Some of these might a be a good starting point as they already exist in the catalog
and can be used/tweaked with...
Loads of skeleton parts and minifigs out there too

The are rumours of a D&D minifigure series coming later this year.
However for your wants, just type individual characteristic parts into the search.
Skeleton will get you a skeleton and hood will find you a selection of hoods
to turn them into a reaper. Maybe add a cape. Search for butterfly or wings (even
better if in minifig, body wear) will suggest some wings for a moth. Minotaur,
fox and angel will be good keywords for the other characters.

| I know this does not say "MKI"; however, this does have "MK"
before the set number. Perhaps before they added roman numerals they just called
it "MK", but then when they decided to add roman numerals they put the
set number before the "MKII" and "MKIII".

Hi,
You can only advertise for items that are currently for sale in your store.
But your store is still closed (waiting verification maybe?).

I can confirm this; I just went 5 for 5 at a Barnes & Noble. But unfortunately
there is a catch: it only works if the box has a “large” QR code (see picture:
top box is a large code). Hopefully this trend continues. I remember that the
first two CMF series had unique bar codes back in 2010 before code readers were
ubiquitous, but LEGO quickly put a stop to that.

I agree; yellow figures make me frustrated.
Right now, all of my yellow minifigs are at

radiation can be effectively used to treat jaundice in LEGO® minifigures. I'm

I absolutely disagree.. the yellow is classic and nostalgic and, in my mind,
my Lego characters I make have no issues with racism because everyone is the
same color. It’s a non-issue. So I hope they leave it as it is and reserve the
flesh tones to other IP sets.

I hear you. A few years ago (when first introducing my son to Duplo) I was keen
to introduce some POC minifigs so that he could see his friends represented there.
I tracked down the World People set through a specialist retailer, but I remember
being shocked at the price. At the time, I was purchasing a lot of sets second-hand
on eBay, and it was hard to find (older) affordable sets that had inclusive characters.
To be fair - looking back now, the cost was actually in line with what you'd
spend on a LEGO Minifig Series box today, I just didn't know that at the
time.
That said, I DO feel that Lego is making strides in this area. The inclusion
of new facial features, hearing aids, new wigs, etc. are all exciting to me.
What I would love to see next is the option to recolour minifig parts on Pick
a Brick. For example, in a perfect world, I'd be able to gift my son a light-coloured
minifig head with a hearing aid for £0.23 + PP. At the moment, I don't think
I am able to do this unless I go to a specialist 3rd-party recolouring site
(someone correct me if I am wrong).

| Hi there!
I'll share with you how I was able to make The Orient Express Train (21344)
move through the Studgate Station (910002) by adjusting the height of the stairs
leading to the terrace.
You'll need the following parts:
10 Black Plate 1 x 2
4 Black Plate 1 x 4
4 Black Plate 1 x 1
6 Black Plate, Round 1 x 1
You can see how to assemble parts on attached pictures (I used coloured parts).
You have to rotate the Black Plate 2 x 4 below the upper stair.
Feel free to share how you achieved this or how it can be improved.
My train is leaving. Bye!

Neat! Thanks for sharing this. It's a great idea.
I had so much trouble getting the roof attached to my Station that I would be

| Hi there!
I'll share with you how I was able to make The Orient Express Train (21344)
move through the Studgate Station (910002) by adjusting the height of the stairs
leading to the terrace.
You'll need the following parts:
10 Black Plate 1 x 2
4 Black Plate 1 x 4
4 Black Plate 1 x 1
6 Black Plate, Round 1 x 1
You can see how to assemble parts on attached pictures (I used coloured parts).
You have to rotate the Black Plate 2 x 4 below the upper stair.
Feel free to share how you achieved this or how it can be improved.
My train is leaving. Bye!

It's quite a famous set. It was the reason we decided to sell 10,000 copies
instead of 5,000 for the BDP invitational series. Being one of the first to go
through a new process, it has a number of unique characteristics you will not
see elsewhere, including the story of the red crab.
It is also in a line of outstanding castle sets:
https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-1/482/Mountain-Fortress
This last one will be sold in the spring, and we don't know exactly how it
will fare. But it is beautiful and huge.

They are beautifully designed sets for sure.

