Fun fact: The clip piece technique is actually used in some newer sets, so if you use a tile with a groove and a newer clip, it’s not illegal! I used to think the same thing as you but I’ve been corrected by people in my LUG many times. Great vid tho! 😀
Moyakaku 86 I forgot about that one! My brother actually bought that set, I was so sure I had seen that technique used in person. Thanks for the reminder!
With the first technique, I initially thought "Well, what if Lego just widened the studs or shortened the plates to prevent stress?" And as I came to realize the ramifications of such an action, an absolute bastardization and corruption of a once-pure interlocking construction system, I felt as a scholar whom delved into one too many tomes of knowledge. I stared into the abyss, and I felt the abyss stare back. I felt the presence of a thinking collection of knowledge, and it knew what I had done. What I had considered, if only for a brief moment. And as soon as I came to grips with the sin I had committed, I abandoned the idea entirely, like the scholar who casts the tome away in fear and runs from the building, howling like a mad dog. But what a fool I've been to document this experience. For now, even as I warn you against it, I have corrupted you with the knowledge I've gained. But I know that, should I keep it to myself, I'll soon be driven mad by what I've discovered. And I'd rather we all live with my curse than I suffer alone. And what a fool I am.
The technique you mentioned at 4:10 is actually illegle since technic bricks and Snot Bricks like the headlightbrick put together in this way don't align up perfectly on the top and the Bottom
Yup, I heard that the holes in the side of the technic brick are slightly further up than the studs in the SNOT brick. This was so that there was enough space for receiving studs to connect to the bottom of the technic brick.
I think there's also the problem that the brick with the two holes for a pin, which is sort of in the technic system, actually shouldn't have studs connected to it through snot because the holes are a slightly different diameter to studs and aren't made for them.
It's things like this that give me trust issues... Never knew that, always thought they were identical. You can still use that technique with another headlight brick though, you'll just have to deal with the sideways studs.
If it is the company Lego using this term, they should petition lawmakers to codifiy the rules into law, or they should cease and desist using that term.
@@johnrobertson4450 there are differences between rules and laws. Laws are created by a recognized aurhority. They consist of covenants and enforcement mechanism by mandated agents that can enforce the laws on behalf of the legal authority. I an quite certain a toy company from an obscure Scandinavian country does not have the authority to enforce "toy rules" at the international level. If there are preferred ways to handle toys, they at best should be contained into guidelines offered by the Lego toy company.
@@mihailmilev9909 apparently American dictionaries allow the use of the word for uses other than law. My Oxford dictionary is out of date. I'm French Canadian, so English is a second language. I am not used to seeing the word used for trivial matters.
Are you sure those weren’t tiles? (The ones without studs.) Those are slightly thinner than plates and don't stress the piece where you wedge them in. That makes it legal to use them in the same fashion.
Man RUclips recommendeds me the most random videos that I don’t need but are interesting. I’m basically a doctor, a rocket scientist, an engineer, and now a master builder at this point.
Illegal techniques are super situational like the other commenter said, I wouldn't ever go straight to an illegal build but every now and then they are super useful especially for good looking (mostly 70s-early 80s inspired utopia sci-fi) futuristic railing and runway markers for battleships to name a few.
0:57 is actually “legal” while building the Empire State Building architecture set I found it when building the floors. Although I think for example a 2x4 plate with studs is illegal while a 2x4 plate without is, as I right?
The whole challenge with Lego, at least for me, was always of the limited pieces Realistically, no kid out there is gonna use more than shoebox's volume of Legos
@@Omabatfartsbruh i ve got all lego dimensions sets and half of the clips are broken even though i only assembled them according to the official lego instructions. either i got a lot of faulty pieces or they are super fragile by design...
