Hey Aluxers, what was your first experience with LEGO? Does it have that nostalgia factor for you too?

[globalist]

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?

Created in 1949 and made the switch to plastic in 1947?

Didn't even make it through a minute, virtually everything you said was wrong.

Since I'm Danish Lego has been something I have known my whole life. My parents grew up with Lego as did I and of course my kids did as well. Lego is just a toy every one knows as a part of there childhood here in Denmark.

The slogan is: Only the best is good enought, not only the best is the best.

[MrFlameMinecraftandMore]

You lied to me. I knew every fact! also 7 is not true, it really depends on the type of brick, a 2x2 has way less combinations than a 4x16

[venomduckling]

5:00 the Allianz Arena is in Munich, not in Berlin

[redlegobrick]

Make 100 things Alux gets wrong. You can probably make 3 parts of it. ATLEAST.

[redlegobrick]

The saying isn't "Only the best is the best." It's "Only the best is good enough."

[mikegibney]

In it's early days, lego did make a toy gun. It was modeled after a small framed semi auto that shot out small projectiles when the trigger was pulled. It was a patented design but they did not continue it long

[circuitt]

1:38 “Not very many.”

Not very many?

NOT VERY MANY?

*NOT VERY MANY?*

*N O T V E R Y M A N Y?*


MY CRUST HAS BEEN UNSTUFFED BY THIS PHRASE IN THIS VIDEO, HOW DARE YOU, *A L U X*

[hbcreates]

Isn't it “only the best is good enough” not “only the best is best” ?

[MachoChacho]

They make your smart, IT makes you smart.

[nicholmansgarage]

Lego actually has changed their design. They did not originally have tubes to hold them together.

[JakBane]

*Only the best is good enough*

[whyyes]

There is lightsabers, guns, turrets, in Star Wars Lego sets and minifigure bags. There are also military figures in sets.

[balajilego]

I would build the tallest LEGO tower surpassing the current record

[OriginalWaybackMate]

who else got a Lego ad before watching this?

[brata]

Number seven is wrong, because it i very many diffrent bricks in Lego. Six 1x1 (3005) bricks have just 1 combinations as I can tell. According to Bricklink`s database it is 82 diffrent bricks, but then it is some of them that just is a transparent or frosted version of other bricks. Lego have produced very, very, very many diffrent parts as baseplates and tiles, but because they just counted bricks in this video I don`t counted with all the parts.
