Hello all
I am building a waterfall moc that is going to have a portal in it. My question
is does anybody have an idea on how to build a moveable curtain that will basically
move the water out of the way to reveal the portal? Im a little stumped. Any
ideas are welcome and greatly appreciated.

Build On!!

Hello, I used to buy a lot of lego from the lego shop (before I discovered this
place though I still buy some from the Lego shop) and so I have lots of VIP points
to spend. Since they changed it to having to prebuy discount amounts I haven't
used any though. With the Forest Hideout set coming up as a freebie I was thinking
of using a bunch of points to cheapen a Blacksmith Shop set. Does the amount
spent towards getting the free set get calculated based off the amount of money
you spend before using VIP rewards or afterwards? I don't want to get
a bunch of rewards ready and then discover they make it so I can't get the
free set. I know some websites which have things like free shipping over certain
amounts punish things like coupons or points by making it the amount of money
spent versus value of purchase. Thanks.

Hello everyone,
I was simply wondering if anyone can send me a Lego Bugatti Chiron or any other
Technic 1:8 car (Porsche 911 GT3, Lamborghini Sian, Ferrari Daytona SP3) made
in Studio+ or also in LDD.
Thanks

Any tips for packing modulars for a house move?

I've collected about 8+ modulars over the course of the past year and have
held off on assembling them knowing that I will be moving 2500 miles out of state
and back in that time frame. However, I've assembled three MOCs and would
hate to have to disassemble them and find time to put them back together after
the final move.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Every two weeks or so, for the past month+ now, I have been getting updates that
my order for the Old Fishing Boat will be shipped out in about two weeks. It
just keeps getting pushed back.

What was an early June ship out date is now for the first week of July.

I'm actually moving sometime during the second week of August. And that worries
me if the ship out date is pushed further out.

More delays to come?

Dear all,

Just a brief update to let you know that during BDP Round 3, a technical error
caused Mountain View Observatory to sell at a lower than intended price for some
customers and full price for others.

The initial amount charged was a temporary hold which will be returned. When
we are ready to ship in Spring 2023, all customers will be charged the lower
of the two prices displayed.

Hi,
I have been away from Lego a long time and have a poor understanding of 9V and
12V trains. I do understand they run on electrified track and contain and internal
battery. If I were to purchase one - new/sealed or used - should I have concerns
that the battery may have leaked into its compartment in both cases? I was
looking at instructions for these trains and it seems the battery came built
in. I would imagine in any instance like this (and I have dealt with older battery
operated toys before so I have some experiences) the battery may leak/corrode
over time. Anything to disabuse me of this notion? Just trying to figure out
the best approach to purchase. Should I look for a used and confirmed work model?

While non-functional, plastic brick guns are better than real ones, I just wonder
whether it might be time to drop that MOC theme? I think LEGO Group, having acquired
Bricklink, needs to also reflect on its corporate values before allowing them
to be posted. For a non-American user, I must admit MOCs referring to modern
hand-held weaponry (as opposed to historical, fantasy or science-fiction types)
are always slightly disturbing, though I harbour no ill-will to their creators
who often demonstrate high technical abilities.

Hi, I am MTKplayz/Slickz, a newbie in the LEGO designing community and I need
help with a low to ground steering system that supports AWD for a Supercar.
I have come up with a couple of designs but none have fitted the occupation of
a Supercar chassis. So if someone can give me tips on how LEGO and other
designers fit a differential in a steering system with Suspension, it
will be a great big help to me.

Hi,

I had choose a ADP design, but now I see they are all gone and I don't have
anything.
I had ordered (not payed, because that will be later) and never heard of it again.



This is what I see in my order page:


AFOL Designer Program Orders
You won't be charged for you order(s) until it's ready to be shipped.
Once we receive payment, your ADP order(s) will become BrickLink orders and manageable
in Orders Placed.

You ordered 1 designs
Go to your ADP orders


When I follow the link: Go to yuor ADP orders it will go to an error page.


Someone know more about this?
Probably I did something wrong.

Kind regards,

Tim

So I signed-up to be notified when the LEGO Horizon Forbidden West: Tallneck
is back in stock. Get an email this morning that it's back in stock, yay!
Go to check and out of stock online and in my local store. The email is 35
minutes old. Apparently I should have checked right before I left for work and
may have had better luck.

Can LEGO please correctly update our Order Details Pages with the following:

1) Correct SKU listed under item instead of empty field / NULL
2) Correct item name listed Name instead of SKU:random ID
3) Correctly linking to the product page at brick link product page, for example

https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/designer-sets-for-adult-fans-of-lego/215744/Modular-Construction-Site

4) Change "Backordered" or "In process" to the expected ship date "Ships March
2023"
5) Remove CANCELED orders from "My Orders" page. (LEGO canceled 8+ orders and
they clutter up the "My Orders" page. I thought we could order 5+ and didn't
read the notice
6) Make it not possible to create an invalid order. If a user can't order
more then 1 of an item, they should never be able to checkout. Canceling orders
after the fact just makes for disappointed customers.


