      Of course it won’t work besauce they are flat on the bottom. I think they are actually Legos they put on the short bus so kids don’t die when they eat them.

    Kids in my church Sunday School are making a Lego village from Biblical (Jesus’) time. What minifigures are out there to buy? I want to support the kids by getting some extra stuff for them (also…sheep, goats, fish…..). I am a foreigner wandering in awe in the Lego world.

  • nace10 May 29, 2012, 3:09 PM

    Hmm… I’ve wanted to do that before!

  • nace10 May 29, 2012, 3:11 PM

    Admin, looks like all you have to do is buy village raid from LEGO kingdoms

  • Pink Ninja June 30, 2012, 1:44 PM

    can i have my profile Admin

    • admin June 30, 2012, 10:35 PM

      Hm… so sorry, but I’m not sure what you mean. Profile? ๐Ÿ˜•

  • Curtis October 16, 2012, 3:18 PM

    Hi there! My friends and I have been big fans of you guys for a long time now, and we often check out the blog. It is one of the best Lego blogs around in our opinion ๐Ÿ™‚

    Anyways, we recently have started a YouTube channel called UnReelMotion, and we make short frame by frame films using Lego. We are hard at work at completing our first film, and when it is finished, we were wondering if it could be posted on here on its release date? This would help us tremendously since there is so much traffic that passes through your website.

    It would mean a lot to us, and thank you for your time!

    • admin October 17, 2012, 8:49 AM

      Curtis, sure we can do that! I would suggest that you also write a post that would go with the video. Maybe a short tutorial about making brickfilms, or somehting about you guys and how you got into brickfilming, or something about the challenges you run into. This way the post would be a lot more valuable fo rour readers. Just let me know what you think. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • Fikko3107 March 28, 2013, 2:11 AM

    admin, I’ve been wondering, which kinds of LEGO videos are “safe” to be posted on youtube and which are not?

    • admin March 28, 2013, 11:27 AM

      Hm… I would say that older videos are fine. Anything older than 3 years ago should be safe. LEGO’s own videos should be fine, however if the video was in collaboration with someone else (like Cartoon Network) it may be riskier. I would say that old advertisements, short cartoons directly from LEGO’s website, tutorials, that kind of stuff should be fine. However with shows like Ninjago, Chima, Star Wars I would be careful with as there is more than LEGO who has claims for it.

      • Fikko3107 April 12, 2013, 12:10 PM

        Ah. Advertisements are totally clear, 3 years old are safe, and CN is kinda a big no-no. So that means no going around posting Bionicle: The Legend Reborn or Hero Factory episodes 1-4, which I find a bit weird considering the more recent ones, namely 5-10 is much more widely available…

        • admin April 12, 2013, 12:47 PM

          Yeah, I would stay away from anything that airs on Cartoon Network – unless if it is simple advertisement. It seems they are really big on cracking down YouTube channels. ๐Ÿ˜

          • ntk743 April 17, 2013, 3:09 PM

            I’m really sick of the dumb things people do with LEGOs on youtube ๐Ÿ˜

            • Fikko3107 May 24, 2013, 9:22 AM

              I only have one problem: How do you make a youtube channel with a name of your choice?

              • admin May 24, 2013, 10:05 AM

                Hm… as far as I remember you just pick your name when you register. I have done it a while ago but I don’t remember it being particularly complicated.

                • Fikko3107 May 29, 2013, 9:28 AM

                  Yes! I finally managed to set up my own channel, at http://www.youtube.com/user/LEGOVideoDepot . As with my tradition of being purist, It will mostly contain official videos. It’s very new and bare at the moment; I can’t find/make a good channel art yet. Please pay a visit there and subscribe! First things first, I’ll be choking it full of Designer videos from the last four years or so, which I’m pretty sure won’t get me into trouble…Right?

  • Meneldur son of Garamar June 3, 2013, 9:26 PM

    I’m working on a few ideas for articles but what do you think of these ideas: Tips on How to Build MOCs, The Greatest LOTR MOCs, and the latest Chima sets?

