How does Lego accumulate parts that go into each bag in a set? I’ve seen videos of individual pieces being made in the molds, videos of the boxes of individual pieces going to and from the huge stock wall of parts with the robots, videos of minifigs being painted and put together, and videos of bags dropping into boxes to complete a set. But I’ve searched and never found any presentation on how the hundreds of parts are gathered, counted, and weighed to be put in a bag. How does Lego do that and are there any behind the scenes videos of that? I have a sneaking suspicion it’s a trade secret and that’s why I can’t find anything on this anywhere. I have a huge curiosity about this step because it seems like a little bit of magic to accomplish and would love to see it. Does anybody know of any behind the scenes videos of this? Thanks!

Getting started and strategy for the process
prepmaster posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello, I am interested in building a 1/144 scale battleship. Does anyone have plans for your boats or a resource I could use to help myself make a 1/144 scale battleship? I can get blueprints and ship plans for the SS Suffren. This is the battleship I would like to build. I'd love to look at blueprints and any plans ya'll have for building boats so I can try my hand at it. I'll be honest, I haven't built MOC in years.... Like 15. I've built with plans and even eyeball like a puzzle with my daughters. Some of this is my own rekindled passion after taking the girls to legoland and getting them some sets to build. They like to build and marvel. That's fine by me. I did that some myself. Eventually, all my sets became part of the melting pot until my lot was sold. I don't know what it would cost to get a decent set of bricks to try and build an MOC. I went ahead and downloaded LDD to try and get started. I'm curious how well I can do with it. I'm also curious how I can go from a LDD model to purchasing bricks so I can display this like I would want to do. My end game is to build it and sink it in my aquarium to enjoy as a massive ornament. Is it possible to get plans for the pirate ships at the lego scale model exhibit? Those were awesome! The blueprint shows the full hull. The top is water line up from the side and the bottom is in action renamed in 1944. I don't think this ship class was ever bedazzled but if anyone has experience with dazzling or can offer to the idea for an MOC, I'm all ears. -
I am wondering what the title says, how long before deconstruction happens on mocs? I usually keep sets together the most, spread between display and use. Usually 4-5 months, then I make a c model, then it stays like that. You probably keep your mocs together longer (I have only 3000 moc parts) and display them on a shelf like they are. Or you are like me, and disassemble a few days later. Share your thoughts.

I think it's great that TLG now include brick separators in larger sets, but now I have so many: so my question is: how many brick separators do you have? And would you prefer it if they weren't in sets and you could only buy them separately? Personally I have at least 8, but I don't mind! What'd your opinion?

Flickr | Brickshelf "The new TX4 model is an improvement of the older XT4 model. TX4 stands for "Tougher XT4 with 4 spinning blades". The TX4 models are easily reprogrammed to fit all your needs, from slicing vegetables to taking over the galaxy. " ~Makuro Industries The only way I wanted to revamp XT4 was by giving him a spinning function. Because all cartoon robots that have sawblades can do that, right? Those panels at his head were added to give his body build an "X" shape with the spinning function at the intersection. And spinning function because that was the whole idea behind this.
