LEGO

Where do you source parts for your Mech MOCs? Specifically, the large joint pieces. I made MOCs from two copies of the Robot Mining Mech 3-in-1 set, but I don't want to take my builds apart for my next one.

I'm torn between wanting to set up a local LEGO group to meet people near me who love LEGOs and my social anxiety telling me that I'd need to meet people in person if I did this.

I really want to have more in person friends. (Current count is zero.) However, the mere thought of meeting new people in person makes my anxiety skyrocket.

Has anyone set up local LEGO groups? What do you do? How successful were said local groups?

The first of my Father's Day builds

I created a little shelf-city over time that is connected with a monorail line.

"For hundreds of years, the Aurumium mountain has been mined under Zamorah. Early on, they broke open a rock room and moved the river so that it went through the mountain instead of around the mountain. This was done to facilitate transport to and from Zamorah. Over time, a port with an extension of the city was built in the rock space below the city. The only way to enter Zamorah is from the river and the elevator that goes up to the city. "

I thought the use of those yellow pieces from the Aquazone theme was really cool.

Saw this on eurobricks and thought it was really cool, the old-school Art Deco style details are really on point.

I’m not really a fan of the movie, but it looks nice. Thoughts?

Mine is either the 31140 Magical Unicorn or 31131 Downtown Noodle Shop. My unicorn set is currently built in the seahorse model because I love how stupid it looks. ❤️

I have Rivendell waiting to be built when I find room!

surely they're not in the cardboard packaging yet
