Should've asked him the really pressing question: should you hang your LEGO car doors in the overhand or underhand fashion?

It’s so cool that you got an exclusive interview with the designers!!

Those original trees look like they would've been a nightmare to actually put together. They look like the pieces would constantly fall off, and when they do, it would be annoying to put them back on. I prefer more sparse trees that you can actually handle like a normal Lego set.

It's really nice to be able to understand why all these changes were made! Just finished the video and what a great interview, loved all the small details, especially the blue cabin print

I personally love how the new trees create more volume, but are not as dense. So they are able to frame the cabin more fully, with more color but NOT overwhelm the cabin.

Can we take a moment to really appreciate those illustrations on the instruction booklets. Really nice 😍

In regard to the one bed per four figures, I think there are some places where ratios matter and some places where I don’t think people consider the implications of not doing things the way they are done. So for instance, in the at-te, which is a troop carrier, there is basically a full battle pack of troopers in addition to commander Cody and the battle droids. It’s a troop carrier, so it should hold quite a few troopers, including those that come with it and more. It’s normally a problem when that kind of set doesn’t hold the troops it comes with, if not more. I also think the ideas medieval blacksmith, with the one six stud wide bed can’t realistically hold both the husband and wife. Then again, whether it’s his wife is up to the owner of the set and the designers were excited about the techniques that made that bed look so good at that size. I’ve shifted my thinking a bit. There are still cases where I will say that limited capacity is a big problem, but this set is about what it makes you feel more than it is about how many figures it houses. Several figures can hang out in and around it, but it’s not necessarily supposed to sleep a large group. If it is, lego fans can build additional beds and put them in. But here were the designers choices: (1) We make the set so it has a bed for each minifigure. We want the set to look good, so we don’t want it to feel crowded, so instead of including four figures, we’ll include two figures and two beds. (2) we make the house feel cramped because it’s full of beds instead of fun details and features for the minifigures to enjoy when they are awake. I think that lego designers know that sleep is not the most important part of a play pattern and that for display purposes, there don’t need to be beds in every room. There just should be a bed so that you can imagine it being a realistic place minifigures would sleep.

We have a family summer “camp” that has an A frame on the property, which our kids LOVE going to. We’re going to get this set to put together on a rainy day up there this summer. Can’t wait!

For the first time I looked up a designer after building a set because I loved it so much (Monkie Kid Hideout), so nice surprise to see Jordan Ramsden here! Also, I personally like the Lego designed trees better. Mocs are usually too dense for my taste. Thank you for the interview!

I really love these interviews Tiago, it's always great to have a sneak peek behind the scenes. Hopefully you will have more of these opportunities

I like the new trees better for several reasons. Bushy dense trees are a specific type of conifer tree often found in northern regions around forest edges, lakes, or new growth forests. The branches and leaves on those trees almost always point UPWARDS. They are also evergreens meaning they stay GREEN. The new trees remind me of Douglas firs or other larger conifer trees that do have fewer branches. You would find these trees in an older forests WAY OUT in the wilderness, where a cabin like this would be. The new trees also don't have to be conifers at all, allowing designers to use the autumn colors in the original. This also helps explain fewer leaves...it's fall. For me it all makes total sense. The new trees are just a better fit for an A Frame cabin in my mind. I live in the USA and I know the types of forests we have where cabins exactly like this are found.

PHENOMENAL review. I gained so many insights. I was concerned any questions on the topic of the trees and modernization would be prickly but you and they handled it SO well. I understand that videos like this might be rare or this may be a one-off but if you do more I’m sure I won’t be the only ecstatic follower of your channel. (And yes, while I have my qualms, I’ll be buying this set in the next few months)

Oh I love such interviews, make more of them if possible!

Great interview! When I hear the logic behind some of the decisions they made, it makes it easier to accept the changes from the original design.

Awesome interview, informative. You should do more of them

Thank you so much for having my these creatives! This is much wanted information in the community and you're providing it with great quality!

such a great interview, it was great going right to the source and getting info. Hopefully will be a recurring theme.

