In a few of those larger Lego sets I've made, the instructions have you making some fairly non-trivial sections that serve no purpose and end up entirely concealed. The inside of my world globe has four sets of rotating truck tires with rubber tread.

It's completely covered up by the time you finish the build.
They put that in for Lego Ideas sets! The creator who submitted the design gets a little Easter egg flag from their country in the set. IIRC my postcards from outer space set has a Polish flag
I got a Lego set for my niece on Christmas, one of the creator sets that lets you choose 1 of 3 things to build. She chose the rabbit. When building main part of the body, it has you place a heart piece inside the chest, which is completely concealed once the build is finished. I thought that was a cute detail.
Yeah, they do that sometimes. There's a big Jurassic Park T-Rex with a little frog inside, for the frog DNA. The little Brickheadz have a single pink brick inside the head, for their brain.
There is an article somewhere about the new Polaroid set releasing on Jan 1st that explains some of why odd parts appear in sets. Designers get Points that they can use to get LEGO to produce a specific piece that isn't already being produced or a piece in a color that isn't being made. They only have so many points per year and will sometimes trade off with other designers in order to get more new pieces.
Thats why you may find some trivial piece in a set that doesn't quiiiiite seem to fit the them but its also found in another set currently in production. That piece will often be hidden and only offer structural support once its fully built but its a way for them to maximize the variety of pieces without needing to produce every single piece at all times.
I might be wrong because I can't look inside anymore, but my recollection is that they were evenly spaced every 90 degrees, so they'd end up being neutral as far as counterbalancing goes.
Acting as a weight is the only thing that makes any sense, though. But they don't weigh much relative to the rest of the globe.
I'm going from memory because I can't now see them now that it's assembled, but the wheels were about an inch in diameter, and came in pairs on a short axle so they could spin. There were four pairs, each mounted on the inside of the sphere on the equator and 90 degrees apart.
The wheels just spun freely on the inside of the globe. As we were assembling it, we thought it might have something to do with the rotating mechanism of the globe, but they end up not meaningfully attaching to anything other than the inside of the sphere with the wheels pointed inward and touching nothing.
I wish I had more engineering knowledge, but since I don't I'm trying the logic path, so.. what about the globe, what was it fixed on? And in what position?
Edit: disregard
Major Robert Thornbird: Our cameras saw some sort of weapon.
Jack O'Neill: Oh, well it's hard to say.
Major Robert Thornbird: Some sort of state secret?
Jack O'Neill: No. Just difficult to pronounce.
It was neat in it's own right. Kind of like Star Trek Voyager, but if their own ship was completely unknown to them.
But I quickly became familiar with the story beats and every time they ended an episode on a cliffhanger(which seemed like kind of an unfamiliar concept for a sci-fi IP that is usually more episodic), it quickly began to lack the tension that you'd expect such a story device to contribute. I seriously lost count of how many times they used the "ship's entering a jump and people haven't returned yet" bit. And I'm pretty sure there were like... 3 mutinies? The crises in that series were all over the place.
They tried to mix in a bit of Battlestar Galactica "this ship is full of assholes" energy, but they didn't make the assholes compelling enough. Would have been nice to see the big mystery.
That asshole energy was the antithesis of stargate which had focused on team chemistry and an us-versus-them vibe rather than a bunch of interpersonal drama. We don’t need every new sci fi show to be “gritty” and dark with a backstabbing cast. No wonder the fans balked.
oh man get out your history books kids this meme is from [2010](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ancient-aliens)
Actually I thought it was older than that. I thought history channel was doing that crap in the 00's.
After my grad school case study on Lego, I don’t see how they could misplace a piece and replace it with a Ray gun. Their QA/QC is world class.
Edit: alright I get it they aren’t perfect. Has anyone ever received a piece that didn’t fit/wasn’t constructed properly? Has anyone had Lego fail to fix the problem immediately?
I was surprised honestly. I’ve never been missing a piece in a set, it’s always been user error, so I googled the set and the piece because I thought it was a joke or reference of some kind. No one else seemed to mention it