@@TheSieth fragile by design. Older flags with clips also lose strength over time. It brittles. I have plenty castle and pirate flags that lost their clips. As well as regular clip pieces losing their strength all together. What I also noticed, "I recently got out my Viking sets". Many pieces are not "perfect" up to standard. In Viking sets you have lots of clips and holes to put horns in. Horns tend to not fit snuggly enough. Either the clips are giving, or the connector part on the horns are thinner on some than others. Some of the horns almost fall out while others are sitting secure. Mold degradation could be an issue. Where cleaning between runs is not done properly. Giving too much variation on very small parts.
I started by watching a movie and I took a break to go to the bathroom about halfway through soon to find myself watching a video by jaiden animations only then to find about an hour later that I have still not watched any more of the movie and I’m now watching a video about illegal Lego techniques. Weird.
Day 25. My belly makes funny sounds, but I ignore them mostly. I have everything I need: water, toiletpaper, and nice Lego vids. The door made a lot of noise on the first few days too, but it has been silent for some time now. Oh look, a new vid!
The first two techniques explain alot about the state of some of my lego pieces.... I used to do those first two all the time as a kid. That explains why some of them pieces are warped or straight up broken now. xD
"A technique I am sure a lot of you guys have used." *Wipes sweat off head and hopes no one realizes I haven't even touched a lego in over 10 years and I just clicked this vid because it was in recommended.* Ah, quite the common tactic there. I totally knew about that being a thing.
The first one you mentioned was actually used in the lego ideas saturn v, and possibly sets since then. Great video nonetheless! Lego is definitely starting to break their own laws
That was a tile. Tiles don't have studs that stress the bricks or plates they are slotted into. They also have a little groove around their bottoms that both allows them to be held by mini-figures, which also lessens stress. That technique is legal.
Doesnt the term "Illegal" just come from the meme "mods asleep post illegal building techniques" which is a LEGO spin on the already existing meme format?
No, it's been a term for a while, and it basically means a lego connection that wasn't intended or is impractical in some (normally obvious) way. That meme is just one or many that used that term
Thank you for the explanation - I've known about two of these - the simple plate standing and plate-in-hinge and avoided them. The Lego Co does a couple of things in their builds I really dislike - for example stickers across multiple bricks - kinda means the model gets built once. They also sometimes use the tiny rod parts with other tiny parts (like the 1x1 round with hole), which becomes inseparable.
Hold on mr “it’s an Illegal lego technique If it puts Pressure on the Bricks” Connecting two 2 x 2s by putting one on top of the other puts pressure on the two bricks
Haha the first illegal one, I did that with railtrack sleepers! I made a DJ stage, with an old smartphone to get a 'tv screen' idea. The phone has different dimensions and wouldn't stay upright. The classic sleepers have these notches to click the rails on, and turned out to have the best format to keep the phone in place :)
I really thought that sticking plated in between the studs was "legal" since the pieces seem to designed to fit in there! The space between studs is almost exactly the same as the thickness of a plate.
it's not "illegal" as in "not allowed" it's more like "this technique does not fit our standards well enough to be included in an official set instruction, because our customers expect official instructions to be stable and safe for long term builds without damaging the legos"
When I was a kid, we didn't have "bracket" pieces. There were no funny shaped pieces or any kind of direction changing pieces nor anything to smooth over the top row of studs. I don't recall having thin "plate" pieces either. BTW, for your soldier example, you can sand down the studs just on two sides, to relieve the stress. The plate will still work normally for building because the studs are fully round in the other direction so grip properly.
Me: is this actually illegal or is it only illegal in the Lego franchise? Me: *does an illegal Lego thing for fun* The front door: *DANISH FBI. OPEN UP*
I’ve done that clip piece technique you showed off and forgot about it for years as a kid, the most that happened was that a small crack about 3-4 mm long will appear down the side of the clip.
I don't specifically remember what sets, but i definitely saw plenty of plate-edge connection in sets when i was a kid in the 90s and early 00s. I only knew to use that technique in my mocs from official instructions.