Author: | Saitobricks.ca | Posted: | Dec 23, 2023 11:05 | Subject: | Re: Is Rock Raiders a space theme? | Viewed: | 44 times | Topic: | LEGO products | |
|
| Yes rock raiders is a space theme. At least according to the video game.
HOWEVER take away the game and there is little evidence of space anything.
In the game the rock raiders come from a massive space ship that was sucked into
a wormhole. And the rock monsters are aliens.
But take the game away and they are just miners, and the rock monsters are, well
just rock monsters.
It all depends on how you look at it. There is evidence that the game was developed
with the sets, therefore meaning that the game and the theme are vary closely
related and go together.
But the theme was heavily influenced by the game which in my opinion means that
rock raiders is indeed, a space theme.

had a booklet with a Space theme timeline in it, and Rock Raiders
is not in that. Whether that is proof that they don't consider a Space theme
is debatable.
I doubt they care too much, at least for public facing information, as it is
not a current theme. And even if it was a current theme, it would just be classed
as "Rock Raiders" for the website. There is no space theme on LEGO's
official website.
I assume that the sets would appear if it was current and you used the menu to
choose "interests" then "space", just like if you use that today
it will bring up anything space related. But that is not really a theme selector,
as if you use it now it picks up the ICONS Space Shuttle through to the Duplo
Space Shuttle, the City Space theme, the ICONS Galaxy Explorer and the Star Wars
theme. It is "space" as an interest filter for current products, not
"Space" as a branch of a historical catalogue.

If it is your goal to put them into the ‘space’ section I would be against it,
if RR goes in other may well be following too and cumulate inside an already
large categorie.
Split categories work better in my opinion, better than subcategories.
I already think the ‘space’ section should be smaller with more having their

It can exist (and does), but not officially and not in the bricklink inventory.
The sticker sheet came in set 6872 and had 4 stickers on it, so any plain black
torso combined with the rest of the appropriate parts would result in a black
spaceman with stickered torso made of genuine Lego parts and people have been
doing that with all the available colors so also white red and blue. but these
are considered "custom" items, much like the dark purple spaceman because
they did not officially appear in any sets. At the time of the deletion note
they did not yet verify that and the plain yellow torso were part of set 6872
(which is why the yellow stickered version is the only one that is in the bricklink
inventory) so they stated that it was because there were no stickered torsos
at that time. But the fact that it doesn't appear in any existing set is
the reason it will remain up for deletion. If you want to add one to your inventory,
you can do so as a custom item

But Technic, City, Creator, and even Friends are doing some Space next year.
City has done a couple forays into Space and even used the Classic Space logo
in the last few years, but kept it where it looked roughly modern or near future,
so I bought into the idea. We have astronauts today, though the City stuff has
been a little advanced beyond us.
I am not sure I can link it here because LEGO hasn't officially announced,
but a retailer put out pictures of next year's City Space stuff and it is
SPACE. It is distant future, I would say out past Futuron. To me it really
looks like the first direct successor to Futuron. Why can they not call this
Space?

This is another example of why categories need to have a many-to-many relationship,
and not purely a hierarchical tree structure. While this is about sets, a similar
problem exists for parts.

| There is clearly a reluctant to relaunch the Space theme. Maybe because of Star
Wars?
But Technic, City, Creator, and even Friends are doing some Space next year.
City has done a couple forays into Space and even used the Classic Space logo
in the last few years, but kept it where it looked roughly modern or near future,
so I bought into the idea. We have astronauts today, though the City stuff has
been a little advanced beyond us.
I am not sure I can link it here because LEGO hasn't officially announced,
but a retailer put out pictures of next year's City Space stuff and it is
SPACE. It is distant future, I would say out past Futuron. To me it really
looks like the first direct successor to Futuron. Why can they not call this
Space?

I was collecting in the 90's and I remember occasionally seeing it in small
displays but it disapeared pretty shortly. Lego wasn't doing super well in
the early 2000's.
I've literally never found it in a bulk lot. I'd say its pretty rare.

I see them now and then in the netherlands. Maybe rare in US, less so in Europe?
I don't have one, but probably could if someone wanted one.

