The fact this mad lad starts every episode walking backwards down a twisting stairway absolutely LITTERED with Lego and doesn't hit a single one or miss a single step means there must be some dark magic or something involved on this channel
Ah, you see he really does is record the intro backwards and then plays it in reverse. Don't think about that too hard.
Pretty sure he films it in reverse but has trained himself to speak backward.
Dark magic? No.
Duck magic? 🦆 🪄
@@TarheelFlips which ironically enough would be even more impressive!
I graduated from the Christopher Nolan Tenet school of backwards talking and am now unstoppable
The intro will be remembered as one of the best long shots in movie history.
7:55 those black tubes are just water lines either cooling or heating the mold. The plastic is injected from the back from a massive barrel that is extremely hot.
I came here to say the exact same thing. Thanks @Cold__Soup ;)
yeah. On some more complex moulds there are sometimes dozens of water tubes. In some rare cases oil is used instead of water for heating or cooling.
That's right. And the double injected parts has the second screw vertically on top of the mold.
Extremely hot is a exaggeration. It's about 200-300c.
@@KneppaH Yes. We have moulds that weight 4000 kg and has about 50 lines.
They are always "cooling". The warm plastic do heat them good after some hours if u don't cool them. But ofcourse u need some heat in them to be able to inject the plastic inside. The hottest we run some molds are around 70c.
This guy must be very familiar with his room layout to be confident enough to walk backwards past all those sets for a minute straight
He speaks backwards and walks up the stairs 😂😂
He's an absolute legend. He could do it blindfolded.
It’s like when you walk around your house with your eyes closed
Imagine dusting off his collection 🤦♂️
Mirror below the lens. Piece of cake!
That's crazy cool!
Fr
This was super sick!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Goinq down the stairs, walking backwards around your priceless lego collection, looking straight at the camera and speaking eloquently about the topic of the video. Each of these is a skill hard enough now imagine it ALL AT THE SAME TIME! Impressive.
And he does most of his videos when hes in that cellar in a one cut. Dude is an absolute beast
Not saying this is why but it's a huge plus for Lego that you've won Lego Masters. You've gotten a huge boost in your relationship with Lego and making content with this new found success for your own channel also helps Lego PR-wise. It's basically Free Advertising+ for them, not that they needed it anyway. Guess it's really a win-win for everyone, even viewers of your channel. Can't speak for the other contestants lol
Exactly what I was thinking! I think the bigger boost is for us, the audience, because we get insider looks that have not been shared before.
Yep I'm feeling much the same way.
First time watching this channel, you have probably all of the Lego sets. That is so cluttered but in a great way!
So well said. Agree!
He is specifically a business person. A pitch man. He makes mention of his startups on lego masters.
Lego using Lego Masters to introduce these things makes a ton of sense. It's good PR for lego.
2:12 You nailed the pronunciation. Cheers from Denmark!
Fascinating. Congrats on your win and getting the tour. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, thank you, Chris and Robert! and thank you to LEGO for letting you publish this!
I loved seeing LEGO manufcaturing in action. LEGO has such an amazing system for manufacturing all these bricks and pieces and getting those to the many millions of customers around the world.
Definitely the Ministry of LEGO Magick.
So cool getting to see factory up close!
The sheer engineering and craftmanship to design the moulds and machines, let alone the lego, is just incredible.
I am also a diehard warhammer hobbiest, and its rare to ever get to see the duel, and now quad, injection machines.
It is an extremely high skilled job, and most people in the industry are snapped up by big medical companies (thats where the real money is in mould design now), so seeing how amazing these factories are is like art in itself.
So thankyou for showing this. It makes me appreciate what it takes to get our hobby in our hands.
One of the most fascinating videos yet! Incredible footage of the LEGO factory in Billund!
Thanks for watching!! This was such a blast to make
Enjoyed the watch, thank you!
thank you for letting use take part in this unique experience!
I am so glad you guys got to experience this first hand! 💪
I'm pretty sure the rubber tubes at 7:45 are feeding the machines soup. They work very hard all day and need their sustenance
mmmmm....SOUP!
-The Machines
The other day I dug out an old book I have, “The World of LEGO Toys”, from 1987, which includes a chapter all about the manufacturing process as well as packaging. I was really hoping that you’d get to show them packing the boxes up close as I suspect the general process probably hasn’t changed much between then and now.
The book specifically points out the surprising amount of automation for the time and that there weren’t many employees roaming around. It also found at least seven different ways to brag about how high LEGO’s standards of quality are compared to any other company that produces injection-molded plastic products.
