Hi Admins!
I work at Laser Pegs. I see your site is very resourceful and you talk about several different “construction blocks” brands. Have you had any experience with Laser Pegs? We’ve come a long way in 8 years and would love for you to check our products out.
From officially licensed National Geographic kits, to Major League Baseball model kits to the zippy do kits, we’ve got a huge variety of themes and models. The best part? With all of our kits we give you instructions on building MULTIPLE models. Yes, each kit comes with one set of instructions to build the “main” model, then you go to the site and download (pdf) the manuals for any other model you want to build from that kit or design your own!
http://www.laserpegs.com/product-category/kits/
Have a look, give us a shot. We’ll light up your life!
🙂
Laser Pegs Web Team
Tim, you are welcome to send me some samples and I can write a review. Please note that LEGO fans are pretty picky, so unless your product is top notch and compatible with LEGO, we may not be too enthusiastic. Anyway, if you feel like your products would meet LEGO fans expectations, I don’t mind reviewing them.
Anna/Admins,
Thank you for getting back with us so quickly!
We would love to send you a couple sets to check out.
Of course they are compatible with Lego and the other sets. We feel we compliment their kits and they, ours.
We have several “lines”, from the clear bricks/plates and laser pegs kits:
https://laserpegs.com/
These also include the 3d Liteboard Kits:
https://laserpegs.com/
Then we have the Officially Licensed National Geographic kits:
https://laserpegs.com/
The Mobile Power Source kits have tinted bricks and plates and are great for building on the go:
https://laserpegs.com/
The Power Block kits have a large powerbase as part of the actual models, also include tinted bricks and plates:
https://laserpegs.com/
The Runners kits are fun for kids to build, race, crash and rebuild!
https://laserpegs.com/
The Zippy Do 3 in 1 is a child favorite:
https://laserpegs.com/shop/
We expanded on the Zippy Do power base and made more kits utilizing it:
https://laserpegs.com/
Please, have a look at the entire lineup, https://laserpegs.com/shop/
Let me know which ones you want and your address and we’ll get them out to you asap!
🙂
Thank you, again, for your time and consideration.
Tim
Laser Pegs
I apologize. I didn’t mean “a couple sets”, we’ll happily send you a set with each powerbase.
These are the powerbases:

Tim
Tim, I sent you a PM with where you can send review copies. Just send whatever you feel would work best for LEGO fans and what your company is most proud of. 😉
Ok, that’s awesome!
Here’s what I’ve put the request in to send to you:
https://laserpegs.com/shop/ This is our Spider, World of Bug themed kit. Build over 16 light up models in 1 kit.
https://laserpegs.com/shop/ MPS Series Cars kit. Build over 4 light up models in 1 kit.
https://laserpegs.com/shop/ Car Runners Series kit. Build over 8 motorized, light up construction models in 1 kit.
https://laserpegs.com/shop/ Zippy Do Planes series kit. Build over 6 light up models in 1 kit.
https://laserpegs.com/shop/
This is a great power base for the Laser Pegs. You can create ever evolving Art and hang it on the wall! You can also build and display this as it is and keep all your Laser Pegs and other bricks in the green tub!
All of our kits are Lego and all other similar “bricks”, “blocks” and “plates” friendly!
Please, let me know immediately if you have any questions, comments or issues.
I will have tracking number for you tomorrow.
Thank you again!
Laser Pegs Team
Tim, you can also email me your press kit with details, high-res images, and whatever else you have. 🙂
Anna,
I trust you received the Laser Pegs when you arrived home, Friday. We hope you and yours enjoyed them. I’m working on getting the press kit over to you asap. We’re transitioning to the 2015 marketing materials, but you can see our full catalog at our site and and the new peg heads fun catalog with pricing.
Yep, I got them. I was out of town for the weekend, but I should have a chance to play with them this week. 🙂
If you let me know what you want/need specifically, I will send it over to you.
As for hires images, tell me what you want and I’ll send you a drop box link.
Dear Admins,
I spend two month designing and building Amsterdam style Canal House, and now I added it to Lego Ideas with detail description of all the historic and architectural features: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/83275
So pls take a look and, If you like it, post some news in your blog.
Many Thanks,
Best wishes,
Dan
Dan, nicely done, thanks for sharing. I can certainly feature this. Is there a picture next to the other modulars that looks straigh on the buildings?
Hey Guys,
Do you still have this figure for sale?

