Building LEGO

I am working on the Assault on Hoth set and should be done with it shortly. I am looking for ideas on how to display this set. While this set gets a lot of flack for any number of reasons, I think if done correctly it can be a very visually appealing display set. If anyone has any ideas on how they displayed it, or even if you don't own it but have ideas, they would be much appreciated. As of now I am not looking to display it with any other sets(though the fact it's so short on snowtroopers bugs me) so it will just be this set. Thanks!

I am asking myself what the majority of AFOLs without kids do with a set when it is built? It's clear that there are sets meant to be played with, others rather meant to be displayed only and some qualify for both. What do you buy sets for? Which are the ones you play with (on your own), which do you only put up to display?

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?

For all the years of building and taking apart LEGO I've never owned or even used a brick seperator. Am I the only one? I'm sure it comes in handy for those flat plates but I've always managed to get by.

I just watched the Lego designer video of the "Maersk Triple-E" and it must have 50 stickers for all the cargo boxes and I've watched some reviews on Youtube and they don't look all that great... I was curious if anyone has used standard plastic model-making techniques on Lego's; namely sticker'd parts? From my experience making Gundam models, there are things you can do to sticker/decal'd parts that will blur the lines between the sticker and the pieces, giving it a more "printed" look that most of us prefer. Or is this treading into dangerous territory; I've only heard of using these methods on DECALS and not necessarily stickers... Thanks! …

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.

I can´t help myself i need to do this remake of viral Donald Trump speech in Pensacola. I have use two motors for remote control of mouth speaking and head moving. Enjoy

I bet a lot of people here would meet the job qualifications (Do you have “LEGO building experience” and “a good knowledge of LEGO parts”?): http://qz.com/600927/dream-job-alert-legoland-is-hiring-model-builders/ Assuming location wouldn't be a problem (Florida): would you do it?

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.

So I recently acquired a used 7150 TIE Fighter & Y-Wing set, and was putting them together to figure out what pieces were missing. While I was putting together the TIE, I came across a funny looking piece... Knowing my LEGO bricks, I knew that this one had to be a mistake. I won't be sending this one back to LEGO, as it is obviously a very rare occassion, but I'm curious if this has ever happened to anyone else. My guess is that the plastic injector ran out of plastic, so the mold wasn't completely filled. Enjoy the pictures!! (Anyone notice my play with the title? EuroBricks, Error Bricks? Haha.)

Hi. I finally managed to build my EV3 omni/holonimic telerobot with anti collision-system. If you drive to close to anything it stop and reverse a bit, if needed. Sensitivity and reverse is adjustable. I will equippe them with laser tag weapons and laser aim system and so on. It can be remote controlled over the internet with live camera stream, so it is a internet camera robot, (that moves like a computer avatar in FPS computer game). It can be controlled over the internet from a mobile phone, ipad or computer, from a browser. I plan to build a internet game so that you can log in to robots and have a game with them like in https://www.isot…

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.

The new Exosuit is too much fun to build, and now that TLG is finally getting people's orders out they can build and modify this wonderful set. Here are my modifications! Check it out! http://mocpages.com/moc.php/396276

Anybody figure out a pattern or logic to LEGO including extra bricks to new sets other than just providing a small bonus? I don't build alot and I don't open multiples of the same set to notice a pattern. Maybe the parting out people can indicate if multiples of the same set have the exact number and type of bonus bricks? Or is it truely random in what you recieve in any given set. Sometimes when building sets in the 1000 piece range or more I am sometimes amazed that I'll have maybe 20 bricks left over, though I'm sure I completed the model 100% completely, lol! I can't say for sure because I'll never take the time to do a brick inventory count. But small sets of 100 or…

What do you do with the extra parts that come with each set? I have been putting them in a Ziploc bag and putting them in the box for the set. When I was younger I would mix them in with my random parts. So, what it is your method?

No one needs the machine! Since I found the construction exciting, I built the machine. But you shouldn't look too long at the middle that it has a hypnotic effect! Have fun https://youtu.be/Fpsn7HLn4XY

This F1 Racecar was something Dugald and I have been talking about doing for a long time. All of the regular batteries and motors just aren't fast enough. We tried our best to keep everything light weight, but enough paneling to show the curves of a real F1.

(I am quite fond of those tires, but I checked bricklink and found the cheapest used pair to be 110$ for all 4 so yeah... not going to buy em Back end fun by lachlan cameron, on F…

Having the Christmas spirit in me today, I thought I would start a thread where people could share stories or incidents affecting people other than themselves pertaining to Lego in a positive way. ie. Making a kids day because you didn't want that shredder polybag that you randomly gave him. I know this forum is about investing, making money, knowing what our plastic is worth etc. etc. but it feels like we forget how the end result can really affect people who whole heartedly love Lego. I will start with a link a coworker sent me today. http://globalnews.ca/news/1722843/how-kevin-bieksa-buying-a-star-wars-lego-set-changed-a-young-mans-life/
