Define MOCing. I'm way too new to legoing to know all these letter lol. I want to get some loose legos in February and give freehand building a go, since I've noticed some of the general building techniques while building the models. I want to see if I can construct a basic hous and have it be sturdy. Maybe without a roof, because I think that might be beyond me at the moment. Although, I did recently build a Lego sail for a ship, not cloth, so maybe following the same principles will result in a pitched roof.

That's mighty impressive. I will have to look into getting a long screws. I'll have to use a stud finder and see if I can figure out where the studs are in the wall. Maybe I will do hanging shelves. Although I still think maybe a industrial shelving unit might be the way to go. I think having adjustable shelves is still something I want to have. Maybe I will ask the people at the hardware store their opinion. Or people at the Lego store. I'll be going there in the first week of January. I definitely intend to solve my storage problem in the early part of January. Although I think I'm going to keep the manuals and those big storage containers.

What's the most weight you'd put on a bracket shelf that's 2.5 feet long? In your guyses opinions. My collection is mostly light weight because I have a lot of Loz brand mini block models, and I have a few heavier clones, like a star wars x wing and the aircraft carrier I'm working on now which I think may end up weighing quite a bit. Plus I'm getting some Lego clone pirate ships in January (please don't hate me, I'm so unbelievably poor) that I'm sure will be weighty. Plus I'm think of getting the Lego Wall E. Or maybe just the birds. I have to look at my money.

Good to know. Thanks for the info, Vodnik! I may get that instead of the birds in January!

I just started a couple of months ago. Right now I work on a black collapsible table in the living room (and get yelled at routinely to move). It's a 3*3*3*3 table, obviously square. I have one project box with compartments right now. Though, with this 800+ piece aircraft carrier I'm working on I had to break out a couple of Tupperware containers too. I'm getting another box next month. My hope is one day to have a room dedicated to Lego. We'll see.

I save every box I have.

This is a set I've wanted for a month or so but have held off because of this defect. Is the reworked neck fix going to be included in new shipments?

I'm in the united States, in Ohio. I'm not entirely sure my family would be down with me building out of skids. I'm going to look into home depot and see what I find. I'd like at least 12 inch deep shelves. Why, oh why did I pick an expensive hobby? Or, I should say, why did it pick me? Haha. Cuz even the clones aren't always cheap.

Do you guys freehand build? If so how did you learn? What did you build? Where'd you get loose bricks?

Does buying an x wing clone count? It's beautiful. Not perfect, but awesome.

How much do wall mounted shelves run? I tend to worry about those because they aren't adjustable. Idk if you read my intro thread, but I'm poor as dirt, so my main collection is clones, and if got a large amount of architecture nano brick towers and I worry about height. I also am currently working on a large aircraft carrier that looks like it could be 2 feet long when completed. I'm not sure how tall, though. I'm going to be getting the shelves in January (when I'll also be buying a Lego birds set, official Lego). January can't get here soon enough.

I'm money challenged and space challenged. What kind of shelving do you recommend? My room is only 10 feet by 7 feet and I think I have maybe a 2-3 foot section free once I box up my shoes and move the small bookcase currently housing those (I don't think the bookcase is sufficient for legos). I was thinking about getting an industrial shelving unit that you would find in a garage because the sides would be open for overhang and there'd be more room in general. What do you think? All I know is I currently have projects sitting all over the garage unprotected because I've got no place to store them and it is scary to think about.

Thanks! Would I be able to post pics of my collection if they aren't Lego brand?

I collect BB guns, pellet guns, knives, swords, and daggers. I collect hats of all kinds. I collect shoes. I used to collect books. I also collect Harry Potter things.

Hey! I'm Leslie. I started collecting Lego sets and clone brands about 3 months ago. I'm poor so I only have one Lego set. It's under the tree and idk what it is yet haha. All the ones I have bought myself have been clones I've come across online, but I'm planning on buying my first official Lego set in January at the Lego store. A birds set. It just looks so fascinating. My favorite sets are pirate ships. I have two of those. I am currently working on an aircraft carrier. My last build was a nano brick pirate ship. I think I may be a nontraditional brick lover. My being on a limited income (I'm disabled) and having bills take most of that money has left me at the mercy of clones. Except for gifts, haha. But I'm very much looking forward to my first trip to the Lego store for my birds. I think, for my birthday, I'll ask for one of the Lego creator building sets. Will I be accepted here?