So great to hear the thought processes behind all the creative decisions. I'm so excited to get this set!

So interesting to hear about the design process from the designers themselves. Great interview!!

This is such an incredible video! Please continue to do more videos like this. This is the best brick building channel on UKposts!

What a great interview! Thank you guys. The Blue Cottage printed piece is one of the cutest thing ever!

Thank you, Tiago, for bringing it them to us. What a great input into how other folks see their job.

Thank you so much for bringing this interview to the Lego community and beyond. Such a brilliant insight into Lego design. Very well put together. Keep up the valuable and excellent work that you do Tiago

Glad you did this interview and I hope you do more in the future. I would of liked to see the whole team in the shot though

Love this! I’m an industrial designer myself and really like to know the why’s and how’s so this is absolutely fantastic! Great interview 👌🏻

Wonderful, so glad to have this kind of content.

9:34 higgledy-piggledy is my new favorite word.

Great interview, really enjoyed hearing their process in changing the original. I do like the new trees better, easier to put together and makes a vignette by itself. Thanks for this! Keep it up!

I loved this video Thiago. Thanks a lot for for putting this together for us.

Great video! Always interesting to get an insight into the designers thoughts and decisions.

Great interview! Thank you so much!

I need this for every set🌟 So interesting

They really changed this from house in the woods the people seem to live at full time with a lot of self-sufficiency to a vacation spot just getting rented

Great interview! Always like ur videos!

Great questions. Thanks for the interview. 🤜🏽 I plan on getting this set.

I love this set! I can’t wait to build it and add to my forest-y area. This is very true to life, including the controversial trees! I’m in California and have stayed in cabins much like this on several occasions. This gives me a very cozy, nostalgic feeling. Thank you to the designer (s) !

Buying 2 sets like Sanctum Sanctorum and A Fram Hut for 2 doors is how I build my MOCs ;-)

Thank you for the order! - lego

Just finished this and it’s awesome! Love the build. The only thing I do wish it had was a fire pit or a brick light in the wood stove inside.

LOVE THIS! really interesting to hear about the process behind the scenes when designing a set. The A cabin is such a well executed set and they made the proper design choices and compromises to make it more affordable to the mass; I do wish for more from the set but it's still great nonetheless. Great contents, Tiago! Keep up the great work! PS: also if LEGO is seeing this, more printed parts and less scuffed mark/scratches on transparent parts would be greatly appreciated LOL

The car door story is incredible a propper laugh at that

As a designer relearning the creative and technical industry, I find this to be a really valuable content. "You learn your way into it", so they said.

Storing the canoe properly in this set just kills me. I need this sent just for the canoe setup. Looks so good.

Bruh it was originally a hunters cabin? I would have bought that in a heartbeat.

Love the casual references to "hyglig" to describe the cabin vibe and family. Such a classic Danish phrase that unfortunately doesn't translate well to English.

Awesome work Tiago 👍🏼

you should interview the actual LEGO STAR WARS design and production team :)

I love this set! That being said I sure wish there could have been a few redwood/pine trees added to it.

Am I reading too much into it, but after mentioning the lion knight's castle, the designers said "things to come"? Could that mean something something new castle sets

Love your content

They should have made the front door more creative. Guess I'm gonna do it myself if I ever get the set. But it's not on my number one list tho

I am so sad they did not make Gravity Falls - Mystery Shack as special case of A cabin models, but this set is good base for it :)

I like the new trees more overall. It would have been nice if one of the trees looked more like the fan one though. I think the green tree could have looked more like a pine tree that would add some visual variety to the set. I understand why they didn't though. Still very lovely.

WELL DONE, TIAGO!!

Now that you no longer work for Lego, are you able to still design a model and submit it for the Ideas line? Would you be able to use your connections and get it bumped up the line or would you still go through the same process like every other fan?

Are we about to start getting Tiago-podcasts...!?! This was a great watch/listen! :D

They could have put that third row of Thor's hammer.... So not as many hammers as possible

Amazing how they animated the designers out of moving legos! (JK. It's great you managed to interview them and the designers did an amazing job!)

