What are your favourite YouTube LEGO channels?

happyskunky

These are some of the ones I like but I am sure there are more that I am missing out there.   I would like to see which ones you like :smile:

AFOL MAN ( youtube.com/user/cookslawncare/videos )

Beyond the brick (youtube.com/user/BeyondTheBrickTV/videos )

BrickTsar (outube.com/user/BrickTsar/videos ) 

Evan TubeHD ( youtube.com/user/EvanTubeHD/videos )

JANGBRiCKS ( youtube.com/user/LEGOJANG/videos )

and I really really love watching

Brick Builder putting the sets together!  For some reason this is very entertaining to me

( youtube.com/user/brickbuilder23/videos )

Have a wonderful day / night!!

Jangbricks is my favourite, easily. The others just don't have that same feel of quality to them, excluding Evan. Of course there is The Brick Show but you've said the ones I watch.

I don't like watching other people put sets together that I plan on buying and building. Seems to take some of the magic away from building. Now watching a review is different. Those have actually swayed my decision on buying a set right away or holding off a bit.

sir_Bricksalot

For me the only one i watch is the brick show - great effort by the bothers if you ask me.  Heard that Jangbricks is better for an AFOL in terms of getting the salient points across.  Thats this weeks watching taken care of.

natro220

Jangbricks is best hands down.  His voice is very soothing, and he is extremely knowledgeable as well.  He's swayed me one way or another to buy a set or not on several occasions.

The Brick Show for me is the perfect example of 'Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
It's... well let's just say it's not for me and leave it at that.

Ahhh man, show the brothers a little love. :smile: 

Does anyone know of any decent UK based Lego channels btw?  Would love to start one up myself but it would be a pretty short run venture given I'm still getting back into my Lego groove so only have 5 sets to review.

Madaboutlego is from the UK and they tend to focus on the sets ranther than reviews. I had a similar though that it would be great to start a UK lego channel,  would be great to see some more mate

markobricklego

Madaboutulego is good. Brick 101, JangBricks.. I am making my videos, I am making videos for kids. You can check it out on my channel. you can give me feed back of whats wrong and wright on my videos, i would be verry thankful 

Bricklover18

just2good and JangBricks are great.

Dr. Brick :D New stop motion builder

tecjam

Jang! There is not really any competition!

The Brick Show is alright, but there is vast room for improvement in pretty much every way (sound, video, lighting, editing ...).

I do sometimes watch Brickbuilder for some of the older sets I do not own.

xwingpilot

I enjoy watching JANGBRiCKS and also the LEGO Designer Videos.

sir_Bricksalot

i just started watching a few solid brix studios videos.  Have to say I'm a fan :)  That Kashyyk is pretty epic!

JudgeChuck

Yup, JANGBRiCKS for me as well... He should drop the M*** B***** though, as it obviously gets in the way of his progress on NewJANG City... ;-)

The Designer videos on The LEGO Group's channel are, of course, well worth watching, as mentioned above.

JK Brickworks and akiyuky are also worth looking at for their MOCs / GBCs, though they're not review channels by any means!

I do watch The Brick Show from time to time, but they're a bit, ahem, "brash Yank" for my tastes... ;-)

I'm sorry, but I cannot stand channels fronted by precocious children, so Evan Whatshisface is right out... ;-)

markobricklego

Try my channel, im new, give me a chance :)

Dr_Brick

what do you think ? doing my best and try to improve

richo

I know this sounds terribly discerning and fussy, but am yet to come across any Lego YouTube channel I really enthusiastically like. I did just watch a couple of jangbricks vids and they were pretty well done, nice clean pictures and descriptions. 

I would love love to see some licensed sets carefully evaluated against footage from the relevant franchise for accuracy etc, not sure if this would be allowed with copyright, I have no idea.

I liked it!  There was a Youtube Lego channel like this but every new piece there was a clicking noise that drove me nuts so I stopped watching.  Your the alternative with some nice music which I appreciate.

MattDawson

Jangbricks and Just2Good are my go-tos, but I also watch Brick Builder for speed builds to see what the set is like for assembly.

Thecollector123

My favorite channel would probably be Bricktsar because I am a huge vintage Lego fan!

TheLoneTensor

@drdavewatford pretty please fix title

LordCrom

BrickVault and Just2Good are right up there with Jangbricks in my opinion. 

Kevin_Hyatt

Best YouTube channel by far is Sheffield LEGO User Group!
(If you're into seeing what's on Sheffield LEGO Store PAB wall anyway :) )

Lego_Dad

Playwell Bricks, oh wait, that is my channel. So, okay, maybe I am be just a little biased...

I would say it is a toss up between Ellie V and Jangbricks, I find myself watching them even if I am not interested in the sets.

Gremer

My two favorites are Rebel Builder and BrickVault. I get Jang's appeal, but I'm not a big fan.

BeyondTheHod

Can I politely put forward my own channel here?
I don't do reviews or anything, just stop motion builds. Any feedback or thoughts would be great and if you like them enough to subscribe then you will be adding a little spark of joy to my day :)

FowlerBricks

Jangbricks, Titan Pictures and Brotherhood Workshops.

datsunrobbie

My grandson watches a lot of Hobby Kids TV on YouTube, this one is by far his favorite video involving LEGO. 

redarmy

Brickbuilder for me...

OrmskirkBricks

JangBricks is my first stop, then some of the other stuff listed above.

my dirty secret is GillyBricks who does Lepin vs Lego reviews!

sid3windr

Jang all the way. I'm also subscribed to BrickTsar but I only watch those very intermittently. For new sets I actively seek out Jang's videos.

