Building LEGO

Was working on parting out Set 21151 The End Battle, and came across these. Codes you can enter in the game for Skins. Also, I like seeing all the new parts that come out, and also everyone’s favorite parts so I thought I’d start a new thread dedicated to it.

Again, looking for something else and ended up finding these brilliants MOC's instead. Check it out! Both built by Luke Watkins Hutchinson (aka Derfel Cadarn on flickr).

Hi. There is again a good telerobotics app for android called RoboCam. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.proghouse.robocam&hl=en_US You build a Mindstorm's EV3 robot and tape on an android mobile. The mobile connects with Bluetooth to EV3 and then with wifi to the internet. It can then be remotely controlled from other countries from a mobile or computer in a browser. Here is some collected info from their website about their app development. http://www.proghouse.ru/tags/robocam Translate it with Google translate. https://translate.google.com It is not in open source as CellBots was released in 2009. www.cellbots.com …

I am about to embark on a massive building spree.....going to build 6 modular buildings - FB, GE, PS, TH, PC, PR For those that have built all of these, what order would you suggest building them in? I thought about just building them in the order they came out, but thought that maybe others have a better suggestion for the order in which to build these. Thanks in advance for any advice for can provide!

To think I was born around the middle of this line's run, and by the time I would have been old enough to start it quietly retires. Imagine an original theme running for a good decade before heading off into the sunset. Also imagine being limited to three colors of red, blue, & yellow for a build with the occasional white and green for accents or foliage.

Some sets are enjoyable for the build and the challenge but in your opinion which ones are/were fun to play with afterwards? Also what designs offered a lot of play features? Additionally for the parents what builds did you have fun putting together and/or playing with your children?

Downhaul Docks is a quaint village style fish market inspired by the coastal fishing towns of the northern Atlantic Ocean. Designed on a peninsula layout, the facility has three ports of entry for small, medium, and large ships. The base floor has room for seafood processing for the fishermen to trade with the sellers. Buyers can enter the upper market for fresh catches of the day or wander down to the lower dock to charter a boat of their own. With sea flags, a boardwalk style pier and nautical elements, this intricate design will surely roll with the tide in your bustling town! (Requires 756 pieces total.)

... enjoy the videos of my latest MOC

Hi all, Last weekend I visited a small Lego show in the South of The Netherlands: "Bricktopia". I made a lot of HD video's and some pictures. Unfortunately the pictures were taken with my Vintage Iphone so my apologies for the quality. I saw some great models and a very nice medieval scenery. There was a table where children could do some building, that gave me extra time to walk around . I hope you enjoy the pictures!:

I am a LEGO addict for many years now. I am female, in my late 50's and love to build. My hubby bought me the Imperial Star Destroyer UCS for our 25th anniversary about 13 years ago. Our first adult date was the first Star Wars movie (We have known each other since we were babies). I was so excited. I like the BrickPicker site and am slowly getting my Brickfolio logged in. I do have a question though. I have an extensive collection of LEGO Creator Town sets and the numbers do not come up when I want to add them to my Brickfolio. Is there a problem in the system or just that they aren't worth much? I became a collector of these town sets back in March and have built them …

Hi Brickpickers! I just wanted to share an idea I was thinking of to see if anyone has done something similar before. By trade I am a draughtsman / designer and use the standard drawing programme AutoCAD. To brush up on my 3d modelling / new inventor programme, I was thinking of recreating our little beloved bricks and assembling them on the computer. Each individual part will need to be drawn out and then they can be pieced together individually. Due to the eductational nature of this, I thought throwing lego into the mix would make it much more interesting Has anyone done this before? What would be a good set to start with? Personally was thinking one of the st…

So who here actually builds things along with their investing? I don't find quite the time anymore to build like I'd like to, but here are a few things I've made:

Has anyone remade market street by buying the pieces and using the online instructions? Its 1200 some odd pieces just wanted to know what was the ballpark price you paid for the pieces? How many different places did you go to buy the pieces? How hard was it to find the pieces? This would be my first time doing this. The original is just too costly and you could add your own twist of color to it. Any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks for your help and input.

So I'm about to finally start building out my lego city and I just realized that SAH has limits on the train tracks and road plates... I guess the expectation is that you need to get more at a physical location or another retailer. Seems odd to me, but what do I know... either way it got me thinking if there are cheaper ways of getting these items outside of the traditional boxed items at a 20% discount or so? Is pick-a-brick route a viable/cheaper way, other options? Before I invest too much time and $ in this stuff figured I'd check what others have experienced... thx!

Hi. I got into Lego at age 65 because of my grandson who lives and breathes this stuff. At first I thought he was nuts, but some of these sets are so beautifully designed that they are a pleasure to watch him build. He is 6 years old, and is very much into Ninjago and Star Wars. He has built all of the large Ninjago sets, the dragons and the Fire Temple, and he is into the ships from Star Wars. Anyway, we just built the Venator, and the "problem" with the build is that there are no "legs" or stand for the ship to rest on. The ship rests on nothing...it just sits there. We are trying to figure out a type of stand that might be built for it...nothing elaborate...something …

After the demise of Railbricks.com, things were a bit "empty" in the LEGO Train railroading world. Luckily Cale Leiphart (a famous LEGO Train AFOL) has stepped into the void with a few buddies and today marks the launch of http://www.brickmodelrailroader.com. I'm hoping they manage to turn this into an ongoing stop for LEGO Train addicts. Take a look yourself.

This is great! All made by Lego bricks http://www.toyfast.com/blog/legorollsroyce/

I am going to get the 10240 X-Wing Fighter soon and I am just wondering if any of the Brick Picker members have built the 10240? Was it fun? Was there anything challenging about the set that I should know about?

For bigger builds is there a preferred way to sort bricks for building? I am getting ready to embark on my first really big build.

While patiently waiting for I-brix Happy and satisfied!

So I bought and built 79103 Turtle Lair Attack and noticed one of the pieces in the instructions is different from the piece included in the set. The piece in question is the black cage-like piece pictured below: The one in the instructions has only two pegs, but the one I have has four. Will this have any effect on the resale value or is this just an instruction misprint? Just curious if I should contact Walmart or Lego regarding it as it is very noticeably different and I don't want the next owner to think I'm trying to pull a fast one over on them or anything.

So I got thirsty after my wife got mad at me. Or....I got thirsty while building with LEGO. Either way...... Story at http://mocpages.com/moc.php/413268
