  For all those who use part recognition applications, I have just discovered
a site (which is not available in application but which is very easy to use)
if it can help you when you want to reference.
You have the scans for the minifigures but also the parts.


https://brickognize.com/

There are almost all the items referenced and the creator is really very nice.

Yes - note also it's implemented in BrickStore for 6 month / a year...
You can create your list of parts with optical recognition (at least on parts
you've difficulties to find), it's very convenient!

  Hi everyone.

One of the guidelines for Series 5, under "Building Instructions", says
"Don’t build more than thirty studs in any direction unless it’s one full
element". I believe this used to be 12 studs, and the corresponding image
still says 12 studs. I just want to make sure that 30 studs is correct?

Thank you.

Hi,

Indeed, they changed it to “thirty” in the text.  I don’t remember it being mentioned
during the webinar 🤔
Maybe it’s to allow us to do things like place tiles on a baseplate in less than
150 steps


Anyway, remember that those are guidelines, they are not applied too strictly
(for instance, with the previous value of 12, BL was okay if you were over 12
studs if you had a good reason).
Also, the instructions will be re-made by professionals.  You need to make instructions
so that:
  — they serve as a base,
  — they allow BrickLink and YOU to check if your model is buildable.
So the guidelines are here to make the instructions clear and easy to follow
and to easily check your model.

For this guideline, they just want each step to be manageable and that you don’t
put a lot of parts here and there on the build.  If you go over 12 (even more
with 30), the reader may miss a part or three.
For instance, it should be okay to place 4x Tile 1x8 on the border of a baseplate
(even if it’s over 30 studs!). But it won’t be okay to place 40 tiles of different
colours and sizes and shapes in all the corners of a baseplate, even if it’s
in a zone below 12x12.

Keep that in mind and your submission will be okay

Wow, I gotta tell ya, I'm really impressed with the design of the Eye. What
do we think is going on with the two pillars on the sides? It looks like one
solid piece with different colors injected. I can't find any seams.

Something like this

Very cool. My kids are never going to understand the frustration of trying to
be creative with the bricks we had access to in the early 1980's. All these
1x5 plates that are out now? I used to have to take a coping saw to my 1x6's.

My LEGO room is saying… well, I don’t know exactly, something like “mmmhhffhhmmfff!”,
its voice is muffled, like it’s coming from behind a lot of plastic….

Also, it’s Barad-Dûr

Well, thanks to your message, I know how to put that accent on letters

I have seen some old wooden LEGO but I haven't seen this. It seems similar
to the unpainted one. But it's a very low quality image provided in the catalog.

  Hello everyone,

I collect movie and TV sets as well as vintage Lego products from the 30s, 40s
and 50s.
The first Lego product was a yo-yo and is very hard to get.
But maybe someone knows their way around: Is the yo-yo in the photo from Lego?
I can't find 100% information at miniland.nl or on google.

Kind regards,
Daniel