I've noticed an illegal technique in a Lego video game once. In Lego Harry potter years 5-7, the sword of Gryffindor is made up of pieces, instead of being just a sword piece, and the blade is a plate that attached to the hilt with that piece that has the little grabber on top. Sorry if I don't know official terms for certain parts.
Lego actually used the illegal clip to tile technique in the new modular police station set for the typewriter but not with the horizontal clip, the vertical clip.
For the most part, this video is edited excellently. However, the interlacing is a bit annoying. I'm entirely not sure if that's just the camera you were using or if you added it intentionally, but it seems to be the latter. Otherwise, great video!
You know, it disturbs me when RUclips figures out what I'll watch that has absolutely nothing to do with my normal video watching diet. But, the awesome videos are worth it.
my dad used to work for lego in denmark and taught me a lot about illegal and legal techniques all thought i think the second one was used in a set from only a few years ago but overall lego approved
That's child's play compared to the assembly mods I used on my Gen 1 CE Star Destroyer. I actually used a file to on some pieces I added to increase strength and rigidity, as that kit was known for internal frame bending under the weight of the hull platrs.
Probably already been mentioned, but LEGO used a 2x3 tile between studs a bunch of times in the Empire State Building. Which, I replaced with some 1x3 bricks in all instances.
Fun fact: The first illegal technique you showed is legal if the vertical piece is a tile instead of a plate. Lego used it in the Saturn V set a few years ago. Because the tiles don't have studs and they're slightly differently shaped, that connection doesn't stress the pieces in the same way.

Calling it "LEGO's" should be Illegal.
why?

But its ounds cool
Huh. This is pretty interesting. You look like a good channel. This is why I like the RUclips recommended feed.
Why is this in my recommended? Literally haven’t even seen a lego piece in years
I remember visiting a Lego display as a kid, and noticing that pieces had been sawed at 45 angles and glued!
3:05 but there is also these similar bricks that are round and can connect the bricks normally without falling apart
Lego actually used the illegal clip to tile technique in the new modular police station set for the typewriter but not with the horizontal clip, the vertical clip.
Cool heard about this in youtube video's but as a observer never really got it. Thanks was a simple and clean video explaining it.
Solid studs into technic holes create stress on the holes. That's why there are hollow studs that generate less stress into the technic holes.
LEGO did use tiles in clips in the Shield Helicarrier set however they used the modified tile clips rather than the modified plate clips.
For the most part, this video is edited excellently. However, the interlacing is a bit annoying. I'm entirely not sure if that's just the camera you were using or if you added it intentionally, but it seems to be the latter.

my dad used to work for lego in denmark and taught me a lot about illegal and legal techniques all thought i think the second one was used in a set from only a few years ago but overall lego approved
That's child's play compared to the assembly mods I used on my Gen 1 CE Star Destroyer. I actually used a file to on some pieces I added to increase strength and rigidity, as that kit was known for internal frame bending under the weight of the hull platrs.
Probably already been mentioned, but LEGO used a 2x3 tile between studs a bunch of times in the Empire State Building. Which, I replaced with some 1x3 bricks in all instances.
4:07 it feels so good to learn about this
Haven't seen Lego in years... Still watched the whole video 😅
Fun fact: The first illegal technique you showed is legal if the vertical piece is a tile instead of a plate. Lego used it in the Saturn V set a few years ago. Because the tiles don't have studs and they're slightly differently shaped, that connection doesn't stress the pieces in the same way.
A plate in a clip was also in the micro scale diagon alley used for the signs making it legal
Illegal #1 is acually in the 'new' LEGO Fender Stratocaster guitar set in the amplifier. It is used several times in that set.
Lego used the first technique with one 2X1 in the Saturn V set. Always wondered if that fell into this category.
The fisrt illegal technique reminds me of that experiment which was made to prove the earth is flat that ended up actually proving it is round
Just today I saw these terms used in conjunction with some Lego art contest, and I find this video in my recommended? Spooky!
