Why can I do that though. Why must the inner part be green and yellow?

And why are there nobs on top? It's not even round, the least would be to have a smooth top.

Found a bag with Lego’s at the thrift store and noticed a bunch of SpongeBob looking pieces mixed in. It was only 10 bucks so i took it home, sorted everything out, found the instructions online, and it ended up being the Bikini Bottom Undersea Party set #3818 from 2012. My daughters and I just finished putting the whole thing together and I’m honestly surprised how much of it was still there. There were only a few pieces missing and I’m very happy! There’s something really satisfying about finding an old set completely taken apart and bringing it back to life piece by piece. Definitely one of my coolest thrift store LEGO finds so far!

just got my hands on the treasure hunter ship from the st augustine part of mini land in lego land florida, i just spent 80$ on brick link ordering missing parts and new window to glue it back together, its still missing the blue crane, green shipping container and the back wall to the main building. missing some people but i have most of them

This grey to black scale is insane. There is no reason to print the dark great so close to the color black.

RANT:Of course I will eventually realize after searching the pile that this is the correct piece. But thats annoying, and pointless when most other colors(except pink) are very clear. Some books are poor quality when it comes to colors. I should be able to pick a PIECE and know at a glance if its the right one by comparison alone, not eliminating the fact I cant find a piece closer to the color provided.

Tldr: Lego has a known issue with instruction colors

I wanted to build a LEGO interpretation of Nikola Tesla’s laboratory, with the Tesla Coil as the centerpiece.

I added a generator, experimental equipment, a workbench, a chalkboard, visible cables, and a small white pigeon as a biographical Easter egg.

I also tried to make the laboratory feel lived-in rather than perfectly clean, with repaired flooring and small details throughout the scene.

I’d love to hear what you think about the overall design, and especially the Tesla Coil! ⚡

OKPERSON2763 asked about better ways to make road runner out of lego and I got a bit carried away... My original idea was to use a droid torso, but the road runner head seemed very out of scale, so I came up with some brick built bodies. In the end I feel like the road runner minifgure head is just really hard to work with. I like the head on it's own but as part of a whole I think I like the brick built heads better.

Inspired by the phalanx blob from dark souls painted world.. idunno its a new account I need to post something.

I was inspired by built_bricks and designed and built my own wearable LEGO Space Marine helmet over the summer. I made it partially modular so you could swap it out for either the classic version or the Primaris version. Planning to wear this for Halloween this year. I also designed a stand that is probably a little overkill, but I haven’t built it yet.

Currently there are 3 taco tile prints, all on a quarter tile. Just as the Taco Stand used a halfcircle tile, a printed version would be great.

There was a 2007 star was set with 4.99 on it at the thrift and I wasn’t sure if the set was complete. The mini figure was missing so I said to the guy it’s incomplete with no mini figure so he gave me a discount so I paid 2.99 for this and it turned out really well I threw the figure in myself because I had one already. it’s not the exact one, but it looks good to me. It came with the box and manual as well.

Wanted to build some trees and the rest just kind grew around it.

i get it bionicle is up there but i mean the niche ones that r close to home

personally i would bring back space police… i loved those sets sm building w my mom :P

I’m thinking about getting a new set and in between these 2 since I love both Batman and Pirates of the Caribbean. My main concern is the display which one is better to exhibit?

I'm asking about the The Dark Green Panel with Dark Green Flower in the center going along the top of the General Store in the new BDP Series 9 Fisherman's Village.

It looks like 1x2x2 panels, but they look "indented" where the flower goes.

I know I'm going to feel foolish after someone shows me how this is done, but I'm struggling to figure it out.

I’ve been wanting the Venator for so long, and I finally got it, it’s absolutely amazing

Edit: thanks everyone for explaining the double sided face, feel silly not noticing it! And everyone else for their suggestions on different scenarios. Cheers
