May 26	comment	New ways of connecting levels of multi-story modular buildings I've considered the first option briefly before but the second idea sounds more interesting. I have many spare cheese slopes I can use but I would probably have to use tiles for the majority of the wall.
May 26	comment	New ways of connecting levels of multi-story modular buildings @Joubarc: I don't have enough tiles in the right colour, I can probably get rid of that as it might be too much to ask.
May 13	comment	How many degrees can you flex an arm of a lego minifig? I tried this on a minifigure with the hands cupped like in this example. It's actually possible to swing the arm 360° without the arm bending too noticeably out of it's socket.
Apr 26	comment	Will it be fun to go to Legoland with my family? Please read the meta topic: Should questions about LEGO events, themeparks and other things unrelated to building be allowed?
Apr 21	comment	How do you secure a power function motor to a technic extreme cruiser? It's very difficult to visualise the problem without knowing specifically how the motor and battery pack were installed. Normal (System) Lego bricks are compatible with Technic beams, the studs of a brick are designed to fit into the holes of a Technic beam.
Apr 7	comment	TTF font for Lego bricks Am I right in thinking that you'd like a typeface that displays certain characters such as 'B', '4', or '$' as icons representing different bricks? I think it may be easier to resize images of bricks to fit your labels.
Apr 5	comment	How can I draw a microfigure on paper? Whilst it's not in our sites interest to discuss drafting, I think it can be a very important tool for creative design. I think this is a good question for our site.
Mar 30	comment	Where can I find “hacker” information about the NXT? Good question. You may also be interested in this: Power Functions motor review
Mar 27	comment	Where can I find the LEGO fire dept. logo in high resolution or in vector format @InkBlend: I've updated my answer to include both a vector file and a high resolution image.
Mar 22	comment	What is the best way to preserve a LEGO model after it has been built? It's not necessary, nor is it a particular good idea to apply coating to your LEGO bricks.
Mar 10	comment	Is it possible to build Lego bricks with a makerbot replicator 3D print? I've heard there are limitations to printing layer-by-layer as parts can be very brittle. How do home-made bricks compare to the real thing, is it even a viable option?
Mar 10	comment	What is the most compact way to make a flat six pointed star in LEGO? There's the Hair Decoration, Star with Pin, currently available in two Freinds sets in bright pink and orange. It's only a five point star. Sadly, all the other star pieces that I know seem to have five points.
Mar 6	comment	What are the new elements released via the LEGO Friends sets? +1 Wow, You beat me to it by ten minutes AND did a better job of sorting the parts. However the Pie with filling was released last year.
Feb 28	comment	How should I remove a Hinge Tile, especially in the middle of a plate? @Zhaph-BenDuguid: It's listed under Gear as it's a board game.
Feb 24	comment	Which Duplo bricks have practical uses in System building? That's what I was referring to in the first sentence. I'm looking for uses for other Duplo pieces that aren't necessarily bricks.
Feb 23	comment	Is it possible to buy a bulk of 1000s of basic bricks (mostly 2x4)? @Grandpappy: They're very difficult to find, I managed to grab the only bulk bag by getting there as soon as the store opened. They only do this after dismantling models used for display.
Feb 16	comment	How to find out if an element is out of production It might not be entirely accurate, but it seems the majority of parts found in this search query are discontinued.
Feb 15	comment	Who is (or was) Susan Williams? Related: bricks.stackexchange.com/a/563/132
Feb 14	comment	How can I build a LEGO heart? ♥ You could swap the four cheese slopes (54200) for two 2x1 double-sided slopes (3044) ♥
Feb 9	comment	Bluetooth will not connect Error code: -142016 For such a small problem you shouldn't just buy another NXT, especially if it's the PC or Bluetooth dongle that is causing an error.
