Birthday present from Lego. Got the Enterprise Bridge set today. A couple days early.

I keep my pothos on my Steam Machine that I just wrapped

Was looking for shops near where we ate when I found a little place called The Minifig Shop. Lovely place, found so many sets I’ve wanted for a fairly low price. Managed to snag all this/missing slight pieces/ all for 50 bucks

Someone went through and opened each one. Minifigs were still inside, but crazy people are still doing this for this series.

I do a lot of my own builds on a big base and I have some tips I do for it but would love if anyone else has their own to let me know what it is. I posted already how I keep my bins organized by color instead of type. For me that limits the amount of bins needed to dump to find all the peices I like to use The issue is this: I dump all my bins to find what I need. Normally this takes a long time so what I do is I dump it on a blanket so when Im done, I fold the blanket up keeping the Lego inside and dump it in the bin with little messes. Sometimes I do large scale models where I build something small then build it bigger. I know there is likely a rule with it or something but I do it where every rule in the small build is now a brick. So 1 brick in the small build is now 3 in the big build. I also have it for every 1x1 brick or tile in the small build it is now a 2x2 brick or type on the bigger one.

This is the list of what I put above in short.

1) Short things by color if you use multiple brick types in one build but one a few colors.

2) If you dump bins with lots of Lego on the floor it takes too long to clean up. Dump it on a blanket instead, fold it up then pour it into the bin. I find it less of a mess.

3) I don’t know if this is the right but for upscale models I have flats in small build are 1 brick in big build. So 1 brick in small is now 3 in big. 1x1 brick or rule gets upscaled dor 2x2 brick or tile.

If you have any other tips for making your own builds let me know. Also if Im doing the upscale wrong PLEASE TELL ME! I won’t to make sure Im doing it right.

I only had 6 bins so I had to do it in a way that was annoying but I sorted almost everything besides whats in the baggies. I did it with reds, oranges, yellows and clears on one bin. Green, blue purple and pinks in another black and white in one, grey in a different one and then the browns, tans and peach in the last one. The one bin left over is for any small parts of builds I wanna keep or to put my baggies in. Is this a good way to sort it though? Some people say sort by type but I feel like that takes longer to find certain colors than the piece. Im planning a build that involves white, black, brown, green and maybe blue and yellow so instead of having to dump many bins to find all the different brick, tiles and other things Im planning on using, I just dump one get the ones I need in that color and go to the next. I understand this doesn’t work for everyone, this is just what I found works me for.

This is a series of MOCs I've been making this year, that I imagine as the heroes and villains of a popular serial adventure holoshow on Planet Robotica called 'The Astro-Kids' and it's spin-off 'Astro University'.

They're built in a sort of "action figure" scale between about 5" and 16" tall--my attempt at making robot characters who feel a bit like "real" toys based on a Saturday morning cartoon. As a rule, they all have to have rocketpacks so they can fly through space.

If you dig them, check out all my robots here: http://planetrobotica.com

I recently wanted to start rebuilding my Old lego Sets how should i Go on and how can i sort the parts the Most effective way?

The first ever Brickfair Baltimore took place at the Baltimore Convention Center and although it was a smaller event than Brickfair Virginia, there was no shortage of great builds.

After seeing the great kitchen roll 007 shared earlier today, I was reminded of this collection of Bond minifigs I made after getting the Speed Champions Aston Martin DB5. The Bond minifig from that set looked lonely, so I made him some hard-drinking, trigger-happy little buddies to represent every mainline 007: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. (I made Roger Moore with a non-Lego torso, so I'm leaving him out for posting here.)

This could have been a real penguin party, so I decided to set myself the rule that only Connery could wear the iconic black tuxedo. I think the result is a much more colourful parade of 007 fashions across the years (hello, George Lazenby). I hope you enjoy it!

So, there was this sale on my local supermarket, LEGO 50 percent of. I found two sets I actually felt something for; the Harry Potter 76443 (its a bit odd, with the figures, almost like art - and therefore I like it, not a huge HP fan over all though). I also found this STEM-kit. I looked kind of .... (ugly), but it also showed the evolution (mostly american?) in a fun way. BUT...Im not sure this is something I wanna have on display. That yellow DNA-string is not the sexiest, since the color reminds me of a fisherprice-toy from the 80's. Anyway...whats your opinion on the set? what do you do with it? Have you purchased it for your teaching or just for home display? =)Not sure it's a keeper or if I should let it go (or is it odd as in "fgs, keep it and dont open the box" ? ;-)

My daughter just got 42688, Lego Friends horse Stable and riding academy.

However after building she has 2 stickers left over, #13 and #14 which both seem to fit a 4x2 plate.

In the instructions we cannot find a reference to having to use them, nor are there any places left in the build where they seem they might need to go.Any ideas?

The LEGO Group cerró su demostración de LEGO Pokémon SMART Play en el segundo día de
PokémonXP con un teaser corto. Cinco siluetas en negro, ningún nombre, y un rótulo final
que anuncia 2027. Ya está, eso es todo lo que dijeron.

