Selling used LEGO is definitely legal, at least in most legal systems. One of the most basic property rights involves the right to transfer ownership as long as both parties agree on the terms. Even selling items under copyright (instructions, box art, games, etc) is legal under the first-sale doctrine. I don't see any reason that any of the 3 things that ...

There are quite a few individual sites out there offering that sort of thing, however one of the best I've come across is: The MOC pages on Rebrickable.com This is because the site allows you to catalogue all your parts and then search for other sets and MOCs you can build with your existing collection.

In any case, it does happen regularly at key LEGO events, and in plain sight, as well as on the Internet. Considering LEGO employees (and big bosses) attend these events on a regular basis, if they had a problem with this, they would have said so by now. Obviously, Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen doesn't mind. Of course, it needs to be very clear what you're ...

Given operations like http://www.brickmania.com/ the answer is decidedly yes... as long as you follow certain rules. Among those rules are NEVER use the actual LEGO logo, and refer to the elements as LEGO® elements. A somewhat fuzzier rule is that aside from mentioning that genuine LEGO® elements are contained in the product, your product should not be ...

If the motors are far apart, you could simply connect them both to the same receiver using some extension cables. To the best of my knowledge, there is no problem connecting two motors on the same input of one IR receiver. If you're using Technic motors instead of train motors, as Zhaph said, you'll probably want to have them coupled through a differential ...

By considering a "somehow usual amongst fans" instead of "official" position (see my comment), I have heard some fans who simply "verbed" the acronym MOC, as in, "I MOC'ed for 3 hours straight yesterday". You could probably do the same with LEGO itself, but that would be frowned upon as LEGO is supposed to be used as an adjective and so on. (When I was a ...

Two ideas I can think of, which are not using "tiles" as such, but similarly flat surfaces: Technic beams - holes attached to studs of the lower part of the building, and in some holes (which have to be above tiles), pegs/axles for the upper part to fit into. 1x1 "cheese" slopes - and inverted on the upper part (or use regular inverted 33° slopes), which ...

It's usually 1:40, based on the minifig size. However, keep in mind that a minifig doesn't have the same proportions as a full-size human being, so scaling from real-world to minifig-world is not an exact science. Just have a look at LEGO cars, you'll see that they don't really match real cars.

If its a "my own creation" then if one is still building it or it is still unfinished then one simply refers to it as "work in progress" or a WIP and thats how fans post photos on fansites let others know hows its is going... although i have never seen it used with offical lego sets...there are other loose terms floating about i think they where listed on ...
