Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })LEGO Rewind is a series of YouTube videos by graphic novelist and video game reviewer Nicholas Anderson (username "Nick on Planet Ripple", formerly "Nick on Aqua Magna"). As something of a Video Review Show mixed with a guerrilla Documentary series, Nick reviews various LEGO themes, specifically (but not exclusively) focusing on retired cult classics (as well as any spiritual successors) analyzing their concepts, design elements, story, and impact on LEGO's history and fandom.LEGO Rewind originally ran from August 2017 to December 2019. The original run series is divided into three 13-episode seasons, with the season finales recapping his thoughts on prior episodes as well as correcting any errors or missed details. In addition, there's also a series of annual year in review episodes about various LEGO developments. Nick has also stated that he's open to the idea of a full-fledged fourth season should inspiration strike, and it appears it did just that, as he eventually launched a Patreon page to fund his entire body of work, with the highest-tier reward being a LEGO Rewind episode devoted to the theme of the Patron's choice.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The complete series is on this playlist.Themes and subjects covered: Note: Subjects mark with a caret (^) are or will be covered in greater detail in a later episodeOriginal run: Ice Planet 2002 LEGO Life on Mars, LEGO Mars Mission Rock Raiders, LEGO Power Miners Technic Star Wars figures, Slizers/Throwbots, RoboRiders, Cyber Slam/Competition LEGO Adventurers, LEGO Pharaohs Quest LEGO Studios, LEGO Spider-Man Trilogy LEGO Alpha Team, LEGO Agents, LEGO Ultra Agents Galidor LEGO Exo-Force Duplo dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, LEGO Dino Attack/Dino 2010, LEGO Dino, LEGO Jurassic Park LEGO Race, LEGO Racers, Tiny Turbos, LEGO Speed Racer, LEGO World Racers, LEGO Speed Champions Aquazone, Divers, LEGO Aqua Raiders, LEGO Atlantis, Deep Sea Explorers Season 1 recap LEGO Vikings UFO, Insectoids, LEGO Alien Conquest, LEGO Galaxy Squad^ LEGO Arctic LEGO Sports LEGO Trains LEGO NASA, LEGO Discovery Dragon Masters, Fright Knights, LEGO Monster Fighters, LEGO Scooby-Doo Knights' Kingdom, Knights' Kingdom 2, Nexo Knights LEGO Mindstorms, LEGO Spybotics, LEGO Boost LEGO Western, LEGO The Lone Ranger Girls' themes: Scala, Paradisa, Belville, Clickits, LEGO Friends, LEGO Elves, The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Blacktron, LEGO Space Police, Futuron, Blacktron 2, Space Police 2, M-Tron, Space Police 3 Seatron (unreleased), Season 2 recap Hero Factory LEGO Island Xtreme Stunts Res-Q, Mega Bloks Dragons LEGO Time Cruisers LEGO Harry Potter, LEGO Star Wars LEGO Space round-up: Classic LEGO Space (as recreated by The LEGO Movie), Spyrius, Unitron, Exploriens, Roboforce, Mars Exploration Fabuland, Legends of Chima LEGO Pirates, LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, Metalbeard from The LEGO Movie Ninja, Ninjago, The LEGO Ninjago Movie "Dank" themes round-up: Cybermaster, Znap, Extreme Team, Outback, Muji, LEGO McDonald's, LEGO Factory, LEGO Master Bulder Academy, LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants, LEGO Avatar: The Last Airbender, X-Pod, Mixels LEGO Castle round-up: Lion Knights, Black Falcons, Crusaders, Black Knights, Forestmen, Wolfpack, Royal Knights, Dark Forest, Castle (2007), Kingdoms Vintage LEGO: Automatic Binding Bricks, Homemaker, Minitalia, Modulex, Dacta/Education, Hobby Set, Model Team Season 3 recap, Jack Stone/4 Juniors, Hidden Side^ BIONICLE, BIONICLE (2015)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })New run: 2020: Sets with brick-built skull decorations, the return of LEGO Mindstorms, design upgrade for LEGO Speed Champions, LEGO Dots, the return of Deep Sea Explorers, Technic V-22 Osprey controversy, the end of Hidden Side, LEGO Super Mario, Monkie Kid TV series, plans to re-review earlier LEGO Rewind subjects LEGO Rewind LEGO Galaxy Squad | |

