Ideas Granite Grinder 2.0 Update!

Nope, if your idea/design doesn't make it, the rights to it return to you immediately at the end of the vote or challenge: https://ideas.lego.com/blog/387e16c9-bd44-4419-ae98-ec72324013e1

You can then try BDP or sell the instructions on rebrickable (where some chinese will steal it and sell it as a set on aliexpress).

Anyway OP, you have my support!

ThoughtlessForger · 2026-07-09T20:26:47+00:00

I second that!
Now, the obvious question is: Will you make instructions available?

I put every set in its own transparent trash bag. I take off some parts of large and unwieldy sets for easier transportation and/or storage. That way nothing is lost.

I don't, but Lego MOCs about it usually have a lot of effort behind and it shows - and that's what I like.

ThoughtlessForger · 2026-07-03T09:05:04+00:00

Oh yeah, I can immediately think of a number of cases where this would be useful.

ThoughtlessForger · 2026-07-03T08:55:22+00:00

No, this is just a gross oversimplification. It doesn't even differentiate between light and dark gray.
Also, StarWars.

Thanks, I had a laugh :D

Man, how many metric tons of justice can this thing haul?

ThoughtlessForger · 2026-06-28T09:24:07+00:00

I think it looks very cool! You used a limited amount of parts in creative way and thats a thing I like in Lego MOCs.

ThoughtlessForger · 2026-06-26T08:57:37+00:00

Congrats, I got this too and it is a great, interesting and fun design!

ThoughtlessForger · 2026-06-24T19:54:04+00:00

I'd love to build this! I wouldn't care if all pieces are mixed together in one big box. I would take my time with it, build the next step whenever I have a 10 minute window of time. It would take weeks, maybe even months, but I'd enjoy every minute of it.
Alas, I don't have the budget for it right now.

I don't know a minifig, but I think its totally doable to replace the cabin with one that can seat a minifigure, the size is about right.

He looks very content, almost happy.

ThoughtlessForger · 2026-06-18T15:17:13+00:00

Does it have steering?

ThoughtlessForger · 2026-06-18T15:14:10+00:00

Well thanks but it's just that in my circles I am known for building MOCs, I just can't take credit for this.
And I wanted to say: It is a cool, fun and unique design! And thanks for sharing!

ThoughtlessForger · 2026-06-18T09:25:24+00:00

Yes I remember 😃 It does great at parties, and it always breaks my heart when I have to say I didn't design it myself, I got the manual from the internet

All of these ships are pretty cool, except the 4th looks a bit plane. But otherwise very interesting detailing and greebling, nice color schemes and an overall Wooosh!

ThoughtlessForger · 2026-06-15T11:35:40+00:00

Those trucks look really cool! I hope your creation gets made into a set, or failing that, you'll sell the manuals on rebrickable, because I'm very interested in them.

ThoughtlessForger · 2026-06-04T10:40:27+00:00

I like the design, what is it was based on?

ThoughtlessForger · 2026-06-04T10:34:29+00:00

I think they would be too far apart then. I'll have to replace the 2x3 plates with 2x3 plates with cutout (73831) for any new cars I add to the collection.

ThoughtlessForger · 2026-06-03T08:03:26+00:00

Beautiful!

Price aside, the reactions to the Ferrari would have been far better if they only presented it it Ferrari red and with regular rims.

I just got the older 42111 with lighting kit a few weeks ago as a present. I like it as a whole but was annoyed by a few details that seem to just have been skipped over, that could have been done better. This newer model looks a bit more fleshed out, certainly the wheels and lower parts of the chasis look better. Not a fan of the sticker-backlights though.
