My 2 and 4 year olds have been watching me get back into legos for the last few weeks. I am looking to get them a set to play with. Are there any go to Lego/Duplo sets? My oldest daughter likes princess/ building castles, and my youngest likes cars/trucks. Any goon wisdom or just go crazy dropping

Yiggy posted:My 2.5 year old loves the toy story sets. We’ve rebuilt the rc car and the buzz coaster many times the simplicity of them makes it easy for them to grasp. I had to remove the flag and balloon pieces on the coaster and anything that’s less sturdy such as the antenna on the RC car. The LEGO movie 2 minifig sets also well received. The Benny space squad and the unikitty tea party. Minifigs made the most sense to them at first. Awesome! Thanks!

I don’t know if this question even makes sense, but I figured trying here would be better then reddit. If I want to build a Moc (from like jkbrickworks) and I click through to rebrickable, what strategy do people use to buy stuff? Whoever has the highest percentage of the pets? Or some pieces from tons of stores? I would like to build a few of their things, but have never used rebrickable. It also seems that stores that have 99% of the parts will be twice as much as a store with 96%? I feel like I am not smart enough to live that moc life.

Carbohydrates posted:Okay, this is all just my personal process, so grain of salt and all that. Cojawfee posted:I haven't tried Rebrickable but I tried Brick Owl once, and their store was terrible. It's difficult as hell to get a wishlist going, and it's just as frustrating to figure out how to buy anything. It would suggest stores to me, but I'd click in and they'd all have insane minimum buys or some of the parts would be insanely expensive. Like Carbohydrates said, Bricklink is the easiest place to buy parts from. Even then, it is still a bit frustrating. Bricklink doesn't look at minimum orders, so you could get a cart with a store that requires a minimum of 25 dollars. Or it builds a cart in a store where a part you want has a minimum buy of 20 or something. And it still has issues where someone decides that their 2x4 plates are worth double what anyone else charges for no reason. You'll have to spend a few hours trying to consolidate between different carts, realizing one store is a total bust, so you have to then search for those parts in other stores you have carts with to try to get your number of orders down. Expect to spend at least 150% what you think you're going to pay. Buying parts for MOCs is an exercise in patience. Especially when you realize a store you bought from only ships out once a week. Thank you both so much! I will check in after I get my 2 orders in. Are there any other places to see more kinetic builds then JK Bricklink? I really like the moving stuff.

Hopper posted:I need this to go with my Discworld novel collection. I will have to look into bricklinking parts for the first time. Good thing I have nothing else to do since we are under a shelter at home order now, too. Yeah, it took me about an hour to figure out how to add and buy stuff. Very worthwhile.

Boredom has me wondering what the most fun set to build would be? I have all the real sets I want right now, plus do not want to drop a few hundred on new stuff. So what would be the most fun build to look for on AliExpress? Just pure fun/wonder. I would say the James Bond Aston Martin was fun (also my first build back as a grownup). The Saturn V was amazing to hide all the studs. I’m mostly looking for something not crazy expensive that would be fun to build, disassemble, and store till my kids are older/the next pandemic.

Nice! I’ll search for some modulars. I have never done any of them, and they look pretty cool. I have the F40, but the Caterham is pretty cheap. The diner and the Temple of Airjitzu seem more affordable then Ninjago city, but that thing looks massive and bad rear end. Has anyone build the roller coaster?

Waltzing Along posted:Probably my least favorite build. It's repetitive and hurts. Very very boring. And bits are finicky and annoying. It's cool assembled but for how long it takes it is not fun. Find the instructions online and look through them to see. The pillars were the worst part. Done and done. Will not mess with that. OSU_Matthew posted:What’s crazy expensive? Probably under 100 for now. I know that things are slowing down, but I was going to turn to Jeremy/LOLtoy/Ywobb type resellers. I am not a huge star wars guy (even though I was in love with the Mandelorian. I was just seeing for some must have fun build sets. Thanks!

Tell me it’s dumb to buy the Rasor Creat just because I want (in order) IG-11, the child , and mando figs. Also I already got the brick head of the child and mando. But man do I love IG-11. I may have to get a funko pop? Good lord.

I picked up a Moc from AliExpress, and have a clutch question. Would this work if I had real Lego parts? As is, they do not actually stay together with this technique.  Question 2, if it doesn’t work, any way to glue it together without melting the bricks?

Carbohydrates posted:It's not impossible. Those pieces cannot be stacked without leaving a 1/2 plate / 4 LDU gap, sure, but the upper one isn't being used for that purpose. The curved slope bit is decorative, and it should be able to hit that slight ~4 degree angle by the grace of horizontal tolerances. The important part is the studs on either side of the ring holding the front and back of the engine together, which should work - but yes, it'll be weak. This is brilliant. I will see if I have some extras sitting around and those with a bit of tac perhaps. Thanks!

MarxCarl posted:It's excellent. I didn't think I'd like the sails, but they've grown on me. Brick built hull is a nice change from the ships in the regular pirate lines. Goes together great, has some neat building techniques, looks good, and bonus if it's on sale. Thanks all! I have no self control so I’m picking it up!

This is the first bit of Harry Potter Lego that I'm genuinely considering buying, especially at that price. This looks dope.
