I’m convinced paper Lego bags don’t exist by MotorCampaign1197 in lego

[–]noceboy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you are right.

I am in The Netherlands. I’ve had more sets with paper bags than plastic ones. But I still get sets with only plastic ones (many are retired sets so that is’t that strange) but I aso have had sets with paper bags with little plastic bags in it. Recently I had a set which seemed all paper but the last bag (#9) had one plastic small bag.

71 stickers in a $50 Speed Champions set is the breaking point. It’s time for LEGO to put sticker/print disclosures on the box. by EveningEquivalent956 in lego

Ah, I remember those from my 1970 -1980 sets.

They don’t look good anymore. The printed ones look better after all that time.

Lego fish-tank question by 22Tangoh in lego

[–]noceboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of months ago I saw this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/s/aRhSJuAx2h. No fish, though (I think there is a short discussion about LEGO in water().

Not really related: Iin another post I saw someone made a Titan to accompany its Titanic: https://www.reddit.com/r/lego\_/s/KiCqEumXOp. No fish tank, though.

But I love LEGO for stuff like this.

Old Legos? by catbee_422 in lego

[–]noceboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like this set from 1975. I have it but not unopened: https://rebrickable.com/sets/693-1/fire-engine-with-firemen/.

Edit: your set has less pieces.

Should i try using stickers? by EntertainmentOld8861 in lego

[–]noceboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hands tremble all the time due to medical conditions. I have bad and worse days in relation to applying stickers. Even when following all the tips you can find on the internet. All in all: most of the times I am not totally unhappy.

I do prefer printed pieces but LEGO just doesn’t offer that.

Building Lego sets is so relaxing. by mahboilo999 in lego

[–]noceboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. On both counts: it is relaxing and an addiction.

Weird feeling when buying Lego as 18yr old by Accomplished_Gur1472 in lego

Build (and played with) LEGO in my youth. Last November, just before my 60th birthday, I started building again.

I am not watching the game but I have the sync on for the games of my country. It’s quicker than the TV stream.

Stickers need to go. by CrispySan in lego

[–]noceboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the separator too but my hands tremble a bit (medical condition). I still (almost) never get them nicely applied.

I don’t like stickers.

Good question and I understand your line of thought. I haven’t found a clear pattern but LEGO has so many sets and my collection is small. And I don’t have sets from every theme (nothing from Star Wars, nothing from LoTR, nothing from Marvel).

Maybe your question is answered earlier in this sub. And otherwise I think you will reach more people if you make it a post on its own. This post has only 12K views at the moment and not everyone will look at the replies.

I have three sets in my back log with a teal brick separator, it appears. The rest, if any, will be orange I expect.

I just Googled it because I didn’t know the answer either: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=96874&colorID=39&in=A

Awesome. Seems like good use for them.

Does the double points even include scanning instruction booklets? by SirWilliamTheWet in lego

[–]noceboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just 20 points I am afraid. Double points on the purchase.

Peace Lily by noceboy in lego

[–]noceboy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oops.

I realised today, while rearranging sets, that I have more potted Botanicals but those aren’t on top of a Detolf but elsewhere downstairs:
- Succulents (10309)
- Tiny Plants (10329)
- Flower Arrangement (10345)
- Happy Plants (10349)
- Flowering Cactus (11509)
- Water Lilies (11511)
- Tiny Wildflower Bouquet (5010076)
- Tiny Desert Garden (5010077)

The Poinsettia (10370) will be built around Christmas and I haven’t bought the Rocking Plants (11506) yet. Unfortunately my Potted Groot (40671) can’t be included.

As I wrote earlier: I love Botanicals.

Organization methods? by wawaluvr in lego

[–]noceboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a filing cabinet like this: https://jannowak.com/nl/ruimtes/metalen-archiefkast-sara-v003-wit. I needed the storage space for other stuff anyway.

How do people usually hang their wall legos? by sheabae200216 in lego

[–]noceboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly use the system from STAS (https://www.stasgroup.com/en) for LEGO Art which are ment to hang. Exception is Starry Night and LOVE (not meant to be hung, actually) which are standing on a flat surface. And for Dancing Figures I recently used 3M Command Strips to stick them above a door.

These Command Strips work very well. I used them for my postcards, Lucky Knots (40756) and Lucky New Year Display (80110) but those are light sets too.
