The LEGO Group’s signature designer videos for a select few sets vary in length, with one recent entry being especially long.

LEGO designer videos offer a chance for design teams to explain the developmental process for a set and present insight into its creation. As of late, they have mostly covered the biggest LEGO set available and this means some equally long videos.

Featuring 10307 Eiffel Tower, 10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell and 10292 The Friends Apartments, here are the longest LEGO designer videos ever, as found in the official YouTube playlist.

10292 The Friends Apartments is the biggest set based on the sitcom but it sits at the bottom of the list with its designer video having a runtime of seven minutes and two seconds. It includes Andy Grubb and Ioana Popescu guiding us through the references and minifigures.