This new parody channel is hilarious! 11/10! This is exactly the kind of individual this community needs more of! Not that we don’t have them however he has a huge presence on YouTube and totally deserves it. He’s pretty much crushed every other channel down due to is outstanding production quality and constrictive thoughts. Glad we have him in our community even though he only pops up time to time on the Brickset. It’s quite hilarious and amusing how he’s recently started to parody other LEGO content of YouTube, he’s earned it given dramatic contrast between this and his traditional content and that’s why it works so well. Bravo Jang! (Or should I say Gnaj...)

The problem with parodies is that they are funny for the first few, but then if too many are done they become what they are parodying.

GNAJBRicKS was a pleasant surprise. The fact that Jang is one of the most serious Lego Youtubers makes his parody videos even funnier to watch!

Game_on

Just like a lot of people in this thread, Jang is on my list of Youtubers I watch for Lego reviews.  I also like his parody channel as well.

The Brick Show and Brick Vault are also channels I subscribe too.

I watched a video from The Brick Show earlier after reading this thread. Something about "The #1 Reason why LEGO sales are declining". Several minutes into the video, he still hadn't told me and was waffling on about how I'm going to laugh when I hear it. I never did find out...

Fauch

he thinks it's because of roblox. because he sees all the kids spending their time on roblox and not lego. but then, there have been many virtual sources of enternainment that children spent a lot of time on in recent years and it didn't stop Lego from achieving amazing results.

omnium

Thanks for explaining. Roblox. I didn't laugh. But then, I had to google it ;-)
But I see what you mean - kids play computer games and play LEGO interchangeably. Just like they do with Minecraft or any other fad game/toy.
When I was a kid, I didn't only have LEGO, I had Action Man and other toys too.

Sure, that's true but you can't given a hard time for trying something totally opposite to his normal content. I do hope he doesn't post regularly, maybe when there is a lack of content for his main channel etc.

Fauch

from what I understood roblox is about making your own game or playing other people creation, kind of a simplified game engine I guess, so I guess it is likely to appeal to Lego fans (and vice versa), after all I spend most of my time doing either Lego builds or game development.

Humdrum

Other than the usual names already mentioned in this thread I'd like to add BrickBros UK. They offer good quality reviews and other items like alternate builds. The slightly monotonous way of reviewing can both be a plus or a negative though.

Other channels I visit now and then:
- AlNickelFilms: stop motion films (adventures in classic space is my favourite)
- Fancy Pants: stop motion
- AKPstudios: stop motion
- This Old Lego Brick: city layout with height differences
- Mark Cotter: Maryville city, probably one of the largest private layouts I know of.

SirBrickalotOfLego

Apologies if there’s a thread similar to this, but I was wondering what’s everyone’s opinions on Lego Youtubers?

I think I’m not alone when I say Jangbricks is a fantastic YouTuber with exceptional quality videos. He’s probably my favourite Lego channel, although I still do have some issues with him. For example, he’s very rude when it comes to how he wants to present his city and comes across quite bigoted sometimes, but I understand it’s his and he can do what he wants with it.

As for other YouTubers, let’s talk about Just2Good. Never have I encountered such a whining pessimist in all my life (I realise the irony in that statement as I type!). To give an example, watch his rant video on CMF series 18.

You may think I’m being harsh, and perhaps I am, especially considering I probably couldn’t do any better. But as an avid viewer I think my opinion is worth hearing. 

What’s your view on Lego Youtubers? Who else do you watch?

dmcc0

@SirBrickalotOfLego Jangbricks is also a favourite of mine, but not sure what you mean about him being rude about his city - as in he doesn't take on opinions/suggestions of others as to what he should do with it?

Quite like Beyond the Brick too, mostly to see some of the fantastic MOCs they showcase at various shows.

Have watched a few others, including just2good, Brickbros UK etc but to be honest I've not come across any that are as good as Jang.  Usually I get annoyed by either the bad production quality or annoying accents on most of the stuff I watch!    

Mr_Cross

My son and I enjoy Jang's reviews, but don't tend to watch his new jang city stuff. We also watch ALFs (Austrian LEGO fan) speed builds.

As for Jang himself and his own stuff, I think it's his city and he can do what he wants. Everyone else's ideas are surplus and he should be free to incorporate that which he wants and ignore the rest. The problem is that some people don't take 'no' for an answer on the internet and I think he's had a fair amount of fanatics impose their uninvited opinions quite forcefully, I doubt I'd be any less rude or offhand in his position, especially when faced with the umpteenth nut-job that day.
From what I've watched I generally think he's quite calm and measured in what he says, so I'd say the instances of him being fairly curt are perhaps just him having a bad day.

SirBrickalotOfLego

@dmcc0 it’s just the tone in which he says it, come across a bit condescending, but as @Mr_Cross said it’s probably just him on an off day.

Fauch

I watch jangbricks and like him, but one thing I don't like is when he explains some of the mechanisms.

"if you push on that part, right here, that part I'm very glad they didn't make bright red with glowing arrows pointing to it, if you press on it, it will apply a force and that force will be transmitted to that projectile that will be thrown in the air in a very nice arc..."

god, I can see it's a catapult... just operate it and be done with it. at least that something the brick show does better, they just shoot some random fig and you get the point.

I don't know if he got mentionned often, but I watch Sariel too because he reviews technic stuff.

This irritates me too, he seems to praise the fact that there’s no bright red button more than there actually is so I don’t know why he makes such a fuss of it!

SearchlightRG

I go to Jang for set reviews. For entertainment Brotherhood Workshop is pretty awesome, though their channel has pretty much died. Of course, they’re now official LEGO employees so it worked out for them.

I’ve come to feel the same way about J2G. I used to love his channel, but then came all the complaining.