Sorry, posted on the wrong website. My bad.
Jason, I’m a blogger, I don’t sell minifigs. The article clearly mentioned where to get them. 😉
HI!! Have a question for you. I am looking for a snoopy/Woodstock kit for a Christmas gift. I understand Lego does not have a licescense with them. I did find the nanoblock snoopy kit but it appears the only way to order that is overseas, and I need by Christmas. Any information would be appreciated!!!Thank you Debby
Debby, Toys’R’Us carries a good selection of Nanoblock kits. An if you know the Nanoblock set number you can also try searching eBay, where you can sometimes find items that are not available from retailers. Please note that Nanoblock is not really kid-friendly and is more meant for adults and modelers. Good luck in your search!
Requesting help to build the Disney castle. Never really worked with LEGOs before but my daughter is really interested in it, so I have questions:
1. any guess how many and what types of tiles to use?
2. has anyone ever built it before and have any design plans?
3. What is the best way to start?
Any help would be appreciated!!!
That sounds like an awesome project! I’m not sure what you mean by tiles. Do you mean baseplates to build on? That depends on how big you want to build the castle and what is your budget. People have done some really nice custom Disney Castles, however I don’t know anyone who would have gone through the trouble of producing instructions – it is a lot of work. However you can browse Google Images to find inspiration from Disney Castles others have built.
The easiest and cheapest way to start working on your castle is to purchase one of the LEGO Disney Castle sets, and start expanding on it. Perhaps you even want to get two, so you have extra elements to work with. You can find all the LEGO Disney sets here: LEGO Disney sets at the Online LEGO Shop
Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions. 🙂
Hey guys, I made a LEGO DUPLO train set video you might enjoy. Made with my kids help over the Christmas break, inspired us to start a Youtube channel too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJRw2tPJzSM
Cute! Thanks for sharing! 😛
hello,
I saw this unique concept 1+1=1 on a liquid iron transporting wagon alias “torpedo wagon”. Its worth to share with lego fans, train fans and people open for new concepts in your blog.
2x same set, build the huge one 🙂 cool for brothers/sisters.
check this out:
https://ideas.lego.com/projects/4c8fd020-b2ff-4b58-937e-3cb6fd44fd54
I’m supporting this, and hoping more will do. Looks promising.
thanks for reading,
B
How long does it take to receive to light up base?
Shirley, what do you mean?
Hello! I just came across your amazing website today and just wanted to express my gratitude. Clearly this site is lovingly maintained and contributed to by those passionate about Lego. I am a 44 year old rediscovering my childhood love for Lego and your site is almost like a museum, there is so much to see and read! In an Internet that is over-flowing with “things”, I very much appreciate such a fun, friendly site dedicated to one of the most amazing toys/creative tools/exploration sets/insert-your-adjective-here. 🙂 Fantastic job!
Vinnie, thanks for the kind words. Hope you will continue to have fun looking around. You are also welcome to participate in the discussions, subscribe to updates, ask questions, share your own insights, etc. We are a friendly and open community made up of nice people who are discovering or re-discovering the LEGO hobby, like yourself. Play well! 🙂
LEGO Dr. Who!!!!!!
http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2015/02/lego-040215170008.html
BBC Worldwide and LEGO® have announced a deal to produce a range of Doctor Who Lego, based around a proposal made by fan Andrew Clark last year:
The 12th Doctor – Lego Concept (® 2015 The LEGO Group)Doctor Who and LEGO® fans around the world received exciting news today as The LEGO Group announced that it would be producing a LEGO Doctor Who set.
The concept for a Doctor Who set came from the LEGO® IDEAS website where fans can submit ideas for a set and vote for their favourite idea to be produced.
Doctor Who began in 1963 on BBC Television and is the world’s longest running sci-fi drama. Starring Peter Capaldi as the Doctor and Jenna Coleman as his companion, the hit BBC One show has become a global phenomenon with a loyal and passionate fan base.
The Doctor Who concept from fan Andrew Clark received the 10,000 votes requisite for The LEGO Group to consider it for production.
A licensing agreement between BBC Worldwide and The LEGO Group will see the new set available in all of The LEGO Group’s key markets before the end of the year.
Andrew’s winning design featured a range of Doctors, companions and monsters across the show’s history, but fans will have to wait until later this year to discover what will be produced.
Marcus Arthur, MD of BBC Worldwide UK said:
Both Doctor Who and LEGO enjoy a particularly close relationship with their fans and I can’t wait to see what LEGO produce.
Emma Owen, UK spokesperson for LEGO Ideas commented:
We’re extremely excited to announce that a Doctor Who and a WALL-E set will be released as our next LEGO Ideas fan based sets, congratulations to the designers Andrew Clark and Angus MacLane!
After receiving over 10,000 votes from the online community and having gone through rigorous toy testing from our expert panel, these awesome sets are on track to be on shelves later this year. The final set designs, pricing and availability are being worked out as we speak, so watch this space for the final details!
Yea, we will talk about these on Monday. I already put together an article based on the announcement, however Monday was the first open slot I could squeeze it in. We can discuss and analyze the sets at that time, so please stay tuned. Would love to hear your opinion! 🙂
Hello, I created an exclusive course how to make money with legos can you please take this course and if you like it feature it for your subscribers I will give you free access to check it out and huge discount to your subscribers thank you so much. Free coupon will be given in a personal email as I am not sure if I press submit where this will end up thanks.
Sergey, sure you can email me and I will check it out. 🙂
Hi, I’m looking for some help with a box of lego advertising proofs and designs from a company called Mako in North Wales. I have pictures here https://db.tt/LdWUxKc2
I’m finding it hard to find the right place to find someone interested as it’s not actually pieces of lego.
Any help or advice appreciated.
Jon, hm… I think collectors would be very interested in these. I would suggest mentioning them on the BrickLink.com forum and the BrickSet.com forum. Both are full of older LEGO fans and collectors who love stuff like these. If you need more help just let me know, but that’s what I would do first. 🙂
Hi!
My name is Ania; I work for LEGOLAND Discovery Center Westchester.
We have a monthly event for Adult Fans of LEGO, in which we call AFOL Nights 🙂
Each month (the 1st Thursday of each month) we have a different theme and we have really cool LEGO games and prizes- while guests get to enjoy the center!
Is this something your readers might be interested in? We are located in Westchester NY- in Yonkers.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing back!
Ania, nice to meet ya! We are aware of AFOL nights at Discovery Centers. Our readership is mostly in the USA, however next time we publish any article on Discovery Centers we can mention AFOL nights in general, so readers can check with their local Discovery Center. 🙂
I just wanted to tell everyone about BrickMagic in Concord (near Charlotte), North Carolina, USA. It is organized by Joe Meno, the editor of Brick Journal magazine. I will be there, displaying and can’t wait! May 7-8 is the adult convention and to setup, and May 9-10 is open to the public. Register as an AFOL to display your MOCs, win prizes, and participate in games.
Please spread the word and share this post. It will be a big event, with people from all over the US.

