Would anyone know the part number of the large wheels used, I've scoured Bricklink but can't identify them

Johnyk668 · December 2016

Thanks, will be a nice little build.

sid3windr · December 2016

^^ They're rims from the speed champions series. They come in different colours, this seems to be the flat silver or whatever the name is variant :) They also come in different styles, so beware what you're buying.

They are Speed Champions wheel trims! Available in the three Porsche sets they've done. 918, 911 finish line and 919/917 pitstop. All the sets come with two different sets of 4 per car.

Very clever part use. I was chatting to the guys from BrightBricks at the show and thought I recognised the piece, but had to double check.

Johnyk668 · December 2016

Thanks for all the responses, just placed a Bricklink order to make a two carriage train.
I completely disregarded the exact part as it was listed as wheel, cover.
The things you learn when you are new to advanced building.

Istokg · December 2016

As Englands largest surviving medieval cathedral, York Minster would make for quite a build. Back in the 1960s British LEGO Ltd. made glued display copies of its' facade and western towers for British retailers to display in their shop windows.

Even though this scale is much to large for translating into a full sized cathedral... it's an interesting part of LEGO history.

Look like they could be these.

Edit: nevermind, hadn't seen that this thread had spilled onto a second page!

sklamb · December 2016

Quick heads-up; the Bright Bricks models of St. Edmondsbury Cathedral are now available to order online--both the large and the small version, at the moment.

stlux · December 2016

Thanks for sharing @sklamb!

GoodCoffeeJoey · December 2016

Saw this listed in the classifieds.

stlux · December 2016

And the number of Bricksetters ordering that model of St. Edmondsbury Cathedral has made them put up the following notice:
PLEASE NOTE Due to the very high demand for these models we will be closing orders from noon GMT on 15 December to allow us time to pack and despatch existing orders.

Ordering window will open again in January. Glad I ordered mine early this morning :)

prevere · December 2016

As always, a big thank you to anyone who can post instructions

stlux · December 2016

My (small) model of St Edmundsbury Cathedral has now arrived. Word of caution for anybody planning to order when it will be possible to do so again in January: my box was shipped in a large bubble-wrap envelope. Not exactly a good way to ensure it will arrive in pristine condition...

So might be safer to pick it up a the cathedral shop yourself/find somebody who can do so for you.

blogzilly · December 2016

Crap! More things I have to buy!

Well it's official...I'm addicted. Oh well.

Switchfoot55 · December 2016

I just saw this while looking around Craigslist

At an asking price of $900, I sure hope it at least includes the scarf and Santa hamster...

Gruff666 · December 2016

That's an actual lego set. #10177 I picked one up a couple of months back for £115. So it's very over priced

Switchfoot55 · December 2016

^ Not sure how I missed the set number in the photo. Go figure!

Boeing is a local company here, so I'm sure they seller thinks they can profit more off that.

blogzilly · January 2017

I need to hunt my local CL more.

Gruff666 · January 2017

St edmundsbury cathedral now taking orders again

Fireheart · January 2017

^ Seems the small version has had the Lego UK price rise added.. £45 now delivered in the UK. They must be selling well!

ricecake · February 2017

Someone on Reddit just posted this one, I didn't see it on the list:

Dirk Denoyelle, LEGO Certified Professional and creator of that Paris Hilton set, has created a set to celebrate 200 years of the Antwerp fire service.

Not quite as special as some other LCP sets, but still a rather nice fire truck.

(No better pictures of the box available for the moment.)

EUR 50, but the order page is unfortunately only open to Belgian and Dutch residents.

sid3windr · June 2017

.oO ( Paris Hilton set.... )

stlux · June 2017

@sid3windr The Paris Hilton Hotel ;)

Already posted elsewhere on the forum, but reposting here for completeness:

TLG teamed up with LCP's in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan for a Cities of Wonders campaign:

Malaysian Heritage mini-builds by Singapore’s LCP Nicholas Foo (more pictures on Brickfinder):

Singapore Food Culture mini-builds, also by Nicholas Foo (more pictures on Brickfinder here):

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5015319/uploads/editor/ke/9u8m8w10pzjl.jpg

Hong Kong Landmarks mini-builds, by Hong Kong’s LCP Andy Hung (more pictures on Brickfinder here):

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5015319/uploads/editor/5l/tptee4drb17m.jpg

I couldn't find any pictures from the Taiwan sets yet, but I'm sure Brickfinder will post those once available. They are also gradually posting the instructions for these sets.

These sets are GWP in Lego Certified Stores/TRU/designated store in those countries over the month of June.

FowlerBricks · June 2017

@Johnyk668: Those are hubcaps from the Speed Champions line.

Would anyone be interested in ordering one for me? I have some sets to trade. :D

stlux · June 2017

@Kerre You might be able to work out a deal with @Russell844 for that 2nd set of yours? ;)

Kerre · June 2017

Shipping (and likely duty/tax) would make that one very expensive fire engine...

Fireheart · August 2017

The 3rd and final set of the St Edmundsbury Cathedral Bright Bricks Theme is being released soon:

Quite a good likeness. I've resisted getting the Cathedral sets, but this one is very tempting.

