In the past of I have relied on third party software to help me determine the cheapest possible route when buying parts from Bricklink. Brickficiency and Brick Wizard are two great programs that do that. However, both of these programs seem to be broken. Brickficiency hasn't been updated since Nov 2014 and Brick Wizard was from Jan 2015. It does sound like the developer of Brick Wizard is aware of the current issues and may have a solution however he doesn't have the time to update the program. Has anyone found a replacement program? Or am I stuck with just searching the store masses to find the best combinations? Thanks,

I've been thinking about using bricklink to build a set recently. Obviously it would be one that is since retired. I am debating between the Millenium Falcon, Taj Mahal, or Eiffel Tower, although none of those are concrete and I would like to here other suggestions. Has anyone had success with this, any recommendations on how to make it both cost efficient and successful?

I'm fairly new to my adult reintroduction of Lego, and this has meant i've had my beady little eyes on more of the larger more advanced sets to build, which inevitably has lead me to drool over some of the EOL more expensive sets available. And like a lot of people out there I can't justify paying (read: my wife won't let me pay) hundreds sometimes thousands on a set just to build it and break it down again (maybe display it if she thinks it's pretty and there's room). So with budget in mind I started bricklinking 10221 Super Star Destroyer. Now, apart from a few of the more expensive parts (I'm not bothering with minifigs) I've actually stayed fairly true to …

I don't know who of you followed this, but quite some time ago there was this boy with autism who really is into LEGO and into the titanic, so he wanted to build a gigantic LEGO Titanic. It seems as if he's finally been able to build his dream and honestly I'm so happy for him! Here you can find his homepage: http://www.brynjarkarl.com/ Maybe some of you also appreciate this. To me this is so beautiful, because to me LEGO never really lost it's magic and this boy and his dream of building a titanic just represents a lot of this magic. I always feel reminded of my childhood and I'm just so happy if I see LEGO (don't know if you people can follow ;-) ).

Does anyone know if it's possible to mod the hood so it looks better without having to buy new pieces? And also still convert to the Part 3 hood?

I felt like it was time to step up my game and start modeling more popular, more difficult Hypercars. I was able to create a suspension strong enough not to need torsion bar, for all you purists out there The Chiron is one hypercar most builders do not attempt, therefore I felt it was time to step up and see what happens! Flickr Album: https://flic.kr/s/aHskZHoj1H The Lego car blog: https://thelegocarblog.com/2017/05/15/money-monday/ The Chiron has curves & shapes difficult to replicate. This build began with the simplistic, strong and extremely reliable Framework. This vehicle has a custom W16 motor (designed…

Decided to make a little challenge for myself, wanted to make a Lego Bonsai having seen some very impressive MOC's, saw that 79002 was discounted and though "oo thats got a lot of leaves and brown bits" the other set that I looked at as a possible one to try it with was 9436 The Werewolf but thought it was a little low on the brick count and didn't have much "rock" so I guess I'm throwing it out to anyone else that fancies a single set challenge, Either 79002 or 9436. Build a bonsai tree and show it off. I've been working on one but I'm still not happy with it, looks too much like a bunch of bricks still.. I'll need to redesign

Hey Folks! Recently I've been displaying more and more custom creations (or just somewhat modified) Vs. actual LEGO designed sets. I guess I've just hit a point where i take more pride in something i have personally designed/fixed/added to. As many of you may have seen a few months ago; i made a large Jurassic World display with most of the JW sets (you can view that below), but as we all know - the JW sets other than the Dino's are pretty lame and not very screen accurate. So it started look a little kiddie on display with my 10179 and Pirate Ships and i took it down. However JP still is one of my favourite franchises and i felt bad not displa…

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?

