What you've noticed as looking like 3D printed stepping on the Bionicle pieces, are actually steps from a rough machined version of the mould that made the piece, which is still injection moulded. 3D printing was not this good at the time, and there are plenty of pictures around of prototypes that were actually 3D printed, where the print lines are much more noticeable. I've got a few rough machined pieces like this myself, which would look 3D printed to most, but they tested some moulds before the final machining pass to smooth out the stepping.
You can also tell this particularly on Onua's feet, as there are dips in the plastic where it has been pulled into a void within the plastic. If this were a 3D print, those would not be there. This stepping is noticeable on some pieces in magazine photos, and of particular note, the original Darth Vader helmet is seen as the rough machined mould a few times in promotional material of the time the Star Wars sets were new.
Wow wasn’t expecting the preparation to start yet! This is very exciting and the DuckBricks museum is going to be phenomenal when it opens. I just hope no one damages any part of the collection once it’s put on display for everyone to see.
he has the means to have them protected do not worry :) plus im sure once this is turned into a physical business he can insure he legos as they are also investments.
Agreed! It's going to be so amazing!
Bro is cooking up the LEGO House Sequel.
The packaging is part of the history. It needs to be saved
9:52 I loved seeing those Galaxy Squad & Ultra Agents prototypes as those are my favorite Lego themes along with Agents in 2008. Thanks for explaining the parts to that Infearno prototype, I’m definitely gonna try to part that one together myself now!
WOW!
Your Lego collection is just incredible :)
Agreed! It is another level!! Would love the opportunity to explore it. Can't wait for the museum to become a reality!
When I was a kid I'd pretend being a museum curator and would arrange items on a shelf, with paper hand-written "plaques" providing facts and information about them.
But you my friend, are living the dream! Kudos to you, love to see you taking steps towards your goals
Thats so great! 😆
Everytime I see your collection I'm blown away by it! Just incredible! And trust me: this whole collection is museum worthy! You should be doing daily tours with all the knowledge you possess about Lego!
Agreed!!
For most people even just seeing old rare sets in person is going to be so cool.
I love that you started creating museum blurbs for some of your sets; looking forward to being able to seeing the sets in person! Maybe adding some interesting facts about why or how you added them to your collection would be fun.
There are a few Lego ambassadors who have moved their sets into a separate building which gives them more room to build out their cities/towns and display their collection. I expect this is similar to what you would do except your goal is a museum, which I’m definitely looking forward to seeing. I like the idea of having an online portion to it as someone else already mentioned.
Agreed! The blurbs are so cool. It makes me want to do it for our collection; just for when friends and family come over! It's such a neat idea.
It will be a piece of art Chris when it opens,
very excited to see how this will turn out in the end, your collection is truly magnificent and worthy of public display
Can't like this enough!
He’s actually doing it! The mad lad
First, also love the videos, huge congrats to you on lego masters, i was watching it live and rooting for you the entire time!
Maybe for the Comic Con packaging you could print out pictures of the Minifigs to put in them, and have the actual figures out of the packaging.
Super cool!!! Great overview!!! You need to find a big building for the museum!!! But first see how the new adventure goes!!! Enjoy!!!
I can't imagine how big the space would need to be for everything to be properly displayed. it will be amazing!
For the comic con packages, maybe try and get a store set rack that stores use to hold socks
for those small packages you showed, you could take the cardboard backing and put them in sleeves in a binder.
Finally! Hopefully i can one day visit it when it's done.
Wow he can walk backwards really well without falling down stairs or breaking anything 😂 Respect🤓 Seriously tho amazing collection🥇
He also managed to keep the Lego in one piece, while walking like that. ;) 😂
I’ll definitely go to see your collection and meet you in person
Use the collective hive mind of your fan base to write all your placks. Run a giveaway for best museums descriptions for your favorite sets. Bam endless supply of descriptions.
I think you should do a tiny blurb for the "lego values" bricks, when you know, you know but on first sight is a very wtf item
You should put the display cases on display with a info plaque
The information plaque for the test bricks @ 2:12 note that Brick A and Brick D both the 'tallest' studs. Is that a typo? ... great information regardless; thank you for sharing.
An idea for the comic con packages is to cut out the back and put in on a board. And put all the comic con minifigures on that board in the correspanding place. Obviously it would be quite annying to get the figures from other walls. But at the end you could have part of the museum which showcases all the comic con minifigs next to the plaque. That way its easier (people dont need to go around searching for all comic con minifigs, although you could do that) and it might look nicer together.
