I recently purchased a box of mixed Lego and think I found a gem. According to
Brick Monkey it's the real deal but I'm looking for some help.

for any info.

Some of these might a be a good starting point as they already exist in the catalog
and can be used/tweaked with...

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 have found some without the Lego logo (unless it's microscopic)--Minecraft
bows seem to also miss the Lego logo (again, unless it's microscopic). I
got most mine 2nd hand, but there weren't knockoffs with the sets, so I'm
fairly certain they are original Lego (though can't be 100% sure).

Thanks for your reply! I'm glad I checked and didnt throw them in the donation
pile haha

I just checked a Medium Lavender one I had handy and there is no logo that I
can see. Compare yours with the mold mark on the handle of the one here in the
Large Image. Does it look the same?

Hey! Thabks for your reply. Yes it has the same mold injection dot and precise
dimensions/characteristics. It also has the lego quality; edges are perfect,
details crisp and clean. Came with a bunch of minecraft sets and mixed megabloks,
but i get nervous for obvious reasons!

Cheers!

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".

Lego 42009 is designated MKII, and 42055 is designated MKIII, but I was wondering
what MKI is, if it even ever existed?

Thats cute



I remember feeling this way as a kid, we had horses, alligators, monkeys, parrots
and....dragons? I feel I'm missing something but it made for a very sparce
zoo.


It blows my mind today to have things like, chihuahuas and french bulldogs, I
couldn't fathom that in the 80's and 90s. I remember being so thrilled
when the pigs were released.

building instructions for Hagrid's Hut.

Hi,

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

are interested in buying any or all of these, please reach out to me as I'd
love to get them to a good home where they will be used. The sets are listed
for $300 each. My store is supposed to be North Windy Ridge Robotics.

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.

In short, I don't at all agree with LEGO's staunch position on "yellow"
washing its minifigs that don't represent a certain IP. Their argument (as
quoted in the above article) that yellow is "race-neutral" is insulting,
as only light-skinned people can truly relate to that tone of color.

I'm personally interested in buying my first modular sets, but I also know
that I will have to spend money to swap out the heads, arms and some torsos to
make it representative of the world I live in, and the people I know.

I strongly believe that LEGO needs to do better, swallow its pride and discontinue
yellow minifigures. They're boring and lazy anyway.

I love LEGO and will be a lifelong fan. I just wish the brand matured with the
times quicker, and embraced cultural diversity.

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
currently investigating whether UVA or UVB works better.

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).

There is a new tiles "Portraits" anyone have idea or knowledge of how
many are going to be in this set?

A quick web search and brickfanatics told me it’s 16 different portraits to collect
and they will be found in 14 sets (up to 5 portraits in one set: 76430).

  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
nervous making any adjustments to it. lol

Hopefully someone will recognize the very specific box it comes in.

Thanks for your help.

910001-1 (Inv) Castle in the Forest
1928 Parts, 6 Minifigures, 1 Gear, 2021
Sets: BrickLink Designer Program
My daughter who just received the set as a Lego Employee Christmas gift, asked
me about it. I sheepishly told her I know nothing about the "BrickLink Designer
Program" sets. Never did paid attention to the program since launched in
2019, I'm ashamed to say

I appreciate all/any input, which I might pass onto her. Thanks

-Cory

I know a lot of people prefer to keep theirs sealed but I built mine as soon
as I received it. I'll say I'm not a fan of it lacking instructions...
It was hard understanding them at time due to the various angles and my phone
overheated a lot trying to render the 3D images.

It's a good display piece though. I'd only sell it if you're looking
to make money because as time goes on, more and more of these are bound to be
opened and built. I don't regret building mine.

Thanks. I'll pass on the sentiment
