Posted December 19, 2022 I just decided to buy a LEGO Lion Knights' Castle as Christmas present to myself. It was sold out at official store so I bought from overseas though. Share this post Link to post

Did you know that Corpsegrinder's hobby when on the road is playing those claw machines? He's apparently really good at them, and then at the end of each year, he donates all the stuffed animals he won from the claw machines all year to Toys for Tots. Share this post Link to post

Posted January 23, 2023 I'm so glad I found this thread! I only got into Lego as an adult because I wasn't allowed Lego as a kid ('Lego is for boys" is bunk and Lego is for everyne, regardless of gender!). I recently watched the Lego Elves on Netflix and I wish I hadn't missed those Lego sets. (the airship in particular is pretty cool). I mostly like the Lego City, Creator and Technic sets. I've pulled a lot of my sets apart to sort the pieces but I'm putting them back together now that I have a table to put everything on. I need to take a photo of what I have so far. Nice to meet everyone! Share this post Link to post

Posted January 24, 2023 19 hours ago, Lagie said: Mudslide Those are all pretty cool but I love how you used the brown hair piece in this one! It looks like a geyser or something flowing up and it really gives a lot of movement to the piece! Such a creative use for something that I haven't really seen used much in mono builds. I also love the little goat buddy and the swirly ice cream pieces on the beginners slope. The clear pieces are a nice 'icy' touch as well :3c My current build- remaking the castle to put on the other side of the lake.

I actually also have the limited print *Sydney" plaque for the Lego store but I didn't want to use it. It seemed like it would be something better kept in it's packet. The train was fun! I kinda wish that I'd gotten the cargo train because it has like a crane / cargo mover thing but I couldn't find one. I've seen someone use the Lego leg pieces for architecture stuff and I thought that was pretty cool. I'm trying to think of cool ways to use pieces but I mostly stick to the instructions. Do you make many MOCs? Share this post Link to post

I belong to a Facebook group that has weekly and monthly MOC builds so I'm starting to try more. In the builds with polls, I nearly always end up last but at least the building is fun.

As long as you're having fun, that's the most important thing! I think organizing the pieces and following the instructions is fun, so I prefer that to making my own original pieces. How do the Minecraft blocks compare with normal Lego pieces if you don't mind me asking? I was kind of tempted by the Minecraft bakery (my town needs some sort of farm and I like the vibes) but I wasn't sure how the block proportions worked. Are the Lego figures and the Minecraft figures compatible size wise? Like are they the same height sort of thing? Share this post Link to post

Oddly, the bakery is the first one I've found that has very few. I still have it waiting to be built. The scale is comparable but they're a bit hard to combine with the other more detailed sets as they tend to be open to the elements. Share this post Link to post

I do like more 'enclosed' sets where you can move the walls to open them and close them again. I might hold off on getting any of the Minecraft sets until I can figure out a satisfactory way of closing off some of the walls and trying to tie the place together with some sort of coherent theme. I need to check out the pick a brick wall the next time I go into a Lego store in case they have a nice colour that I can use everywhere. Thanks for the help and the warm welcome!

Posted February 2, 2023 A new store opened in Miranda (an hour away by train) and they had a promo on for the Miranda store where you spend over $200 and get a build of the store to go with the other Lego store I have. I bought a chess set for my partner and the boutique for me (it was heavy bringing it back home in one bag). Also, I found out my fave colour scheme is a type of color blindness called tritanopia, and Lego yellow makes such a nice pale pink! This is going to be my Valentines day present to my partner. Sure the LEGO flowers are pretty but we can spend more time together playing games. Share this post Link to post
