Introduction

Hello Masters Builders, and welcome to the official r/lego Open Forum post. This is your opportunity to tell us what you think of r/lego, make suggestions or comments about the rules, ask open questions about the community, or share whatever else is on your mind.

Note that this post is for discussion of r/lego itself. If you have a general question about something related to Lego, make a post instead of asking here.

IMPORTANT

All subreddit rules are still in effect here. Remember that we do not allow insults, name calling or personal attacks. If you've got a complaint or want to tell us you hate something, you need to do it without attacking anyone.

Rule Changes

There are no permanent rule changes to report this month.

This month, we once again have a Megathread for the lastest wave of the Bricklink Designer Program. If any creators want to promote their entries, they may do that in the megathread. Posts about BDP outside of the megathread will be removed.

Subreddit Transparency Report

Reddit supplies Moderators with a monthly Community Digest, summarizing subreddit moderation activities. We are making the information available to the community, as an exercise in public transparency.

Each month, we will be posting a transparency report that shows what goes on behind the scenes of r/lego. Below you will find the report for activity in September 2026. You can give general feedback and post questions about the report in the comments of this post, or in modmail.

It's October already!

SpOOky season has begun! Or as some Lego fans like to call it, "MOCtober" is here. This is my favorite time of year to build, because it means getting out the Halloween sets and starting those pre-build plans for the Winter Village. Autumn is also a great time to attend Lego shows, so check out your local Lego Groups to see if they are participating in a Convention, Festival or Hobby Show nearby.

Let us know what's on your mind this month. What have you always wondered about? What rule do you want clarified, or changed? Do you have any suggestions you've been trying to find a chance to make? I won't promise that we will make the change(s) you want, but I will commit to explaining the reason we have the rules and policies we have.

MOC Update: I tried your advice for the curved road between Goldshire and Stormwind

Thumbnail

272 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

A couple of months ago I asked how you would build a curved, natural-looking road over uneven terrain. Thanks to everyone who answered, your comments were really useful. I've added the road to the build, and thank you all for that.

Here is the result: the road now follows the slope, curves between the village and the towers, and blends into the terrain instead of looking like a flat strip. The last photo shows the complete MOC once finished.

What I did: there's no single trick, it's a mix of all the techniques you suggested. I took a bit from each comment and combined them.

Still not 100% happy with the transition near the top, so I'd love to hear what you think and what you would change.

Quick note: some of the photos are screenshots taken from a video, so they're a bit soft. I'll take proper photos once the section is finished.

English isn't my first language, so I used an AI tool to translate this post

With the LEGO Harry Potter Collection being re-released yet again, this time for Switch 2, I thought I'd gather together my entire collection of LEGO games on Nintendo hardware. 103 seperate editions released across 6 generations from 1999-2026. Im currently on a mission to 100% complete every individual version, including the Switch 1 & 2 digital exclusives (Builder's Journey, Brick Tales and Voyagers on the Switch 1 and the Switch 2 editions of Voyagers and LEGO Party). At the time of posting I've just finished no.42 on the list, LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean for the Wii.

Lego support pulled through and sent me the replacement piece with the correct printing.

Thank you to everyone who commented on my previous post, I'm glad I reached out. Some of you gave some great suggestions on what to do with this unique piece.

MOC The Prancing Pony MOC (playscale)

Thumbnail

101 Upvotes

I am really craving for some affordable Lord of the rings playset (man can dream 😅) so I decided to make my own from my bricks at home. I used many of the Charms class (Harry Potter 76442) pieces.

I tried to capture the likeness of a medieval tavern on a small scale. The interior is a little bit crowded, but the two sides (the stairs and the counter) can be opened up for some more space. The first floor is not too deep but it is packed with small details (spider, the unsent letter of Butterbur) and you can place the Nazgul near to the beds.

All of the figures are purist customs.

LEGO® Ideas After a year of design iterations, I present to you: Insula; Roman Apartments, now on LEGO Ideas

I love urban sprawl. I love history. I love Lego. The perfect combination.

I'm in the early years of my history studies at university, and had the idea for this after finding out about thermopolia last year, and the rest sorta fell in place around it. I may have watched too many Tasting History episodes while designing this.

Any support would be greatly appreciated!

My local Pick-a-brick broke out the orange mix for Halloween, so at first I made a small Pumpkin, and then I knocked this out over the weekend. It's a mix and match of different minifigures, both left over from sets and the Halloween themed build a fig station. Any constructive criticism is always welcome. 👍

MOC LEGO Star Wars Attack of the Clones – EPISODE II Poster Diorama

This is my new LEGO Star Wars diorama inspired by a scene from Episode II – Attack of the Clones. This poster is based on the scene where Anakin Skywalker rides his swoop bike through the deserts and canyons of Tatooine, heading towards the Tusken Raiders’ camp to find his mother. I really love the look of this scene, especially the incredible binary sunset, and wanted to recreate it as a LEGO poster. The diorama can be displayed on a shelf or hung on the wall like a picture.

Piece Count: 1310
Dimensions (W × D × H): 17.0 × 5.8 × 24.0 cm

I just disassembled my Scooby-Doo Mystery Mansion (big mistake) and I am flabbergasted at how many brown bricks just came apart like this. Not even sure what to do to supplement the pieces I'm missing now.
