    So sort by age, end pips, stud pips then with cross support on 2×3&4. Some cross support no bars, + bars, full depth cross support, back to not full now on all bars (apart from 1×8, but still differ) for ×1's.

    Yes, dream of new Lego part...well in bed with eyes closed. I used 18650 recharge battery, could cover it with Lego bricks, as wider than ×2 brick becomes ×5 wide, can use panels to get ×4 wide, likewise with the ends. So need new bricks to fit gap in corners.

    I've a few having end pips, can't say if made sans bars, or they broke off? End pips & bars both started in 1963 (longer 1969 & slope 1977) (trans' & with notch for wire made later). So are 1×2's end pips & no bars very rare? Just check, I've 3 of each, broken off bar & with N°. Wonder if Lego used the same moulds changed to having end pips instead of on a corner? I'd not considered end pips to be an improvement.

    Bought 450 pcs Buildin' Blocks in town £6. Only average 2 1/3 stud/brick. eBay, 660 for £7, includes plate & slope, 2×4 plate not holding atop, 2×4 brick bow in when on bottom, both cases can use 2 bricks instead of 1. Not all sizes in each colour, so only red useful. If 2 plate = 1 brick then average 2 1/2 stud/brick. Webrick, 500, 2•9 average stud/brick, but mostly 1 size/colour. 1000 has more colours. Thinking better = 1st, Buildin' Blocks if 1000 for £12, & not really matter if can't use all 1×1's. Need to ask them to get for me as none in shop, only on website.

    Short of fleshy colour of 1 shade, & red mixed from different brands on Nano Blocks. Did try doing Lego 1, short of green & tan plate.

    Had a go, Nano blocks that = 1/2 width but about same tall as Lego plate, ran out of green.

    Bought Klip of Italy set 1/2 price bit missing in town. Now buy off eBay, at 1st what I though = Lego, then some says has others. Now 1kg unbranded compatible, bag of Mega Blocks micro & maxi compatible, like basic set of 6 sizes. Given away Montini & 2-tall plate. Sometimes build something from non Lego. Did use a mix when short. Bought 450 pieces in town, = 6 sizes brick, only average 2 1/3 studs/brick when 2 2/3 if = studs/size, but at £6 still good value, also 32×32 base plate for £2.

    I'd like to build Coca-Cola lorry, but simple (no motor, steering). Built a striped & letter bricks lorry, & part of mosaics from Ideas Book N°3. I started on Santa Claus, your sans background. Only come back to Lego year ago. Looking at sometime to build mosaic of canal boat, can just lay bricks atop tapestry?

    MEGA BLOKS: Nano

    AndrewH7 replied to sam89's topic in Community

    Not found any on Amazon, but there = some on eBay. There be Nanoblock & Nano Megablock, search comes up with both, 1st = 4mm, & I believe 2nd to be 5mm. I've some Modulex Lego & guess the same. If they be compatible I'd like to build Modulex car onto Nano Mega Blocks car base, as Modulex sans wheels.

    I've been looking on eBay for about 1 year for Lego. Sill not sure fare price. WeBuyGames offer £5/kg, hope to get £10/kg selling to individual? (£=UKoGB&NI money). I buy cheaper, sometimes with other brand: 1/2kg £3-95 1•6kg £5-50 1•7kg £5 2kg £0-99 5kg £3-60 5kg £35 6kg £42

    Bought 5kg mix for £35 on eBay, just 2 miles away so pick up there. Tan castle turret & 1/4 round, = Harry Potter Castle, 1 just sold for £70. Bought castle, 3 bricks wrong colour, already 2, now I've the 3rd. So tan & brown, colour was short of. Black 1×2 plate, after some, seams sellers only have a few each.

    I've some plate with square on underside, built a trailer, =d bricks around the edge, & left on top of freezer where there is window in roof. Found it went whiter, & yellow bricks faded. So how to get them yellow again, more sun'll make them white?

    Found some Modulex on eBay, wasn't named as such, bought it, 750g. I've built pumpkin as on mini bricks madness, & now built my own steam engine, it = 7 studs wide, a little wider than normal 4 studs. Other on eBay, Denmark & UK of GB&NI. I've ~=450 1×4's & short of some other bricks. Bought 2nd batch of 600g, still short of some sizes in colours. Check Bricklink.

    O! sorry, done it again, can't be bothered looking at date.
  15. AndrewH7
    Download Idea N°1, (I've N°2 & N°3), see that blue castle & wondering what bricks needed, I see there be less roof at rear than at front, is it steeper there?
  16. AndrewH7
    After reading there is a Lego typewriter I came up with the idea, why not make a game console? So ball swings down on arm to hit bat, & jumps to another arm to bounce away, then some bricks fall down so as to change a No. 0 to a No. 1. Now learn some 1 else also thought of making 1.

    Say I want to build the dream house in Ideas Book No.3. About 1500 by ×2 bricks, mostly not bothered how long bricks =, just want cheaper per stud.
  18. AndrewH7
    I've 1/2 of Ideas Book No. 2, pages 2-9 of 16, made all the animals on page 9 apart from 1 small dog. Made some of the trains. Written about each, what bricks used. Can you tell me what is behind the lion's back legs? Guess a 2×4 bracket, but that can't be. Yes, is the most complex, I've separate files of each image, from books 1, 2 & 3. Looks as if they added some from No.3 to 32-page version of book No.1.

    I've this garage, lost the door, think it broke. Found I'm short of 1×x red bricks. In Ideas Book 1 & 2, built house with garage attach.

    The 2×2 45° having white cross on green, & tile with 'POLICE' in supplementary set 5154 Decorated Bricks as sold in 1992.
  21. AndrewH7
    I've Ideas Book N°3, guess I drew pencil ticks on it, meaning I've 215 [2×8's], 217 [4×4 corners], 218 [2×4's], 219 [2×3's] &c. to 1×1's.
  22. AndrewH7
    My old Lego has quite a few yellow 2×2 & 4×4 corner, blue 2×3, & white 2×4. I think must have been batch of same bricks. Here, 1972 414 - 30p /9 windows & a door /Red, White In Ideas Book N°3 214/1 [1×6×3] &c. up to /10 [1×2×3 door right]
  23. AndrewH7
    I've set of 7 English & extra GARAGE faded that I guess is from a set. & older 1 no pillars of KIOSK, so looking for instructions.
  24. AndrewH7
    I've the Guarded Inn, as some parts missing I bought part set off eBay. Then made it 2 stud bricks deeper, also tried 6 deeper by no longer having front open. Made wall of 2 panel instead of 4 as still short of unfaded bricks, now bought missing off BrickOwl. Just short of lady's torso now.

    I've been keeping track of prices on lego.com (UK of GB & NI), a few months back they stopped selling for a bit. After that some prices changed: Full 1×1 from 6p to 8p Full 1×2 from 10p to 11p but not all bad news as Slim 1×1 down from 5p to 4p So 1/2 price of full 1's now instead of nearly as much. Which I think is a better way.