I wish I got to see that too! Sadly this specific factory was purely brick manufacturing - packaging was done elsewhere
They can't brag about their quality anymore unfortunately😂😢
Great, now I'm obsessed with getting to see more of the inside of that book, after seeing it on BrickTsar's channel just recently! I want to build the big gray pyramid with the skyscrapers near the back of the book.
@@Sinjinator It's a great time capsule of what great MOCs were like before they were even called MOCs. There's an elegant simplicity in the now rudimentary selection of parts that in no way limited the builders' creativity.
@@Sinjinator the book is free to view on the internet archive website, just google the name
This has been an incredible tour, indeed! Thanks for the insightful overview!!
What an awesome experience and video thank you for sharing.
Incredible! What an experience to be given such access!! Thank you for thinking of your subscribers along the way and capturing it for all of us to see as well!
the tour was sick
Bro is calling us poor in 1000 ways during the intro
Really surprised they let you film. I did the Insiders tour in October and they were very firm about no filming. So this is very lucky indeed.
Really cool tour 😎 let me watch that again and again 😍
Keep up the great work. Congratulations on getting first place.
Thanks to you for giving Lego a channel that is only focus of the brand to be seen as a wonderful toy. That is why Lego can intrust in you and not others. It is a hard line to hold but you have the past history to prove it.
I am so happy that you won Lego Masters!🎉
That must’ve been an amazing tour. I want to add this on my bucket list.
hope you had a good time in our country!
The deep storage part was insane.
For info, the tubes at the side of the mold carry coolant water, not plastic. The plastic comes form behind the fixed side of the mold, behind that part is a heated tube with a hydraulic piston that pushes the plastic into the mold.
Also these are cold runner molds, meaning the mold makes the Lego parts and a bit of plastic called the "sprue" that gets ground back into plastic and put back into the machine.
You are right! But it is a screw, not a piston!
That's amazing. Way more sterile, and far more robotic arms than I expected
Love the random enigmatic Bionicle Totem
Maybe it's trying to summon Gen 3
I work in manufacturing. Very cool to see their setup and how they do injection molding.
The random Bionicle figure in the factory is right next to a trophy, a pink house, and two castle sets. It could be either a reward/trophy shelf for an unknown contest, or prototypes for other sets.
Lego: "How many lego sets would you like to buy today?" DuckBricks: "Yes."
Being able to walk backwards while talking to the camera and not bumping into the sets is a skill!!!
Very cool stuff
9:12 Eyy, a Kuka Robot! Nice. Greetings from Augsburg in Germany where those are produced
I acually went to the factory too glad u had a fun time
I stilI still have a piece from a mould we made as a test for Lego 10-15 years ago, Amazing place :) :)
Pretty damn cool!, thank your sharing this!
Had no idea you had a RUclips channel and I’m so happy I just found it. Congrats on winning Lego masters and can’t wait to see more awesome content like this 🎉
9:10 It's actually a "tire cutter". The tires are already molded but the center needs to be cut out
of all things im really interested in seeing more of the sprues, i wanna see how they arrange parts on them, it’s something ive been curious about for a while now
That was so awesome!!!!
It's nice to see how clean the warehouse, factory, robots and all the equipment, etc are. Very interesting video!
I remember when you had like < 6k subscribers. You've grown so much & still more to go congrats
Awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻
That’s awesome 🤩 , thank you for sharing!
I am a huge fan of the Lego Masters series and I loved all of the builds you have made.
Super cool insight. Plastic injection is a cool process and the molds aren’t cheap. A lot of robotics in this facility not many factory workers.
7:53 Those hoses are actually for water lines to cool the plastic once it's injected. Kind of like how water moves through an engine block to cool a motor. The Gate where the plastic comes out you wouldn't be able to see from this view. It's usually located in A side of the mold in the center.
Truly a Willy Wonka expernice! Which I also guess the wearhouse at the end is where the Denmark Pick a brick orders is picked from. And thanks for sharing looked like you guys had a blast!
Every intro i am convinced hes going to fall down those stairs and wipe out all the stuff on the walls.
That’s sick, you guys are awesome and I wish I could come to your Lego room. My mom wouldn’t let me have that much Lego
Your collection is so impressive but I wonder it must take a while to dust your sets.
I find it cool to see your ships hanging from the ceiling but Id be afraid to try that with my ships in case one drop on the ground.
Still its great to see your collection and your visit in Billund
Thanks for sharing your passion with us
I'm so glad he didn't accidentally walk into something and destroy the whole room in the intro. That would've given me a heart attack.
Awesome!
Anyone feel like a cool kid because you followed duckbricks before their Lego masters win? This is definitely a wish child-me (and still adult-me) come true: modern Lego pieces being made. And the fact the bionicle still lives, is amazing!
