LEGO’s Weird Obsessions…

Here's an obvious Lego obsession: Lego loves putting their stud shooters in as many sets as possible, especially Star Wars. And they tend to put them in sets that don't really need them

Not necessarily an obsession or super versatile, but i love that Mjolnir finds itself into a bunch of sets as stone bricks

I bought the Bonsai tree just to have something chill for the holidays, and when I opened it up and saw all the frogs I was baffled and loved it too.

Another obsession I remember, was Lego would place a coffee mug or coffee maker, into every set possible. But maybe that was just the Lego city sets.

Lego has a strange obsession with bricks. I see them in almost every set 🤔

The brown carrots in Indiana Jones weren't just clubs. They were also used as torches in the Well of Souls.

Frogs were used as the helmet hooks in 2009’s Modular Building Series Fire Brigade so that table wasn’t the first use of frogs for something other than a frog.

Lego frogs is the best Easter egg that no one can hide it from you

one of my worst nightmares as a kid was a brown lego frog sitting menacingly on top of a window

Lego factory manager: "DAVE!!" Dave: "yeah?" "You left the mold machine on all night!!" "i did?" "what are we going to do with all these frogs, sausages, banana, carrots!?" 😂

Just saying, I'm starting to think that Lego has this obsession with 2x2 bricks. They're in so many sets.

"Why is LEGO obsessed with the frog, sausage, carrot, and banana pieces?" Because plastic molds are expensive and the more use they get out of them, the more they earn back on that investment.

Another reason for the abundance of Batmans (Batmen?) is the fact that before the DC Superheroes line LEGO had a standalone Batman theme from 2006 to 2008.

That Bonsai tree set turned out really nice, but it was SO PAINFUL to put together. The cherry blossom branches alone took me over 30 minutes. Worth it tho :)

It makes sense that Batman is so popular compared to other superheroes, because both him and his rogues love their vehicles, gadgets, and cool lairs. When you think of the Joker, you think of abandoned theme parks; when you think of Penguin, you think of the Iceberg Lounge. You don’t really get that for many other heroes or villains, so you don’t get as many ideas for sets

Ah, I'm so glad that The Ambush in Cairo set was mentioned! I remember losing that brown carrot piece for the longest time when I was young, but did end up finding it!

In the last Jurassic Park wave, each set had a different color frog integrated somehow. The brown one was part of the poop pile Dr Saddler dug through. The Batman thing I think is two fold. One is that he is a very recognized character. Two is that he had more vehicles and gadgets than anyone else, thus easier to make sets for. And I always loved how in Lego City Adventures the Mayor dressed as corn with no explanation. I always thought a good joke would have been if the two political parties in Lego City were The Veggie Party and the Animal Party. Thus everyone running for office wore a vegetable or animal costume. And rather than actual politics they used something more basic. The veggies, like Mayor Flek focused on hard work, while the Animals just talked about how cool they were for picking their animal costume.

I really love the frogs as the table legs in the joust set. Their shape fits the whole look of those weird curvy legs that some tables have so well

Nobody ever mentions the frog pieces being used in the modular fire station set back in 2009 as hat hooks. That was way before the jousting set mentioned in the video!
