Go to any set page on the Store, scroll down, and click Building Instructions.

You don't even have to do that. There's a link at the bottom of the Lego.com homepage under 'Support'. They have instructions for retired sets too, but it's pretty incomplete before maybe 10~15 years ago. If you want older instructions you'll have to find them elsewhere, but that's not difficult.


Say what you will about Terry Crews' football and acting careers, but he's mostly a pretty stand-up guy. Does a lot for women's rights and domestic abuse, amongst other things.

Yeah how can someone that frequents the internet not be familiar with Terry Crews :iiam:

Just the fact that he is a celebrity that is a huge nerd (huge star wars fan, runs a weekly DnD campaign, etc) would probably have made the internet embrace him, but he is also a spokesperson for womens rights, has come out and talked about how he was sexually abused (?) and have been praised for bringing that topic to light, he is a decent actor and absolutely hillarious in anything he is in, has like a masters degree in art and is an accomplished painter. The fact that he is a huge muscular guy that doesn't look like he would have any knowledge of any of the previous topics is icing on the cake.

Also while he did sometimes have some weirder takes and opinions, he was willing to listen to advice and admit he was wrong multiple times. Which is getting rare nowadays.

We don't need to all dogpile Waltzing Along for a bad take. Those will happen from time to time, and we just need to ask ourselves: what would Terry and Keanu do?

Hey Waltzing Along, wanna come over and play Lego? We can watch funny old spice commercials. My mom said we could use the TV in the basement.

I'm probably not going to get them because I'm trying to keep my collection from getting too out of hand, but man those hidden side sets are great in person. They remind me of the Ninjago Movie sets where they are just a step above most of Lego's designs. Just very creative and aesthetically pleasing.

Then again, I kind of regret not getting all of the Ninjago Movie sets occasionally....

If Terry Cruz was so famous, he would have been in Overwatch or Saints Row, instead of Crackdown 3. Looks pretty washed up to me. :smuggo:

Back to Lego stuff, I got the Statue of Liberty set, a great looking build that'll keep me in tan blocks for a while.

Is there any Lego store tricks I should know about?

I found out about mixing up parts on the minifig blister packs, ie. 15 total, so you can just grab the harder to find or army build legs and torsos only, etc.

That and I found out that some stores will sell PAB by the case but that's up to the manager the one in Austin won't do it unless it's a special AFOL day or something.

Yeah, I got the school and the bus (plus the juice bar) and put them together this weekend. The bus is a really neat vehicle and wouldn't look out of place in a Ghostbusters animated tv show. The school has more details than it has any right to have, and the methods used to hide the signs of building possession and activate them are ingenious and good design.

Also the school bus comes with a possessed porta-potty that shoots poop.

I don't know if I'd buy any more sets except maybe the trawler, but I would without hesitation recommend the bus.

While it is possible that Lego will approve this you might be able to get a parts list from the creator so you can build it yourself.

I went to the LEGO Store and they had several on display and I asked how the set was doing and they said that they sold out on the first day, some 100 sets. The employee told me that I should probably pick it up now if I want it because there's almost nothing left and it'd be a long while before they get another shipment. It's super popular, who would have thunk.

I picked one up just in case, but the person I was going to build it with is my now ex. :v:

Also adding more appreciation of the orange brick tool. The greatest piece Lego ever made.

They should still be in stores. They just were limited in production so the website didn't have many. Or so said the Lego store.