If I post a question, where do I look for reply(ies)?
Mike Dowal
Mike, you can look for replies on the articles where you ask the questions. If you have a lot of questions/a whole discussion going on about a topic, you can subscribe to the discussion (the big green button below comments), and you will get an email every time someone responds. This is a convenient way to keep tab of a longer discussion, and you can easily unsubscribe when you are no longer interested. Or you can just manually come back to the discussion and see who replied and what. 🙂
Hey Admin. You know how I been telling you about my NINJAGO dreams, well I had another one. It was Lloyd possessed fighting Wu. And Ronin was their helping Lloyd (Morro), I was watching them and somewhat doing ninja flips. ( I wanted to help, but I got distracted with all the flips I could do) Then the ninja came and they were getting beating up. Then…I woke up. 😆
You should change your name to Ninjago Dreamer as you have the most awesome Ninjago dreams! 😀
I do always daydream about NINJAGO.
Check this out
http://youtu.be/jk50376o5Yk

Interesting! The symbol doesn’t look the same to me though, but the image is kind of blurry, so he may or may not be right. 😉
Hey Admin CHECK THIS OUT! It’s from that guys that always has all these theories.
http://youtu.be/Yuh3ktyjSgI
You should share it. 🙂
It’s interesting, but the quality of the video is so low, I rather not share it here. However you guys are welcome to discuss it in the Ninjago section. Thanks for sharing! 😉
I dont know where everyone else is?
At various posts under the Ninjago section. I’m planning to publish a new post soon so you guys can congregate there again instead of being spread out. 🙂
Great and I found a new one

Hey admin my comment say moderation. I just wanted to make sure if you got to see it? 🙂
Yeah, if you post more than one video per comment it will automatically go under moderation. This is a safety feature. But I have approved your post. 😉
I found episode 2 of the next season. However instated of being in Ialian, it’s in German. The 3 is also there. I think ot was funny when Nya fainted. I guess it’s cuz wu told her she possesses water.
http://youtu.be/J7wULtmzhOE

