Hi, guys. I'm Pholvandir from Idaho. I've been out of the LEGO scene for a while, but my favorite line is LEGO Architecture. I've waited years for LEGO to produce an official United States Supreme Court model, and recently decided to take matters into my own hands. (You can check out my LEGO Ideas page for this build here: United States Supreme Court Building.) This is what made me into an official AFOL!

Hi everyone, I'm a lifetime fan of LEGO that after many years decided to switch from observer to contributor and created his account here. To share some of my background, I've been playing with LEGO bricks since infancy with several hiatuses. In past I've also experimented with CAD, but in the last couple of years I've switched to real bricks again. From many different subjects that one can focus on my top are buildings and vehicles of any kind - era, purpose, scale. See you around, Aellaron

Hello I guess as my first ever post on this forum, not 100% sure this is the right spot for this kind of post, but I should introduce myself, I am a 34 year old from Australia, who has always had a passion for Lego but could never really afford it when I was a kid. But now having a 3 and 4 year old boy of my own who are completely obsessed with Lego, i have recently rediscovered my love of this simple toy. I have gone from building mostly sets, to creating my own designs. My aim is to make every design I do as something that my boys would love to play with so playability to me is everything. Anyway that's enough of that, I am wanting to show off one of my first designs, I really enjoy a challenge and I definitely had one with this project. I am a Sci-fi nerd and love Star Trek, in particular everything Klingon so I was very disappointed that Lego never got the star trek licence. I am currently working on building this Bird of Prey, at this stage I have only made the cockpit and neck, but have the parts for the wing and disruptor ordered. I am really looking forward to seeing how this Stud.io design that I have spent so many hours on turn into a real product. My main concerns for the build is how strong the wing hinge attachment is as there is quite a lot of weight on them. But I will find out in the next week or so when all my parts arrive and I can trial it. Hope you all find it interesting, I believe it turned out pretty good, with a few play features included, such as the dining hall, opening cockpit, adjustable wings and shooting disruptors. Model Details (according to Stud.io) 4335 pieces 74cm wide, 68cm long. 4.3kg I wanted to add more pics but it seems I can only upload 1 due to the size. See if I can work around this. Also if you are interested, I currently have a Lego Ideas set in the support stage. Its a minifigure scale SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket, again showing my love for all things space related. any support will be greatly appreciated. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/2a60e3c2-c86f-4154-8be3-6fb148943362/statistics I am very interested to hear what you all have to say about my Bird of Prey, any issues you see or possible problems I will have turning this into a real model. Thank you very much for reading this. :) Any ideas on how to post more pictures? I am not that tech savy. Thanks Ok I made a Flickr account to show some of the other photos. I have also ordered custom Klingon minifigures and Batleths to hang in the dining hall. https://www.flickr.com/photos/192336319@N06/

Hey, my name is archi97d and I just registered after I heard a bit from eurobricks in my german home community IDS (Imperium der Steine) and were also looking for a international community to share my creations. I play with Lego since I was 5 and don't think I will stop until I become 100 and are than to old for Lego :D I usually build my MOCs with the LDD and have a special love for sacrale buildings, like churches and Microscale building. In "real" I collect Star Wars Minifigures and modells and architecture. kind regards archi97d

Well hi there. My name is InvisibleTimmy, and I am a TFOL from the US. My main interests are Space and the new Wizarding World line. I especially like Classic Space and Blacktron I. My favorite set is probably the Galaxy Explorer. I can be found on Flickr and BriXtar as InvisibleTimmy, and I am a bronze rated Brickset reviewer under the name Mr. Thrawn. So... yeah... I guess that’s it.

Hi everyone My names Richard but I go by legoginge on Instagram (mainly because I’m ginger). Please feel free to give me a follow! I decided to join Eurobricks while sitting at the evening entertainment on the last night of the 14th event in Billund. I attended with Nate Dias as a guest and loved it so much I thought I’d sign up! In terms of LEGO, I like most themes with my favourite being bespoke “one off” sets that look great as display pieces. I’m currently trying to build my largest ever MOC based on a Japenese theme. Outside of LEGO I’m a Science Teacher for 11-16 year olds. I look forward to engaging with as many of you as possible! Cheers Richard

Hi There, Eurobricks community, My name is, well, you can call me Brick Pilgrim or just Pilgrim for short. I joined a couple days ago and have had a look 'round. However, this is my first post in the forum. I have many hobbies (which is probably why I don't get around to doing much in any of them): Lego Reading Writting Music (Performance and Composing) Watching YouTube (okay, I'm not sure that's a hobby, but I do enjoy watching videos with a critical mind especially documentaries and movies) and many more I've considered narrowing them down a bit and Lego is at the top of my list so we'll see if I can finally come out of the mini-dark ages I've been slipping into every once and a while. Well that's about it. Happy building everyone!

