Building LEGO

Hi Brickpickers! I finished building the 2nd floor of my Pet Shop, but the maintenance guy is just about to paint the walls for remodeling. I want to redesign my 2nd floor, but have any of you created a design plan with more rooms, a bed, tv, etc as a MOC? Please comment or add pictures to this thread!

Just started building 10240-1 and found a piece from the stand that was basically flying around in the box and not in any of the numbered bags. Is this normal?

I have a lot of nice sets I would like to build, but at the same time I know that some of them would be worth a lot down the road. I would love to have 2 of each so I could build and keep, but my budget doesn't allow me to. What would you do if you were in my place and had the urge to build some of them?

1ST PLACE The Flying Piranha and the Imperial Fort - Cara & Legonardo 2ND PLACE The Shark Reef - Yatkuu & 6Kyubi6 3RD PLACE Imperial Fort - Simon_S & Soccerkid6 4TH PLACE Privateer Port & Pillar Hideout - Captain Nemo & MstrOfPppts 5TH PLACE Hunt for the Maya Treasure - Sebeus & Kabel

It's amazing the things you can do with enough LEGO bricks. http://www.superawesomemicroproject.com/

I'm building a Palace Cinema set, and noticed one item is in the box but the wrong color. Is this worth it to report to Lego and ask for a replacement? It's nothing special just a 1x4 piece in the box is a brownish one and according to the manual it should be black.

Feeling hungry and have the itch to build? https://www.flickr.com/photos/120812471@N02/sets/72157642592009044/

I noticed this on their website before for a couple months as a "Coming Soon!" design. Looks like they finished the design finally. Starlight Terminus Train Station

I'm about to finally start planning/organizing for my Hollywood Studio Backlot. I have a list if a bunch of parts that I need to order from bricklink. My question to all of you: do you purchase new or used pieces when working on a MOC. I would love to save some money, but I dont want the pieces I use to look beat up (the pieces from my childhood are not even beat up). Do you guys rely on one condition brick, or do you purchase both new and used?

A small LDD MOC i made, if you like please support it on cuusoo ! Thank you anyway http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/58316

Does anyone know how to get the instructions to build this machine? (link below to article) I tried clicking on the link but it seems to be down. IF someone was lucky enough to read this when it was released please please share it with me. Thanks http://gadgetsin.com/make-your-own-batmans-tumbler-and-the-bat-with-lego-bricks.htm

Hi guys, I am curious to see the talent of our members. I really like minecraft lego and just bought myself 3 boxes of the "first night" I find this set has a lot of rebrickability There are so many nice landscapes you can build I have not got round to building them yet but I would like to see some of your custom builds on these sets. If you have a unique or beautiful custom minecraft build please share them here in this thread Thanks!!

I am new to the Lego world, but have become hooked. I have had some issues, wondering if anyone else has. Bought Pet shop new in September, received 2 instruction book #2 no #1. Got Death Star for Christmas, and while the instruction book is impressive it was missing 2 pages. Grand Emporium came with the flower part for roof with no hole, had to have Lego send new part. Is it just my bad luck?

I just shot and edited this yesterday. Launched about an hour ago. I'm looking for any feedback. I was tired of viewing a person ramble for 5 -7 minutes on a set that I just want to see being built with close-ups of details. Figured I'd just do it myself. Let me know what you think.

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…

The last Lego sets I put together were in the early 80's (space sets). I haven't opened any of the stuff I've bought over the last two years, and don't really have the desire to.

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?

found this and hoping the two creators are on this site and can add more photos. great builds and what looks like a happy life with LEGO

It took me a whole lot of planning as well as an understanding of the full sized modular houses but I finally managed to come up with a design utilizing only the pieces included with the three Log Cabin sets I purchased. As it currently stands, it is not a true modular design. However, that can easily be remedied by placing this build across a 16x32 baseplate and inserting four 1x2 bricks with the Technic pin hole in the proper spots but of course that would have used parts not included in the original set(s) itself so they were omitted for this personal challenge of my own design. I was lucky there were just enough tiles to cover the floor and furniture of which I really…

Choose as many answers as you want! Weigh in! It's my first poll, so I would appreciate your opinions! So...what do you think?

Anyone know of any website that has Modular MOC's step by step instructions? I know there are many that you have to pay for. But are there any that have free instructions and guides?

After seeing a post on The Brother's Brick, I got inspired and decided to create my own small scale THE LEGO MOVIE logo. Because of my lack of pieces, I had to construct a cube and build the words over it. I know that grey is not the ideal color, but that is what I had. I still want to buy some pieces on Pick-A-Brick to finish off the texture on the front. Here's the back: Comments, criticisms, and suggestions welcome!

Recently I began exploring building sets virtually to determine if the set is worth the build value for my own desire and potentially reading into my buyer base. Here is what I do: I downloaded LEGO Digital Designer and found some instructions from sets. I have built all the Star Wars potentials and the DC and Marvel items and have found something interesting. I have discovered bricks that are new and kind of exclusive! It is fun to see that Lego has many custom bricks which has in my opinion increased the desire in the set. I also decided to design some CUUSOO projects and looked over the CUUSOO sight and what is in the works. They have some very cool ideas …

Just a random thought but when (if) you display your sets, do you separate the yellow minifigs from the flesh ones? Say you have Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc. sets that some of the early licensed sets used the yellow while the newer ones used the flesh... do you display them all together? Maybe it's just my OCD but when they're all together it looks... weird.