Hi,
We are interested in lego toys and want to purchase a lot.
Would you offer us the best price about lego technic?
John.
John, you can purchase LEGO Technic sets at the online LEGO shop. Here is the direct link: Shop LEGO Technic
If you are looking for second-hand sets or pieces, eBay, BrickLink and Craigslist are also good sources. Local retailers may also have sales, although my personal experience is that LEGO Technic rarely goes on sale. They are very popular sets.
I am a HUGE Lego fan like you!
I just made a Jurassic World YouTube Lego Animation that will blow your mind hopefully! Please check it out. I am really pushing hard to promote this one before the movie comes out in a few days. Check it out and if you like it, would be amazing if you could promote it on your social media like facebook or twitter. No doubt you have a huge following of fans on there! THANKS!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keX5mTATJL0
Looks cute! I will see what I can do about sharing it. 😀
Hey Admin! I have two things for you
1. I have this for you. It may help you for your blog.
https://youtu.be/FJ-rwdvKghY
Oh, sweet! Thanks for that! 😀
2. and I need a favor can you sign this petition it’s a project and I need 100 signatures by Friday. I have been trying to get others, but I still do not even have half.
https://www.change.org/p/united-states-congress-abolish-capital-punishment-in-the-united-states
Thank you
Have you considered reaching out to people through Facebook, G+ or Twitter? You should have no problem getting 100 signatures.
The “script font titles” for all of your articles is very hard to read and makes me leave your site after a coupon of pages. Always trying to “find” the next title
Paul, not sure what you mean. Nobody else mentioned any issues with finding or reading titles. If you explain a bit more what is the issue you are running into I might be able to help.
Hi I would like to inform Lego fans that there is a BCA Lego competition in Singapore http://projectbuild.sg/. Will the admin pls help me to post this? tks!
Thanks for sharing that. Is this open only to LEGO fans in Singapore?
There may be another season other then the ghost season to NINJAGO!
http://youtu.be/ljh2MHQs1Ps
Yeah!!
Interesting!!!
And wait there’s more.
http://youtu.be/ieVRDL5wEEc
I’m worried because of the color she wearing. I like Lloyd, a lot, it better not be what I’m thinking.
I have some doubts about Ryan’s theory. Claire’s torso is just a generic female torso from the LEGO City line, as you can see in the #60082 LEGO City Dune Buggy Trailer. If she is indeed the 8th ninja, my guess is that LEGO would not used the same torso in a generic LEGO City sets. It doesn’t mean they can’t, and that would certainly be a really interesting crossover, but it just doesn’t seem likely. We shall see. 😉
Hey Admin did you notice this?
http://youtu.be/QQbaka1eXv0
The Sword of Fire is wrong.
Wow! That’s really interesting! 😀
Do you think it could have been possible that Morro could have been the Green Ninja, but since he was banished a new one was chosen. He was obedient towards Wu and still remember all the lessons he was taught.
The weapons didn’t respond to him, so I don’t think so.
Hey admin, as usual I had another dream about Ninjago. I actually had one two days ago. The first one was how morro got out of the curse Relam again claiming to be the green ninja but this time he didn’t mean it because the preinement was controlling all the ghosts’ minds. Morro knocked Ronin unconscious in a basement of a bussiness tower over water. Wu and Misako were mad that he was late then found him an hour later.
The second one was when the ninja all explore the cursed realm. They found were Morro’s cell was and that it looked like a meditation room.
LEGO should hire you to develop their story line. 😉
Hi,
I’m a big fan of LEGO and your blog and am also an app developer. So in my free time I made a mobile game based on 2048 but using LEGO pieces. Would be great if you could share it with other LEGO enthusiasts!

Wow! That’s amazing! Can’t wait! 😀
HI there, my name is Giuseppe and I am a “former” LEGO fan . I am using the word FORMER , because I used to play with LEGO when most if not all of you guys were not even born, back in the late Sixties to the late Seventies ! I have an extensive collection of vintage Legoland vehicles and buildings from that era, all in mint condition and still with their original boxes and instructions booklets. My question to you : where can I find a reliable source for appraising them ? I know by surfing eBay and Amazon that some of them are by now already on the triple-digit value !! Such collection is still sitting in Italy, where I was born and raised, but I am planning to bring it here in FL pretty soon. THank you for your time and help :). Best regards from Giuseppe
Giuseppe, I have forwarded your question to Gary Istok. He is extremely knowledgeable about old LEGO sets. I have sent you an email to get you guys in contact. Sounds like you have some real treasures there! 🙂
Hi admin you’re in for a laugh. Want to see Chen make a fool of himself?
http://youtu.be/NeE_sRZ_PVc
😆
LOL!
They keep coming back. I’m referring to the NINJAGO dreams. This time the ninja were in a dark canyon exploring while Dareth was in Nya’s ride keeping watch. Cole was telling him to not open the door until they arrived back there. Then Dareth heard the door bell saying “Wow that was fast. ” Cole was worried screaming no, but it was too late. Dareth was knocked unconscious by a female with a zombie pirate (not sure if it was a zombie he just looked really messy). After sometime Dareth woke up and she was asking him for some information, but Dareth refused. Then she threaten him that she’ll hurt a kid that was aboard with them. Darth gave in as soon as the zombie pirate started to pick the kid like if it were adsorbing his soul.
Geesh, that’s dark!