Hi Everyone, Finally decided to become a member. Hoping that inspiration and creativeness will rub off on me My interests are mainly in City and Collectible minifigures which I like to let come to life in Brickfilms. Actually just started (my first (Not so) Scary Mary) so still a lot to learn.. Hope to be able to become an active member of the community

Hello Everyone, My name is Arijit and I am from India. I am 33 years old and started my journey into the world of Lego only last year. Yes, I know it is very late to get started with Lego. But as the saying goes better late than never. I have been lurking around this community since more than 6 months now and have been reading the reviews of various Technic Sets. I have also been following the Technic MOC threads as well and they have been inspiring me to build some MOCs of my own. I finally decided to join this community yesterday and am looking forward to learn many new tricks from all the experienced folks in here. I own a few Lego Technic sets - 42008, 42024, 42052, 42054, 42055 (yet to start building), 42060 (my first technic set), 42062, 42064, 42065 (my only RC set), 42066. I think I have got quite a few sets and they should be good enough to jump into MOCing. I do know I still miss some vital parts like differentials and suspensions but do plan to buy few 2018 sets as their prices fall to meet the gap. Beyond Lego Technic, I also like the StarWars series sets and some of the Creator sets but do not own any currently. I am also into photography: https://500px.com/arijitdas

Hi everyone, My name is Venefic and this is one of my first posts to the Eurobricks forum! I am very excited to finally be part of this community and look forward to exploring all pathways in this large group. Below is some information about me. Location: Australia Favourite LEGO theme: Hard to say, I think Creator and Architecture are quite impressive. But I have to say that the LEGO Ninjago Movie also had some impressive sets. Favourite Set: This is always changing as new sets comes out. One highlight has been the 10243 Parisian Restaurant. First Set: 4685 Fork Lift Duplo set. Brickset Account: https://brickset.com/profile/Brick-With-Knobs Favourite looking theme for 2018: Building Bigger Thinking and the Series 18 Minifigures. I look forward to meeting many of you around the forums! Venefic

Hello Eurobrick, My real name is Yann, 30, currently living in France, southwest of Toulouse, and working indirectly for a great aircraft manufacturer there. It’s a great pleasure to introduce myself after years being just a guest on this forum. I practice Lego as a hobby since… well 25 years now, my favourite theme is the technic, so I will essentially post in the LEGO Technic, Mindstorms & Model Team forum. I’m clearly not a great fan of the official Lego sets, I really prefer built my own thing. Strange and ugly vehicles. I love strange and ugly vehicle. Some of you may already have seen some of my MOC on : Flickr (TheSuperkoala) Youtube (Yann Thesuperkoala). Talk to you later J