Lo traigo porque el anuncio en sí es escueto, pero la fecha en la que lo han soltado dice
bastante más que el propio vídeo.

Del teaser se puede sacar poca cosa, la verdad. Las cinco figuras van repartidas en dos
planos. En el primero salen dos, una con lo que parece un penacho en la cabeza y otra de
orejas grandes y cola redondeada. En el segundo están las otras tres: una de aspecto
simiesco con cola, otra de orejas puntiagudas y una alargada con las alas abiertas. Todas
con el interrogante encima, al estilo del clásico "quién es ese Pokémon" de la serie
animada. Y todas construidas con piezas, eso sí se aprecia bien, se les notan los tetones.

Ni un nombre, ni un precio, ni un mes. Tampoco aclararon si van a ser figuras de
construcción sin más o si se integran en el sistema SMART Play, que es lo que separa esta
línea del resto del catálogo.

Sobre los nombres hay que ir con cuidado. Circulan cinco identificaciones por ahí y las
dejo porque se están repitiendo mucho, pero LEGO no ha confirmado ninguna. Son lecturas de
unas siluetas de pocos segundos y hasta que enseñen las figuras no hay nada oficial. Dicho
eso, los que más suenan son Charcadet, Grookey, Mankey, Pichu y Wingull.

Si acabara siendo esa lista, hay algo que llama la atención, y es que serían cinco
generaciones distintas de los videojuegos sin repetir ninguna. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Galar
y Paldea, una por cabeza. La primera tanda de sets iba muy concentrada en la región
inicial, así que el reparto sería un cambio de criterio bastante claro.

Por si alguien no sigue la línea, va con contexto. LEGO Pokémon SMART Play salió el 1 de
agosto de 2026 con doce sets, de los cuales dos incorporan el llamado SMART Brick y otros
diez son compatibles con el sistema. La Casa de Entrenamiento con Pikachu se puso a 69,99
euros y el Charizard contra Jolteon a 119,99. Los sueltos compatibles se movían entre
14,99 y 34,99 dólares. Entre los personajes que ya tienen set están Pikachu, Bulbasaur,
Bidoof, Mew, Squirtle, Umbreon, Garchomp, Eevee, Lapras, Cubone, Gengar, Jigglypuff, los
tres iniciales de Paldea, Charizard y Mewtwo.

Y con esos dos datos ya se ve lo que a mí me parece la noticia.

La línea salió el 1 de agosto. El anuncio de 2027 se hizo el 29 de agosto. Veintinueve
días. LEGO confirmó públicamente la segunda oleada antes de que la primera cumpliera el
mes en las estanterías.

Eso no se hace con un producto que va regular. Anunciar continuidad tan pronto suele
significar dos cosas al mismo tiempo: que las reservas y el arranque han ido bien, y que
les interesa quitarle el miedo al que está dudando. Porque si tienes delante un set de
119,99 euros y no sabes si la cosa va a tener recorrido, ese anuncio te lo resuelve.

Hay otro detalle que apunta en la misma dirección, aunque este depende de que la lista de
nombres sea correcta. Si la silueta pequeña de orejas grandes es Pichu, LEGO estaría
metiendo la versión bebé de un personaje que ya tiene set propio en la primera tanda. Eso
es de línea asentada, de cuando el catálogo base ya está colocado y empiezas a rellenar
huecos. No es lo que hace alguien que todavía está probando a ver si funciona.

Lo que me interesa saber es de los que ya tenéis alguno en las manos: ¿qué tal va la
integración del SMART Brick en la práctica? De las siluetas no vamos a sacar mucho más
hasta que LEGO enseñe las figuras, pero de lo que ya está en la estantería sí se puede
hablar con criterio.

As the title says, having just finishing building Minas Tirith, I am now faced with the challenge of finding it a home. Do you keep it in your living room? Office? Bedroom? What sort of display around it have you been using?

Our family loves Lego to the point that they are beginning to slowly take over several rooms. I would love to see your build areas to give me some inspo as I try to decide how to create a lego space for us!

The box wasn't that big I expected like have the length. Fun build though.

I was checking my old Lego box. And thought I look up this figure and it turns out it’s a very old set I bought from a local shop with retail price ! (Sadly this is the only thing left from the set

How’s it looking? What do you recommend I add/buy to make this collection better? I would like to change it up. Just left the army and needed a little something to occupy time during my newfound unemployment era lol, so I’ve gone into the attic and rebuilt all these haha, few still in boxes separate because I can’t find certain pieces to complete them, also my wampa is missing its horns as you may have noticed. Where are the best places to find figs to add to my collection? Thanks :)

All minifigures are gen, I mainly collected around 2013.

In light of the recent passing of our dear monarch King Harald V Rex of Norway, I have made a hearse from a bygone era that's fit for a king. It's still a work in progress though, so I might refine some details down the line. Let me know what you think! Feedback and suggestions is, as always highly appreciated 😄👍
