Smuggling in the secret Bay... - Lego City Update

In today's Lego City update it's time for some storytelling - I'll also show you what I've been working on together with my brother over the past months!

If I lived in this city, I would definitely use that rocky part by the beach with the dense trees to smuggle my illegal building techniques

This is the most comforting series of all time. Never stop expanding your city!!! ❤

[PugCuber]

I don’t think you truly understand how thankful your English speaking viewers are for all the English commentary the last year.

We really do appreciate you, Marcus. 🙂

Small elements I think would look nice in the docks:
Drying fishing nets
People fishing with rods
Someone who's dropped something into the water

Love how the story is expanding all the time.

Idea: you should hook up a sewer drain poking out of a cliff and have a prisoner crawling out of it like he escaped jail.

things to add:
- hospital + ambulance(?)
- fire station
- power generation area (solar pannel array or even wind turbine moc? Turbines are big enough that a lego motor could fit into the generator section of the turbine at minifig scale)
- skiing mountain :o
- beach

When I was a kid, I had a dream about buying an abandoned hangar or something, and filling it all with lego. Like different cities with airports, a sea, underwater stuff etc. This man is almost living my childhood dream! :P

When you panned over to the waiter with even more pizzas, got a real laugh from me. Great additions, and I love the little stories. The two basketball players is so simple, but adds so much to the life of the town.

Also another idea for the museum - you could add motorized rods in each of the corners of the buildings that would raise the roof once every few minutes or so - that way the audience can see inside the buildings 😊

You always been the main Lego builder that’s I’ve followed! Your work is incredible and insanely detailed! Keep it up man🙌

[BrentBestwick]

For the record, I appreciate how the colors of the restaurant tablecloths coordinate with colors of the outside window awnings, so that stood out to me more than a chessboard effect.

Now that I've been watching your series for a while, I enjoy when you pan across the city and I see a detail and think "I was there when we added that" even though I'm just sitting at a computer vicariously experiencing this whole thing :)

With the addition of the new squirrel piece I feel you can make a really fun side story about squirrels trying to take over the city. Or a squirrel underground crime ring. 😂😂 it can be like a squirrel version of the counterfeit money story. Maybe there’s even a giant walnut heist at a store or something 😅

[martinlentz-nielsen]

Love this episode - like all your episodes! I have a small idea - you could put a small round tile in the barrel by the police officer, so that the audience can see that it is money in the barrel and not just something green 😊

Can’t wait to see the city in the new location 👍

[michaelbonet]

Something interesting for these MOCs when you get them all moved could be a sort of Where’s Waldo checklist (maybe with pictures) of the various stories that people can find throughout the city, so they can have fun spotting stuff. And if you tell them ahead of time that there is stuff to look for, people will see the city’s story as having some intentionality to it. You could also direct people to the various stages of the counterfeit story similar to the board game Micro Macro.

Man muss wirklich die harte Arbeit und das Engagement lieben, die in diese Stadt gesteckt werden, es ist hart, gleichzeitig an einem Museum und einer Lego-Stadt zu arbeiten.

[mrlegobrick]

Love the story telling around this city! Just gives it so much life. Would love to come and play and make some stop motions in your city!

[Memoquin]

The really interesting thing about this immense build (to me anyway) is that no matter how much Lego you have, someone always has the part you don’t have. I’ve got a huge amount of Lego, no where near this amount, but I’ve got a huge amount of variety. Even basketballs!
I need to make some time to build something soon.

[adamkehoe]

for the sunrise I would suggest a lighter shade of Orange, and for sunset, a darker shade of Orange.
On the video, it appears Pink and Purple.

[DannysBrickfilms]

This is so awesome - probably the best I've seen!
