Has anyone used these lightmybricks kits for your Lego sets?



https://www.lightmybricks.com

Prices in AUD so half roughly to get £
keep looking at these and similar kits for the Modular sets, but i'd like something programmable ... i.e the street lights come on when it gets dark, the lights in the flats can randomly come on or off as the residents move from room to room ... that sort of thing ...

I've got a couple, and to be honest I'm not too impressed, due to their small size the robustness of the wires is not exactly great and its easy to break them when installing.

For the Modulars I've had much better luck using this https://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/c...
US system, but well supported in UK and a UK plug is available, see your local model railway shop.

F40 sold, no interest in the Last Jedi Millennium Falcon? 75105 is the set number.

I just finished building Benny's Spaceship Spaceship SPACESHIP!!! It was a really fun build and a great dose of nostalgia from the old Classic Space days. There's lots of nice little functions and features too.

Definitely one of my favourite builds from recent times - wish they'd release more like this.

Love the spaceship, a proper fun fantasy build.

Everything feels really stale the moment, the City line literally recycles the same general themes every few years and is rammed full of helicopters, and basically everything else is a movie or TV property. The Lego Movie sets were properly bonkers so looking forward to the sequel.

Thinking about it, there is no space theme, no castle or anything historic etc. I guess AFOLs are where the real money is as we're more likely to see a £400 Star Wars set than something fun/different at the cheaper end.

Anyone interested in a VW Camper and the green Mini?
The camper is built the Mini isn’t. I don’t have a box for either but might have instructions for one if I memory is correct. Easy enough to get online though. No idea on price, would rather sell for cash in Northamptonshire if anyone is interested

Sign up to Brickwatch and add the set to your notifications and they'll let you know when it gets reduced.

I've already ordered my son's Christmas presents doing that, Coast Guard Station down to £50 from £85 on Amazon.

hi all, looking for some help. The mrs wants to make a load of personalised Lego minifigure keyrings as wedding favours but my googl-fu has let me down & I have no idea where I can get the key chain part from I need to insert into the minifigure. Can anybody point me in the right direction or has some for sale?

Thanks Andrew

My first ever real custom building. I have the large train station, so wanting somewhere for passengers to actually go to and seeing as I got £45 of lego for £2 from my work I thought i'd make something unique out of them. Only extra bits were the tiny platform setup that comes with the white train you see in the later pictures.



















This point I was almost done but thought it needed something as a focal point.
So now the station is a small commuter town stop called "the bubble stop" by locals.


The rear enterance to the platform



Right now it is at the end of the line but my whole set up is on my large windowsill and only 2 road times x 8 road tiles





I have a massive loft but then my display is out the way and never visible.

Oh and the sets I made all of this from

Went on a bit of a Lego buying spree yesterday with my Brother, Smyth's had that offer on for £10 off for every £50 you spent, so I picked up the Ninjago Docks and the Ideas Fishing Store. Brother picked up a couple of smaller Star Wars sets he'd been after and we bagged the Star Wars advent calendar each, came out at a cool £402 but was £322 after the discount. Now I need to find space for the two big sets, docks shouldn't be too hard as it'll clip nicely into Ninjago City and I've had the space sat waiting for it since it was announced, but there's no space in my games/lego room for the fishing store, so I'm hoping that my Wife takes a liking to it and lets me find a place for it somewhere else in the house.
