Apr 23	comment	Why are there “unique” characters in many sets? I don't mind getting extra minifigs. I usually break down the parts of the minifig and use the body parts to create different characters.
Apr 15	comment	how to make custom lego signs, newspapers etc. BrickLink has a huge collection of sticker sheets which can be used for inspiration. My answer from a previous question explains how you can obtain decals from existing sticker sheets.
Mar 6	comment	What element modifications are incorporated by the LEGOLAND builders? I remember reading somewhere about how some participially large models (like the LEGOLAND Windsor Dinosour) had steel frames for support.
Feb 28	comment	What is the easiest technique for large builds? I've re-worded your answer because I think you've made some valuable points. Participially about sorting (and stacking bricks) and how a comfortable building environment can help.
Feb 23	comment	Do any programs exist that allow you to build your own LEGO manuals? Are there any LEGO part libraries compatible with Solidworks?
Feb 19	comment	How do I remove orange (rust?) stains from white elements? Does it happen to look anything like this?
Feb 7	comment	How can a sticker be removed? @J.Walker I tried a couple of methods from the other answers to to this question and one of them suggested using a knife.
Feb 5	comment	How to Make a Lego Claw Arm? @J.Walker I've built another model claw that doesn't extend, but it's not as reliable as the extending claw (and requires many, many more pieces). I'll see if I can make any more improvements before I share the design.
Feb 3	comment	Lego Digital Designer Alternatives "And LDD is discontinued so I doubt Lego will make an EV3 update." The DESIGN byME service was discontinued January 2012, but I believe Lego Digital Designer is still being supported.
Jan 30	comment	does Lego make bricks with a stone, brick or concrete block design? Since the brick was produced (some time last year) it can be found almost everywhere, it's already appeared in many official LEGO sets and MOC's and it's getting cheaper over time
Jan 30	comment	does Lego make bricks with a stone, brick or concrete block design? Related: How can I add additional detail to large walls?
Jan 24	comment	Which brands (fictional and non-fictional) have appeared in the Town/City theme? I don't think any of these have been in town/city themes
Jan 19	comment	Will Mindstorms EV3 be backwards compatible? It should be possible to run use some elements from the RCX system by using a converter. See: Can I use RCX sensors and motors with the NXT brick?
Jan 19	comment	What does EV3 stand for? ...and presumably the number 3 comes from the fact it's the successor to NXT 2.0?
Jan 15	comment	What would be a simple trebuchet design at the Minifigure scale? What have you tried? Do you have any specific problems?
Jan 8	comment	Useful machines built with LEGO There are two brilliant brick sorters built by akiyuky, one for standard bricks, and another for Technic axles.
Dec 22	comment	Can't open the page to enter my LEGO Advent Calendar code If this post is from an e-mail you received from LEGO please state so, I've placed the contents of the message in a quote so it doesn't appear to be attributed to you.
Dec 11	comment	Gunner bot programing Please state clearly what problems you have as well as what you have tried.
Nov 30	comment	What are some storage options? Those wall-mounted plastic bins in the second example are actually used in professional LEGO model workshops. They're hard wearing and very easy to use but they can also be very pricey!
Nov 28	comment	Are third party NXT compatible parts safe to use? @LynneaTaylor As far as I'm aware HiTechnic is the only certified manufacturer for Lego NXT Sensor products.
