BrickLink Discussion Forum

Hi,

I think that there are many who, like me, want to build 40703 and/or 40704 with
their existing items.

Therefore I've created created customised instructions for 40703 and 40704
and posted them online here: https://bricksto.build

The instructions roughly follow the same sequence as the original instructions.

40703 - Micro Ninjago City
40704 - Micro Ninjago Docks

I also plan to create 40705 and 40706 as soon as they are released.

Happy building!

Hi there,

I am wanting to create a striped pole that would be used in a Christmas build
as a "North Pole". I wanted to create the stripes angled rather than
straight and then possibly put a light brick in the top surrounded by transparent/translucent
blue bricks. However, I am struggling to create the stripes in a cube.

Can anyone recommend the best way to do this, or suggest which brick number(s)
I could use?

Many thanks!

The old macaroni bricks could be used staggered, so that might work, but it would
be rather large, much bigger than minifigure scale.

On a smaller scale, you could use one of these in white:

43888 Support 1 x 1 x 6 Solid Pillar
Parts: Support

and wrap a long thin red sticker around it to create the candy cane effect. Or
use a red one and wrap a white sticker around it.

Hi,
Many thanks for the reply.

Scale-wise I am thinking it being fairly big/tall. I will be adding some elves
around it so will probably appear fairly large. I'm also going to be adding
a ball/crystal on top

Many thanks for your help!

Depending on the scale, you could try something like this: https://youtu.be/DWq9RxuE-ig?si=tBwDU2cNeGThpaTH&t=73

You could do it with 1x1 round plates in white and red but it would depend on
the scale required.

You need to open a store to sell here.

And you need some feedback first, which means you need to buy something first(er).

I think there’s no digital instructions available for the first program, ADP

What about this Electromagnetic Railgun Cannon Launcher? It isn't made by
Lego but if you need something with a little more kick...

Though I don't think any stores here on BrickLink have them in stock right
now.

Don't understand the drawing; it says you can't shoot on someone already
having a shiner?
That's very specific...

We're mostly a castle system household when it comes to what the kids and
I build. The whole reason I even started parting out sets was to pillage parts
for us and sell the rest to offset everything. Concurrently, a game from my
childhood popped up on kickstarter and I ponied up for the super mega deluxe
version of Crossbows and Catapults. As we're patiently waiting for it's
delivery we've been adapting our LEGO play to incorporate break away walls
to knock down, but it's proving difficult because nothing has enough "oomph"
to knock things down.

This is way to weak with very short range.

x110c01 Projectile Launcher, Cannon Shooting
Parts: Projectile Launcher {Pearl Dark Gray}

These have some velocity but still don't have a lot of kinetic energy.

15303 Projectile Arrow, Bar 8L with Round End (Spring Shooter Dart)
Parts: Projectile Launcher {Trans-Orange}

I never knew about this until this weekend, but I saw some knockoffs with a rubber
tip. Is it powerful enough to knock over a few bricks from 4-5 feet away?

57029c01 Projectile Launcher, Cannon, Flat Bottom
Parts: Projectile Launcher {Black}

Hi,

I kept that system from Exo-Force set

8108-1 (Inv) Mobile Devastator
926 Parts, 13 Minifigures, 2007
Sets: Exo-Force

that is quite powerful. You cans use it with Bionicle Zamor Spheres

54271 Bionicle Zamor Sphere Launcher
Parts: BIONICLE

I totally forgot about that one! It's probably better at being able to be
aimed appropriately.

But this part

60932cx1 Projectile Launcher, Bionicle Weapon Midak (Zamor) Skyblaster with Black Housing
Parts: Projectile Launcher {Flat Silver}

is also great to launch them

I second that. Zamor spheres are large, heavy, and pack quite a punch from the
launchers being squeezed together.

Yep! You can really launch them if you get the pressure just right.

I'm looking at how it's put together in book 1 page 21 for set 76103.
Looks like you press it down and the resistance against the floor builds up
pressure? This might do the trick.
