Mar 26	comment	Is it legal to sell your mocs? The only thing that I would add to this otherwise excellent answer is a link to TLG's official statement on copyright, trademark, and fair use aboutus.lego.com/en-us/legal-notice/fair-play As long as someone does not run afoul of those terms you're pretty much in the clear. Do note that most of those terms do refer to "non-commercial" use though so be careful how you apply them.
Feb 27	comment	Why do new LEGO bricks feel softer than old bricks? As @Kramii mentioned, my understanding is that most of the parts coming from China are textile parts like the capes and strings.

Mar 13	comment	What is the most compact way to make a flat six pointed star in LEGO? Would you have trouble keeping the elastic bands on the ends of the blades or screwdrivers? I wouldn't think there would be quite enough friction on their surfaces to keep them in place. Probably worth giving it a try though. It's certainly a refinement that's worth playing around with.
Mar 13	comment	What is the most compact way to make a flat six pointed star in LEGO? Not a huge fan of dremels, but it's a fair point about the flowers. We had also noticed the triangular plates with clips but the clip on front was a problem for the application. We're planning on giving the pulley a try but it might not work in this setting. Still, it's a great idea.

Mar 10	comment	What is the most compact way to make a flat six pointed star in LEGO? @Ambo100 Yep, we've noticed the same thing. Plenty of five pointed stars but this particular build (a Synagogue to go with the Cathedral and Mosque) really needs a six pointed star instead of a five.

Mar 6	comment	What are the new elements released via the LEGO Friends sets? Good points about the Microphone and Custard Pie elements. The trans-clear Vial in the Laboratory set was similarly only released with a Collectible MiniFig.
Mar 6	revised	What are the new elements released via the LEGO Friends sets? Struck the Cream Pie element per comment.
Mar 6	comment	What are the new elements released via the LEGO Friends sets? @Ambo100 Ah! I figured there was at least one of those in the list. Should be fixed here in a second. Thanks for pointing it out.

Mar 5	comment	Are these trees LEGO parts? @Zhaph-BenDuguid And the question is open-ended enough to not be a good question for this forum I suppose.