Hi, I recently discovered a website that has all the ninjago episodes as well as other animated shows without viruses. The website is: http://kisscartoon.me
That’s sweet. Thanks for sharing. I did indeed find the episodes listed. One thing to keep in mind for our young readers though, make sure you have some kind of adblocking app turned on. When I went to the Ninjago videos the page was full of inappropriate adult adds. 🙁
I saw that too! Very suggestive, lol.
Hey Admin,
Lego Ambassador Network says you are a LUG with “0 Members”. I figure this is how TLG give you stuff and/or stuff at a discount. I’m in Orlando and I know you’re a few hours north of me. But any chance this is a LUG you’re starting that one could be a member of remotely?
PS – LAN states that Allen has 11938 Members!
The LAN lists both real world LUGs and online LUGs. TBB is an online LUG. If the LUG is a physical LUG, they will have a real count of their membership. If the online LUG is a forum (like Brickset or EuroBricks) that requires registration they can give you an accurate number of their members as well. Other websites list their numbers completely random; some list their daily visitors, some their monthly visitors, some their newsletter subscribers, some their contributors/authors, and some just leave it at zero. I just left it at the default zero, but I may update it to something that better reflects our community. Our daily visitors are right around 10-12,000 so I may list that. There are no rules for online LUGs as far as what to list, so take those numbers with a grain of salt. So far I have had no intention of starting a local LUG. With work, school and blogging I just have no time left in my schedule. 😐
Yeah, I figured that was the deal with the member count, just wasn’t sure you knew yours was at zero. And I think I got the LUG situation down too, except for the “online” type. Like you my schedule is too full for a local LUG right now. Wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing out on some other option that’s more formal with benefits (e.g. access to lots of Lego at a discount).
Thanks anyways
Local LUGs can participate in the LUGBULK program to be able to order loose elements in bulk. LEGO is making this program available so LUGs can build displays for their public shows (LUGs are required to have public events). Other than that there is not a whole lot of benefit as far as getting LEGO cheaper. There used to be, but LEGO canceled them because of resellers.
Bummer.
So when is the US going to get this?
http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2015/10/lego-sets-061015081008.html
the UK announced LEGo Doctor Who Dec. 1st!!!
*faint*
We have been talking about the set extensively yesterday. You may want to join that conversation: http://thebrickblogger.com/2015/10/lego-ideas-doctor-who-set-revealed/
When are you coming to charlotte NC or Columbia SC?
Dominique, are you asking me? Or LEGO?
Hi! I just want to know how can I export a garageband file to lego movie maker.
I tried exporting garageband to imovie and it was easy but I need to do the same in Lego Movie Maker
Garagband my song screen: press longer the recorded file and click the share button, click open in. click imovie and then tadaaannn! it opens in imovie
Cess, I’m really sorry, but I’m not familiar with garageband. You might call LEGO’s customer service and someone should be able to help you.
Hi i am looking for the LEGO brick part distributor do you have any contract name or have any suggestion to find some wholesale brick part
Aut, where are you located?
can i have your email?
i am from thailand
or can you email to me? iczfox@gmail.com
it might be comfortable for me to talk with you thanyou
I’m in the USA, so not familiar with what is available in Thailand, but in general LEGO doesn’t sell wholesale to individuals. At LEGO stores there is a Pick-A-Brick wall where you can buy elements by the cup, and if you ask them nicely, they may even sell you the same elements by the box. 🙂
it fine for me if the distributor is in USA. because i can offer them to ship in USA address do you have other distributor or only Pick-A-Brick?
Aut, you can search BrickLink.com for the store you want to shop from. BrickLink is the largest online LEGO marketplace and you can find sellers all over the world.
Do you have any Lego wholesale brick part website or e-mail distributor
Hello I have a lot of legos sets 100% complete and undamaged with the boxs that I would to sell. Do you know any good site where I can sell?
Isabel, you can list them eBay, or BrickLink (which is like eBay, but only for LEGO). If you want to sell them locally, you can also list them on Craiglist.
Hi Admins!
I work at Netbricks.biz. We are a LEGO rental service similar to Pley, but we cater more towards the hardcore LEGO enthusiasts by offering thousands of sets (including the Death Star, Millennium Falcon, Tower Bridge, etc.). Members can pick and choose any sets they want, or anyone (including non-members) can rent any set ‘Ala Carte.’
Was wondering if you have had any experience with our service? We are trying to spread the word, as our LEGO enthusiast members have been loving our service!
https://netbricks.biz
Take look and give us a whirl – you’ll be glad you did! Thanks for your time.
Best,
John
Hi there. I have a 6 year old son who loves Legos. However, it can be a very expensive hobby. I was noticing that there are other brands out that at a much cheaper rate (Lepin, Kazi, Enlighten). I was wondering if you knew if they are truly compatible with Lego brand. Since my son is only 6 he inevitably mixes sets together. Any information that you can provide would be great. Thanks in advance.
Cori, yes, those sets are LEGO compatible, but keep in mind that they are also very poor quality. You would be better off just sticking with LEGO, and buying second hand, if necessary, to keep the cost low. Mega Bloks and Kre-O are decent LEGO compatible brands that you may try and they are a little cheaper. They can also be re-sold when your son grows out of them, although they don’t keep their value as good as LEGO. The brands you mentioned have no resale value as they are so low quality. Hope this helps some. 🙂
Hello, I’m launching a Kickstarter on Tuesday for a product I’m developing to keep the bricks organized. I know how this usually works is I send you one and you review it. However because the product is a big plastic thing the only way I can make one is via a REALLY expensive 3D printing process. Do you think you can post about it on your site on Tuesday? Here’s the Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1999312341/boxtop-builder-no-more-missing-lego-pieces?token=f25ad086
Thanks!
Michael, thanks for sharing your project. Our publishing schedule is already filled for next week, but I could try to fit it in later.
Great thanks! I’ll bother you again on Friday or Monday 🙂
Hello do you think you could post my Kickstarter this week? I imagine a lot of your readers are having the same problem I’m trying to solve. Thanks a lot!!
I have a post suggestion for your helpful site: it seems the Lego Club Junior magazine is ending and recipients are being moved to the “Red Brick or Yellow Brick” version. I couldn’t easily tell what this means – I wasn’t clear there were these versions – and maybe a quick call/email to Lego with a short write-up would be of interest to your readers.
Danny, that’s a very good suggestion. I noticed the changes too. Put it on the articles to write list. 🙂
Dear Admins,
I would like to ask you to have a look at two models I built for Lego Ideas. They represent the wonders of the ancient world and the newly elected ones. I would be very grateful if you could post them. Reaching 10.000 people is not easy and any help would be much appreciated. Should you require more info, please do not hesitate to ask. To show you what I built I added the links:

