What if it FAILS or I RUN OUT OF SPACE?

You could always send the Brick heads to the charity shop to free up space..? 😂 Seriously, with you for the ride as we are planning the same scale or larger project in Germany, but for ww2 landscape and vehicle storage

Have you thought of just moving the whole lego city forward and extending at the back?

Don't forget if you light your city, the time that would take.

make a ocean and incorpete the jaws set and place your pirates ships with a battle scene. Make a huge lego moutain to place the new goonies set when it comes out.

If you ever did run out of space you can just create a mezzanine above your existing city. Can add lights and then hang airplanes etc from the ceiling above the existing city. And it would give you a duplicate footprint above then

Star Wars Lego City?

Rotating Diorama - I've seen a rotating model train diorama, the train was going round and looked like it was stationary as the layout moved round

I feel like you could increase the diorama table size towards the back, then connect it to the city, so that the city becomes bigger. IMO connecting them gives more life to the display tables than just having standalone unconnected dioramas.

Great video, you will be fine you have multiple options.

Loosing the shelves feels bad 🥲. Best of both and Star Wars diorama?

I'm only asking because I honestly don't know the answer to these questions. No disrespect is meant - at all. I love your channels and everything you stand for. If you were to open up your location to become a museum, how would you keep people from stealing your stuff? You have some extremely valuable mini-figures with your sets and some of your displays are small enough for people to steal. The same would go for your LEGO City. How would you keep people from disfiguring your hard work or simply destroying it? Not everyone has good intentions when they go to places. If they don't have the money for things but see an opportunity to steal it from retailers, a lot of people do just that. You cannot be everywhere or watch everyone as they come in. It's just not humanely possible. Could you put locked glass display doors on your shelving units as a deterrent? As I said before, I mean no disrespect. I have worked in plenty of brick-and-mortar retail stores and know all about theft. I would hate to see anything happen to all of your hard work and investment.

Much love and respect to you, Mrs. Bricksie, Benjamin, Millie, and of course, all of your fur babies.

Imagine picking a scene from starwars and recreating it with lego, I don’t mean just a little scene I mean a huge scene . Cool tfs

Still plenty of space above AND below the city to expand! Deep ocean... deep caves.. planes flying.. SPACE SHIPS xD endless possibilities!

You could always extend the mezzanine floor and turn it all into two floors 👍

what about rebuiliding your Diagon alley / kncoturn Alley in your city? please add HOgwarts and quiddicth stadium PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

it would appear some skyscrapers in the city need to be replaced with other skyscrapers such as the cube building with a spiral tilt cube to the top.

Start buying the neighboring units :) no need to move just knock down walls and expand.

Dibs on Marvel and Disney sets if you ever sell them lol

Hi Bricksie
Just my advice.
Your main income comes from YT? Try to establish other income sources that YT is less than a third of your income. If it fails, which could happen quickly, the impact can be compensated.

Wish you all the best

You have used your studio space amazingly. Never say never...maybe in the distance future you may open another location. It's good to dream.

Have ever think about making ninja and winter village as different town? And medieval table as island to your ciry

Another question you should be asking yourself is "What if LEGO fails me?"... Lego could be going slowly downhill... Every drop these days, it seems like they are pushing their luck, raising prices... You have to think that at one point, the popularity and buyers will start going down because of it... And with that going down, your channel will too...

Not enjoying building sets is the perfect time to build MOC's for your city...I think you, like me, like working on the city because you are building what you see in your head...apply that to MOC building...with sets you follow instructions and everyones finished set looks the same...if you are building MOC's for your city you are in essence still working on your city...for a while now you occasionally bring up how you should start building MOC's and i think the time is now...i get it how there are thousands of different pieces available in all different colors so you will never have all the parts you need so maybe learn Studio 2.0 and build your MOC's on that first...there is nothing like sitting down with a bucket of parts and unleashing your creativity but Studio 2.0 is still enjoyable once you learn how to use it...give it a shot

You could build small dioramas around each of your sets where they sit. Another idea, you could make small dioramas in each of the cubbies under your diorama tables or the ucs tables. Look around you can build small things in all your nooks and crannies.

oh man, you won't run out of work. once the footprint of the city is maxed out, you're improvement and additional detailing of the city over time would be a great direction.

Lego sets are boring compared to actual afol creations. You should do your own MOCs and get creative...if your ambassadorship allows for that? I don't think you're running out of room anytime soon... I think you should embrace your originality and the true meaning of lego is to take it apart and 'play well' rather than have a bunch of dust collectors on a shelf...which is what a lot of afols are guilty of....being impressive is not the same thing as being original...

No matter what happens to the lego studio. Excited to see the journey!

this whole time i didn't know you had 2 channels... wow now i have more videos to watch😭😂

If someone, like you, has that experience, skill and vision... it is like money on bank. If I own Lego, i wake up and ask you to make new sets for everyone to build

Don't forget one of most things that will consume a lot of your Lego time in the next coming years. And that are your children growing up and all that comes with that. Going to school, help with learning thing, going sports, dad time who has to be there with them, or have dad time at home, etc, etc...Not to put you down, but to be aware that will cost a lot of time too.

You can build dioramas inside the enclosed shelving. Building Tatooine or the space

You can still do a museum richt know easy money cash for more Lego to expend love it

Hi! Whenever it will be finished (city probably never), the museum thing is very convinient possibility. Maybe not every day but two days a week.

Have you thought abiut going 3D if you run out of spce ? Continuing the lego city at the same heigth as the mezzanine for some kind of "mountain village" even if you don't run out of space, it'd be crazy to have part of you city at the heigth of the mezzanine in the little square between the stairs and door connecting to the rest of the city with a mountain road. You could make some kind of "access tunnel"(1meter wide walkway) to get to the stairs

Well definitely start to invest in your future (retirement) I hope you are doing that already.

He's gonna run out of space when he's going too fast. He always want to go fast because he's impatient

Or if you fail you can just go back to your family coin shop =)

Make 1 display room a revolving diorama of Lego themes that you build and tear down. Themes throughout Lego's history (Monster Hunters, Western, Minecraft, Pirates, Ninjago, etc...)

In this situation you can’t infinitely build dioramas in a finite space. Eventually room will run out.

What I do is rotate what I’m displaying depending on how I feel at that point in my life so I keep things fresh and I never run out of room.

And any parts I’m not using anymore I just sell on bricklink

It would be cool for the centre of your shelve rooms to have the sets turned into a diorama eg Star Wars battle with the shops or avengers battle with those sets

Hi Jordan. Excuse me, a big curiosity: where you gonnna place the bigger winter village you have ever done? I'm waiting for that since now :)

As appealing as continuously making more dioramas is, I think the practical future is dynamically updating and evolving a set number of dioramas. That ensures nothing becomes stale or static. Plan to deconstruct elements of the dioramas every year and build new installments. Just like a real city. Nothing stands forever, nor should it in LEGO world. Then the LEGO city perpetually evolves over time and people will keep coming to watch you for same reason they come now. This isn’t train modeling which has more permanence, it’s LEGO. Play comes from building and to a lesser extent from interaction with the completed product.

If you ever went the open to public museum route, it’d have to be interactive. There is exponentially greater interest in interactive museums than there is “look, don’t touch” museums.

Silly question maybe but will this space ever be open to the public ?

100% you will run out of space one day.

If all else fails - sell all your Lego collections and live off the profits…

Of course whatever it is will end.

That is a HUGE investment you have in your basement. What is it worth and what will you do with it when it ends? What will you have achieved?

Do you know how much you have spent and what it's liquidation value is?