Hello, dearest people of Europe and other parts of the Universe. You can call me Lyonel. Tall, glasses, quite colorblind, learning English by myself, and other things that are irrelevant to our subject matter. Well, I'm not too good at starting things. I'd rather listen (or read) others patiently and jump in when the time is right. So let's do something similar here for a change... You ask me some simple questions about me and my plastic construction toy preferences, and I will do my best to answer in short and truthful fashion. Please consider that I'm what could be called a Teen Fan of LEGO, whose most recent dark period was from 2015 to March of the current year (and I would still get CMFs in that time). Also, I am from Venezuela, as my profile states, and we as a country are economically limited as for buying expensive Danish ABS on a regular basis. The major part of my collection is from round 2012, and a large number of it are CMFs. My latest purchase was a Series 12 in July of past year. To get my topic's rather scandalous title out of the way, it alludes to the fact that the near entirety of construction toy products round my home are those infamous clone brands, of which the one with an S as logo we seem to get the most. So, to avoid getting tediously long, I'll leave the rest of my background to your requests. So come on! Bring on the friendly interrogation! -
Hi, some of you might already know me from other platforms and flickr, but although I've been registered also here for a few years already, I have never introduced myself properly. My name is Johannes, I'm 24 years old and live near Würzburg, in the middle of Germany. I study Computer Science / eCommerce and work at an advertising agency as web developer. I rediscovered LEGO for me about 3 years ago. First I only built digitally with the LDD and was quite active on CUUSOO (what is LEGO Ideas today). My favourite themes to build were especially Star Wars and aircrafts like the K-Wing Starfighter or a Curtiss NC-4 seaplane. This hasn't changed too much, even if my mocs are more diverse today and I (hopefully) improved my building skills a bit. Because of the Star Wars and licensed themes in focus the German forum Imperium der Steine (IdS) became my main platform. I soon got the role of a moderator there and now I'm what is called Root Admin here (so the second after IdS founder Gamorreaner). Together with the former IdS ambassador rolli and some others I also publish the forum's magazine IdS-Post which appears every few months. A highlight last year was winning the biggest competition on IdS, the IdS MOC Olympics. This is a round-based competition about Star Wars with an international jury. My half-final entry was an U-Wing and the final one was a Liberator Class Starfighter from Star Wars: The Old Republic. Both can fold their wings into different positions. I really enjoyed taking part in the ongoing project of Harry's magical journey last year. Building the scenes of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was much fun and very exciting (even if also a bit stressful). You can see all vignettes of this project in our flickr group. The fantastic Jared is currently uploading a scene of The Deathly Hallows each day. To come to an end here's an overview of the mocs I built in 2016. You can find detail shots of the mocs in my flickr stream. In the future I wanna get more active here on Eurobricks and I'm looking forward to discuss with you :) Best, Johannes / Vaionaut

Hello, my name is Ryan. I'm also known as 8-Bit Ramen. I'm a pretty crazy dude, and I do way too many things other than Lego... My two favorite Lego themes are Star Wars and Harry Potter. I also really like the Marvel themes, even though I only have a few of it's sets. I also like Steven Universe, which I think Lego should make sets of, and Gravity Falls. My favorite video game is Assassin's Creed Revelations, even though I grew up on Mario and Pokemon. My favorite band is Gorillaz, and if you ever see me, I'll most likely be playing my ukulele. I was kind of poor as a young child (don't pity me) so I didn't really get many Lego sets, and when I did, they were gifts or hand me downs.. But when I was Twelve I decided I would get back into collecting Lego, and it's still one of my passions. My favorite Lego Youtuber is just2good. Speaking of, some of my social media and links will be down below. I can't post a picture of my SigFig (or maybe I can and I'm just a noob...), but he's a guy in a Slytherin uniform and has a blue lightsaber. His name is just tiny Ryan or tiny 8-Bit Ramen. Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/Ryanrocksmith Twitter: https://twitter.com/8Bit_Ramen Since it's that time of year, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kind Kwanzaa, and everywhere in between!

Hello, Eurobricks! I'm Nth_Brick, and I guess EB's newest member (at least, until the next guy...). Anyway, I suppose I'm a bit of a lurker as I've been visiting this website for a long time, but just never took the time to make an actual account. Nonetheless, I always enjoyed looking at the MOCs here, following the Shadows of Nar Eurbrikka RPG and, to a lesser extent, Guilds of Historica, and I finally decided to create an account. A little bit about myself might be in order, I guess. I've been into LEGO pretty much my entire life (and, with any luck, will never really have any so-called "Dark Ages"). I haven't done much MOCing recently, but I do build something every now and again and regularly add pieces to my collection. (Brickset currently estimates my total part count at around ~20,000 pieces, and I would guess that I have over 200 minifigs.) My two favorite themes are Star Wars and Winter Village (weird, I know), but if a set is cool, the theme doesn't matter much. Similarly, if a set is lame, I still don't care what theme it's from. Coincidentally, I actually made this account in part for the purpose of commenting on the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer... Yeah, I don't have many other online accounts. But, yeah, given all the lurking I've done, I've seen how a great a LEGO fan community there is here (as well as a lot of really talented builders), and I look forward to being a part of it. Maybe I'll even post a couple of MOCs here, too. (Though don't count on great photo quality - my camera is awful and I don't care to invest in another.) - Nth_Brick (temporary signature )

Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself to the forums. I have been lurking here for a while after reading a few reviews and build techniques so I thought I would sign up. I am from Nova Scotia Canada (hopefully I can meet a few more East Coasters on here) and just last year started buying and collecting Lego again after a little over a decade of "dark ages". I am pretty much interested in all Lego, not huge into Technic and am looking to buy my first train set before summer. That's about it, I just recently bought my friends entire childhood collection of Lego for a good deal and am currently working on my only Technic set, the Air Claw (8868) so that is what I am working on now, as well as a Castle MOC.

Hello fellow AFOL. I finally completed my first Lego comic short story and I'd really like to read your opinion It is just a little test, a sort of introduction (or "pilot episode", if you prefer ) to a story series I'm currently writing, named " A Bountiful Galaxy" Even though you will see a couple of Minifigures from the Star Wars theme this is not a Star Wars story. It' set in another fictional universe I created for this story series. So I posted here for all the Lego Sci-Fi fans. Anyway here the story. Part 1 (Pages one and two) Part 2 (Pages there, four and five) This is truly my first ever comic story and I'm back to the Lego universe after an absence nearly 10 years old long , so any comment, feedback, suggestion etc will be very appreciated. Even "negative" ones. It will motivate me in going ahead with these projects. Thank you very much for your time. I hope you'll like this little story. I made sure the pics are in very high resolution so you should be able to appreciate the Minifigures' and sets' details EDIT: I do realize the title is, well, a very "unsuccessful" one. It was intended to be a wordplay on the expression "getting on my nerves" and a line said by the comic's main character. However I realize out of context has little meaning Anyway on the technical aspect: I'm still experimenting with the software (it's Comic Life 3 for the records) and while certain effects can be easily added to the photos others, like good quality energy weapons effects for example, are still difficult to add for me. I'm working on them though. Thank you for reading

Hello wonderful LEGO people, I'm a 20-year old student from the Netherlands and have been playing with LEGO for as long as I can remember. However, as I grew older, my interest grew less and less and the people I used to play and build with stopped doing so. The love still remained, and I still can't walk by a toy store without scanning for LEGO. However, when I moved into my own appartment, I took my collection with me (now also bolstered by one of my parent's old collections), and the spark of ignited again (somewhat). Lately, I've seen pictures of the Star Destroyer Tyrant, which sparked my inspiration like mad. The desire to pool my entire collection into one big build surfaced again, and I'm trying to get ideas for a space ship to build. However, looking at my OC's, I realized that I'm not a good enough builder to pull something off even remotely close (my latest cruiser fresh in mind, where I ran out of hull parts and inspiration half-way...). What I'm asking for mostly is advice on how to go forward. I really want to become a better builder, but seeing the progress I made over my youth doesn't bode well for any progress if I just keep stumbling on. What can I do to improve? Are there good articles to read? Video's to watch? Building exercises to do? Builds to study and draw inspiration from? (And is this even the right place to ask?) A note on my collection might also be appropriate: I've mostly collected medieval/fantasy themes and space/science-fiction themes, but also have a healthy amount of standard building bricks. Thank you for bearing through my ramblings and any advice you might be able to give! Arcturus24 -
Hey everyone! I'm Anna, Irish female AFOL just out of the Dark Ages and back into LEGO collecting. I'm 19 now, and had been collecting LEGO obsessively from about 2005 to 2011, and just got back into the hobby this year. I'm mainly interested in LEGO Town - City and a bit of Creator, my first modular is on the way - and Star Wars, and these take up the majority of my collection. I'm also pretty interested in bits and pieces - no pun intended - of other themes, for example DC Superheroes because I am a big fan, or the collectable minifigs. I've never been particularly good at making MOCs, but my current aim is to take these boxes of stashed bricks out and create a meaningful town for my minifigs. I'm very much pleased to meet all of you, thanks for having me! I'm sure I'll have a great time amongst you all here on the forums. Everyone here seems lovely and helpful - I can finally stop lurking now and actually interact with you guys, woo! Many thanks! - AnnaBuildsLego

