hey everyone it's been a while since I shared a look at my Lego collectable
minifigures collection so here's an update to fix that if you're fairly new
to the channel this is the room with my Lego City in it this is a project unto
itself very much a work in progress and it has been expanded over time they've
got multiple video series covering that but over time as I expanded this and
built it up I ended up with this wall that was very unsightly it was
completely plain and I wanted to put something up there I want to put some
color up there against the almost white color or basically lack of color now I
want to put some Lego up there so I put it started putting up these figures and
I'll show you exactly how I've done this display and I'll show you what's behind
there and everything you know works this is a collection of all of the official
Lego collectible minifigures series or CM FS as they are called going back to
the beginning of that official series in 2010 these are the ones that come in the
blind bags individually packed so it's supposed to be kind of a kind of a game
and a game of chance to be able to collect all of them you don't know what
you're getting but there are some tricks to be able to to kind of beat that a
little bit and this just goes chronologically from top to bottom from
2010 moving forward and then we go over a column and they just continues on down
again so the first seven series these are grouped by series so one one color
of background worth would be available at one time in one series until you get
up to series 7 which is the one with the red background there and then they skip
to the the numbering scheme when they went to this special one this is the
first special one it was to go with the 2012 London Olympics this was the Team
GB series only 9 figures there and this was only made available in the UK and
then they went back to the regular series with that regular numbering
scheme and there were special things that they've done along the way a number
of times another one that they did that was actually very infamous was this one
here with mr. golden that Center figure that I have there is
not a real mr. gold it's a very good duplicate their worry a relatively small
number of them made available and it was a whole kind of disaster behind it whole
all became about resellers finding the things to make money off of them so I
don't have a real one they cost a whole lot and that's okay
it's just got a good replica this here is another special series of the lego
movie the first lego movie original series here so they did something
different for that and they also went fully corporate co-branded here for the
first Simpsons series and you see in the next column over the second Simpsons
series based off the TV show and there are some more just regular ones in
between they did one series that was specific to Halloween so Halloween is
kind of the time of the year and the the holiday of sorts was was used as a theme
there for monsters and such and then the next column over has the most successful
co-brand version of a series air with thee the Disney series that was very
very well received and hopefully they'll be doing more of those in the future you
know including more different characters this is the the championship German
football team and the US would call it soccer but this was one that was only
made available in in Europe I don't think it was only in Germany that one
but then we go back to some regular ones the Lego Batman movie was a thing and
that has actually gotten two full series for itself and those just happened to be
side by side now as well this is the first one the batwing there was not
included in that series I just wanted to make this a little bit more of a fancy
display there's the second Batman series over there Batman movie series another
regular one and then they also had the lego ninjago movie and as we come to the
end things change up just a little bit and these are the things that I had not
put up the last time I did one of these updates that's worth and
right there now I've got the Harry Potter and Wizarding World
seriously at least the first one will they do more we shall see but this is
the first one that says the most figures today this has 22 figures most of the
series have had 16 I missed the one with mr. gold had 17 officially let's see
I've got some with 18 but with 22 there and then comparing that to this one for
the unikitty TV show on the Cartoon Network I went back down to just 12 now
this one is a little bit different and this gets the way that it's set up right
now it's a little bit temporary and it gets in to the fact that I have run out
of space but I've taken it I've already got a solution for that that was built
in here at least that was planned in the past first though as promised earlier I
want to show you exactly how these are set up what is going on here how these
are placed here and everything so if you like anything about this set up you want
to take any inspiration from it you'll know exactly where to start or at least
have some some concrete ideas so first of all each of these groups is on a
plate 32 by 32 studs in dimension which is equivalent to a Lego regular base
plate of course Lego has just regular studded ones that don't have the print
on them but they're all done like this there's a key difference between this
and this though this is a base plate it's a flexible thing and thin these are
actually cut out they're not molded they're kind of rolled in large sheets
and then they're they're cut and they're very flexible and Lego only makes a very
limited number of colors for these in the first place so I'm not using Lego
plates here I'm using pieces from a brand called Strictly Briks with a K
Bri K s Strictly Briks available on Amazon it's good quality stuff it's not
cheap knockoff stuff at all they do very good work you see nice glossy finish and
these are actual plates so the exact thickness of a regular Lego
plate like this which means that there are studs on the back or anti studs on
the back they'll allow you to attach things to the back now that's gonna be
very important for something that I'm gonna show you in a minute
but before we get to that how is it sticking now I'm able to remove it and
put it back and then just take it off well the answer is magnetism
unsurprisingly this is a whiteboard that has a little bit of metal in it it's
it's sold as a magnetic whiteboard but there is no actual magnetism to this
there's no magnet in there just has metal behind it just steel allows you to
attach things that are magnetic boo to it
there we go so to each of these I just attached four small and cheap bulk rare
