It would be really nice if there was a list we could easily search. I just found out on the Brickwith Discord today that the 2x2 hinge brick top (6134) disappeared from the Brickwith list in the last day or so. It would be nice to be able to check if parts are protected, or if maybe something else is going on. (Yes, I'm lazy and haven't read all of the case information that has been presented here so far.)

I'd love to see something with the ease-of-use of LDD (that even very young children can learn to use), with the instruction-generation and rendering of Studio.

Thank you. I'm so sorry for how LEGO treated you and so many other long-standing pillars of our AFOL community.

The alt-bricks of today are much different than the clone brands that we've been familiar with for years. Are you familiar with Jang? In my opinion he's the best building-brick reviewer out there (due in no small part to being completely independent). If you've got some time, I encourage you to check out some of the videos posted here: https://www.youtube.com/@JANGsOtherBricks He also livestreams many of his builds on Twitch, so you can even see what the build process is like, if you're interested in that. It's dangerous, though. Once you realize the actual value, quality, and build experience that are out there for a fraction of the price that LEGO asks for, your worldview may never recover...

Hello mods, Would someone please remove me from the LEGO Ambassadors group? My club isn't recognized any more. Please PM me if you need more details. Thank you.

I don't check Eurobricks as often as I did in the past, but I was glad to see the poll announcement on the main page. I voted for option 2. History: I was a LEGO purist for more than 40 years of my building journey. In the last couple of years my brand loyalty has been weakening for a variety of reasons. Fast-forward to December 2024, when I saw a review by Jang of a FunWhole product. The lights really caught my attention. In April of 2025 I bought my first FunWhole set, and was really pleasantly surprised. I was talking to one of my kids the other day and realized I'm not sure if I've built any LEGO sets in 2026. Instead, my family has given me Lumibricks (I'm so glad they changed their name!) sets for my birthday, Father's Day, etc., and just recently I placed and received my first order from Brickwith.com. (Also, people in my LEGO club are now wondering if I've been replaced with an alien pod person or something...) As LEGO continues to price more and more people out of the market, I think it's very important to have a place where the brick-building hobby can be celebrated, regardless of brand. (Edit: Hmm. I need to figure out how to remove the "Ambassador" image from my profile, because we're not recognized any more either.)

LDview has been around for a long time, and is still an amazing rendering option. And yes, I too wish we could get basic screenshots in Studio done with the instructions renderer.

Can you open the file in a text editor, and do a find/replace on the design id of the round 1x1 plate?

Speaking as someone who is subscribed to this thread, I appreciate it when you post updates here.

Some of the pieces shown in the image as being transparent have no record of actually being produced in transparent colors, which is what lead me to believe it's a render.

Very nice model. It's a render, correct?

Has anyone found where this set is/was available in the US?

@Superkalle Thanks for all of your work over the years!

I found it in LDD 4.3.11. Search for 28145 in Extended mode. Please be aware that it does not appear you can multi-color it, so the glasses will be the same color as the hair, and there is no eye print on the glasses.

My suggestion is to just learn to live with Extended. The "normal" mode isn't actually accurate for many pieces anyway.