Play the Game, Skip the Story and Enjoy the Story, Skip the Game:invoked Variant: When comparing Rock Raiders to Power Miners, Nick notes that the former has a far more engaging story and characters and a more memorable color scheme, but the sets are held back by the "juniorized" set design of LEGO's Dork Age. The latter, meanwhile, has far more involved and creative set designs, even though the characters aren't as interesting. | |

| LEGO Rewind (Web Video) / int_1e1afc1b | comment |
Nick's 8th episode at first appears to be the long-awaited review of Exo-Force... only to trail off into a review of the highly controversial Galidor toys instead. The kicker being that the review has a Framing Device, being set an Alternate Timeline. | |

Non-Indicative Name: Nick admits in his "Arctic" episode that the "Early Technic" episode is a bit of a misnomer, focusing more on early Constraction. This is because the Arctic theme extends into a few classic Technic sets, allowing him to touch up on early Technic proper. | |

| LEGO Rewind (Web Video) / int_30d2689a | comment |
The 29th starts as an otherwise average review of the Res-Q line... only for Nick to run out of things to say after about a minute. He spends another minute stuggling to come up with more to say about the line, until a Ominous Visual Glitch briefly turns this into a Mega Bloks review show! The Alternate Timeline Framing Device is used yet again, with the narrator instead being Eljay Johnson from Pandemic Panda. | |

Bias Steamroller | |
| LEGO Rewind (Web Video) / int_3fe463c | comment |
Bias Steamroller: Downplayed in regards to licensed LEGO themes. He doesn't hate them — in fact he's fond of quite a few and can easily see the demand for them (he'd personally jump at the chance to license Planet Ripple sets) — and appreciates how they contributed to LEGO's evolution throughout the Turn of the Millennium. Still, they give him far less to say then LEGO's original themes; those come with their own concepts, designs, and lore that he finds deserving of more attention, whereas licensed themes just have to be accurate to a pre-established world that's already well-known.invoked Not to mention they potentially discourage LEGO from coming up with their own ideas — why would consumers bother with Johnny Thunder when they could get Indiana Jones? — and the licensing fees add to LEGO's hefty-enough price tags. | |

Stylistic Suck: Nick notes that certain elements from the LEGO Studios sets (such as the awkward-looking brick-built Velociraptors and the conspicuous support beam) add to the feel of the sets depicting a movie backlot. | |

Downer Ending: "That's a downer note to end on!", as he puts it: The "Discovery/Nasa" episode ends on Nick commenting on the tendency for space programs to suffer budget cuts as the Sci Fi Ghetto makes Real Life space exploration seem less appealing to the common man. The Knights' Kingdom" episode ends on Nick commenting about the current lack of Castle and Constraction in LEGO's oeuvre, wondering what it says about his generation that grew up with all those things. | |

For Want of a Nail | |
| LEGO Rewind (Web Video) / int_79a60aec | comment |
For Want of a Nail: The timeline seen in the Galidor review is one where, instead of failing miserably, the line became the rousing success LEGO had hoped for, leading the company to fully commit to this direction and eventually abandon building toys altogether. Other causalities of this timeline include Hasbro and Mattel merging, BIONICLE only lasting until 2005, and Nick never finding the inspiration needed to become a graphic novelist. The timeline from the Res-Q episode is one where LEGO never acquired the rights to produce Star Wars sets, and as a result didn't survive its infamous Dork Age. Mega Bloks then rose to power as the dominant force in the building toy industry, due to its grittier aesthetics standing out in a market glutted by shoddy knockoff products. Since LEGO didn't last long enough to develop BIONICLE (with only Voo-Doo Heads concept art remaining), Nick is just a run-of-the-mill Sonic the Hedgehog YouTuber, and "Mega Rewind" is hosted by Eljay Johnson, who seems to have some Wistful Amnesia of the timeline that actually did come to pass. The timeline seen in LEGO Rewind REWIND is one where Nick himself died tragically in a freak Sharpie accident shortly after completing Season 2, leaving Season 3 as a sad case of What Could Have Been. Also, a giant meteor will detroy the Earth in one year. | |

