Hey guys, this is my first post on this forum. I live in China and was able to pick up this set. Take a look here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnyfounEhIg

I saw this the other day and thought it could be used to light lego models quickly and easily. Looks great, obviously there is the down side of having to draw on the lego bricks, but if it were on a base plate it wouldn't really matter as it wouldn't be seen. You could draw along the base plate to the points needed, a pretty easy and clean solution? Also not sure if this removable and would clean off the bricks. I don't know, whats people thoughts?

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, here I want you to meet my Airboat MOC. Thanks for watching and comment . üfchen Greeting

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!

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.

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:

i don't know the seller (out of Poland) but do know when building 10179, this element can get expensive and is often needed. Seller has 10 available. feedback looks "ok". it seems they have been selling 10179 elements since last nov. does the radar dish look "legit" ? i don't have 10179 so i'm no help. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Star-Wars-Millennium-Falcon-10179-part-/121159751532?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item1c35af176c they sell for much more on bricklink. http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=76248&colorID=86 here is what the actual item in ebat looks like.

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).

Something a certain someone said to me the other day got me thinking perhaps we could use a topic for showcasing all the sorts of MOCs inspired by or based on the many architectural styles in the known world. Now this isn't meant just for builds similar to the official Architecture line but rather all of them regardless of scale. Honestly this thread sounds more like Tom Alphin's area of expertise (the author of The LEGO Architect). Anyway here are some fan designs I came across. There really are a lot of Modern houses out there. Ha. Modern Town House Modern Modular Furnished Beachfront House Creator Modern House Ishoj House box N modular studio The Cubic Hous…

I'm not looking to invest, just for a fun, interesting, and relatively long build, with a really nice looking and satisfying end product. Do you think I should go with Architecture or one of the Modular Buildings? Specifically, I'm torn between Palace Cinema or Imperial Hotel. Thanks!

After some random research and browsing of certain sets (mainly City and modular houses), I noticed something a little discerning. A large lack of baseplates in any set at all anymore. For example, take a good look at the previous Fire Station in 2010. Aside from having a wierd floorplan, it used four baseplates of two different types. 16 x 16 baseplate with driveway & 8 x 16 baseplate Now take a look at this year's Fire Station. Less wierd floorplan but the structure is more odd and absolutely no baseplates used. Everything is thick three 16 x 16 plates and a single 8 x 16 plate. I don't know about you but for $100 I expect some actual baseplates t…

Between my own sorting of parts and something said on New Elementary, I wonder how people feel about the number of colors available in Lego bricks if there is too many or just enough. I believe there is at least over 20 different shades currently in use but I am not precisely sure. On one side, it can seem too many since a person needs to have a good amount of any one color for building something decent with continuity in color scheme otherwise the thing will look bizarre. Not many sets include a ton of a single color at once. If anything their selection is usually rather diverse therefore you are almost forced to either purchase a bunch of the same set and/or many diffe…

Hi all, an interesting question to all of us. Do you collect all sets from a particular theme or do you collect only the interesting sets for you from one line? For me personally it differs: 1. When I "love" a theme then I try to have all of theme (e.g. Indiana Jones, Fantasy Era...) 2. When I only like a theme then I try to have all sets without the old sets that have been remade (e.g. Star Wars UCS without old X-Fighter/Snowspeeder or Winter Creator theme without 10199) 3. When I don't like a theme (to much) I am only buying sets that are wonderful and interesting for me (e.g. Temple of Arjitsu from Ninjago or the ships from …

For those who build I was wondering. When building do you prefer building by instructions an "Emmet", or building without instructions "Master Builder"? I'm way more to the side of without. Just a big kid who never paid enough attention to every step. That and I still have way more fun building what ever from a pile of bricks. ***/f is the polar opposite, prefers building with instruction, and "having it right".

The new Arocs Technic truck (42043) should excite a lot of people. With the new pneumatic II pieces that are out, the set will one day bring in a nice price on the secondary market. However, I love it for other reasons. Just finished building it....and it was a blast. Also, I remember years ago when the Mercedes Benz Unimog came out and Artifex Creations put out a lighting kit specifically designed for the truck which was pretty cool. Their site is down for maintenance, and I am not sure if they are in the Lego lighting business anymore, but I thought of doing the same thing with the Arocs. I used the products are lifelights.com. Pretty happy with the results. A brief …

"....You're gonna need a bigger boat." LEGO Jaws Movie Poster by Lucifer Adams

I recently purchased instructions for a few large MOCs. I have all of the parts, and I was looking at the rather long build. Is it easier to pull all of the pieces before I begin (and maybe group them?) or wait till I need a part to go get it? I am also sorting my collection before I begin these builds and trying to figure out if there is an easy way to set it up my organization system, so I can pull the parts fast. Anyone with experience please share.

I was thinking about Bricklinking a 10179 at one point, and if you don't know, the Lattice pieces in the back cost about $320 for ONE PIECE of Lego. What do you think? What is the most you would pay for one piece to complete a set? I would just use a substitute. Assuming it didn't make a huge difference, I would spend maybe $20 on one piece before I went elsewhere. What about you all?

I got an email from LEGO about a Monthly Mini Build that is tomorrow at my local LEGO Store at 5pm.

I really had to share this!

Many pooh-poohed the UCS B-wing. I rather liked the model, but admit some changes were needed. I attempted to make the changes I felt were necessary to become a true UCS model. Pictures are on my MOC pages. http://mocpages.com/moc.php/390298