Mano és incrível, já te assisto á muito tempo e sempre percebi que parecias ser português 😂 e depois achei mesmo o teu canal em português, manda mais vídeos lá 👍🇵🇹

despite being not a fan of this piece and detail reduced yet high price modern Lego I actually like this cabin ,-)

I want to make bushier trees. Is there some kind of foliage accessories set out there that I can buy?

Very cool

Its a very cool set but I wish I could get it

I think the original looks better, the size, the trees, but I LOVE the windows that they used instead.

Honestly, this cabin looks similar to a cabin you would find in the north eastern us. I would say the trees on the released model seem more accurate.

How can we view the submission and vote?

Designer Justin was in a Lego documentary that was on Prime. It showed him interviewing and ultimately getting a job at Lego.

I'm very happy that they decided not to go with the hunting related details, because I'm 100% sure I wouldn't buy a set like that

Tiago faz um Review de lego brickheadz🙂

So you are the menacing man that makes us apply all those annoying stickers!!!

Amazing interview! It's really impressive how much love went into this set :) 10/10 content.

Poor Justin looks so sad in the thumbnail

Nice video

Post apocalyptic ? Lol, wtf ? Rustic, guys, rustic... I get the hunter's cabin aspect of it that would not please everybody but, Jesus, they really need countryside escapism ! 😆

Was Justin in the document about how to get job from Lego?

For your next video you should do a car lego auction

Great interview. Thank you! And loved Justin's description "...digital detox..." another reason why I enjoy LEGO building...tactile building experiences. Always marvel with all the techniques and details (and LEGO geometry!) employed by these designers and MOC builders :) And love Kenza's IKEA Chandelier (aka "exploding Death Star")...have one in my dining area LOL!

Lego designers admitting they build around the price of the set it seems like they’ve really got to make it worth it. That lego inflation makes this hard to swallow at $180. Maybe if we had a bag of extra leaves to make the trees bushier, as the designers poked at, or more flora/fauna.

How u managed that

How aggressively some here are demanding a hunter variant.. my goodness, it's Lego! Build whatever you want from The Set!

This was great…thumbnail looks like you are interrogating the designers though so I was fearing a much more contentious conversation.

the audio is kinda bad at their end, hope there will be a close caption soon

12:25 Rufus from Disney Kim Possible

Drink every time the dude says "kind of".

Great insights Tiago - merci!! I find it hard to believe that a design team from LEGO isn´t able to deliver an acceptable movie quality where at least all of the persons in the room are visible....

The sea cow 👍😊👌 strange things 👌😊👍 sesame Street set. I so need to get again 👍😊👌

Why didnt you ask about the goat!!!!!!!

Tiago did a great job asking questions… the lego designers didn’t answer well

Thanks for the interview, sadly the thumbnail is pure clickbait :(

Why'd they remove the black bear?

Who else is here from Star Wars explained the bad batch season 2 playlist?

It was exactly my thoughts that the original premise of two bushwacker dudes in a run down cabin wasn't a theme that would resonate much with average buyer. It's a very cool adult concept art but this will be built by average kids and their parents who probably have been to a standard tourist cabin (or maybe they weren't but have some idea about one) and I see how that has a much wider appeal.

I was so hyped for this set originally. As i loved the idea of it being a rustic self sufficient styled cabin out in the wilderness. but the lego design is just so lifeless and now just feels like a modern weekend holiday rental where you would expect to see 3 or more of these built right next to each other in a holiday village. It's still a good set but it definitely took the wind out of the sails for me with all the modern changes.

very nice set. bit pricey.

why the significant changes? money

I for one don't like them bushy.

Why get rid of boarded up windows and broken stairs

Looking at the comments, I am reminded of one thing for sure --you can never please everyone. What I love the most about Lego is the ability to be creative and make each model or set your own. If you want "family getaway", "vegan solitude" or "hunter back to nature"...you can build the scene the way you want. Great interview.

This interview puts other Lego channel to shame. This also seems an awesome work environment, no way it's the same inside the Chinese copy cats.
