Jan 10	comment	Minifig rotatable legs on a stick - what is this? @tombull89: The part can't be older then 2004, since it's copyrighted in 2003 that might narrow things down a bit.
Jan 10	comment	How do I build a curved wall? There are many ways to make a curved wall. The smallest full circle shaped wall can be made using 84 1x2 Bricks. For this scale you may require 1x1 cylinders/cones or hinges.
Jan 10	comment	How do I make my own LEGO stickers? @Bill, This would be a good answer for this question.
Jan 6	comment	Are the LEGO Friends Mini-dolls compatible with Minifigures? Just curious, are they actually called 'minidolls' by LEGO? I do know that hairpieces are interchangeable and the neck of a Freinds figure can fit in the 'claws' of a traditional minifig.
Jan 5	comment	What is the male:female ratio of gendered minifigures? I did a quick check of the released sets in the Freinds theme. There are 23 female figures and one male figure (Peter).
Jan 5	comment	Which sets currently contain pneumatic LEGO equipment? @tombull89: This vending machine concept is powered by a home-made linear actuator. The Linear Actuator bricks sold by LEGO are smaller.
Jan 5	comment	What is considered the most valuable LEGO set? Expensive Star Wars sets in mint condition are generally a good investment. The only non-Star Wars set that comes close would probably be limited edition sets like the 10182 Cafe Corner, 10184 Town Plan and 10189 Taj Mahal.
Jan 5	comment	How do you store your built models for long-term display? @JoeWreschnig: Thanks, I'll have a look into that. I've found one example here.
Jan 5	comment	How do you store your built models for long-term display? I have the same model from IKEA for displaying models and the small gaps allow a lot of dust to get into the models. The advantages having this particular display cabinet is that it can clearly display models and it's relatively cheap.
Jan 4	comment	Which sets currently contain pneumatic LEGO equipment? Lego Educattion/Dacta set are usually overpriced
Jan 4	comment	Which sets currently contain pneumatic LEGO equipment? Linear actuators seem to be cropping up in recent sets as an alternative to pneumatic pumps. It may be that linear actuators have a finer degree of control as well as reliability. I don't know for sure as I don't own any.
Jan 4	comment	Which buildings were based on sets in the LEGO Island video game? The police helicopter did actually feature in the game when you visited the station, there was a minigame to build the helicopter.
Jan 4	comment	What are all the different third-party accessories that I can get for an RCX? Accessories as in, sensors, motors, gear, books, official, unofficial etc?
Jan 1	comment	Rebuilding the Millennium Falcon 7965 with unsorted bricks? I hope 'consigning the whole project to a rubbish bin' was purely metaphorical? I would cringe at the thought of perfectly good LEGO going to waste.
Dec 31	comment	Are the older (hollow underneath) brick elements considered “collectable”? Something like this?
Dec 30	comment	When did LEGO stop producing Technic action figures? Your last paragraph made a good point, I'd like to see what you were going to say after that.
Dec 30	comment	Which buildings were based on sets in the LEGO Island video game? @RedriderX: I believe the game was based of sets already in production.
Dec 29	comment	How did the LEGO Duck become a classic icon? @daviesgeek: Yes, but they made many different wooden toys. Sadly the Wikia article doesn't give more than that.
Dec 29	comment	Is it possible to connect an RCX to an iOS device? The iPhone (2007) and RCX (1998) are a generation apart. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's unlikely anyone has tried to connect the two devices.
Dec 28	comment	How can I create a simple steering mechanism for a car? My solution doesn't have to be motorised, you can use a gear or pulley wheel to manually adjust the wheel angle.