Kerre · October 2017

In my inbox today: Amazings - who did a set resembling a Mercedes-Benz Atego fire engine commemorating 200 year Antwerp Fire Service commemorative set - put up another set for pre-order.

This time, it's an oldtimer set with an early-1900 steam car pump:

Image: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/6f2a5a_0321c731487d46d79d1b85e34b0f2d2b~mv2_d_5339_3024_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_687,h_431,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01/6f2a5a_0321c731487d46d79d1b85e34b0f2d2b~mv2_d_5339_3024_s_4_2.webp

Price is 50 € (+ shipping) again. Available for preorder until 28 October.

httppluginmyshopcomimagesshop5703400picturesfoto-doosjpg

I really liked the printed pieces in the previous set as I could "localize" our City fire sets with them but I'm not too sure about this set. Does have a cake and a red bucket though!

SeanTheCollector · October 2017

^ Doesn't look like you can order from the UK :(

Kerre · October 2017

Likely filtering on IP again as was the case with the original set :/

Guessing they only want to deal with local (Belgium/Netherlands) shipping. Would you be interested?

stlux · November 2017

New set from Dirk Denoyelle's Amazings team:

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5015319/uploads/editor/vq/4wu6v94zgyts.jpg

To celebrate the addition of a plateosaurus skeleton to the Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels. An online reservation for this EUR 50 set with 282 bricks is required, and only available for pickup at the museum on Sunday 17 December. Seems like the Amazings team will do a dinosaur themed event at the museum that day.

More information here.

stlux · December 2017

If you are

a racing fan

SithLord196 · December 2017

Not necessarily a big fan of Renault, but I am a big fan of those sets.

Fizyx · December 2017

Those are some fantastic sets! I don't generally go in for the cars, but I would be on those in a second if they were normal sets.

MorkMan · December 2017

This should be helpful for those that don’t know: Tom Alphin is doing an article on “amazing unofficial architecture sets” and included this information:

This list was inspired by a much longer list containing all known LEGO Certified Professional sets which you can see at http://minifigpriceguide.com.

This could be helpful in getting a fully complete list.

@henrysunset Thanks!

stlux · December 2017

In case anybody had already made plans to go to Paris to pick up one of those Renault sets: the date has changed from Saturday 09 Dec to Saturday 16 Dec.
The Champs Élysées will be rather occupied by ceremonies for Johnny Hallyday, hence the change.

M1J0E · December 2017

There have to have been countless sets that have been packaged for various purposes through the years, which would indeed make a comprehensive list near impossible. Here’s one you’d never know about if you weren’t from our city (and I’ve never bought one):
https://librarystore.ca/collections/brick-models

stlux · December 2017

Nice, but not a LCP set. Seems the creator makes commissions in Lego as a part-time job, but is not a recognised LCP.

tomalphin · December 2017

@henrysunset Thanks!

You're welcome! I also want to thank @M1J0E for raising the Calgary library model to my attention.

I'll add it to my guide soon! (My guide has a section for kits by non-LCP designers, too.)

Mr_Hobbles · December 2017

Here's another one for the list. :)

A couple of weeks ago I was at the AWS re:Invent 2017 conference in Las Vegas. It's a big annual gathering of geeks, nerds, and associated salespeople all interested in Amazon Web Services. I think this year there were about 45,000 attendees.

Adam Reed Tucker had designed a model of the AWS robot (Yes, that's a sticker on the front, included in the set) which Amazon was giving away. There weren't many - I was told there was only 200 of them. They went fast.

In addition, Adam himself was there building a life size version of the robot on the expo floor. I've also included some pictures, though I didn't get a chance to see the finished one.

This picture actually brings up something that I wish got talked about more: How builders support large models by incorporating metal support structures. Like, how much do they engineer them, how do they know they will need on vs if they won't, how do they build them, how do they tie them in to the models, how do they keep too much strain from being placed on the LEGO pieces that are contacting the supports, etc.

I don't think I would probably ever be able to utilize any of that knowledge, but it would be a really neat thing to go into depth about. Honestly, I guess that's true of the entire large model designing/building experience. I mean, I've seen quite a few interviews where people talk to large model designer/builders, but they are usually very superficial and don't get down to the really interesting bits that, as a LEGO nerd, are what I REALLY want to know!

Welcome! If you click the link, there’s a large & a small version of it, both look fairly different & must use different construction techniques.

I reached out to Ben Stephenson yesterday, and learned that he only designed the larger of the two kits. It makes sense that the two kits are quite different, since they were designed by different LEGO artists.

I've updated my guide to reflect this info:

M1J0E · December 2017

Great write up Tom! Neat to see how many different buildings all over the world have been immortalized in LEGO, far beyond just the official Architecture range, which really still is my favorite. After all, it was finding a Seattle Space Needle model in the gift shop, which really got me looking into what modern LEGO is all about, and it’s those Architecture models on display that really catch the eyes of people who can’t believe this is that “children’s toy”. :D

Here's an "interesting" build from my LEGO friend Micke in Sweden... a LEGO Certified Professional (Bright Bricks) set where a laser printer is built as a building (14+ age)... for "Brother Printers" in Sweden...
