Building LEGO

I have found that since I have gotten back in to Lego that sometimes when I look at buildings I am thinking of how I could build them out of Lego. Am I the only one?

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?

Inspired by German villages, this half timber three story building has the classic look of a hillside village shop in the den of the Bavarian forests. Complete with bakery and cool pretzel sign, this modular is an elegant addition to the café corner street scene. Now where is Lederhosen Guy? Here is the product page.

What have any of you found as the best way to orgainize these things: Complete sets, extra pieces for building, and your minifigure collection? I currently try to consolidate as many sets as I can in one box (not all of my sets are in one box. I have like, 30+ boxes, 10 of which are huge. What I mean is that if I get a large bin and I can squish 20 sets in there or fit 10 sets comfortably, you better believe I am squishing them). The sets are also orgainized (as much as possible) by theme/subtheme. I have a box for DC, and one for Marvel, both the same size. I have more than 2/3rds of the boxes dedicated to Star Wars, and I try to keep them orgainized, but I have wa…

I'm sure we all remember seeing this amazing contraption. LEGO Mindstorms "Pinball Machine" Now that was way back in 2005. Here's a vid on YouTube that was posted in 2010 for a LEGO NXT Pinball Machine. Pretty darn impressive. Here's a link to a CUUSOO project for a smaller but similar idea. LEGO CUUSOO - Pinball Machine Now there's a thought, what if LEGO actually created a pinball set? I don't necessarily mean a full-sized table (god knows how expensive that would end up being) but how about a small table-top pinball machine? It would still end up being a bit pricey but could at least be more affordable compared to actual pinball machines, old or new. I…

Does anybody know why there is an headphone switch on the controller in the 8293 power function set ? Thanks !

For all you futurama fans. We have a simpsons set, if only we could get a futurama set too.... http://nerdapproved.com/toys/this-6-foot-tall-lego-bender-has-interchangeable-heads/

A Summer In Tuscany by Pau Padrós, en Flickr Hey guys, just in case you're interested, this is a little modular MOC I finished a couple weeks ago. There's a whole album about it on Flickr. About its design, there's not much to say. Assembly Square's setup (48x32), only tuned up for a Tuscan/Emilia Romagnan little square (Firenze, Lucca, Piasenza, Modena, Ravenna etc.). I do think it's nice, hope you like it! It's actually the second modular I do that features yellow prominently, but here I believe it's used in a more balanced manner. Besides, I've tried to capture some of the summery details that are often hard to convey in Lego, for instance, the tree peeking b…

Hello, i was searching for about 100 of these pieces (3633) in dark bluish gray,but prices are really too high! I cannot manage to find one at less than 2 eur each in europe. Now checking recent sales on bricklink it seems that there were bought a lot in past months for like 0,20 cent each but now there is like a general sold out. So i was wondering why this happened and if you know where else i can buy that parts from. Thank you in advance

I took my boys to the Richmond VA Lego Fest this last weekend. I was really impressed that Lego kept my boys excited about building 4.5 hours. Lots of builds and games to play with no lines. My wife and daughter were supposed to attend but had to attend a soccer tournament. Boys day out was awesome. Enjoy the video.

I volunteered to create company logo with LEGO but can't commit due to time. Is there anywhere out there that will take a logo and create a MOC with pieces required? I started designing in LDD but just don't have the time. Money isn't a big constraint. They want to display this at a corporate event.

You are a lego investor. And suddenly you have only 24 hours to live. Which lego set in your warehouse will you open to build for one last time?

Hi Fellows , this one is also part of my collection ! just wanted to share it ! The Hangar 327 Escape (Collectors Edition) is a Diorama recreation made in LEGO pieces of the scene of the original movie: Star Wars, Episode IV,

For those with large city's landscapes etc... Baseplates have not taken a huge jump in pricing. I need a lot of baseplates. Like 30-40. What is the best source, does anyone use non, lego baseplates? The idea of dropping crazy money just on baseplates eeks me.

New house has a pretty substantial office space that is dedicated to my built displays, etc. But what I don't have currently is a table to actually build on... Anyone have any pictures of what they use or any cool ideas?

Don't recall anyone else discussing this, so I apologize if this is old news. Has any seen the traveling LEGO Americana Roadshow that's currently on tour at various malls across America this year? It's currently at the Riverchase Galleria in Birmingham. I only had time to snap quick iPhone pics of 4/9 attractions, but I plan to go back Labor Day Weekend with my camera for a complete documentation.

Very interesting article.... Enjoy. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303460004579193901642418812

Picked this set up for $35 from Walmart and decided to re-create it as The Hulks Vegetable Garden. Let me know what you guys think?

Hello All, Nearly everyone loves the new 42009 crane. Largest Technic set to date. The possibilities are endless. I have recently MOD'd mine out to capture the brilliance of the Liebherr 1500 8.1. Now, there is a youtube video going around trying to lift the 8070 supercar with the crane. Failed pretty bad. Would a much larger crane do the trick?