Hello Eurobricks Member! Looks like I forgot to introduce myself, Sorry. I'm Kamal From Jakarta, Indonesia. My main LEGO interest is Technic. I started playing LEGO from my first LEGO Set, LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 from my father and after a few years from that, my father bought me LEGO set again, for now a LEGO Technic set, it just influenced me to collect more Technic set. I actually Digital LEGO Builder. I started to play LEGO in Digital, because I just have many Technic sets (as I like it), so if I want to make creations with ‘Bricks’ I should use digital LEGO building apps or nothing. You can see my real life sets collection here and you can see my newest digital creations in My flickr. Thanks for reading. Hope to find a lot of knowledge and inspiration here. As you can see, I am not English native so please excuse me if I make some grammar mistakes. I will try to do my best.

I don't know how long I have been here! I can't remember what I did so many years ago do deserve this! All I can remember is my name - Sparhawk... I do know they want something from me, they think I know something and keeping me here will gain them some leverage - but with who and why, I just don't remember. Years of torture have robbed me of my memory, but not my wits. I will leave this place, I will remember my past, but for now I bide my time - looking for the right moment... image by Sparhawk-1, on Flickr Oh great, I guess it time for another session in the courtyard of pain... I don't know why they keep bothering, I DON'T REMEMBER... I have been leaving some smeared food grease around my wrists, hoping that the rats might just take me out of my misery... image by Sparhawk-1, on Flickr Hmm, I guess today I just hang, but that poor soul... I don't remember when all three of them were here at once, it must be pretty important... and they already have the cauldron under him, I guess all that is left is for me to watch what happens... "You better talk Louis, this is you last chance. Either you tell us where you hid it or in the cauldron you go... " - "I will not submit to you buffoons and you will never find any of... you will never!!" - "ok, Louis, have it your way" image by Sparhawk-1, on Flickr "light 'em up, let's see if you will be a bit more talkative after a warm bath... ha ha ha!!" - What the devil, what is that behind me... it's nibbling at my wrists... oh, maybe I will finally be free of this world and won't have to watch that poor man get cooked alive... image by Sparhawk-1, on Flickr Whaat just happened, oh my... the rat must have eaten through the bindings, am I finally free!? "AAAAaaaaa... AAAaaa...." I can't let that man suffer, maybe he has a way off this place... image by Sparhawk-1, on Flickr Let me get you out of there... image by Sparhawk-1, on Flickr "Oh... thank you, I am Lois de Bastion, I was on a very important mission when I was captured. I don't think I am going to make it, I feel the life seeping out of me. Please, I implore you to help me fulfill my mission. I have a ship waiting for me, the Crabby Cyclopse, I purchased it before I set out to get the final piece of the puzzle. Its is crewed by a reputable band of mercenaries - the best part is, they have never met me directly, just tell them you are me and show them the token I hid in my helmet... and now to the mission - listen very carefully..." image by Sparhawk-1, on Flickr The dying Spaniard's story was hard to believe, but why lie on one's death bed... I guess I will see about it's merits when I get out of here... I don his clothes and cutlass ---- and now to find that ship - Crabby Cyclopse, what a name... This is literally my first MOC, I have never done one... I will take all constructive criticism, though a lot of the issues are probably because I lack the parts (plus that part about never doing it before :) )

Hello everyone! My name is Chris, and I am a lifelong Lego fan from West Sussex in the UK. On the desk in front of me, I have a Volkswagen T1 Camper, modified Cuusoo DeLorean (with a number of MOC props from the Back to the Future films, of which I am a big fan), and a minifig-scale MOC VW camper with two BTTF Libyan terrorists! I look forward to sharing my photos of those MOCs with you, and asking for a little advice with a pet project I have been struggling with for a few months. I'm an occasional user of a few other Lego sites, online communities and tools. I subscribe to /r/Lego on Reddit for inspiration, use LDD to build my models, and head over to BrickLink and Brick Owl to buy the pieces I need to assemble them from bricks, not bits! I look forward to being a part of this community too.

Hello, my name is Michael Jurist (sometimes known as "LASF" or "LegoAndStickfigs"). I create brickfilms or "brick flicks", as I've seen them called here, on my YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/legoandstickfigs). I've been doing so since 2010! I literally just made my account 5 minutes ago. I'm still learning how to navigate around the site, so any tips would be helpful. Thanks! Michael
