8 Billboards so far... by Humble Bricksmith, on Flickr Over the past year, I've been working on making city billboards, depicting classic LEGO themes. Billboards are a great way to add unique flair and character to any LEGO city or diorama. Without using any printed bricks, it becomes very difficult to create small details without scaling up your creation. I figured that billboards are a good compromise between detail and scale. For anyone interested, check out my Flickr, or support me on LEGO Ideas! Also, you're welcome to download LDD or Studio files of these projects Here.

Since there are the first leaked pictures out now and we seem to (surprisingly) have no thread for it yet, I thought it would be the time to just make one ;). First of all the facts we know so far: Pieces: 3745 Estimated Price: 360$/320£ Release:1st April 2024The Set was made based on a fan design from an Lego Ideas Contest, you can find the winner announcement here. The leaked picture is, as always quite bad quality and can be found in the usual places, so I will wait to judge the build when we got better pictures of it. So far I would say they added a lot details including D&D creatures such as the Beholder and seems to include at least 6 minifigures including a dragonborn using the vidiyo-dragon head in green. Nice catch, as always I fail to see so many details in those low quality-pics. Rogue looks quite obvious but I couldn´t have identyfied the High Elven Druid exactly as this. Also it seems like we are getting a D&D CMF in September: 21348 Lego Ideas Dungeons & Dragons and D&D CMF - Page 3 - LEGO Historic Themes - Eurobricks Forums

Here is my review on LEGO Ideas 21353 The Botanical Garden: THE GOOD: Look absolutely beautiful. With some very nice interior details. Good selection of plants with interesting building experience. Love the new flowers pieces. Comes with surprisingly high number of lego birds and even the D&D CMF brown bird. THE NOT SO GOOD: A bit too expensive. The centre roof need extra care to put on as one of the tree often interfere with it. Bought this day one with the GWP promo and what a beautiful looking set. I only appreciate the look of it once I completed the build. It's an enjoyable build with lots of details with relatively no surprises. Most of the build are very traditional in , the only parts I felt wow I didn't know you can build like this were one of the big tree with the trunk built by gears and the small balcony inside but this is due to the fact I have built lots of big sets in the past 10 years. The exterior looks great but the interior is fun too. The cafe has some very simple yet detailed mini builds that I absolutely love. The new flowers piece is so flexible and great to look at. It's also good to see LEGO include 12 minifigures which is rare in a LEGO Ideas set. Although most of them are just utilising existing parts, but the new vision impaired minifigure head does look good and has lots of potential. One thing to note though, LEGO tried their best to pack the transparent pieces in seperate bags to minimise scratches but I still got a few noticeable scratches. And while the big tree is nice, it sometimes does caught in the edge of the roof when putting the roof on, not big issue and can be avoided with care but I wish this goes smoother.The GWP has the same pavements design and look fits well. However, due to different base plates, it does look odd to have it placed right in front without lifting up the Botanical Garden. In the end, this is a very beautiful set but also fairly expensive. It does gives you more in terms of volume and details compare to the X-Mansion released at the same time but still the price feel a bit expensive. If you don't mind the price, it's definitely one of the best this year. Otherwise the LEGO friends one is probably is also an alternative with a more interesting building experience.

This model features a winter chalet and ski hill with a working surface lift. It is also full of fun little details and play features, which you can see in the video below. Ski Chalet The chalet is open in the back to allow some playability on the inside. The interior features some comfortable furnishings and a cozy fireplace to relax beside after a long day of skiing. It also has a line for hanging your wet clothes to dry. Outside the chalet is a picnic table, ski rack and snow making machine, and if you're lucky you might even get a glimpse of the elusive Yeti. Some ambitious kids have also set up a toboggan run from the roof. Good thing the paramedics are nearby! Ski Slope The ski lift brings the minifigs to the top of the hill and automatically starts them down the ski run. I also added a working starting gate for those minifigs that are more inclined to race. There is also a design video on JKBrickworks YouTube channel.

Here's another topic that may get booted out of the Technic section for looking too detailed Ideas link: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/73fc6d39-20c6-4f9f-9473-c6ed35396d09 Photos: https://bricksafe.com/pages/sariel/classic-us-truck-rc I present a simple, nearly minifig-scale truck based on the classic Kenworth W900 in a flat top sleeper variant. The idea behind submitting it to Ideas was that since LEGO keeps making simple RC cars such as 421090 and 42124, then why not a simple RC truck? I was inspired by the excellent Mack Anthem set, but eventually drifted towards building the body with System pieces because at this scale I couldn't get a decent detail level with Technic. So it's a System body on a Technic chassis, and the functions are as follows: remotely controlled drive & steering with a working steering wheel opening doors and hood removable back of the sleeper (for changing batteries), the Control+ hub activated by turning the round tile on truck's roof trailer with parking outriggers and opening doors reasonably realistic hitching action (the trailer lowers onto the fifth wheel when you manually retract the outriggers) Any votes are appreciated and a full video is below: -
Hello friends, just thought I'd share my Finding Nemo LEGO project. Put a bit of time and energy into this one. Cheers! Finding Nemo, Dory & Friends LEGO IDEAS

Hi all Coming out of my dark ages, I was super keen to put together a lego city (being a big fan of Jang and his amazing city). Here's my first attempt, combining a number of themes spanning 40 years - Classic Town, City, Lego Ideas, Modulars and a few builds from the classic 6000 ideas book. Still very much a work in progress, but pretty happy with it! Second round will be to try to include trains, but that will be a challenge!