earth magnets in the corners with hot glue just hot glue it's all it too just
want to make sure that those are nice and fairly flat and have some glue over
the front surface as well not just the back to stick it on there you want it to
never pull off but it's very easy to do very quick and very effective just put
one in each corner and you know different people trying this same sort
of technique might want to use different numbers or different arrangements of the
the magnets within there and then each of the figures is actually just on its
own base these little finger bases or modified tile pieces they are three by
four they come with the figures so there's there's nothing special to that
those come with each figurin you can do the same thing with other other regular
plates as well and tiles but you need something with studs on it but this will
just fit naturally into the space between studs or I just line this up
where it was before just push it right in there no glue is required no magnet
is required there and that's just an intrinsic fact of the design of LEGO
pieces you can do that at any time that's
it's not strictly a a legal building technique but it's one that's well known
and has actually been used in some official Lego sets in the in the past
and it does work it doesn't do any serious damage to the pieces you will
get a little bit of rubbing just along the edges of the studs or not even this
the studs but where the the studs on the plate are can cause just a little bit of
abrasion or rolling around the corners so you if you want to keep these plates
in mint condition for life you don't want to use this technique here and
that's why Lego doesn't allow that technique to be used in official sets
anymore but for something like this where it's just a display I'm not even
using official Lego pieces in the background anyway it it works out just
fine and then with the studs facing out towards you you can attach all sorts of
things in similar similar ways if need be like this right here is attached with
just a little modified 1x1 see if I can get that to focus up closer here we go
modified 1 by 1 plate with the clip on the side you can just kind of stick that
in there exactly the same way just offset a little bit other things can be
attached more simply and that's how that works now obviously I have run out of
space and I would not have been able to put this unikitty series on there if I
didn't already have a plan for moving beyond just this space without actually
taking up any more space so this is another of the same thing in this
particular case I've layered two of those plates on top of each other and
caused a little bit of war but that's just something that it always happens
with with real LEGO pieces and we have plates that are too large they will
start to pull themselves in one direction but it's really no big deal
here I just wanted to have that effect just to make it look a little bit more
candy like this one is able to fit offset and all of these will eventually
be able to to fit and take up more space than the the size of this this
whiteboard itself because I've just added little extensions on back little
risers with magnets in them as again just using hot glue to attach them
and that allows me to move beyond the borders basically the points where this
is being magnetically attached to the surface behind or offset to the inside
so I can move this farther out I could actually have just set up a nice small
little square in the center that would have allowed me to move these even
farther out but I think this is enough I can always move them later if I want but
you know just imagine if had just said oh four by four maybe a six by six
couple of plates set up there or yeah I think that would be enough just a couple
plates stacked on top of each other would be enough but you know you do need
to have more than one point of contact so that this will not just slide off on
its own but yeah I can as it isn't how sorry about the terrible sound behind
there it's like almost like a chuck chuck board sound but I can slide these
far off beyond the edges and I think I could even yeah you even do like that
they don't even need to be attached by all of the points there and this one
even as I showed previously has has a warp in it so the flatter ones will
attach even better but that's gonna allow me to fit in an entire extra row
of nine down here on the base and at least one additional column so thirteen
more of these plates will fit into the same space without having to add any
more white boards and you'll see that as future ones come in as future full
series come in own be converting all of my plates over to use this this stand
off set up so oh these will be standing out without using the double thick
plates yeah it only needs one because all of these again have that the anti
studs on the back and that's all you need and again Strictly Briks I'm not
trying to advertise for them have no relationship with him whatsoever I've
just bought some of their products and their products are good they do make
some plates that are not square so they have some circular ones and also some I
think some triangular ones I think some of the ones that they do are actual base
plates so you want to look out for make sure you don't get the thin things
make sure you get the actual plates but you know you can you can have fun with
this stuff since it's against just a magnetic backdrop like that you know
just allows you to do different things and you know maybe you don't want to use
a magnet set up like this so I use some double-sided tape or something that can
work as well just make sure you're not gonna do damage to a wall if you ever
want to replace things and you're putting this directly up against a wall
but hopefully this gives you some ideas on how you could do some things with
your own figures or even not figures you could attach just regular models as I
did with the the Batman the Lego Batman movie
batwing there's all sorts of things that you can do with this sort of setup so
hope that was interesting and that's it for that collection if I counted
correctly it's a little shy of four hundred and fifty figures that are on
display here and over the coming months as we move on to additional series I
will add little risers behind all of these all the plates and this will
continue to expand and you'll see more and more of these showing up or the
coming years actually this should stick around and continue to work with this
basic design for quite some time to come so thanks for watching I hope you enjoy
this and I'll talk to you again soon
you