Contested Sequel | |
| LEGO Rewind (Web Video) / int_8f2ee52b | comment |
Contested Sequel:invoked This is how Nick originally felt about Mars Mission compared to Life on Mars. The spiffy designs are all the line had going for it, but it's otherwise a nadir of homogenization and lack of personality. He even admits that it marks the first time he's ever gotten buyer's remorse from a LEGO set. (although he did end up softening his opinion on the theme later on) | |

Thanking the Viewer: Done in spectacular fashion in the last episode: several prominent LEGO and BIONICLE YouTubers (Eljay Johnson, MandR Productions, Brickitect, DTinaglia Studios, BrickTsar, just2good, Maniac4Bricks, JANGBricks, and Nick himself) come together to tell all the viewers that "you are LEGO Rewind". | |

Accentuate the Negative | |
| LEGO Rewind (Web Video) / int_a70f9aba | comment |
Accentuate the Negative: Averted. Nick is fairly even-tempered, and while he doesn't withhold any of his criticisms, he has mostly positive things to say about the subjects of his review. About the closest to caustic he's ever gotten were his thoughts on Mars Mission. When reviewing Jack Stone, Nick admitted he probably would have been a lot more scathing had he tackled it early on, but is now a lot more willing to commend it for at least trying to act as a little kid's entry point into traditional LEGO, flawed as the execution may have been. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| LEGO Rewind (Web Video) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: LEGO Rewind is ostensibly focused on "old retired LEGO themes", so how would Nick justify talking about Ninjago, LEGO's current Flagship Franchiseinvoked? Well, it turns out that Ninjago was originally allotted the standard 2½ year run that most other themes were and are given, only to be Un-Cancelled by fan demand, so technically it was retired, even if only temporary. | |

| LEGO Rewind (Web Video) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: In the Galidor episode, Nick jokes about "the cheekily-named Kek Powerizer, inspiring one of the Internet's oldest memes!" Nick notes that the artwork for the Exo-Force characters sharply declined in quality in its 3rd year, trying to resemble something like Slayers, only to wind up looking like My Life Me. On the dinosaurs in Dino Attack: In the "Island Xtreme Stunts" episode, Nick reveals he isn't very fond of the LEGO Club mascot Max and "that dumb permanent smile!" Nick speaks positively of Legends of Chima, just "not the show, that's junk!" | |

Extra-Long Episode | |
| LEGO Rewind (Web Video) / int_b96fdd94 | comment |
Extra-Long Episode: Most episodes run for an average of 10 minutes (give or take about three), with a few entering the 15-20 minute ballpark. The seasonal recaps tend to reach a half-hour and a few minutes. Of course, they all pale in comparison to the BIONICLE episode, which clocks in at an hour and 19 minutes long, a similar runtime to the franchise's Direct to Video movies! | |

Dork Age | |
| LEGO Rewind (Web Video) / int_bf3960d6 | comment |
The timeline from the Res-Q episode is one where LEGO never acquired the rights to produce Star Wars sets, and as a result didn't survive its infamous Dork Age. Mega Bloks then rose to power as the dominant force in the building toy industry, due to its grittier aesthetics standing out in a market glutted by shoddy knockoff products. Since LEGO didn't last long enough to develop BIONICLE (with only Voo-Doo Heads concept art remaining), Nick is just a run-of-the-mill Sonic the Hedgehog YouTuber, and "Mega Rewind" is hosted by Eljay Johnson, who seems to have some Wistful Amnesia of the timeline that actually did come to pass. | |