Here is my review on 40487 Sailboat Adventure: THE GOOD: Excellent display piece as the boat looks good! Lot of details and interesting build. Great new sailor torso! Including 2 dolphins. THE NOT SO GOOD: while it's interesting use of crystal pieces but I feel it's a stretch to represent splashes. Threshold for this GWP is high (at least for us in NZ ...) Great GWP to be honest, I really like the boat. Both the end product and the building experience. It's great this comes with an excellent sailor torso and 2 dolphins! It will be interesting to see if people prefer a brick built sail or traditional fabric one. I wish Lego release these kind of sets more often and more widely. It's very hard to get GWP like this down here in NZ due to limited stock and it doesn't help with a high threshold but then this is the whole point of GWP, something desirable to increase sales. I wonder if it's easier to get these GWP in other parts of the world??? Anyway, great set and recommending this to everyone.

Hi, my name is Nathan, I'm new here (obviously) and have some cool NASA alt builds to share as well as my Lego Idea Dinotopia Waterfall City. Hope to be able to share without wearing out my welcome!

I searched but couldn't find a topic for this set so I made one. It appears that Newman's face just leaked on the usual place. Of course it could also be used for Dennis in Jurassic Park, but looking at the timing it's probably for Seinfeld. Of course, as others have discussed in different topics, there's also the blue hair from the "Everyone is awesome" set, which I think might be a good fit for Kramer if used in a different colour (if not for Stranger Things' Steve). Any thoughts?

Hello there, I´m about to expand the digital city and want you to have a part in the future planing. This is the current layout: The expansion will be on the right side, continuing the big long street. For this I need 2 new building right of the pub building. The first one will be build on a 16x32 baseplate. The second building will be a fire station. I´m not sure about the size of the fire station. Maybe I will be using 2 32x32 baseplates side by side. Now I need you for some Ideas. 1.: What do you want for the first (16x32) building? It should get the same height like the pub building. In the ground floor we can add another small store or public area. You can also tell me your favourite color which we can use for this building. 2.: Do you prefer a modern shaped fire station like one of this: Or an older one like this: I would be very happy if you write me your suggestions. If you have any other ideas for expanding the city you can also tell me. Thanks for your help

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new around here so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post this here, but wanted to share with you my most recent IDEAS project! Created by the legendary Wilbert Awdry in 1946, Thomas is and has been beloved by children around the world and has become an icon for both kids and adults alike. To celebrate Thomas's 75th Anniversary, I created this project to pay tribute to this beloved little Tank Engine and the man who created it. Like Thomas himself, this build is highly based on the (LB&SCR) E2 Tank Engine with additional details based on his appearance in both the Railway series and the classic TV series. Thomas includes a detailed interior that can easily be accessed by detaching the roof. The cabin features space for 1 Minifigure and a highly detailed furnace. Though too small for any motorized features, Thomas's chassis features a built-in gear mechanism to allow the wheels to rotate smoothly. Currently, we are very close to hitting 5.000 supporters so if you want to see this become an actual set, then consider supporting this project through the link down below: https://bit.ly/2Ruzxzp

I wanted to share my experience with you. During the Covid I was forced to stay home a lot more than usual and then I decided to join LEGO Ideas with a project that you can find in my signature. It was well received and I had the push I needed to believe in it and then starting really advertising for it within my friends. But in the meantime I noticed some things that I do not like a lot about the ideas project and I will share them with you so that you may help me with your opinions. 1) Staff Picks. I really do not like Staff Picks. It's nice as the idea per se, but the effect is really surprising. The staff picked projects get a boost in visibility and hence in votes that changes totally the lifespan of the project. Projects that had 10 20 votes per day once picked were insanely boosted up to 400 votes per day. That is too much of a difference, showing that people will vote what they see, not what they really like, because the project has been there all the time, simply it wasn't that visible. 2) Cheating. It's very easy to cheat on the ideas platform. But in a sneaky way. You don't cheat directly on ideas, but you can use bots or programs to upvote your project in social medias like reddit, facebook or the like. When your project is very visible, it will draw a lot of attention and a lot of votes. I will not call names, that's not stylish and fair, but I've seen projects who get an insane amount of "likes/upvotes" on different social media platforms which cannot simply happen because the project is good. I have analyzed similar projects on similar plaftorms in the same time spans and I noticed very suspiscious activities. 3) It's stressful. Believe me, it is. There are days in which you gather 200 votes without doing anything special, those days you say "Yeah! I can do it". There are days in which though you ask friends for, or you have some spotlights somewhere, you will get 0 votes for hours and you say "No. It's over. I will never make 10k". This rollercoaster is really frustrating. I advice people to join LEGO Ideas only if you have a great deal of patience. I wish to read for your opinions.

