I like this! In addition to the brands, maybe we could also have more generic sub-sections, like "sales and deals" or just one to talk about cool parts from all brands, or whatever.

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.

Great, thanks! I just downloaded the update, so I'll play around with it a bit. Thanks again!

Lasse, Is there a way to specifically set the number of cells in the print diagram shown on each page? Setting the number of displayed magnifiers seems a little unusual to me. Thanks!

Is there a way to explicitly specify the size of the magnified area on each page? (I've also got a couple other suggestions for additions to the printing interface, if you're interested.)

We don't know if or when LDD will receive any more parts updates, much less if the Boost parts might be in such an update. Since LDraw parts are primarily created by end users, you could either explore creating them yourself, or check the LDraw parts tracker to see if someone else has made an unofficial part yet. http://www.ldraw.org/library/tracker/

What are the tablet operating system and hardware specs? Be aware that even if you can install it, you'll really need a mouse to effectively use LDD. I've tried it on a couple of Microsoft Surface tablets, and LDD is just not optimized for a touch interface.

Does anyone know what site LDD tries to contact?

Does your model (ldr/mpd) have step statements in it?

That's excellent, thanks! I'd briefly looked at her review, but hadn't scrolled down far enough to see those pictures.

Has anyone come across a review that shows all of the bags, preferably not in a pile?
