Legos were the thing that united all of my toys as a child; thanks to legos, I managed to incorporate GI Joes, Transformers, hot wheels, Gobots, micromachines, etc, etc into one gigantic massive all-inclusive toystravaganza. My parents still have never forgiven me for that particular mess.

I've been trying to build Mies' Barcelona Pavillion but I'm stymied by the lack of decent windows in the default brick set.

― Hurting 2, Monday, 9 July 2007 13:22 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah to place four of the stud-on-sides pieces to provide a good anchor for those two side-mounted flat pieces you need to stagger the vertical pattern a little

oh i forgot about the structure on the left, doh
― Two Meter Peter (Ste), Tuesday, 7 July 2020 22:00 (three years ago) link
lol i got too focused on how to avoid that floating grid piece
Ok so I forked out the £2, seems only one side has that vertical tile structure - which I didn't figure on at all. Makes things a lot easier.
― Two Meter Peter (Ste), Tuesday, 7 July 2020 22:16 (three years ago) link
(although looking at the top, I really should have got that)
I shouldn't try lego before bed
― Two Meter Peter (Ste), Tuesday, 7 July 2020 22:18 (three years ago) link
Wow. I think this is the most engaged anyone has ever been with a question I've asked on ILE/ILM!
I also stumped up the £2 and ordered most of the pieces for around £9.50 - there were a few pieces that didn't appear on the Lego website but its a present for someone with a child who has Lego so I am hoping that they have some pieces they can improvise with.
Again, thanks.

Cool, and somehow I got the price right even though I couldn't even build the flaming thing myself!
At least I know what I'll be attempting to build in Minecraft this weekend.
― Two Meter Peter (Ste), Tuesday, 7 July 2020 22:50 (three years ago) link
you may think I'm getting too obsessed with this cool building, I'll only start worrying if I attempt to build the thing out of my mashed potatoes and garden fencing.
― Two Meter Peter (Ste), Tuesday, 7 July 2020 22:54 (three years ago) link
here's how I did it:

― avellano medio inglés (f. hazel), Wednesday, 8 July 2020 02:05 (three years ago) link
Yep.
I used a 2x2 corner tile around the base of the laundry tower, rather than a 1x2 and a 1x1. Saved me about 10p. 8)

Where's good in the UK for buying Lego?
Wanted to buy this as a present but Lego aren't shipping to the UK at the moment, and it is double everywhere I have looked so far.

i'd offer to pop to westfield's lego shop for you and have a look (given it's about 10 minutes away) but i guess they're non-essential and closed.
― koogs, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 15:25 (three years ago) link
Ha!
Yes, non-essential in the scheme of things.
