Trivia / LEGO Rewind

Go To

  • Author's Saving Throw: Half the reason of the show's seasonal recaps is to correct any errors in Nick's research, which is why he appreciates the comments section so much, as they're often the first to discover them. One that several commenters have been quick to point out was his claim that the Hogwarts Express was played by The Jacobite, when in actuality its way played by the 5872 Olton Hall.
  • Creator Backlash:
  • Creator Breakdown: Season 2 took quite a toll on Nick, between the constant badgering to cover this-and-that theme, and the idea that LEGO Rewind would turn out to be his peak as a content creator. Season 3 was likewise plagued with the pressure to Wrap It Up before COPPA threatened to close down his comments section.
  • Creator's Favorite: If it wasn't clear enough, BIONICLE is Nick's all time favorite LEGO theme. His favorite System theme throughout LEGO Rewind was Legends of Chima, followed by Atlantis. Since then, it's become Monkie Kid.
  • Doing It for the Art: This is purely a work of passion for Nick, hence why he doesn't intend to cover every last LEGO theme under the sun; if he doesn't have any insight of his own, he might as well be reciting Brickipedia articles.
  • Newbie Boom: Before LEGO Rewind, Nick had a modest 7,000 subscriber count, mostly from his video on Battle Angel Alita. By the end, it exceeded 30,000.
  • Older Than They Think: Nick praises the casting of Sean Schemmel as Son Wukong in Monkie Kid for obvious reasons, but it wouldn't be the first time he's done so; that honor goes to his appearance in Smite.
  • Referenced by...: PhantomStrider mentioned the series when talking about Scala in "Lego's 10 Worst Failures".
  • What Could Have Been:
    • Simply put, the series was never initially meant to last as long as it did The first four episodes were the only ones planned from the get-go, as a means to test the waters. Even with positive reception, his original plan was to make 20 episodes before continuing with 30 and finally settling on 40.
    • The Western episode was originally going to be about the subject of outdated cultural depictions, including the Mayincatec natives from LEGO Pirates and the ninjas from... Ninja. Likewise, Nick's follow-up on the finished episode was going to be included in the Season 2 recap, but the script was simply too long.
    • Nick originally planned to launch a Patreon page with the LEGO Vikings episode, but he wanted his YouTube videos to remain a hobby rather than his primary output, and thought that doing so would push that boundary too far. His Schedule Slip throughout 2020 is what convinced him to go through with it.
