[Applause]
guys today we are here at a store called
bricks and minifigs with our friend
Corey this is a Lego store it’s describe
it to us a little bit at bricks and
minifigs we sell all things Lego we buy
back Lego and we resell pre-owned sets
loose minifigures both pieces you can
build your own minifigure and you can
even host your birthday party here it’s
amazing we we came in here to film and
we play for an hour this place is
amazing so today we want to do an
experiment Lego we have done some stuff
with LEGO pieces before and today’s
ventures can be a little bit more
destructive than some other stuff Lego
is made from what’s called ABS plastic
and abs plastic is well known for not
doing so well if it comes in contact
with acetone and so our thought is we
can get a lot of acetone and a lot of
Lego and see what happens when they meet
our plan is to destroy something star
wars-themed in fact we’re going to try
and melt the Millennium Falcon
[Music]
Nate we don’t have a fish tank big
enough for this okay
I believe this is the largest Lego set
that is made so we’re gonna go for not
this Millennium Falcon but this
Millennium Falcon we’re gonna set up a
fish tank and then we’re gonna pour a
lot of acetone in and just submerge the
Millennium Falcon in it so this should
be pretty great so I mean we can give it
back to you but like in a book yet well
oh yeah well okay okay so if we’re gonna
destroy one of these then I think we
need to see how it’s built from the
ground up so anything oh definitely
because there’s it’s not just outed like
there’s the in reduces you can actually
see inside this yeah yeah I want to see
how this is put together we’ll build one
and then we’ll see what happens when we
dunk it in acetone
[Music]
we’ve got a Millennium Falcon’s set up
on a tank we’ve also got it sitting over
this large plastic tub and that’s
because it’s supposed to be watertight
and acetone shouldn’t destroy the
silicone that’s holding these panes of
glass together but just in case it
starts to leak we don’t want it to all
fail catastrophically and just pour a
stone everywhere so if it does start
leak it should mostly land in this tub
and so it’s just a little bit of a
precaution
so as sad as this is we still want as
many angles as possible of the
destruction that we’re gonna be causing
here so we’ve got lots of GoPros we’ve
got lots of lights we’re gonna make sure
that everything’s time elapsed
all right we’ve got 10 gallons of
acetone I might do it start pouring
super cloudy actually you can’t even see
through that I think it’s just
dissolving the white bottom piece
already yeah where I’m pouring it’s
already like smoothes it out a lot it
looks like I’m gonna pour on the clear
see what happens all right this is
starting to dissolve the Lego a lot
faster than I thought it was going to
the spots where we’ve been pouring it
like it’s removing detail already like
I’m pretty sure the sides where that’s
been poured on like it no longer has the
word Lego on the bumps and stuff like
that acetone is actually very clear so
what we’re seeing all this cloudiness is
when we’re pouring in the white bottom
of it was just dissolving that quickly
[Music]
just a little just enough that might
settle yeah even this this top part here
that it under but it’s just been
splashed on look at this
that’s my fingernail just scraping right
into that well you can see right here
where I first started pouring a barrier
in and let it sit now yeah
it’s stuck to my fingers
[Music]
quick update this has now been sitting
the tank of acetone for about an hour
and unfortunately right as we poured the
acetone in and immediately started
getting cloudy we think that might be
because the white base that it was
sitting on and the blue background were
actually not Lego brand they were an
off-brand and yeah it was probably a
different formula the plastic that
dissolved even faster and so it just
went cloudy immediately now you can see
that acid basically all blue even though
there’s only just those two blue plates
in the back so we are gonna try this
again including destroying a second
millennium falcon because we want to
start with clear acetone and make it so
you can actually see what’s happening it
may still go cloudy as some vallega
dissolves but we wanted to at least
start clear and then get cloudy so now
we’re gonna try and take some of this
out and see this is just like mush the
stickers are almost staying
see what happens I’m going to try and
lift the whole thing I’d oh
lift lift slowly because it lifts real
slow cuz when it breaks is gonna splash
down along I got it oh there goes that
one okay it’s gone I’m sorry Han Chewie
forgive me you guys see this it’s like
you can kind of see the Lego pattern
left as it just dissolves against my
