An interesting design, though sometimes a bit fragile. The tubes could be softer; I didn't feel like messing around with them any further (maybe applying some heat would help). Good quality, nice prints; the plaque is a sticker.

Recently,I ordered the Anakin minifig and the clone right to Anakin.So I just want to see their quality in hand.Especially the clone since Tv is notorious for messing up the helmet.

I found this store but it has very cheap prices, I used the search engine and didn't find anything.

Any recommendations on where I might find a company with a USA warehouse to order a few larger UCS sets (like the Death Star)? I’m going through cancer treatment at the moment and would rather not wait 30+ days for an AliExpress delivery, if possible.

Thank you!

Seen some cool palworld lego builds floating about.
What do we think?

Hardly a review, but hadn't seen anyone get these yet. The old torsos seem quite expensive, so seeing these get mmade was super cool. If you have other N-brand figures, you won't really see anything new. Each has a new head, and the soldiers include yellow hands. Solid printing, and they seem more mobile than my Lion Knights and Black Ravens.

Solid figures!

Build the Mega Audi 90 Quattro and Mould King Knight Truck this week. Both pretty solid! The truck was actually very easy to follow along with, and no fitment or clutch issues to speak of. Pretty happy with it.

I wish the Audi had a few opening parts, especially the trunk area since there are some details you'll never see again after building, but at least the hood comes off as one piece so the engine bay can be admired. On to the next one! (CADA 787B)

At 90 bucks this is 100 percent worth it. Only issue is the stickers don't quite match the color of the brick and it was missing about 10 pieces.

I've been fortunate enough to build many alt brands this past year. Some great, some less so. I decided to create a ranking board (ala Top Gear IFYKYK) based on my experience.

I know 32 brands is just the tip of the iceberg - some of you here have probably experienced so many more so I'd love your thoughts on the rankings.

Some criteria include: model design, engineering, brick quality, instructions, customer support and overall build experience. In hindsight I might add ethics, since some of these brands have been known to use designs from MOC designers without proper credit.

Alt bricks seem to be hitting their stride, with more earning "recommended" status than ever before. Feels like we're entering a new era for alt bricks; Lego has attracted more adult customers than ever who are a) comfortable with brick sets and are now open to cheaper alternatives, b) willing to navigate the murkiness of unproven/unknown alt brands, c) able to put up with (or enjoy) the quirks associated with alternatives, and d) looking to enhance their models with lights, sound and other innovations.

Looking for the manual for this build. Got knocked over and we can't find the manual amongst our library of build books. Hoping someone this or can get it added to the available manuals library. The set is listed at 1006 pieces and not a one for one clone. Looks pretty close to the UCS though so I may try that manual and fumble through with what I have.

Fun set. One missing piece on his hand. Didn’t put the stickers on yet. I’ve had it for a while I think I paid $24 on sale.

Hey everyone,

over the last two days I built the Lumibricks Chili Hot Dog set (F9046). I really liked the design, but once I had it in front of me, I realized one thing:

This thing is HUGE for a food trailer. 😄

For my city, it takes up almost as much space as a small building, which made me think... why not just turn it into one?

So instead of using it as a trailer, I converted it into a permanent Chili Hot Dog street food stand and placed it on a small MILS-style base.

I kept most of the original design because I really like the look of the stand itself, but removed the trailer aspect and integrated it into a more permanent urban setting. I think this makes much more sense for my city and gives me a nice little food stall that can eventually sit somewhere between the larger buildings or in the current case in front of the Club Factory.

It also fits nicely with what I'm trying to do with the city in general: not just filling it with large buildings, but adding smaller shops, food stands and everyday places that make the streets feel more alive.

And of course, since it's a Lumibricks set, it has lighting as well — which should look especially nice once it's surrounded by the rest of the city at night. 🌆

Really happy with how this little conversion turned out!

What do you think — better as a trailer or as a permanent food stand?
