    Lego is such a generous company giving away all these pieces for “free” 😊
  • @Gamebryo
    To me, the extra pieces are kind of a complimentary “repair kit”, so if a small piece falls off of your set, you have another one of those pieces to “repair” your set with
  • From my experience as a huge lego collector, I’ve always either put the extra pieces in a ziplock bag and inside the empty box or into my sterilite’s sorted by colour. I feel extra pieces are only useful when food or parts for a Lego CMF Box or blind bag. I barely incorporate them into Mocs, etc. Awesome video optimistic BTW, it’s really good to see you keep up the consistency!
  • The way I use them is 1) improve the set with them; 2) stack them all in one big thing; 3) throw them in the bin (or put them back in the Advent Calendar door and forget about it)
    You remind me of TD Bricks, but calmer. I like that. Keep up the good work.👍
  • @h2owl205
    I always sort my extras into my parts storage for potential later use. You have no idea how much money I’ve saved from not needing to buy certain parts from bricklink all because I’ve saved some smaller/useful parts
  • I got that Santa's sleigh set a couple years back, and I had a leftover 3-length bar, Lightsaber handle, and frosting piece, all gold, so I stuck them together to give Santa a magic staff.
  • I just keep a pile of extra pieces on my desk. gotta keep the collection growing
  • @johnnysharp2899
    As yes, I love sitting down at my table to have a drink and eat some gelatin squares.
  • @JBRICKSw
    Sometimes, small pieces won't print or won't be sealed, and that's why LEGO makes extra pieces.
  • @kaijavaisanen32
    Extra pieces are there because if u lost some pieces, and u don't find them, u can use Extra pieces! 😊
  • Met this guy IRL. Dope content creator with a bright future ahead of him!!!!!!
  • So from what I understand, the Lego company adds extra pieces that aren’t needed just to make their sets weigh the proper amount that way the machines always stay calibrated and don’t make mistakes. It’s easy for them to calibrate the bigger pieces but the smaller pieces that don’t weigh much at all, they can’t be safe. They always put an extra.
  • @timehunter9467
    The spares being the same in sets are often the way I double check I’ve not missed a step. I’ll get suspicious of all the spare parts but it’s always a relief when a a speed build of the set has the same.

    1:08 that's not a skyscraper that's a floorscraper🤣🤣🤣
  • @LittleSpoon5
    The extra pieces are based on weight, not size so….
  • @Unh1ngedM0nst3r
    i always do this, i took a ton of technic peices and studs to make a space ship
  • 6:07 I used to do this! I don't do it as much anymore. Sometimes, I still find my extra pieces that are still connected to each other. One time, I even got an extra sticker sheet in a Ninjago set.
  • I love building Lego guns out of the extra pieces I get, and they turn out awesome!
