembly tool pry point. You would place the wedge between the L beam and the red element to force the pieces apart, then get the wedge tool into the groove. Pushing the L beam back would then expose the opposite groove
A thin flathead screwdriver would completly annihilate these structures
Not without damaging the pieces
3:19 omg it worked! Thank you brickbuilder0937!! I wanted to make a black and yellow shooter for the blacktron but the yellow part was stuck in a gray shooter. Also to separate same sized plates stuck just put an old style separator under and a new separator on top. The different angle makes it work better
The fine "pliers" at 7:45 is actually a flush cutter and yes that means you're putting a blade into those pins. Those pins are numerous though and probably cheap to replace in quantity.
The cube structure at the end seems quite simple in construction and deconstruction. During construction, the builder build panels on the side, then connect them by pushing technic axles through the corners of the frames. To disassemble it, you just need to push the axles out using another axle.
The base for the Lego Minecraft Modern Tree House was impossible for me to take apart. This could use a part 2 for sure.
I might suggest for some of those "impossible to disassemble" assemblies a pair of snap-ring pliers and some finesse.
Leg joints parts from tallneck set are incredible hard to separate from each other. This joint pice incorporates a ball and its socket and when you connect them together, they are practically fused near permanent.
All you have to do to detach them is to throw the legos on the floor harder than you meat when your looking at something incredibly sus
Wait, people disassemble their Legos? They don't leave them assembled forever? Strange.
I have managed once to pull out one of axels by using a strong glue that can get washed with water. Althought it is a bit risky as you can glue it to the thing its attached to.
Do a all Spiderman sets video or other superheros or a lego series
i simply just eat the dead-end build, entire structure
8:33 I think that might not be a dead end. The axles look like they go all the way through.
Not being able to Disassemble 6-Stud Shooters is a Skill Issue. All you need is a long Gray Technic axle with a cap, and then you slot it in with the cap on the back. Then, enough pressure either pushing or pulling the axle will easily pop it out
There are alot of methods you can try with physics to take apart impossible builds. If you can see the small pin you can probably use small pliers as in the video. But hammer removing pins can probably also be done with the same method as you remove bearing races from it's press down seating. Cannot confirm it but it should be possible. Compressed air is also a viable option to explore
If the only way you can disassemble these is by breaking them and putting stress on them, these should be illegal techniques.
The first one is easy, pull out the grey pin, rotate the whole group of pieces on the other angle, giving you clearance to wiggle out one of the l-pieces, and from there you can easily dismantle the rest
fun fact, bluebrixx has a set with 21500 pieces (south manhattan), dwarfing the world map by nearly double the brick part especially when counting in that they use more than 1x1 round plates
You can remove the pin in the exoforce set with a tiny pair of forceps. You might mar up the end of the pin a little bit if you’re not careful. It would have been better if Lego used a red 1x2 hose piece so you could push the pin all the way in and pull the hose out.
7:40 those are flush cutters. A common tool in 3d printing - while it doesn't generate any flush, you do need to manhandle the support columns to separate them from the model.
The two 2x2 plates is the most annoying thing to separate
PROOT
1:38 remove the gray axle pin and rotate the connected “L” shaped pieces 90 degrees counter clockwise and it comes apart very easily.
Their rotation is locked together
How would that work? It seems like people are just liking your comment without understanding what would happen. If you rotate the Ls, the Ls would still be blocked by the square frame since both Ls are rotating together. The left L is going to mimic the right L. Help me understand.
4:03 shows a literally impossible to separate combo (seriously cannot be done without part damage) then proceeds to go on a rant about separating plates, which is trivialized by brick separators.
And the Bionicle eye stalks are SUPER easy actually, in 2 ways..... 1 is a simple butter knife, (or the brick separators) but a more clever and less abrasive way is to attatch a technic extension to the stalk, then use an axle to push through the mouth
no plastic could dream of beating an explosive
me: hammer
also me: balcony
Man, I saw the title and immediately thought of that Exo Force combination model... The thing was sick, but that one step was always painful to me :')
The worst part it when those 2x4 plates stacked together are the old brown 2x4, yup you're finished. Imma leave like that forever
You can get atomic energy with the force required to separate 2 flat bricks from each other without tools.
The bionicle head stalks are really hard to get out, but you just push a brick separater inbetween the head and the trans piece
I had to take apart the at-at. Ended up using a power drill with the smallest drill bit i could find and drilled the post slowly until i had grip to pull it out. It worked perfectly.
When i was young, I tried to make a scoll-like thing for my ninjago, so I placed 2 technic-to-studs pieces on both end of a tube piece. They are fover stuck together no matter how hard I tried to seperate them.
You can pull out the axles with a thick sewing needle, by stabbing the axle at about 45° and levering it out. Sure, there is a little damage, but a lot less than with wire cutters. The cube can easily be opened by pushing out the axles with other larger axles. It is the same as 4:22, just a lot more of it.
I have a special pair of flat tweezers I took from my mom’s car and it can get even those flush technic pins out like a dream with 0 damage, it’s like witchcraft
0:18 you see those slits on the sides of the red pieces? I would try to fit something in there to try and inch out the cross bars
That is the only possible way of disassembly!
A very pointy knife or needle, and a lot of patience are needed.
You can use the brick separator for that that's why it has that thing on the end.
@@Cyber_MooseOP is talking about the tiny slits on the side of the piece. The - shaped ones
@@BryanLu0 Yes that's what I'm talking about. Using the separator to push the axle out of that slot.
MAN I KNEW THOSE BIONICLE EYE PIECES, I TRIED SO HARD TO GET THEM APPART 💀
Impossible disassembly: Roller coaster car bases and their wheels. DO NOT TAKE APART, the wheel/axles get damaged and cannot be reused!
I mean, if you’re building an RC car you wouldn’t want it to fall apart.
I think it'd be cool if a Lego movie/show/game had one of the plot points be that a bad guy was "sealed away in an indestructible cage" and showed that cage being built with these undeconstructible building techniques! Like maybe they could've done that to Garmadon from Ninjago or smth
This video failed to mention the eye piece connecting to the mata heads. I legitimately cut myself trying to pry one off with a brick separator.
You can use a small axle on the inside to push the bottom pieces out, use a flat piece to push it if you need more force. But really you just need to push the click part past the inside. Sure it’s tricky but you don’t need to bend the pieces.
God that picture of the 2 gray 2×2's with the tiny chip in the corner just gave me ptsd