LEGO tended to stagger their set lines by ages, and kept the larger pieces to
the younger ages. PRIMO and DUPLO were for the ages up to 3, and System generally
began around 5 or 6 years old.
There have been a few sub-lines of transitional sets, which were system-like
(some people called them System Junior) which tended to have larger system parts.
4Juniors was one name, but I believe there were a couple of others. Pretty much
all of the Jack Stone line are from this product segment. HTH

In primary school, Legos was one of my favorite recess activities. Definitely
in the upper grades (4th and 5th grade) we only used System, except when occasionally
one or two Duplo bricks ended up in the box. At least I was able to work with
the scarce Duplo bricks and the larger System bricks. Even with those, I remember
that even when I managed to put something together, I had trouble pulling the
bricks back apart. At the place I went to for physical therapy after school,
they exclusively used Duplo, presumably both because of it being easier to hold
and because some of the children even older than the listed age range for Duplo
might still put things in their mouth. I remember there was a wall-mounted red
Duplo plate with a small container of bricks underneath it.
At both places we had the same kind of laminated symbols on velcro for communication
books and schedules (even though I graduated from there a year after the iPad
came out, school couldn’t get them in bulk yet). I’ve played a Duplo app before,
but I find physically constructing something more fun (even though with the Duplo
app, you can make something even if you can’t use the Primo bricks, as long as
you have switch control enabled, you let it scan through the options and once
it gets to what you want, do whatever movement or input device is programmed
to make selections).
From what I read about the 4 Juniors figures, they were made for System but were
a little taller, and like Duplo, were designed to not be able to disassemble
(unless you have actual tools, even then you risk damaging them). Do you know
if the Fabuland scale is exactly the same as System, or were they in between
the System and Duplo sizes? Wasn’t it also marketed as a first set for kids old
enough for System? It reminds me of the new Animal Crossing sets (when I was
little, Resetti made me cry but now I find him to be funny).
Also I’m curious as to why Gabby’s Dollhouse only has System-size sets (at least
for now) despite being labelled as a preschool show.
If I want to build a set instead of a MOC, is it probably easier to stick with
Duplo (I don’t think Quatro or Primo sets were made to be put together a specific
way)? Perhaps I’d be considered a toddler anyway since, even disregarding how
I get most enjoyment out of the sensory development toys/TV shows labelled as
for preschool, I’m semiambulatory (if an adult-size version of the Primo walker
existed, I would’ve used that both to get around and carry my bricks - although
I would’ve had it modified to have a lid to prevent anything from falling out)
and have went to particular movies that they say are intended specifically for
new parents who can’t get a babysitter (they say the lights are kept on, volume
is lowered, and they are tolerant of noise and encourage you to walk in/out during
the film for the purpose of soothing an infant, although in my case, I’m soothing
myself).
I wonder if it’s possible to make the Titanic build (probably with less detail)
on a larger scale with the smallest pieces being System 2x2 (red Quatros under
hull, lots of black Duplos, yellow/white/tan System)? I was excited when I saw
that set in the store (Titanic is my special interest other than Blue’s Clues),
but even if I were able to afford it (it’s hard to afford anything as a full-time
student), I wouldn’t be able to make it myself which wouldn’t be fun.

| Is there no logo on 4589 (cone 1x1 - no groove)? I can't find it on any of
the items I'm about to load to the store. It's easy to find on 4589b
(with groove).

| Some of the mid 1980's sets like 317-2 have parts only 2x2 or bigger.
I don't recall ever owning these and the sets (and instructions) may be
hard to come by at this point. There are also some small polybag type sets like
1725-1. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of bigger sets to build though.
I did happen to just visit The Art of the Brick show (sculptures by Nathan Sawaya)
and nearly everything he does appears to be 2x2 or larger. Some really incredible
stuff, so of course don't let yourself be limited to sets.

I've used 1x2 before but I have a hard time manipulating them so I'd
rather avoid those. I already have several Duplo sets which I can definitely
do independently with my dominant hand (due to hemiplegia, with my non-dominant
hand I can only use Primo and possibly Quatro if I had any of those, assuming
they similar in size, although since Primo was intended for literal newborns
it was designed to be able to hold with reflexive grasping/minimal purposeful
use of hands, Primo is likely the easiest to hold), but I want to see what System
sets are within my ability. I love the little animals that come in the Friends
sets but they're so tiny that I struggle to pick them up.
At the same time, I most enjoy the Primo pieces designed for sensory development
that make gentle noise and/or have textures, and the cartoon characters that
appear in Duplo and non-Lego brands for equivalent age range (I have figures
from my favorite show Blue's Clues, but they were only made for a different
brand. The Josh (new host) figure looks like a Duplo minifigure but a little
taller) are what I find appealing. According to the age ranges listed on the
boxes of these sets that I find easy enough to work with independently and have
the characters that I like (Primo aka Baby
Quatro 1-3 years, Duplo 18 months - 5 years, other brands list similar age range
as Duplo), would that technically make me a toddler? Although with the recent
Lego Life magazine I got at the store, I was able to do the Morse Code puzzle
without having to refer to the provided chart (I already use Morse Code to type
on my mobile).