Hey gang, Been reading the website for about a year now, but this is my first post. Has anyone tried buying all the pieces for a Green Grocer Modular 10185 or other ModularBuilding through the missing pieces feature of the Lego LEGO Shop at Home website? A good friend of mine has used LEGO Shop at Home to buy all his pieces to build over 20 Custom Modular builidings, but he's never tried to to buy all the pieces for an entire production set. I looked today, and you can buy all but 12 of the pieces for the Green Grocer set from LEGO Shop at Home. I figure I'd use brick link to pick up the remaining few pieces. This set would be for my own personal collection, n…

Hey everyone, So I had this vision to build a very small minimalistic black tiled frame that would be mounted behind my sets and lifted enough to be scene above the set. (rough sketch attached). I was curious if anyone had any idea on how to build these? Or have seen any sample builds out there? I figured I'd ask before I just jump in and start from scratch. I tried googling some, but a lot of them featuring gluing bricks ON existing frames and thats not what I want. I want to build something simple, all out of legos. That can "pinch" the print in a frame somehow. This frame does NOT need glass, I just need something that will hold maybe a 4"x6" print in place …

Hey guys and gals I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience in building a stadium? Honestly I'm really not sure where to begin. Not even sure how big I would like it. I'm thinking similar to a modular in relation to approximate size and brick number. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Picked one up for $515. It just arrives. Includes all 3 instructions. I'm also trying to figure out a way to get the box which is in below avg condition for next to peanuts. Anyway, I decided to start with the upper 3rd part. With all these dark bley elements, I'm started to go "mad". It is frak-in nuts (so many bags). ...and I thought all the white elements drive me crazy while building 10198 (Tantive IV) last week. I started grouping all the same elements together. Can't wait to sell this one. However, I need to build it for pics and make sure it is 100 % complete. The last I sold was in the box and had a few sealed bags so I never checked before selling…

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!

Hey Folks! So as you all know Dimensions came out with the Portal 2 level pack. I have long been a huge Portal fan and love the games. The writing/humour/gameplay is beyond anything else I've played. There was an Ideas project that ended up not making it into a final product: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/18258 which i was really rooting for. So when the Dimensions set came out i decided i would try to replicate this design so i could properly display the awesome Chell minifig. I also intend to make a GlaDOS that will hang in the top of a detolf (tops of detolfs have a hole) without all the support brackets used in the Ideas design. Below is the progress I've made so …

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?

I don’t really recall if anyone may have wanted to know how to build the San Diego Comic-Con The Ghost Starship exclusive mini-build but here goes anyway. Big credit goes to BrickTsar on YouTube for making a full video review with real good zoomed in shots of the parts list and a time lapse build slower than the previous Batmobile one. There was a few neat techniques and just a couple limited pieces which are the ice cream cone in black and the printed dome piece but everything else should be relatively BrickLinkable. I had to omit the astromech Chopper due to his torso and legs not being available in LDD. Be sure to click on each image if you need it enlarged same as b…

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.

Sorry if this topic was posted elsewhere. I searched but couldn't find. If your goal is MOC'ing, specifically city scenes (modular buildings, streets, railway, etc.), what's a better approach to gathering materials? Buying bulk on ebay or buying sets? For example, there's some discussion about the Tower Bridge being a good raw material set because of the high price per piece ratio. Would it therefore be better to buy that set? Assume I'm looking to build buildings in usual colors like dark brown, dark gray, tan, light blue, etc. Tower Bridge has a good amount of those. Or should I wait for what looks like a good ebay bulk sale in terms of the ki…

How often do you buy LEGO sets just for its bricks? If you are a MOC builder or buy used sets that don't have complete pieces, do you go out and buy sets just to get a section of your MOC done, or to finish the set.

Alez Jones (Orion Pax) has finally finished up his months long He-Man and the Masters of the Universe project! He even got a chance to present them at Grayskull Con 2013 to Mark Taylor, the creator of Masters of the Universe! The Brick Fan Article

About 1 year ago, I posted a thread asking which set. It was a lot of fun. While only a couple of sets from the list were built, many excluded from the list were. A couple of things were learned from the last vote that should improve this poll (e.g. less selections, not allowing multiple sections, 1 set per theme) *** There is only 1 rule. One vote per person. *** Voting will close this July 31th at 11:59PM EST.
