Did you guys know that Ford Mustang station wagons are a thing?  Also, here's every Speed Champions-scale car I've made. The 30 on the left are all original, while the 10 on the right are modifications of LEGO sets or other builders' MOCs.

They did make some prototype shooting brakes but none ever made it production. I think they're planning on a shooting brake EV Mustang though. Everything out there you find with google is gonna be an aftermarket mod.

That's a real shame friend, hope things work out for you sooner rather than later. Out of curiosity I looked up the city docks on UK eBay and it's nuts. Some have sold for £600. I guess a lot of Lego speculators have been unloading their hoard because there are loads for sale.

This is a giant thread so maybe this is answered but the op is 11! Years old Anyways my preschool aged kid is just now getting into Legos. Some are at each of his grandma's house , and he has a bunch of random bricks and a few sets that have been sent as gifts to him. What's the best way to add all this stuff into one of the websites with MOCs? Maybe some genius made a scanning app where I can dump them all on a table and it categorizes everything random into a database? Or is this just something to do by hand, part by part, if I really want to? All he wants to do right now is make fire vehicles so for now I'm happy to just browse around and get ideas for what a 4-5 year old kid can make, but figure it's best to start tracking this sooner rather than later.

Create an account, enter the set number(s) you have (or go through their massive list and tick boxes), and it will build you an inventory of the parts you have and in what colors. It'll even tell you the retail value of your collection. I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but I don't MOC and just want a list of what I have that can easily be handed to my wife when I inevitably die in the Great Lego Avalanche of 20XX.

Brickset is good for tracking sets, but it's kind of crap for managing inventories of parts. That's because a) it doesn't let you catalogue loose parts and b) because it draws inventories from the Lego site, it has incomplete or no inventories from really old sets (ie. 20+ year old sets). Rebrickable is probably your best bet. That site lets you catalogue loose parts and it has lots of MOCs that you can get instructions for and it'll match what parts you have to what the MOC needs. Disclaimer: I don't use it myself so I have no idea how user (un)friendly it is. As for the actual cataloguing of what you have, you'll have to do that the hard way. If you know what sets you have, you can separate those out which helps, but after that you'll have to sort and count parts and enter each one in individually.

Rebrickable will let you add sets and parts to your personal inventory (you can also flag certain sets as "not to be disassembled" if you like) and it'll then tell you what percentage you already own of any moc or official set you look at. They also have full inventories for everything on their site, it's very good.

Way back in the day I used Peeron to catalog all the sets I had. I don't think I've ever gone back to see if there's any special things it can do with that info lol.

Peeron was great. It's still around but hasn't been updated in at least ten years. There were some cool things you could do with it (like upload an Ldraw file of a MOC and it'll tell you if you had all the parts, and if not what was missing) but it's been superseded in pretty much every way by other sites these days like Rebrickable and Basebrick.

Ok so has anyone else had this issue? I've ordered all the parts off bricklink for a moc and even though bricklink told me I had 100% of the pieces in my carts (and yes, 100% quantities too), I'm missing poo poo all over the place. I've gone and checked my orders, I received everything I paid for. I've checked the original parts inventory and it had the correct amount of parts there. So there's got to be something wrong with bricklink. Having to re-order all the missing parts is a massive pain and needlessly costly since the sellers I originally bought from would have had the correct amount in stock at the time so now I'm out for all this extra shipping. Frustrating.

tuo posted:Outdated Bricklink data in regard to updated instructions by any chance? Possibly? Doing a manual search of the parts list file shows the right numbers though. And I also got extras of a few other parts that I only wanted 1 of. All of these things in isolation I'd write off as human error on my part or the sellers, but there's so many irregularities and as far as I can make out the sellers are correct and there's just waaaay too many issues for me to have missed all of these (I'm pretty meticulous about this). As for "licensed" parts, I'm not quite sure what you mean sorry? e: while on the topic of bricklink, I've had almost entirely positive experiences thankfully, buuuut for the love of god if you're a bricklink seller please double check you're getting your left and right wedge plates correct

Stuck at my parents' house during lockdown, no better time to go through all my old Lego sets! Nostalgia rush is POWERFUL. I'm wanting to get rid of the old grey pieces. Don't remember exactly when the colour changed, but I'd rather not mix them up in new builds if I can help it. Is there a market for these old colours now they aren't being printed any more? I don't think I have the patience to set up a bricklink store for the sake of a few hundred pieces, but I don't want to give them away if that's a foolish thing to do...

Those would be good “fill” pieces for the inside of anything you might want to build so I’d hang on to them. Too much effort to sell, too valuable to give away = keep and enjoy

They’re also okay for giving some visual variety to natural rock formations, especially when they get all “mossy” looking from being sun-yellowed. Breaks up the monotony of light bluish and dark bluish greys.

Great for grungy buildings too. Strategic placement of "clean" light bluish grey next to old grey instantly makes the place look filthy and unwashed.
