Building LEGO

Well gang, it's already that time of the year once again for Vic Viper mania. A little more than a week into the month and already we have a slew of grand designs. Who will be featured on the massive collage for the end? Who indeed. >Syris1 - perspectives by Sylon-tw, on Flickr >Soviet Hellion VTOL Vic Viper by Genghis Don, on Flickr >RM-als14 fighter by Legonardo Davidy, on Flickr >Intergalactic Girl's Vic Viper by SpirituInsanum, on Flickr >Outlaw Vic Viper by Genghis Don, on Flickr >Vic Punisher - Space by Brixnspace, on Flickr

Interesting article on the BBC site today about current day sets removing a lot of the imagination from building. Would be good to hear peoples views on this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-29992974

Hey guys, 34 years old here, and just got back into building Lego sets after a long time, thankfully my wife is cool with it, though she doesn't really like to participate unless it is a small build. Just wondering, what do other Afols do after they build their sets. Can't say I'm interested in playing with them, I think what I find the most attractive about this hobby is the zen like feeling you get when you're building, you just don't think of anything else and your mind feels at peace. Once I'm done, I love displaying the sets in my living room, especially the beautiful ones like the council of elrond and the unexpected gathering. Don't think I'll be displaying t…

I am new to LEGO. I have bought maybe six or seven sets. I would like to expand my collection. I want to get bricks that are versatile and can be used in many different ways. I like to make my own creations, so I want to get bricks that will let me create my own ideas and not just variations of the set on the box picture. So my problem is that the sets in store are made mostly to create what's on the box. ( I know they can create more.) And the creative buckets have just square, blockish blocks. Plus the sets don't have the colors I need, or have colors I won't ever use. Mostly I like to make space ships, so green blocks don't look right. Other than buying individua…

For all the years of building and taking apart LEGO I've never owned or even used a brick seperator. Am I the only one? I'm sure it comes in handy for those flat plates but I've always managed to get by.

Ever since I saw the movies I loved Star Wars. Being one of the most impressive vehicles on screen of course the AT-AT was something I wished for when I was younger, stay playing with LEGOs not thinking about investing ;-) There have been quite some AT-ATs and they all have something going for them, though since it's my first one I prefer the newest edition. Anyhow, I always would have loved to see a HUUUGE UCS model of this one. But as you all might be aware of there is nothing like it available. So some of you might already know those MOC AT-AT, but if you have not seen them before you might love them just as much as I do. (if you didn't know: MOC =…

last week I tried to upload a modular moc to ldd and it's still hung up. Has anyone else noticed this or know what's up? warning this thread will self destruct in one day (with mods help)

A day to celebrate (for me personally). My Lego youtube page reached over 1,000,000 views. Mostly due to the High Speed Passenger Train Video. https://www.youtube.com/user/allnewbricks

hey everyone, i went to the 2014 Designer Con in pasadena a couple of weeks ago and checked out their annual LEGO display, FILLED with amazing creations from various Lego Master Builders (all for sale) and curated by brick nerd. check these awesome builds out! hope you like the video!

so i went to the 2014 Designer Con a couple of weeks ago and SURPRISINGLY found a brand new SERIES 1 case at the Brick Nerd booth... $10.00 per bag... sadly (even though they said no one picked through the case) there were NO ZOMBIES so i walked across the way and found Citizen Brick who offer custom tampo'd bricks and minifigured parts that are AWESOME! different variations of zombie heads, torsos etc. also they have a lot of adult & mature themed minifigures lol like scarface, sex slave gimp, biker dude in leather chaps and bikini gals.... lol too hilarious... check out my vid for a review of their booth and some of the awesome items they have…

Why the spoiler tag you ask? Well, let us just say like many of Citizen Bricks' other products, this too is rather 'adult' in material. Don't get weird though; it's still Lego for Pete's sake. Besides it's hilarious and check out those dollar bills! This should be right at home next to the Breaking Bad meth lab. I practically forgot the website link for purchase. Sorry about that.

I am not looking for something as huge as the one in the link, maybe just the size of one of the medium sized Architecture sets. Does anyone have any idea if there is someone selling instructions or a smaller MOC somewhere?

Hello! I want to introduce my build - The Mirror of Galadriel. The set is dedicated to the iconic scene from "The Lord of the Rings" where Lorien queen Galadriel shows hobbits their future, using the magic elven mirror. The set consists of approximately 100 pieces and includes 2 minifigures. I also posted my work on LEGO Ideas, so if anyone like it, he may support it. After acquiring 10000 supports, my work can be released as official LEGO set. The link on my project page: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/85110

You can either go to Shop Kits to order two die cut stickers with official Lego pieces as shown below or visit Shop Stickers to just have a pack of four die cut stickers without any pieces to use in any way you please.

I really like the sdcc version of the classic style batmobile but won't pay those prices and can't find the instructions yet. So that leaves me to using the LDD to figure it out and parting it through bricklink. Has anyone tried to recreate this? I'm stuck on the back end due to lack of pictures. And on the front bumper how the two center pieces http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3049 connect so closely. If anyone has found pics of the back end the link would be appreciated.

I searched and didn't see this one but if it already exists mods please merge. So I was breaking down my Tumbler, selling it as used, and I was just amazed at the level of complexity to this build. It gave me a new appreciation for some of the different techniques that are used when I was taking it apart So what were some of your most challenging builds and why? This may help others select their next set or help them avoid one. My top 3 easiest to hardest: 3. United Nations, after 40 years of not playing with Lego I saw this set at BN and those translucent blue tiles were just calling my name, little did I know what I was getting into. As a kid I just did f…

Just posting a random thing people do with lego http://lego.gizmodo.com/these-lego-in-a-bottle-are-so-awesome-i-want-to-try-it-1645826627

I was searching for the best websites with ideas for building lol (League of Legends) heroes using Legos. I've found coolgamers.club, which features building heroes from Lego minifigure parts. Do you know any other such sites, and which one is the best for you?

So, worth a post here, board seems to be dead today Is there any current sets out there that are going to give me a nice brick/$$$ ratio for just building lego? the starter/builder boxes seem rather lame. I raided my old stash of Lego from my parents house and it has a bunch of 2x4 bricks, cloudy windows and not a lot of cool stuff like they have now. I sold off all the minifigs for 2x the black gate and am building the double black gate set up, but are there any other sets out there that just have a lot of bricks? Using the hobbit/LOTR as an example, other than Helms deep, and maybe the black gate, the sets seem to run high on the minifigs, and you almost nee…