  • Kirsty August 18, 2013, 10:16 AM

    Hi Guys, love your blog and would love to submit a guest post or two. I write a bit of Lego stuff on my own blog and collect minifigs too. Would love to submit something if you allow guest posts?

    Let me know – geeksdoingstuff@gmail.com

    Kirsty

    • admin August 18, 2013, 11:01 AM

      Kristy, yeah, guest-posts are fine as long as they are about LEGO. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • Tony M October 16, 2013, 12:11 AM

    Hey BrickBlogger! I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now and was wondering if you could possibly feature my custom printed figures. It would help out a lot!

    Thanks for looking!

    • admin October 16, 2013, 1:26 PM

      Tony, sure, I can do that. You could either write a post yourself introducing our readers to your products, or you can send me some samples and I will review them for you. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • Fredy April 29, 2014, 12:43 PM

    With the launch of LEGO Ideas and deadlines being added, AFOLs need to band together on order to be able to get more out of the site other than licensed projects. That is why I’d like to ask you to write an article on the project below. With no licensing, it being a reasonable size, no conflicts with LEGO’s values, or any other dillemas, I see no reason these projects will not be able to pass review and become an official product unless the LEGO community doesn’t support it. The biggest problem with the project is it has not received enough support from the community and it makes it difficult for LEGO to create a business case. Please consider doing an article on the project to help it.

    • admin May 2, 2014, 8:22 PM

      Nice project you got there. And you already have a good number of votes. I think if you work more on the back-story and presentation it would have more appeal. Right now the idea is a bit too generic. It is nice, but it doesn’t have that punch-line that would make me say I definitely want this. Think about that, get some feedback from others as well, and put everything you can behind it to take it all the way to the finish-line. ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Calimochoman May 12, 2014, 9:06 PM

    Hi,

    I have a 6 yrs old kid and he is starting to love Lego bricks. My question for all you experts is… What is better to do: buy sets or buy the small and large select your own pieces tubs at Lego Stores?

    Thanks

    • admin May 12, 2014, 9:26 PM

      I would suggest starting with a few small sets for his age-range (listed on the box). LEGO is really good at researching what kids of different age-ranges like and comfortable with building. If your son is just starting out, it is best to take advantage of LEGO’s knowledge in this regard.

      Recently LEGO released a new line of sets called LEGO Juniors. They offer an excellent range of elements and easy building instructions for young children. I would suggest picking up one of those sets first, unless he is really attracted to a specific theme (like for example LEGO Ninjago or LEGO Chima) – in that case get him a set from that theme that provides a good number of pieces and lots of play features. A $20-$30 set should be sufficient.

      Once you see that your son is really getting into building and gets serious about the hobby, then buying specific parts by the cup makes sense. However some kids never get into building with LEGO that much, so there is no need to get that deep into buying parts that he may never use. At least that would be my suggestion. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi,

    I am looking to commision a life sized scooby doo for my little brother. Do you know anyone who can do this for me?

    Thanks

    • admin August 2, 2016, 11:15 AM

      Sebastian, I sent you a PM.

  • James June 29, 2017, 7:39 AM

    Lego has taken a resurgence in popularity in recent years, and my children can’t get enough of building

  • Moritz O. September 3, 2017, 10:29 AM

    I have got some rare Lego sets from Shell (40190,40194,40195,40191,40193,40192,40196). These where part of a limited offer made by Shell in germany. You never could buy these in a store. Also this offer is over now by over a year. Original price was 7,99โ‚ฌ or 12,99โ‚ฌ (only for 40196 which i got 4 times). I have got 103 sets in total and would like to sell them all together.

    I would love to hear from you, greetings from munich!
    Moritz Ostendorf

    • admin September 3, 2017, 4:11 PM

      Moritz, you might consider looking for a local buyer, or selling the sets yourself on BrickLink, the Online LEGO Marketplace. ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Lucio September 20, 2017, 10:13 PM

    Ninjago Lego build & review video. Itโ€™s a standard lego build video, but it ends with an Epic Battle with the Ninjago characters. Itโ€™s very timely with the new Ninjago lego movie coming out in a few days.

