xboxtravis7992 Posted April 4, 2016 Their fruit salad episode was funny! And now I know what a Minifig looks like being smooshed... Lego Movie 2 nightmare scene Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted April 4, 2016 They should have instrumented it with strain gauges. Now I'm curious how much force before the bricks start to deformed. I used to get to crush concrete cylinders made from various batches of concrete. It's a lot of fun. Be sure to wear your safety glasses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that you mention it, I wonder if TLG has one of these in their factory for quality control tests. It wouldn't surprise me if Lego took every 10,000th figure and smooshed it to check its quality and ability to resist damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tech Artist Posted April 5, 2016 As painful as it was to watch, I found it to be a great video. It was interesting to see how Lego would hold up. Also it was kinda funny at the same time. Mainly how the Minifigure heads look afterwards. xD But yes. Painful to see good Lego destroyed. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jluck Posted April 5, 2016 I love that channel, but with this new video it's gotten a little dark for my tastes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Gallifreyan Cat Posted April 5, 2016 This is like what I do to megabloks, but without the hydraulic press. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tech Artist Posted April 5, 2016 This is like what I do to megabloks, but without the hydraulic press. Sledge hammer? Car? Or watch them melt in a nice bonfire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takanuinuva Posted April 5, 2016 I can already hear Emmet screaming in pain At least some of the parts survived and that minifigure hand is still useable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AmperZand Posted April 5, 2016 The makers of that video missed a trick. They should have said: "No, Mr Brick, I expect you to die!" Kudos if you get the reference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junior Shark Posted April 5, 2016 Nooo! As disgusting as this is, it's still cool to know that Lego bricks can withstand a lot before collapsing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tariq j Posted April 5, 2016 The makers of that video missed a trick. They should have said: "No, Mr Brick, I expect you to die!" Kudos if you get the reference. I'm guessing that's the guy who ranted on about AFOLs. In which case I agree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmperZand Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Nooo! As disgusting as this is, it's still cool to know that Lego bricks can withstand a lot before collapsing. We already knew that LEGO can withstand considerable force. On average, a 2x2 brick can resist 4240 Newtons (equivalent to 950 pounds) before deforming.

A Gallifreyan Cat Posted April 5, 2016 Sledge hammer? Car? Or watch them melt in a nice bonfire. I like putting them in a vice and slowly tightening it, and watching the low-quality plastic slowly get squished. But I have also tried burning them and a few other fun, evil things.