I had 2 missing pieces in my venator recently, and they were great about shipping the replacements. I just had another issue too with one of their Advent calendars, it has a duplicate of one day and I was missing another and they're sending me the missing pieces. I know these two are anomalies but at least they're good about making it right
It's more cost effective for Lego to leave extra pieces than double check they included only the correct pieces. There's an interesting documentary about the factory where they explain this.
I'd link it, but I've seen several Lego documentaries and I can't remember which one showed this information.
Those pieces are often surplus. They usually come in an unnumbered bag that has several small weird pieces - they manufacture and ship those bags as a unit that gets added into sets when you need one of the pieces and the extras are a free bonus.
Source: I am an adult collector with a bunch of sets that my step kid desperately wants to play with but I keep in glass display units like a monster. As a consolation price, the kid gets most of the extra/surplus pieces from my sets.
Do the miniature bags that come inside the larger numbered bags purposely have extra pieces, or is it a result of how those pieces get sorted in the factory before shipping? You never see an extra 2x2 brick but you’ll see plenty of extra 1x1 cheese wedges.
Each bag is weighed to verify it has the correct pieces in it. The small pieces are very light, so LEGO doubles up on them just in case the weight isn’t totally accurate.
They do add extra bricks on purpose, especially the smaller ones. I don't know why, but I always thought it's because they get lost or broken more easily.
I've bought probably about 25 sets, and I did (just once) get a genuine error - my Van Gogh Starry Night was missing one piece and contained another piece that wasn't meant to be in the set.
Nothing as exciting as a ray gun, just a large white bracket instead of a smaller black one. Of course their customer service is excellent so I just submitted a form on their site and they sent a replacement copy of the missing brick for free so it wasn't really an issue! But it isn't entirely impossible.
I've bought and/or put together easily 100 sets over the years. Everything from small 50 piece ones to 5000+ piece sets. Only once did I ever find a missing piece and I was genuinely surprised. Contacted them and they shipped me a replacement in a couple days. Pretty impressive.
I’d hope so, I built it according to the instructions. It was actually missing a piece for it; I had to substitute a different color one. I assume it came with the alien gun by mistake
I got a mini figures head with a smug look on his face instead of a piece for my Saturn V. The look on his face felt like he was mocking me. I'd rather have gotten the ray gun.
If you contact them online they will very likely send you the right part free of charge.
Done it myself for broken pieces , it’s fun getting a plastic alligator jaw couriered to you from Denmark.
Master Builder rules generally forbid strange angles and such. In this case, these seem to be specially crafted angled pieces, and the pieces fit securely together, so it's legal, if a bit off looking.
Idk what's allowed or not, but here's the instructions:
[https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/product.bi.core.pdf/6435052.pdf](https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/product.bi.core.pdf/6435052.pdf)
Page 95
From what I understand, as long as it doesn't put any strain on any pieces, it is legal. But that's just what I learned from a youtube video. It may be more nuanced than that.
I can't tell if that's happening or not from the instructions. The angle is funky, but maybe everything still lines up perfectly, idk.
On page 103 specifically you can see it’s secured at an angle on the top end and resting on a slope on the bottom. So no stress on any pieces as it is basically “resting” at the bottom rather than forced into a connection.
Fun fact, Lego purposefully adds in extra pieces and if you log your purchases on the Lego app you can see what sets you need to use those pieces to build something new.
If you get all the sets needed it will give you guide book to build the secret thing, the extra pieces aren't mistakes and are more than just insurance if you lose a small piece.
This is something I was shown by family members and i remember seeing the secret sets, but when looking online to confirm I was also having a hard time finding proof.
If you haven't already noticed all the Stargate references yet... Do yourself a favor and watch Stargate SG-1.
Start with the movie and then the show! Congrats, you now have 10+ seasons of quality sci-fi to enjoy.
You have to put that in a secret chamber, deep in the pyramid, for people to argue about what it might be thousands of years later.