    Thanks,

    • admin September 21, 2017, 3:40 PM

      LOL! That’s cute! Thanks for sharing! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Paul Wellington September 23, 2017, 4:14 PM

    I wrote an article discussing 11 different LEGO architecture scales. Is it possible for it to be shared on Brick Blogger? If you’re interested I have several more articles that could be featured.

    https://archbrick.com/2016/09/18/lego-architecture-scales/

    Thanks,

    -Paul

    • admin September 23, 2017, 8:38 PM

      Paul, that’s a good article, thanks for sharing. I’m not sure how you would like us to share it, as you already have a full article on your blog, and reposting an entire article is a bad idea as search engines don’t like it. We could perhaps mention it on our social media channels. Or, you could write a guest-post about a similar or compatible topic, and link back to the article. Just let me know what you have in mind. Wishing you the best with your blog! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • CJ Wilson January 5, 2019, 1:23 AM

    Hello,

    This is Wilson from Vonado, founded by a team of passionate LEGOยฎ enthusiasts. And we are pro on lightings for lego creation. Is there any chance we can cooperate,and we put our products link or ads over here,let me know for that.

    Thanks very much.

    • admin January 6, 2019, 11:01 AM

      Wilson, I will be in touch with you via FB.

  • Josh July 5, 2019, 12:15 PM

    Hey!
    This is Josh from ARMOblox, a company and product I created that is completely compatible with LEGOยฎ, and makes their bricks even more awesome! as ARMOblox allows you to build in all directions! I would love to team up with you all somehow if you are interested. I am trying to get the word out about ARMOblox. I believe that once people use them, they find that they are pretty awesome and allow some pretty neat new ways to play with your existing bricks. I can send you some free product if you are interested. Thanks!
    (Also, this Monday July 8 we will be running an Amazon Lightning Deal between 5:25 AM – 11:25 AM PDT if anyone is interested in picking some up to try out as these will be our cheapest price ever.)

    • admin July 5, 2019, 1:21 PM

      Hey, Josh, thanks for sharing. From looking at your website, it seems that the target audience for your products is parents with young children. Our community consists mostly teen and adult LEGO fans, so I don’t think there would be that much interest. My suggestion would be to check with parenting forums, as well as forums for homeschoolers and educators. Those big-headed figures are adorable. ๐Ÿ˜€

      • Josh July 5, 2019, 1:48 PM

        Thanks for saying our “big-headed figures” are adorable! We call them bigifigures, because they are a little “bigger-boned” than the minifigures, but are also completely compatible with LEGOยฎ all five sides of their heads can be exchanged for another piece. Also, being compatible with LEGOยฎ, we believe that we are targeting the same audience as them. The design of our blocks came from the idea of trying to create a block that allows you to build like you do in Minecraft, but in real life, while also staying compatible with the ever popular LEGOยฎ. So, hopefully our audience are fans of both of these. But, no problem, if you change your mind let me know. Thanks for replying back!

        • admin July 5, 2019, 1:51 PM

          Hm… I like the idea of Minecraft compatibility. Do you offer your products in Minecraft compatible earth-toned colors?

  • Josh July 5, 2019, 1:54 PM

    In the works!

    • admin July 5, 2019, 1:58 PM

      Feel free to let me know when they are available. I think that’s an angle teen and adult LEGO fans would be interested in. That adapter plate in darker/more neutral colors could become very popular. ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Jesse August 27, 2021, 10:58 PM

    Hi. I am planning on buying soon to retire lego sets not as an income but as a retirement savings for myself. Your website was on the 1st page of google when I inquire about lego investing. Looking forward doing business with you in the future once I have my collection.

    • Thita (admin) August 28, 2021, 11:29 AM

      Jesse, if you have any questions, feel free to ask! ๐Ÿ™‚
