    Hey Aluxers, what was your first experience with LEGO? Does it have that nostalgia factor for you too?
    Speaking of iconic brands, here's our cover of APPLE: ruclips.net/video/Xr2YdBz2uWk/видео.html

  • @globalist1384
    @globalist1384 6 лет назад +26

    Here are my 10 things you did wrong in this video:
    0:37 The picture does not show Ole Kirk Christiansen but Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, his grandson.
    0:47 LEGO has not been introduced as "automatic buildung blocks". Do you mean "interlocking bricks"?
    1:20 The bricks did not change a bit and have been produced in the same measurements? That's not totally correct. Beside the well known Duplo bricks there were some other sizes such as Modulex which is not compatible at all to the LEGO system bricks.
    2:12 When talking about "Legoland" please keep in mind that this is no longer owned by LEGO. It's a brand of the Merlin Entertainments Group for quite a while..
    2:19 LEGO did never change their design? Well, just look at recent LEGO technic models. You will not see a single stud anywhere.
    2:28 LEGO is available in 53 different colors? Over the years LEGO had much more than 150 colors (depending on the method of counting there are approx. 200 colors)
    4:07 To be more precise: You are talking about 6 identically "standard" bricks with 2x4 studs.
    4:58 The Allianz Arena is located in Legoland Günzburg (Bavaria), not Berlin.
    5:08 There are no military themes in LEGO except Castles, Pirates, Pirates of the Caribean, Lone Ranger and Star Wars. And of course there are endless fanmodels of all kinds of tanks and even working guns.
    5:15 You will not be able to buy LEGO guns? Well, go to bricklink.com and search for "gun". You will get 71(!) different versions of Minifig-guns. Additionally, several Star Wars sets include shooting mechanisms.
    And finally a fun fact: Do you have any idea which company is (by quantity) the largest manufacturer of tyres in the world?

    • @jessstaci6079
      @jessstaci6079 6 лет назад +1

      I agree with your comments on the inaccuracies in this channel's posts. You were dead on about the "no guns or military themes" fact being wrong. If they looked at their own footage at 7:37 it shows 3 soldiers with guns, bazookas, and grenades painted across their chests!

    • @globalist1384
      @globalist1384 6 лет назад +1

      I care about the accuracy of the statement. If this includes math, then I care about it.
      Regarding guns: there are numerous sets with working canons and stud shooters. So LEGO obviously contradicts it‘s own policy.

      Especially the part when they said lego hasn't change their design. The original lego bricks didn't have tubes. And they said the original name wrong. It's automatic binding bricks not automatic building blocks.

    The one about the “no lego war/guns” is SUCH a broken rule. There are countless themes which include lego guns, and not just made up gun models, but revolvers and uzi-inspired guns. For example, lego guns in lego city sets: which is literally cops and robbers, a real life thing.