The following is what I see in my orders

SKU NAME Price Total Order Date
MISSING 6434001 319.99 344.79 May 16
MISSING 6434003 299.99 323.24 May 16
MISSING 6434000 199.99 215.49 May 16
MISSING 6434002 129.99 140.06 May 16
MISSING 6393841 249.99 269.36 May 16
910002 Studgate Train Station 399.99 377.11 May 16 $50 VIP POINTS

MISSING 6397999 229.99 247.81 Nov 21
MISSING 6413196 289.99 312.46 Nov 21


I estimate LEGO made ~16 million USD on these orders. So please hire a few interns
(free labor) to correctly display the order information. It been incorrect since
the start.

Does anyone know when the round 3 sets are set to ship? I thought it was originally
set to be Q3 of 2022 but have read some people saying Q4 2022 and some saying
Q1 2023. Does anyone know the official date, BL or LEGO S@H have never sent an
email updating buyers of this.

Thanks!

Hello All,

I hope that Lego increases the maximum amount of preorders per set. I made the
stupid decision of not ordering the Observatory and the train station for my
brother when I saw it around the 4000 unit mark at around 10:44 AM - I tried
calling my brother thrice on my cell to confirm, but he didn't picked up.
I figured thst it would still be available later today. I checked at around
noon AM, and it was sold out; the train station barely reached the maximum 10,000
units nark. With that said, I panicked and ordered it quickly. After calling
my other brother on the phone about missing out on the Observatory, I checked
Bricklink, and the train station just sold out.

Even though my brothers and I are adults, we share our Lego collection.

I have read months before that Lego increased the maximum order amount for round
1. I hope they do it again since all the sets in roind 3 seem to sell out within
the day - it took a few days for rpund 2 to sell out.

So I tried to get the steampunk lab set, but it didn't fund in time. I paid
lego for the set. What do I do now? Will the order just drop off? Do I need
to call lego and cancel?

Thanks in advance.

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,

because it went above our purchase limits for the following items:

I ordered two..

Was one a limit?

Hello everyone, I’ve often found these small kind of discs inside lego lots.
Are these lego parts or I can throw them away once for all?

Thank you very much.

It seems there’s now a neon yellow minifig torso, but no current sellers. Anyone
know which minifig this is from? Thanks!

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.

Hi LEGO friends,

I am brand new to this community and I was wondering how the Designer program
works. When the 17th may is there is it just that the several sets come online
and you can order them? If it reach 3000 then it will be produced if not your
money would be shipped back?

Is this how it works? Or do I have to do something special?

greets!

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.

Hallo guys,

I play again with my wonderful 12v trains. But...... i don't understand
why my 12v Lego transformer doesn't work well. While trains running, power
get off suddenly, after few seconds it starts again and so on....
May be it's overloaded? Or it comes damaged?

Someone could help me? Tks a lot...

The plain BLY minifig head seems to have disappeared from the DB???

I think it is currently out of stock from any seller (?)

But why is it now gone on the list of colors for this part?

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?

I have a very simple question but can’t seem to find the answer. If I like a
designer program set (let’s say in the early stages) how do I make sure I am
not too late to pre-order it? Does it come with a notification (pre order alert)
or should I log on to bricklink on a daily basis 😬😬😬?
Kind regards J Prickaerts

Hello fellow Bricklinkers,


I have seen the new Lego sets that were announced this morning (or night for
some people). I love the new giraffe and zebra molds and the cool stickers.

I am wondering when these sets will be added to the BL catalogue (as a set).
I know its VERY early but I would like to know the parts, minifigures, stickers
ect.

Thanks,
The Cute Giraffe

There are only a few pearl dark gray (pdg) monofigs out there and claim to have
pdg hands as well. I could not find on BL the original minifigs where these pdg
hands came from.
Any ideas?

What is LEGO? People keep talking about it on the forum but I have no idea what
it is. I tried to order some from a seller on BrickLink but all I received were
small pieces of plastic in various shapes and colors. Please help.

Just noticed that the prices for Round 3 of the Designer Program have been updated.
Of the 9 options, the cheapest set is $130, second cheapest is $200. 5 of the
9 sets are $300+. I know some of the sets are quite large, but I think having
no low priced options this wave may hurt the program.

I am not sure what the exact criteria is for sets brought into this program,
and maybe there aren't any small sets ready, but I wouldn't be surprised
5 sets aren't fully funded this round. Anyone else thinking along the same
lines?
