1. Re: Brick Live 2019 - Birmingham

   

   Comment by kingstonjames · November 2019 · Home› Community and Events

   I was at Bricklive on Thursday and, sadly, from an AFOL perspective, it gets worse and smaller each year. I thought the 2018 goody bag full of Fortnight pap was the lowpoint but then there was the 2019 show! (I could have understood, if not forgiven, the goodybab being Minecraft based - at least that would be Legoish but…

3. Re: What Minifig-based sets are the best designed TOYS?

   

   Comment by Aanchir · July 2016 · Home› Collecting

   When I read the topic title I thought it was going to be asking an even more specific question (i.e. which sets are best in terms of play value without considering building value). That would be an interesting question to explore at some point as well, since I know there are some kids who take interest in certain LEGO…

4. Re: What is YOUR favorite set/series EVER?

   

   Comment by chuxtoybox · November 2015 · Home› Collecting

   My favorite theme is Castle, though you wouldn't know it by my collection. I don't know if I really have a favorite set but if I had to chose I would probably pick #70728 Battle for Ninjago City. It may get knocked out by #70751 Temple of Airjitzu which I'm in the process of building now. #4559 Cargo Railway has a special…

5. What childhood favorite sets are underwhelming in hindsight?

   

   Discussion by Aanchir · July 2014 · Home› Collecting

   I was just reflecting on some of my childhood favorite themes in response to a blog comment on another site, and I realized just how horrible some of them were in hindsight. Some of my favorite themes as a kid were Launch Command, Aquazone, Wild West, and Exploriens (I still have a pillowcase in my bedroom with #6195 on…

6. Re: Cool Baseplates - why does Lego no longer make / include them in sets?

   

   Comment by Aanchir · March 2014 · Home› Everything else LEGO

   Personally, I don't miss the big molded baseplates. I'd much rather have smaller, brick-built bases like in Hillside House (elevated example) or Mountain Hut (flat example). These sets' bases are made of smaller parts that can be rearranged, and they are "in system", so that they can be used just as easily as any ordinary…

   Comment by vitreolum · December 2013 · Home› Collecting

   #6279 was definitely my favorite, followed by #6195 and #6755. Most wanted I never got were #6769 and #6289.

8. Re: What are you building right now?

   

   Comment by 560Heliport · May 2020 · Home› Building and Techniques

   I just put a bunch of white parts in hydrogen peroxide under the blacklight, so the rest of my Classic Space will have to wait a bit. I might build #6769 Fort Legoredo tonight.

9. The cake you saw but couldn't eat - missed deals

   

   Discussion by AnthonyC173 · October 2012 · Home› Collecting

   Hi, relatively new here and I've read through some of the forum. I have seen threads about bragging and good deals. While it's great to see people getting awesome deals, it sometimes make people, like me, bang their head on the wall wondering "why wasn't I there??!!". Here's a thread where you post times when you missed an…