Shout-Out | |
| LEGO Rewind (Web Video) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Much like other YouTubers, Nick will use music from several video game and other sources as the BGM for his videos. A mostly complete list is here. In his Rock Raiders episode, Nick brings up Bennett the Sage's quote about how the Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism and the Sliding Scale of Shiny Versus Gritty applies to Science Fiction. In the same video, he mentions The Core when discussing Power Miners' last wave. The voice gives Turbo in the Early Technic episode is cut from the same cloth as Boomhauer. The "Statue of Liberty Cannon" scene from Mobile Fighter G Gundam appears in the Exo-Force episode. In the Arctic episode, Nick notes that the original wave's premise (hunting for frozen alien samples) is pretty close to The Thing. When discussing how he'd like to have seen a Scooby-Dooby Doors themed set in the "Halloween Special" episode, Nick pulls up relevant clips from "ScoobyNatural" and The Scooby-Doo Project. Nick plays a snippet of George Carlin's bit about flamethrowers in the Knights' Kingdom episode. In the same video, he wishes to see Shadiversity discuss the castle designs in Knights' Kingdom 2's concept art. When praising Nexo Knights' use of Meta Mecha, Nick proclaims "I loved it in Gurren Lagann, I loved it in Ninja Steel, and I love it here!" In the Mindstorms episode, Nick describes Vern as "this adorable Johnny-5-looking fellow". The topic of Native Americans in his "Western" episode brings up a clip from the relevant episode of Malcolm in the Middle. When discussing the Girl-Show Ghettoinvoked in the "Girl Themes" episode, Nick starts out by bringing up the situation behind the cancellation of Young Justice. Later, in his Season 2 recap, Nick admits the situation wasn't exactly as the rumors claimed, but his overall point still stands. Nick compares the M-Tron faction to the Thunderbirds, and the 3rd Space Police to Starship Troopers. Nick notices a character looking strikingly similar to Vsauce in the Time Cruisers comics. When discussing Unitron: Nick brings up the inevitable comparison to Thundercats 2011 in his Legends of Chima episode, and takes a moment to gush about the episode "Song of the Petalars". When talking about just how Ninjago has its finger in most of LEGO's Action-Adventure ideas, Nick hopes that any future original themes "aren't lost in the shadow of this colossus." There's also a blink-and-you'll-miss-it image of Shrek mixed with Lloyd Garmadon! This bonus video about the potential threat of COPPA name-drops Jobby the Hong as one of the many toy reviewers that could be negatively impacted by You Tube's policy change. In the "Vintage LEGO" episode, Nick compares a LEGO car suddenly bursting from the screen in an old commercial to a Chest Burster, as illustrated by Spaceballs. There's also a blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference to The Dark Crystal. In his Season 3 wrap-up, Nick notices LEGO Minifigures that are dead ringer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Blight, the Ultimate Warrior, Jacksepticeye, Ashly Burch, and Niko. The BIONICLE episode uses a few clips from Reviving Bionicle to illustrate the the line's fandom. | |

Spiritual Antithesis | |
| LEGO Rewind (Web Video) / int_ce2969d8 | comment |
Spiritual Antithesis: Nick notes that the two pseudo-Castle themes that ran concurrently, Nexo Knights and Elves, each deliver on one half of what fans expect from Castle sets: Nexo Knights (being the boys' theme) focuses more on battlements and militia, whereas Elves (being the girls' theme) focuses more on domiciles and daily living. | |

April Fools' Day | |
| LEGO Rewind (Web Video) / int_eac3ee70 | comment |
April Fools' Day: Nick's 8th episode at first appears to be the long-awaited review of Exo-Force... only to trail off into a review of the highly controversial Galidor toys instead. The kicker being that the review has a Framing Device, being set an Alternate Timeline. The 29th starts as an otherwise average review of the Res-Q line... only for Nick to run out of things to say after about a minute. He spends another minute stuggling to come up with more to say about the line, until a Ominous Visual Glitch briefly turns this into a Mega Bloks review show! The Alternate Timeline Framing Device is used yet again, with the narrator instead being Eljay Johnson from Pandemic Panda. The 42nd episode at first starts as a review of the obscure Little Robots sets, and than appears to retread the prior April Fools gimmicks, glitching out into a "Kre-O Rewind" episode hosted by Nate's Minifigs... only for that to glitch out five seconds later into a Warts and All review of LEGO Rewind itself by My Brick Opinions, once again using the Alternate Timeline Framing Device as Brick Memories. | |
