Problems Ordering From Lego.com in US

Topic:

Does anyone else have problems placing orders using Lego's website?

I almost always have to call to place an order after trying 4 or 5 times online.
This happens about 80% of the time- its just weird. It's not the credit card,
the cookies, the order or the browser. The last two times I've called, the
order went through as I was on the phone. This never happened before and it's
very frustrating...let me know if you have similar issues or a fix!

Thanks,

Boat Motors

Viewed:

91 times

Topic:

The old boat sets always mentioned that there were model motors not made by LEGO
that could be added to the sets and the hulls were equipped with attachment points
for them. Does anyone know what they were referring to or has anyone ever seen
one of these motors? The double hull speedboat set is the only one I know of
that came with a motor (made by LEGO) and the newer city themed boats no longer
have the attachment points and don't mention them.

This has been mystery to me since I was a kid, and now with a pretty extensive
boat collection myself and the power of the internet I still can't find them
referenced anywhere.

Life after the 'Dark Age'

Viewed:

161 times

Topic:

Hi everyone!

As someone who has just rediscovered the magic of Lego, I wanted to start this
topic because I'm curious about your experiences. As a girl growing up in
the 90's I didn't have that much 'cool' Lego myself. My mom was
happy to have a daughter, so the few sets I had were actually from the very girlish
Belville and Scala.

I am now 30 years old and I look (with admiration and maybe some envy) at the
amazing things adults build on programs like LegoMasters. It inspired me to get
my boyfriend's childhood Lego out of the basement... and that was the start
of a new era! The Dark Age is over, now I am busy working on my plans to build
my own city.

No more creepy Scala-dolls with 'real' hair, but good old minifigs. Or
maybe amazing NEW minifigs, because all the new sets look absolutely amazing
compared to the somewhat boring and discoloured 90's lego I am sorting now.
I bought a few small boxes and polybags, mainly because I was so curious about
the 'real life' look from current Lego.

And now I'm at a bit of a crossroads. I want to build my own city, probably
an island city. I have some old base- and roadplates and even though they are
somewhat discoloured I don't mind using them. But they are big, so I have
doubts if they are really practical. The new roads look great, but they seem
expensive and the budget is limited. I also have to buy some new buildings after
all and many cool sets (especially the Lego creative expert sets) are quite expensive.
So many choices to make!

I am curious about the experiences of my fellow Bricklink-users.
How did you get started after your love for Lego returned?

And if you have any tips for me to get started, feel free to share!
Surely there is something you wish you had known before starting your collection.

PS: My native language is actually Dutch, so if I'm using unusual English...
don't attack me for it please.

What Is Lego To You?

Viewed:

156 times

Topic:

To Me Lego is a beautiful collection of plastic bricks. These bricks can be made
into hundreds, millions and even billions of things.

Lego can come as a set with instructions. A group of pieces to build anything.
Maybe even a character from Muppets or Looney Tunes.

I have been building Lego for years and it has helped me with everything. When
I'm down or annoyed I like to sit down at my Lego table and build away.
Some of my MOC projects can least a few weeks (Lego Minecraft Ghast MOC). And
others can only take a few days, (Lego Christmas Tree Ornaments).

I just love to sit down at the end of a long day and build something with Lego.
I love going onto YouTube and seeing some cool new Lego Set Leaks. I am hyped
everyday because I know that there will always be something cool on the Bricklink
Forums or something on The Brothers Brick.

I can't explain how much Lego has helped me over the years. And as I know
hundreds of people around me also share my love of Lego.

As the years have gone by Lego has changed so much. They have gone from basic
sets like Lego Police Patrol Car (Set #600) to beautiful masterpieces like the
Lego Vintage Typewriter (Set #21327).

I have grown up with Lego around me for the past 10 years. Even as a young kid
I played with Duplo.

I thank Lego for its HUGE role in my life and the amount of happiness it has
brought me.

What do you think Lego is? What does the plastic brick mean to you?

Rant incoming...

Pick a brick has become a joke since the change. Only 1227 items of 12582 in
stock, that is less than 10% of the items in stock. It had only been getting
worse since it was changed over.

It has been my experience that if you order both bestsellers and standard parts,
you will only get VIP applied properly (when they ship) on bestsellers and I've
had to call to get my points on standard parts when they arrive at my home, they
do not get applied when shipped like bestsellers.

...end of rant. Thanks for listening.

They are usually Futuron or Blacktron I figures.
Everything is glued; except the legs still bend and you can remove the hands.
And they all have this non standard white piece on the back of the torso.
I have looked on Bricklink, Brickset & done a general Google search. Other than
a couple of images of people trying to sell them, without saying precisely what
they are, I cannot find anything.
I am now guessing they are something unofficial.
So does anyone know what they are?

Creating space

Well folks, it seems as though I have reached the point that all avid Lego collectors
never hope to reach. I have ran out of space for more Lego. I still plan on collecting,
but it appears that I will have to get creative with the limited space I have.
Most of my sets are assembled and on display, so perhaps I could disassemble
some of them and put them in storage? I believe it is doable, but it will also
be time consuming. If you have found yourself in a similar position before, what
did you do to create more space? Interested to see what all of you have to say.

Hi there,

After watchting this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3nPLGZnWTI (sorry

And also this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRLegYMRsb0

What bothers me:
*) Although there is a Lego logo, the white one (white neck, white hips) doesn't
seem to be correct
*) It looks a little bit too golden
*) The head has "Hollow Stud" instead of "Blocked Open Stud" (which should be
genuine, according to the first video) - but on the other hand, bricklink says
"Hollow Stud" as well.
*) The Lightsaber part is "chromed" all the way up, not just up to half of the
end.

Any ideas?
