My issue is a lighting issue. I get too many shadows and glare from my current setup.

The article that David posted looks like it should help me out! A light box! cool.

Thanks!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thoughts on the app:
Meh. Maybe ok for kids who just got a smartphone or similar device. I don’t see an angle where there would be long-lasting appeal.

Design:
Cool colors and stories are present in the builds! The ghosty aspects are fun. I had several…Read more

If I open or have opened a set, it’s staying in the collection. If I’m not displaying a set (or planning to), I’ll let my daughter play with it. Once she’s done, I’ll part down everything for my personal part library.

Furthermore, I suspect that the…Read more

I don’t have any classic stuff from my childhood. Everything I own is circa 2014 or later (mostly 2017-2020). Eventually, I’ll let my kid play with the bigger sets (which means they will be picked apart and probably never 100% complete again). My kid’s…Read more

Adam – I sent you a message about what’s going up for sale.

My collection is getting large and it might be time to part with some of my modular buildings and/or larger sets.

I’ve never sold used Lego. Can someone give me some pointers? What is proper etiquette for selling old sets? How much sorting of the parts is recommended? Can anyone link me to a good guide for this sort of thing?…Read more

I’ll do some research regarding the selling of used sets. It would be fun to meet some LUG members in person. Maybe I’ll post some sets for sale on this site soon. I promise good prices!

I would like to attend a LUG meeting sometime. My work schedule may get in the way of this, however. I’m unable to…Read more

I recently have come to terms with the fact that I love Lego, much as I did as a child (I’m now 35). My wife is putting up the hobby so far.

I find it to be peaceful and somewhat therapeutic to snap the sets together. Using lego really seems to help with my anxiety/depression issues. Building the sets helps to keep my…Read more