The boxes and the trident
You could put a comment plaque on each item you have. Maybe you should consider writing a book? Love all your stories that go with each Lego ❤️
wtf should I do with my life to not only afford this level of collecting but also to be so active in everything. It is still my main reaction to every video after a year here
also comic con packages should either be displayed with figures inside, or make an installation of them thrown into a pile with words above "I don't care about packaging"
Could I possibly book a trip to Washington just to go to your house and see all your Ninjago sets in person that would be insane
Thats like a buggati worth of legos thats crazy
Really want to visit sometime
Placards describing highlights of your collection looks very slick. Most people see LEGO as "worlds" like "NInjago" or "Star Wars" or "Friends: or "City" - so separating a LEGO museum by "worlds" make sense. One of the bigger draws for Museums are student field trips hosted by educators, educators would be interested in "Dacta," "Mindstorm," "or "LEGO education." Interactive displays that teach kids something about LEGO or STEM would justify your museum as a valuable school fieldtrip destination. If you have a movie theater at your Museum, then LEGO Cable TV and Movies can help tell the story line behind certain LEGO sets. A toy's storylines is part of allure and interest in the toy so this needs to be showcased in a toy museum - this is why the story behind a LEGO creation was so important in the LEGO Masters game show. When displaying a Matrix Table of LEGO parts/bricks on the wall, it would make LEGO parts referenced by the placard easier to identify if the display matrix had a column and row identify each cell of the matrix or table in the same way as a spread sheet. Most Museums survive by a combination of annual membership fees, admission tickets, movie / event ticket sales, and gift shop retail sales. Retail sales and the marketing require professional skills and networking that would need the LEGO group blessings to work IMHO. There is also the LEGO Therapy for functional Autistic Spectrum Disorder and to teach pre K social and communication skills. IMHO a children's museum does not have to have rare items to work but it does have to be fun and engaging experience. To that end, most museum have a visiting/touring exhibit area that changes every two or four months- to make annual membership fees worth it and to generate visitor/guest - the number of guest a museum has per year justifies its revenue stream to keep the museum economically sustainable. Another economic model you should look at is the MAKER space Workshop business/economic model... A museum could be supported by the revenue stream created by a membership LEGO space workshop (instead of a gym membership).
The idea of separating by worlds is super cool.
The huna and komau test prints are more common in scandinavia, I've seen a few circulating not for sale though. That said still super rare pieces that maybe has less than 20 copies
Also for the sdcc, nycc excluisives maybe display the figures with the packaging. I know you don't care for packaging but feels lile a dick move throwing them out, also it would probably sudoku the value of your figs.
If you want to get rid of them maybe looking for people who are missing the packaging for their figure who might want them and sell it to them.
It would be really cool if you made a plaque for one of the Dino Attack T. Rexes, since the theme isn’t that well known.
Curious, do you have any of vidiyo cancled dinosaur heads?
I actually won one from one of his WhatNot streams back last August in 2023. I couldn’t believe it & it’s the prize jewel of my collection because I can’t afford any of the Comic Con minifigures so having something this rare in my collection is really nice.
maybe you should make a plaque for the ninjago city and the dragons rising minifigures with the semi-custom masks
You need many Indiana Jones figures with the frase "this belongs in a museum" beside them 🤭
Personally, I'd hold off on including prices in a museum description. It will be outdated within a couple years, whether the value goes up or down.
Lots of folks own the brown komau and white huna. At least 3 of each appeared this past year. There's one guy who has 2 of each (super lucky)
This is true. The discontinuation of the last Star Wars Death Star set did not rise in price because it was replaced by a newer Star Wars Death Star set. Evaluation of rare Dungeons and Dragon playing cards are made less valuable by re issuing previous "rare" playing card designs.
Also deserving of plaques:
Employee X-Mas gifts
The original Cuusoo sets as that line has now blown up into so much more
I call dibs on helping fund
Is the end goal to give a plaque for everything in the collection or just the rare stuff? Cause that would be a TON of display plaques lol but your plans tend to somehow always work out in the end
❤️
Is it possible to get the instructions/parts list for that Toa Mata mosaic? It's so cool! I saw you linked it in a prior video but the drive link is dead
One of my friends has a pretty big lego collection and as a kid I was always joking that he should turn it into a museum
20 ppl is crazy
Finally :)
i have a question, why not move to somewhere bigger?
wow when is it opening ?
The only thing that comes to my mind for the packages would be to put their minifigures back inside them for display.
i have alot of questions about your intro and its good im early. 1. have you ever fell down the stairs or hit something on the way down? it feels weird seeing you walk backwards down a staircase. 2. what if like. a earthquake happens?
The earthquake thought gave me shivers. Oy!
I just noticed that bionicle mosaic, how can i get instructions for that?
dedicate a section to pre bionicle sets that tried to be more action figure orientated such as throwbots, spybotics, robo riders, competition
Chris, I think your focus on rare and exclusive things is kind of missing the point of LEGO.
What you have that is special is such an extensive collection of LEGO sets, both current and past. It would be neat to have a museum where you can see comprehensive collections of complete themes from each year, and then maybe have some blurbs about why those themes were special or some historical context.