Thank you for your time

Those are some very impressive builds! Thanks for sharing. I voted for them myself, and I can include them next time we do a roundup post on LEGO Ideas projects. Wishing you the best with both models! 🙂
I am looking for the appropriate person who manages digital marketing. I also wrote to several of your team members in that pursuit.
We work with organizations like yours to significantly increase website’s ROI, without the need to increase advertising budget.
Could you direct me to the right person to discuss this opportunity?
Thanks,

Alex, we are not looking for any new team members at this point.
Hello, I want to ask you something. Please I want to buy lego moc boeing b52 plane bomber but I don´t know when can I buy it. you have my email adress and please give me some advice. thank you
Dominik
Dominik, if you have seen a custom built LEGO plane that you like, you will need to contact the creator and see if they would be open to share instructions. Not all of them will. Making instructions for a custom model can be very time-consuming. But for some builders it is part of their design process, so they may have instructions available.
As far as buying a custom built model, again, you will have to contact the creator to see if they would be interested to build a second one for you. Keep in mind that custom models cost usually at least twice as much as regular LEGO sets due to the cost of having to source parts from third-party sellers.
I wondering If there is a place I can buy on dvd all the seasons of lego ninjago
Yes, all the seasons are available on DVDs. You can find them on Amazon here: http://amzn.to/2fAC1YU
I thought you might like this video and possibly the viewers of this website. I am a long time reader of this site and control a YouTube channel with over 7,000 subscribers. I recently made a video on the Top 5 Most Heartbreaking LEGO Disasters. I feel that the final product came out very good and if you want to check it out you can find it here: https://youtu.be/abRSEZQM6EE
Feel free to make a post about it if you enjoy it! I would appreciate that!
Thanks!
Nicely done video! TI didn’t know about the helicopter getting destroyed. That was an amazing creation, and the one I felt the worst about. Also feel bad for the kid who lost his LEGO collection on the highway. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Hello my lego fanatics. Sad to say but I need to get arid of my collection and I wanted to know the safest and best way to go about it. I have tons I’m talking star wars (there all put together but on plastic bags near perfect condition, ton of instruction booklets , train set, tons of things. The Famous 3450 B&W Statue of Liberty almost brand new just opened to double check for that $500 instruction booklet. Man Id be writing to much as I’m sure already have done. Anyway sorry if it looks like I’m trying to solicit but not !y intentions at all. Just want advice on a direction to go and the stuff I wrote was intended for people to take me serious. Thanks.
Sad to see you sell your LEGO collection, but stuff can happen. Your options are as follows; you can sell the whole collection at once to a local LEGO fan, fan club or reseller. You can sell the sets individually either locally (Craigslist), or online (eBay, BrickLink), or you can just sell the parts and minifigs individually (BrickLink).
Sounds like you have the sets in complete and good condition, so I would say it would make most sense to sell the sets. Again, your options are either locally via Craiglist, or Online through eBay or BrickLink. It is going to take quite a bit of work, so make sure you are prepared. If you are going to sell online, have shipping boxes and packaging materials ready, so you don’t have to scramble in the last minute.
You can also upload your collection in batches, so you are not inundated by a bunch of orders at once. At BrickLink you can close your store temporarily if you start to feel overwhelmed, or when you don’t have the time to deal with orders – a very nice feature. You can also use the BrickLink Price Guide to price your sets realistically. I would advise against selling internationally. It is very time consuming and risky.
In general, selling the collection as a whole is going to bring in the least amount of money, but it is the fastest to do. A local reseller might be interested to take all your LEGO for a discounted price, or if you have a local LEGO User Group, you can reach out to them and see if any of their members are interested. Selling complete sets can bring in a good return, especially on the more desirable sets. Usually selling parts and minifigs individually brings in the most money, but it can take years to get rid of everything.
Hope this helps some. Let us know if you have any questions. Good luck with selling your collection! 🙂
I am looking to buy a new ( lego mind storms ) kit. I heve been told to get an E V 3 current model ?
Any help in this will be great as I know NOT what I am looking for.
Thank you in advance.
Johnny, yes, that is the current model. The set as well as all add-on components are available at the Online LEGO Shop. Even if you end up buying it somewhere else, this is a good resource to make sure that you are getting the latest version: LEGO Mindstorms EV3 at the Online LEGO Shop
Also, if you are new to LEGO robotics and programming, and if you don’t have to buy the set right now, I would suggest that you wait until August, when a new, simpler, friendlier and cheaper robotics kit is going to be released called LEGO BOOST. You can learn more about it here: https://www.lego.com/en-us/boost
Hi, I’ve been working on improving this LEGO Ideas project for just over a year now, and uploaded it yesterday. What do you think? If you like it I’d really appreciate it if you featured it on your site, as it’s going to need some promotion to reach 10,000 supporters!