Gotta love the consistency of being placed on LAN probation and yet allowed unprecedented access with video recording of unreleased sets 😅
I was very careful to not publish this video until every single piece shown was in a released set 😂… been holding onto this footage since September
Very awesome to see BTS of the factory
Holy shit. The dream tour of every AFOL
Love your videos duckbricks!
I am seriously feeling my shirt getting caught on one of those LEGO models as he's walking backwards.
Gonna save some minifigs for the rest of us. jesus. that's one hell of a collection :D
Love it! Thanks for showing us!
thank you so much for showing this off, you were my favorite team to watch on the show. my favorite episode/ build was probably the chair or the car(and the finale obviously). Also, when is your lego set going to be in stores in canada?
0:50 Good lord I think you have more Lego than any factory.
Nicely done. Is there a machine for each shape of Lego out there . I love your displays in your home the most .
Each shape of Lego has its own mold. The molds can be swapped in the machine (and settings adjusted) to produce whatever part they’re making.
I came to this video because I'm currently updating the fire alarm system to a lego factory and as cool as LEGOs are, this dude has an unhealthy enthusiasm of a toy. Glad he can make a living off of it
Amazing video in so many ways, I often drive past Lego in Billund, but have never been in side. But been to Lego land many many times :-)
I was there a month ago at the Inside Tour, those were such amazing days in Billund!
Hey its our Lego Masters! any word on when your Wonderliner set will be unveiled?
Soo cool ❤🥳
awesome
The tubes on the mold should be water that goes into the mold to keep it at the right temperature.platic actually gets injected into mold through an opening in the mold from a chamber that cooks the plastic to correct melting temp. Then into mold to cool down.
I was at Billund Theme park this summer 😊
I went a number of years ago, it was so cool (especially the Billund Airport model). I had dinner one night downtown, and used that as an excuse to walk past HQ's front door. Lunch the next day was at the main Lego hotel (not where I stayed) and made sure to eat some Lego french fries.
Those black lines are actually water to the mold for cooling. The plastic is injected from the screw on the right of the machine into the mold.
this is the greatest awesome video ever ! 😀👍👏
Did you guys go to Lego House?
Really cool and entertaining.
this made me drool on both ends😮💨
My wife said I had too much stuff, it's around 50 anime figures. I sent her this video and now I can add 50 more, thanks duckbricks!
My man, when is your set going to be released and how close will it be to your design?
After seeing the endless bins at the end, I REALLY want a horror game set in a LEGO factory in which the monsters build themselves out of Lego with the signature lego building sound.
Would be great to see how they turn those containers of single elements into sets. But that is probably a different factory? Oh and on the video itself, great job! I expected the pace in the factory to be a lot higher, but the process is very slow.
the bionicle shrine 😂
Watching over the molding machines, working in... unity
legend
It’s amazing how much work goes into each individual piece… having to get all those pieces into all the sets is what I would love to see next
So we all agree that this guy uploads the best Lego content on RUclips right?
Hear, hear!
Were you able to see sets getting put together and boxed?
I was really hoping to see how they go from big bins of parts to sealing them up into sets.
That has to be automated aswell... Right???
I love that at the start of this video I was like "this guy looks familiar, how do I know him? OH YEAH! Atrioc watched all 9 hours of the Bionicle video" lmao
Slight correction: the robotic arms at 4:33 are actually cleaning lids for the boxes that LEGO is stored in, they aren't producing them :) Just a good ol clean :D
Very cool 👍👍👍
"the 2 tubes" don't inject plastic. There part of the cooling circle and just contain water. The plastic gets injected on the opposite side of where the parts leave on the conveyor belt. Tubes would just break as the plastic gets injected with around 1000 bar (14500 psi).
Holy sh-t... I ended up here accidentally, but WHAT A COLLECTION!?
Interesting. Many sites were selling the Lego set with pink tyres in Dec 2023. Also if you have a toy shop etc, the trade shows in January are great to attend and if you're able to get an appointment with Lego, you'll get to sign an NDA and can get a look at the upcoming sets for the entire year prior to them being released. I have done this many times in London. Their stand is basically a huge Lego Brick enclosed so you can't see inside like other booths. But it's fun to see the sets for the entire year before everyone else does (and of course place certain orders, especially as most of us placed some of the Christmas orders by March (9 months early!). Sadly LEGO are not very good at delivering what is ordered though, it's about 50/50 whether or not they deliver on exactly what you ordered unlike other toy sellers/distributors. LEGO definitely like creating demand and underproducing on purpose, as well as not caring too much for independent businesses/toy stores selling Lego. But the LEGO reps were always nice.
I have never been so excited for a suggested RUclips video. My 7 year olds cheered for you guys the entire season and I can't wait to get home from school to show them this. Congratulations guys! We are all big fans!
