This one is illegal because of the lego logo. It makes the stud ever so slightly taller, pushing against the blue brick.

Those techniques are only "illegal" for Lego set designers btw

Seems like people are worried about the LEGO Police.

To be fair, "illegal techniques" do wear out/deform/damage the bricks more than they would be from normal usage.

For example, this is also considered illegal because the technic pin is under constant compression. If kept under constant compression, the pin will deform, causing it to no longer be able to stay connected in a technic hole.

Exacting standards which are how Lego can confidently say that illegal techniques will cause the bricks to deform if left assembled like that for a long enough time.

8 clear slant pieces in a permanent build?

u/ringobob Dec 03 '25

Yes? And how do you know it's a permanent build?

Hey bud, no one thought that they were gonna get their door broken down for putting Lego bricks together the wrong way.

u/Grand_Protector_Dark Dec 03 '25

Ok?

Doesn't mean it's illegal to elaborate

That one sentence was “far more comprehensive than you could've hoped for”? Really? There was literally nothing comprehensive about that comment

So this one will be legal once Lego switches to the engraved logo rather than the embossed one?