Thank you,

Cute dragon! You might consider some alternate builds from the pieces to make the project a bit more versatile. 🙂
Hi,
Any idea if there’s a new version coming of the Mindstorms EV 3 set? Should I buy now or should I wait?
Fernando, yes, Mindstorms is going to be updated, but there is no word on when. If you don’t mind waiting some, I would hold off for now, as it is an expensive system to invest in. I’m thinking the updated system should be out within the next couple of years, but that’s just my hunch.
If you do want to get into Mindstorms sooner rather than later, the Double VIP Points period is the best time to buy, and then keep an eye on any news on the updated release. When you get wind of it, you can sell the older system on eBay or BrickLink. It will take a while until the general public picks up on the news, so you should be able to recoup most of your investment. Just keep the box and all the instructions in good shape. 🙂
My friends and I are in a debate and think you can shed light on the answer. What does the black writing on the LEGO Tile 1 x 1 with Black Writing (Sticky Note / Post-It) with Groove (25389) say? What does it mean?
Ian 🙂
Mars?

Tracie, I will be in touch with you about this via Facebook. 🙂
You all might be interested in my ideas project which is a Clockwork Aquarium. It is quite nifty and I have hight hopes if going the 10K distance. I know with your support, it would enjoy an amazing boost.
Just in case you are interested, here is the link.
Thanks for your site either way, I’m a frequent reader.

Great project! Already supported! 😀
I have got hold of a lot of bricks that look like lego but are not. The standard bricks are not quite as tall as standard lego bricks and the base is a series of parallel lines. They are all desert khaki coloured so probably make military vehicles. Could someone identify the manufacturer so I can look for build instructions. Thanks
Alan, any pictures? Without that it would be hard to tell, as there are a number of companies that make construction toys with military vehicles.
I have pictures but don’t know how to load them….
Alan, you can upload them to a picture sharing site (Flickr, Instagram, Imgur, Facebook, etc.), and just link to them from here. You can also email them to me. My email is the little envelope in the upper left corner. 🙂
E-mail send with pictures, thanks for the offer of help
I am trying to find building instructions for a custom build shown in Lego Great Ideas book (2015). It is called “Zycon Shuttle”, pg’s 48-49 . My grand son and I have been attempting to build it from the pictures in the book, but without much success. Any chance that the complete instructions could be purchased?
Thank you for your time.
Pete Newsom
Pete, step-by-step instructions are not available for the models in the book, but the pictures are detailed enough to reproduce them. Which section do you have trouble with? I might be able to help. 🙂
Hi,
I wanted to share with you my LEGO Ideas project of Nickelodeon’s hit cartoon The Loud House. It includes a 2,500 piece detailed home with bedrooms for all the Loud Family and their car Vanzilla. More photos on the above Flickr. Would be greatly appreciated if you could support on ideas at bit.ly/ideasloudhouse
Cherry, wow! That’s a nice and really well done project! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

thank you;