As we all know, vote caused a conflict between Bionicle fans and System fans. The main reason is fact that all of Top 4 series (exept Bionicle) have already some great sets. LEGO Pirates fans have 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay set, LEGO Space fans have 70816 Benny's Spaceship and 21109 Exo-Suit. Fans of Castle series have 21325 Medieval Blacksmith and I'm sure, we'll see some kind of Castle-themed series soon, even without voting. What about LEGO Bionicle fans? After cutting short its story in 2010, and waiting 5 years for proper continuation, LEGO created a reboot that failed in many ways. But gave us great parts to creating MOCs. Unfortunatelly, Bionicle G2 ended in 2017 and since that, it's really hard to get any pieces for normal price. Remnants of LEGO Star Wars buildable figures are expensive cause of license and Bricklink is the only place where we can get CCBS parts now. Bionicle fans are affraid that LEGO will soon destroy moulds from G2, making impossible for us to get bricks like 24189, 24190, 24191 or 20474 that were great for building MOCs. The conflict will increase until LEGO start caring about Bionicle fans. If LEGO doesn't want to give us new sets, it should at least release some jars with CCBS parts in three size variants: Matoran, Toa and Titan, which will contain skeleton parts, shells (not only in standard colors, but sand-green, purple etc. too), weapons, technic joints, technic panels and recolored masks that will allow us to reforge our anger into creativity. Bionicle has great potential to create action figures, giant fantasy creatures and vehicles with lot of technic functions. But it's hard to build MOCs without parts. If there's a LEGO theme like LEGO Classic, we can have LEGO CCBS too. I know, part of system fans doesn't care, but what about you, Bionicle fans? Do you think, there's a chance for CCBS jars or we'll continue to buying sets like Corvette ZR1 just to have parts to create another Rahi? :p -
This is my first LEGO Ideas contest submission. Concept: one set to create multiple sports (more than shown here) so you can always build any sport you and your friends like with just one set, and start playing. The field is modular so you can I hope you'll love it, and will vote for it if you like it. Thanks! https://ideas.lego.com/s/ca:68a77abdd25247acb9f590a999774b55

Real life ISS is constantly growing with new modules attached. So set #21321 has become outdated. In this video I will show how to add missing modules "Nauka" and "Prichal" to the Station and how to upgrade russian segment for better resemblance. Everything is made from extra parts from this set (and parts from one of Soyuz spacecrafts from this set) or from enough easy-to-find parts. Except for solar panels, which I used from Shuttle Discovery 10231 (But you may use the ones from newer and cheapier sets like 60227). Thanks for watching! Keep your stations safe! -
It's Christmas Time...Santa's Cottage (on LEGO IDEAS too) It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas and as usual in this period it's time for a Christmas themed creation. This cozy shelter is the home of Santa Claus, who is preparing his world tour for delivering gifts. It's called Santa's Cottage and you can support it on LEGO IDEAS too. If you like the bizarre Santa's Cottage please consider to give it a chance of becoming an actual LEGO IDEAS set. You can shortcut straight to LEGO IDEAS platform using this handy link: https://bit.ly/Santas-Cottage-Norton74 Santa's Cottage features a classic Xmas color scheme, an uncommon shape and an unconventional doors/windows style. The main feature is probably the asymmetrical roof with a very sloping shape to the left. The woodshed is located under the excess roof. The red/white/black color combo is simple but effective, and the snowy trees in the background match well. Last but not least the door and windows are round, a shape rarely spotted on a cottage, but quite common in Hobbit houses. Santa, who is coming home from a relaxing walk, has also a nice off-road vehicle painted with a color scheme matching with the cottage. You can spot it on the right. This is probably my last MOC for this year and I wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Since I've recently picked up two large boxes from my parent's attic containing my old Classic Space sets, I've also started to design models in the spirit of the old Classic Space theme. I started with Classic Space / Star Wars mesh-ups (see here if you're curious), but then I wanted to do an homage to my favourite Classic Space set and here's the result: Unfortunately, my vision contains parts that use colours that Lego doesn't currently have in its inventory. So I had two choices, either to compromise on my design in order to make a regular MOC or to shoot for the stars and enter it on the LEGO Ideas platform...as the title indicates, I opted for the latter: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/2a57e5ea-cf61-4129-b4ac-b09fe3d15107 As you can see, I wanted to modernise the design with more curves, slopes and tiles while keeping the classic look & feel, the clean, sleek appearance and as many features as I could. Also, Classic Space sets usually had dope play features, so it was important for me to also include some kind of gimmick, which is the fully detachable shuttle in the back: Two ships in one! Here are some more pictures: So if you like it, I'd appreciate it if you followed this link and support the entry so that this set can be made into a reality. Cheers.