But if you go to an Art museum, it's not about which pieces are exclusive or special, it's about displaying and curating things that are compelling to the museum goer. You might find that these arcane oddities are not as special as sets. But I could be wrong.
$8 to $10.000 fig. 😮 Just sitting on the shelf and mr. Gold yeep that s chris. Crazy. 😊 Good. .any orly. Ninjago sets .and exo force orly. Ninja set. Ninja tourtel sets . .great. Vid chris so exsighting. Mafe ...for the mini fig desplay. At the musium just have some one make. You. ..mini fig desplay case made .that take up the wall. Space. Along one hole wall arear. In thd musium. Would look. Dope ..mate
Are you going to establish your Lego museum in NYC?
The rarest thing in your collection is your trophy!
So true!
Do you have every ninjago set/minifigure
This is an absolute dream. I'm at the stage of dreaming about charging a gold coin donation to enter my garage 😂
A guy in New Jersey in the late 1990’s was on the news with over 10,000 sets. He called his museum his basement. He was selling his entire collection to retire in Hawaii.
GALIDOR DISPLAY 😂
wont the valuations constantly fluctuate?
I remember when I comment this in a video and now is a reality 😭
LoL 😆 yes. His house is a musium. Like. Elvis house. If he died. Tomorrow. We. Could just. Go to the. Real duck bricks. House. For a walk thru. ...😊 💎🤩💥🤗
@@countrabricksbuildcraze8916i had a bad time trying to read this 😭 sorry fella
@@countrabricksbuildcraze8916what did I just read
I can’t wait I hope in Seattle since we are the first to really put it down for Lego and see if you can find out who was the first airport to really do it for Lego and selling sets and other Lego things for them I know the airports played a big part in them getting there start (was SeaTac one of the first?$ and gas stations and little mom and pop drug stores
seattle absolutely not one of the first to "really put it down for lego" smh
Sooo cool but the plaques that have the value of the figures doesn’t make sense for the reason in a year one of the figures could be worth way more. Or maybe lose value.
I agree. It would need updating constantly depending when the museum opens as the value will change over time.
could have lcd display plaques. but i dont know why "value" is important anyways. if go to an art museum, it doesnt list the probable auction price
A better idea would be example listing the comic con fig on a plaque and explain how many there are ext. the rarity basically. That doesn’t change. The value of it will. Just someone seeing a figure was only made x amount will get them talking. They can always look up the value online
Example: If you have someone a decade from now seeing a comic con collector fig in your museum and say, “wow! It’s worth $10,000!”…when in reality 10 years from now it’s a $25,000 fig. Just an example.
Love the content! This isn’t negative just trying to help
Obviously all Bionicle sets should be in the museum, including the collectibles.
Hope you got enough anti-theft planned in for after the move.
Hey, I have a question. Do you have all Lego in the world?
@10:06 would
Somehow Chris resembles me to Goofy 😅
Wait your moving, what about all that Lego?
have you ever fall from the stairs in an intro?
13:58 Lego Duckbricks
I know it might be tempting to put the value on the plaques, but I would avoid doing that in the actual museum
no way he isnt verified yet
In fact you own a Lego gold mine
Give them to me
Even though you might not like collecting boxes, a lot of us lego fans do and the lego museum you've been talking about putting together should have everything lego. Including the packaging.
🤓, open your own museum then lol
Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A lego room. A lego room with lego and lego makes me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once…
You need to print your information on bricks instead of paper.
You neet to split yuor collection in to 3 parts museum. Home .RUclips
wait you won lego masters
ore you just have the trophy
It's weird how the comic con figs are worth so much but majority of them are horribly & lazily printed
Walking backwards 😮😅
Why did you rent space in a warehouse so people can buy pay to see all your collections
Awsome chris. Seen yo. Vid. Few weeks. Back about. You saying. How you going to. Nyc ..wich you would be their atm. And how you in the planing of. Building a lego musium .dam. One great. Thing to do.

The text is too wordy. Great for real collectors but not for kids or casual collectors.
Nice, but would you actually be allowed to open a LEGO museum.... i mean LEGO owns the name, and what if they wanted to build a museum of their own. You could of course say they all ready have, with the stuff they already have on display at various LEGO locations.... but still no exactly the same.
But can anyone open a museum of ones private items and use the name of the products you display? What about copyright/naming right?
Could i, lets say, open a Nike museum.... would Nike not have a problem with it?
And LEGO in this case?
Lego is still family owned, unlike Nike. That is a key difference.
your constant disregard or even disrespect to the packagings….is weird
Bruh, do you see any free space for cardboard? The place is already full with just the sets.
Make this top comment for no reason
no
did fantastic bricks GIVE them to you? I mean wtf, normal people have to pay 10 to 40 bucks for one of those bricks from her and you, the richest collector on youtube get all of those for free? Fuck my life.
rich people get free stuff daily. its how the world works bucko
