Lego on a roll?!

Recommended Posts

So... I saw this at walmart and am a little intrigued. The price was a little high for what I thought they should go for so I didn't buy it. I did like that they had pink and cyan. My daughters like to build lego disney and friends and those colors will go nicely. Regardless. I added pictures to Flickr but can't figure out how to share them here.... I tried looking at the tutorial in the help subforum. I tried sharing but this new topic window says there is no image there. I also tried to insert as a URL but it glowed red.

It looks like a roll of rubber studded tape. It says on the wrapper you just cut to fit, peel and stick. I thought I could make a table all lego sheeted. Maybe I could get creative and do a wall with legos or something else. Not sure if it will fit legos or how well so I thought I would post on here and see if anyone has experience with it or can tell me what they think. Thanks!

I totally thought this thread was going to be about recent Lego financial data success and hoping maybe they could hire all those people back, but no, its the tape thing. :tongue:

Might want to have the rubber tested for lead content. Is that the clearance price at $4.50, because they should give you $4.50 in store credit just for looking at it. :grin:

I first saw this stuff on kickstarter (or was it indiegogo? one of those fund raising sites).  Now many companies seem to be making it.

I haven't tried it - don't really have any use for it.  I've heard it works well, but that was the original - with so many companies making stuff like this, how well it works probably varies wildly.

Interesting... I've heard of this stuff but never actually seen any. If I remember right brickset once did a review of something similar - got it! here's the link: https://brickset.com/article/28697/review-lego-compatible-sticky-tape

Great review!

So did I! 

@Sariel did a video review of these products that you might want to check out:

I think it's pretty good, but I haven't bought any myself as I have no use for it really.

Yeah, loads of places do it now. You can get it quite cheap from China too if you don't mind waiting.

I got some and for slopes it's ok, but won't hold upside down. works best on 2x4+ bricks as there is not much grip.

If you were using this just to tape it to a wall (or upside down), and not for it's flexibility, then you could start with a large plate to get a lot of studs connected for more grip.

I've seen that on Amazon and at Walmart. I haven't been brave enough to try it out though... Please post pictures if you do!
