Thank you for 3 amazing years everyone! ❤

"My overall goal is to not spend four hours doing it this time"

We appreciate the attempt Slugger.

Of all the Lego channels on YT, you're the one I can't help but feel makes content specifically for me. The high production values, the dedication, the music, and most of all, the deep love and understanding of Lego themes from a very special, bygone era. Here's to three more years!

[thenameless]

I discovered the slugger channel during a really hard time. Watching one of the backlog videos each day is all that really kept me sane during that period. Always something positive and carefree I could look forward to. Thank you Slugger!

The Lego dreamzzz segment stuck with me and compelled me to come back and write a comment. I agree 100% and I really am sad to see such a series come out that could have done so much more. You have to keep in mind it’s not just kids watching these shows, it’s parents watching them with their kids, I think shows that consider that and the writing reflects that are the best and probably provide the MOST rewatchability. I don’t think 8 year olds will come back to dreamzz 5 or 6 years later and feel the same way they did when they first watched it.

Thankyou RR Slugger, I've been a casual viewer since the "LEGO is retiring another colour video, and love the work you put in.

[weird_autumn]

congrats on 3 years!! looking forward to the next one

I wanna thank this channel for sounding crazy to my family and friends when ever I begin to talk about Lego as I bring up topics like "bluish gray" and "redish brown" that just makes my family and friends go "Sure Luna... sure..." because they don't know what I'm talking about.


Love your content Slugger and can't wait to see what videos you will make this year.

[brandonmcginnis]

There are days where the hope of an RR Slugger “How To Build the Rock Raiders…” video debut is all that keeps me going.

[Entertaininglylame]

Happy birthday slugger! Thank you for making content that is pure joy to watch.

[theycallmekeanu]

Your channel is truly lightning in a bottle, your talents, perspective, maturity, and lack of vitriol all packed into a channel covering my favorite era of lego. On your Toa metru video, I always associated my memories of Toa metru and with the metru line in general and realized I liked the bigger builds and didn’t really have strong feelings on the Toa themselves

[miravox]

Here’s to many more years of incredible content! Keep it up slugger, we’re rooting for you!

[imahaloguy]

When I saw the length of the video, I thought I missed a live stream! 😂 happy birthday to our favorite hairy-armed slug!

[dreamcastleTM]

ahh, you got snarky all right! a good overview of all the hot takes from this year! haha, love it. Such a good retrospective, and amazing year. thank you for doing what you do— keep it up! and can't wait for summer of slug!

[googleuser]

Fun fact: The "R.R" in Slugger's name actually stands for "R.R Slugger R.R Slugger.

[commander-fox-q]

I’ve not seen every video yet so I have a suspicion I will be coming back to this video a lot to hear the directors commentary after watching each video lol happy anniversary

[Will-ipok]

Gotta be one of if not my single favourite channel going right now. Every video and topic is treated with respect and the effort all around is incredible. Keep up the great work Slugger

[BatteryPoweredBricks]

What a coincidence, I'm also very partial to the Schrödinger's Micromotor video 😅. I had a blast helping out with that one! I think every YouTuber has been in that position of seeing the strangest videos go viral while some of their favorite videos seem to under perform for whatever reason 🤷‍♂

[loreescape]

Happy Birthday Slugger! I'm honored and humbled to be included among the many highlights here, it's been a great year. Can't wait to see more Adventurers and Model Team stuff!
