Someone recommended their new favorite LEGO youtube channel (Emmasaurus) on another thread. Thought why not start a place so that others can share their faves with others, discover new ones, and/or chat about it all? 

Please consider that eventually that the faces behind these channels and websites are people with feelings. AND they may eventually stumble upon this thread AND we all have varying opinions and expectations of such channels and websites. Some search for reviews, others for investment discussions, for moc ideas, etc. 

I'll kick it off by saying that Emmasaurus is NOT my fave BUT her videos are positive and better than most I've seen.

I'll admit I've "listened" to a few while sorting LEGO. She's upbeat and positive which can benefit us all (promoting others to buy and collect). 

My two new faves are:

HighTeaToys (mostly Harry Potter and LOTR)

And Hachiroku24 (great small moc builds)

Took long enough after all those "LEGO is better than gold" articles for the hustle culture to latch on. Every online grifter has used this same webpage layout with a few interchangeable words and colors. At least it isn't a course on cryptocurrency ....or an OnlyFans.

That's a hard pass.

Spoiler Alert they both picked the same set and not only the best set of 2023 the best set I have ever built for any year it is that good. 
 

 

 

Turns out that all you need to be successful at LEGO investing is a time machine to go back to when people weren't touting LEGO investing on YouTube.

Thanks for this.  I've watched quite a few of these and find them hilarious.  The upper decker one is my favorite so far.

This poor guy.

So this guy isn't reviewing Lego sets when he doesn't get them for free?  I didn't watch any of these paid shills, they all sound like a bunch of entitled, whiny gashes. 

Jang for life.

Bigger issue will be obtaining set early enough to be first with review video although clearly being too quick is what landed him in doodoo.  So much drama in the LAN.

Typical YouTuber behavior 

“It will drive you insane.”

Yes, you have made that quite apparent.

Have given a couple a spin and would not waste 5 minutes of my life on these garbage videos....

That guy has all kinds of first-world problems to deal with.  Also, I'm not so sure that he's as cool with getting put on probation as he is trying to come across as being.