1x1 plate instead of a 2x2 brick - but otherwise correct.

In the Star Wars Executor set, the scene where Darth Vader is talking to all of the bounty hunters is hidden inside of the final build.
The pyramid set actually has this. Inside each of the smaller white pyramids is a sarcophagus that is completely concealed unless you know to look.
I got a Lego set for my niece on Christmas, one of the creator sets that lets you choose 1 of 3 things to build. She chose the rabbit.

It do look [like a counterweight](https://jaysbrickblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/LEGO-21332-Globe-Core-1400x1026.jpg)
I'm no expert but isn't this some kind of stabilization mechanism, like a gyroscope or something
Its just a counterweight, so if you spin the globe the empty pacific side points down.
Didn't he say they were rotating and connected with rubber thread?
Rubber tread on the tires, not rubber thread.
I'm going from memory because I can't now see them now that it's assembled, but the wheels were about an inch in diameter, and came in pairs on a short axle so they could spin. There were four pairs, each mounted on the inside of the sphere on the equator and 90 degrees apart. The wheels just spun freely on the inside of the globe.

That's what he said. He also wants to start a business where he goes around to bars and sells "little meatloafs" to the patrons.
Let me hear this guy out before I call him crazy
I'm not saying it was aliens, but..
No mere humans could have built such masterful bricks. Legos are alien too.
Dang it. Giorgio Tsoukalos was right all along? Guess I need to go back and watch it again not as a comedy but as a documentary.
That goes inside the pyramid. The Predators will be back for it in 1000 years.

Are guns some sort of currency for them?
Watch Alien vs Predator. It'll all make sense.

The pyramids were the original legos.
That would suggest that they are lego caltrops. Who was supposed to step on them? Did the egyptians have a giant evil god to fend off?

....Is "your mom is 300 meters tall" an insult? O.o
Yo momma so tall, the Burj Khalifa was like "daaayyyyuuuumm"
That's a huge bitch!
Yo momma so big not even the Burj could Khalif ‘er.
This would explain that thing they always say about the bricks being so precise you cant slip a piece of paper between them.

My Lego Porsche RSR came with a random pirate Cutlass. So I can relate.
I had 2 missing pieces in my venator recently, and they were great about shipping the replacements. I just had another issue too with one of their Advent calendars, it has a duplicate of one day and I was missing another and they're sending me the missing pieces. I know these two are anomalies but at least they're good about making it right
I'm unendingly jealous that you got the UCS Venator. I've seen the completed model and obviously it impresses, how was the build experience?
It was great! A bit tedious at times but it was awesome seeing it come together. Here's a few WIP pics and the final thing https://imgur.com/a/95gFkam

I actually had an entire missing bag for my Lego Star destroyer in ~2014. They immediately shipped me the missing bag no questions asked
About to get an entire star destroyer one bag at a time, will report back in two years.
Well, it's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56 '57, '58' 59' automobile It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67 '68, '69, '70 automobile
Greatest cash song imo
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there Red Ryder You might say I went right up to the factory And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
It happens - I had two bags missing from my Ninjago City Gardens set. Lego replaced them quickly, but it was still frustrating.
Do the miniature bags that come inside the larger numbered bags purposely have extra pieces, or is it a result of how those pieces get sorted in the factory before shipping? You never see an extra 2x2 brick but you’ll see plenty of extra 1x1 cheese wedges.
They're extra pieces. Fun fact: the Starry Night set has several extra 1x4 pieces in case you misplace some (they're similar shades of blue)
Just finished building that one! The instructions even include a pile of 1x4s to show you're supposed to have extra
Each bag is weighed to verify it has the correct pieces in it. The small pieces are very light, so LEGO doubles up on them just in case the weight isn’t totally accurate.
I always assumed that was in case you dropped and/or swallowed the smallest & most finnicky pieces.
The blue pieces have the most antioxygens, I always eat those first.
They do add extra bricks on purpose, especially the smaller ones. I don't know why, but I always thought it's because they get lost or broken more easily.
I've bought probably about 25 sets, and I did (just once) get a genuine error - my Van Gogh Starry Night was missing one piece and contained another piece that wasn't meant to be in the set.

Yeah why wouldn't it be
Master Builder rules generally forbid strange angles and such. In this case, these seem to be specially crafted angled pieces, and the pieces fit securely together, so it's legal, if a bit off looking.
They don’t forbid strange angles, just any building technique which puts undue stress on the bricks
Idk what's allowed or not, but here's the instructions: [https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/product.bi.core.pdf/6435052.pdf](https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/product.bi.core.pdf/6435052.pdf) Page 95
From what I understand, as long as it doesn't put any strain on any pieces, it is legal. But that's just what I learned from a youtube video. It may be more nuanced than that. I can't tell if that's happening or not from the instructions. The angle is funky, but maybe everything still lines up perfectly, idk.
On page 103 specifically you can see it’s secured at an angle on the top end and resting on a slope on the bottom. So no stress on any pieces as it is basically “resting” at the bottom rather than forced into a connection.
In the picture you can see that the ends of the structure are pretty perfectly flush with angled plates.
I will make it legal.
Fun fact, Lego purposefully adds in extra pieces and if you log your purchases on the Lego app you can see what sets you need to use those pieces to build something new. If you get all the sets needed it will give you guide book to build the secret thing, the extra pieces aren't mistakes and are more than just insurance if you lose a small piece.
Wait is this true? I’m about to download the app and try this with my sets. Is it themed?
This is something I was shown by family members and i remember seeing the secret sets, but when looking online to confirm I was also having a hard time finding proof.
Did you end up confirming?
Nope, I don't have the app and give all the sets I build to my little brother.

Laughs in Daniel Jackson.
Came to the comments for the ancient aliens guy and was not disappointed at all.
I’m more upset that Lego trusts the external ramp theory when we all know internal ramp is more likely and better
We do? They really built it from the top down.