hand bowl full of spaceship this will no
longer be making the Kessel run in 12
parsecs oh it has weakened my glove
we were night route gloves which are
fairly chemically resistant now this has
been much mine’s got prolonged contact
with acetone on your skin is not a good
idea it’s not like gonna instantly cause
problems but it’s definitely not
something you want to keep doing you use
this stuff to take off nail polish and
stuff but I’m just gonna go rinse my
hands anyways cuz uh went right through
on me and try something else we’re gonna
fill the tank with acetone no base plate
no backdrop to it and then we’re just
going to lower our Millennium Falcon
down into it I have done very
small-scale tests of putting
that way before it we didn’t get any
cloudy when I did that so hopefully
we’ll get a better result like this
[Music]
if this spills we’re saying goodbye to
this kitchen turn on the fan and just
leave house for a day so there’s only
one redeeming quality about melting this
now Nate has included himself in the
melting process gotta have a pilot so we
blended grant and now we’re melting me
I’m fine okay
like Geico there you go carefully lower
down here is filling with acetone Oh
much less cloudy all right you were to
pull it up out of the smog come on you
can do it do or do not there is no dry
its slumping definitely yeah and you can
see so it’s hard to see on the camera
right now we’ll see zoom in later but if
you’re actually looking at it the red
color is actually already seeping away
oh you see that
alright let’s let this sit for a while
and just observe the destruction I do
we’ve left this in for about three hours
and as you can see we have achieved
pretty total destruction oh it’s all
over everything I shouldn’t touch it
there’s just like this one centerpiece
holding itself up there’s a couple of
arched shaped pieces of Lego in there
oh no it’s just barely supported right
now this is the end of the Millennium
Falcon you guys oh it’s no now it’s a
boat way that I can just like scrape off
and then these arches are like untouched
okay so not untouched it’s very fragile
but like so a lot of the bricks they
seriously like swelled up absorb the
acetone and look at that goo but these
like the exact same shape so I’m
guessing there’s like different
densities of Lego oh no I was gonna try
and see if I could unsnap any of these
Lego see if I mean and they’re still in
the center okay no I think that’s a no
right there so this piece right here it
has like these little pegs on the side
and so I think there’s a structural
grade of Lego and the less structural
grade of Lego it’s not swollen up you
can still clearly read Lego on the bumps
and everything else hours ago became
swollen and illegible and really soft
okay for another survived piece cuz you
can see it’s still drying I think I was
just like in closed so entirely yeah
but pulling it apart kind of feels like
a caramel popcorn this is a rescue
attempt I’m gonna try and pull my mini
figure out he escaped the cockpit I have
become liquid and I just got cut in half
with a pair of tongs hey God I can fix
you don’t worry I got this mmm good luck
there you’re fine oh I look great you’re
fine oh I think we should now take the
remains of this morning Falcon back to
the nice people who lent it to us yeah
they they did ask for it back we are
back at the bricks and minifigs store
and we’re here to present Corey with the
remains of our Millennium Falcon
they’re you governess just the way you
gave it you do to my baby quick reminder
before after
oh my gosh okay so how many gallons of
acetone I think we used to take gallons
and a Sebastian several days to
evaporate I’m guessing yeah
we poured most of it off but we didn’t
like we didn’t want to pour everything
off because there was a lot of like
liquid Lego sludge in it as well
so we wanted to let it settle quite a
bit I got to say my favorite part is
that they’re just still a couple of
pieces that didn’t go anywhere so like
this is the cockpit and it it’s not
clear anymore obviously like it used to
be clear and now it’s very opaque glass
but it’s still intact
you guys are braver than I because man
to do that to such a wonderful sight
it’s true fortunately you still have one
yeah we’re not gonna ruin this well okay
good maybe don’t let Nate hold it anyway
okay wait
this one you can’t now this one come on
come on guys that’s not all we’ve always
got more for you to see this box up here
at the top will take you to our latest
video that box the bottom will take you
to a YouTube thinks you should be
watching next and if you hit this bottom
in the middle it’ll subscribe you so you
never miss out on the fun don’t forget
to ring that Bell we’ll see you in the next one talk to you them