Hi! My son’s LEGO shelf just came tumbling down three of his Start Wars sets are in pieces. He is devastated. Is there a device that Seoul’s take the pieces and try to reassemble without having to take the whole thing apart?
Thanks!
D
Deanna, if only a few sections broke off, like for example the wings, or the top of something, you might be able to reattach it without disassembling the whole set. But in general, the best thing is to take it apart and just enjoy building it again. There may be some structural integrity issues inside due to the fall that you can’t see from the outside, which means that even if you can reattach parts, the set is compromised. As I said, I would just take this opportunity to enjoy building the set again. After all, that’s what LEGO is all about. 🙂
I have bought a box of lego bits that has some partially made models.
Could anyone identify if they are actual kits or just someones made up pieces.
Thanks,
Alan
I have e-mailed photo’s
Alan, got your email and I just wrote you back. 🙂
Hi everyone and admin,
I have spent 8 months building a Lego Bentley ‘Blower’, a British racing car that set many lap records and raced in the 1930 Le Mans and French Grand Prix. It has been on Lego ideas for a month now and has 750 supporters.
The model has two new green colours, removable bonnet and working steering using the exact mechanism in the real car. I would be very grateful if you could support and share it. Please take a look at the attached link… https://ideas.lego.com/projects/8af0fc1a-d44e-4cfd-a5eb-0391d8a86553
Ben, nicely done! Thanks for sharing! Wishing you best with your project. 🙂
Hi, very nice website, cheers!
Hello! I am a new music artist for kids and I made a song about LEGOs. The song challenges you to see what you can create in 1:23. I would be so excited if you could listen to the song and give it a review or use it in any way on The Brick Blogger. Thank you for your time!

Emiliano, that’s not a LEGO product but a fan created model from years ago. It’s not for sale.
Hi, I’m trying to get the word out about my LEGO Ideas project Casey Jr., from Dumbo. I wondered if you might be able to help!https://ideas.lego.com/projects/8b153541-1956-42b7-bfec-a8f31755bc7e
I was hoping you could help me. Trying to gather support for my LEGO IDEAs project, Casey Jr. from Dumbo. Thanks!
Hello,
My name is Aaron and I am the owner of AcryliKing. We are a veteran-owned company and we design and manufacture display stands for LEGO models. I’d love for you to check out our website and consider reviewing our first product!
If you have a Millennium Falcon 75105 or 75212, we’d love to send you our stand for free so you can get hands-on with it.
Please let me know if this is something you’d be interested in.
Cheers!
Aaron
Aaron. Those are very nice stands. Is this the only product you carry? I don’t own either of those Falcon models, so I won’t be able to use them, but if you have other products, some of them may work better for a review.
Hello, i recently signed up to assist with my child’s Lego club at school. From what i understand so far, there is very little curriculum or structure to this program. Is there a way to get in touch with someone in my area who might be able to come in and help the kids build certain structures? Maybe a certified engineer in my area? Happy to send you my zip code to help put me in touch with someone in my area
Thank you,
Chris
Chris, you’re welcome to share your zipcode either here, or by sending me a PM. I can look into it if there is someone in your area who can help with the LEGO club curriculum.

Do you ever have information regarding the Australia site? It seems that it is always lacking in comparison to the UK and US sites. Thanks, L
I heard through the LEGO Ambassador Forum that Australia currently has severe shortage due to shipping effected by COVID. If you need more info let me know, and I can look into it.
Hey, here is custom made lego compatible military toys brickarmytoys because original lego not making any war related sets 🙁

many thanks
Todd, are you talking about Ninjago seasons?

Hi. Can you please email me when your Botanical Lego is in stock. Thanks. Lyn
Lyn, you can sign up for email notifications on the product page of each item at the Online LEGO Shop so you will automatically get an email when it’s back in stock. 🙂
hi, will they continue to release ninjago legacy sets next year? or are they stopping this year after doing the legacy theme 10th anniversary sets.
Derek, good question! There has been no reports yet about next year’s sets, but my guess is that they will continue with the Ninjago Legacy sets as long as it makes sense, but not with the 10 year anniversary sets.
hi thanks for the reply. i was thinking of collecting just the legacy sets but if they stop doing them, i won’t bother.
you would think they would continue to re-release sets from all the seasons so far.
Derek, I see what you mean. Yeah, as new kids get introduced to the show, LEGO wants to keep some of the sets related to the earlier episodes in production. So there is a good chance those will continue as long as the theme continues.
I’ve recently noticed a lot of people have a hard time finding the right table to set up their Lego builds on so I thought I’d share my thoughts here. Some problems you might be facing are bricks falling off of the table, the lego boards are too small, or you’re struggling to find a safe space to store your build while you need to leave it and come back to finish it later. Luckily, http://www.nilotoys.com has large play tables that have a recessed tabletop surface (so bricks won’t fall off!), features a play space that fits Nilo DOUBLE-SIDED Lego Duplo compatible baseplates snug across the whole surface, and even has an optional dining topper add-on to cover your builds! Who likes coming back to a destroyed build (pets will be pets). Anyways, it may be worth taking a look there because the tables are great and the double-sided base plates are awesome. The Master Table is even adjustable so you can lower or raise the vault to your desired depth setting and then cover it with the dining topper for later! All the best, a happy brick builder
