Oct 27	comment	Are companies producing custom molded LEGO pieces legally entitled to do so? Technically: this is off topic (no legal questions on stack exchange)
Oct 27	comment	What is a good ratio to buy bricks in? This question is incredibly subjective. I use mostly 1x1 and 2x2 in yellow. Any answer is valid until you dream up a project for which it's not!
Oct 27	answered	What can I do to repair my minifigures loose neck/head joint?

Oct 27	comment	How are LEGO sets designed? Why is it less expensive? Lego almost went bankrupt from inventing too many new parts in 2005.

Oct 26	comment	Do tools exist to help me translate a real world object to a LEGO design? This doesn't seem to answer the question as asked. Or explain what advantage LDD has?
Oct 26	comment	What are the characteristics of “Miniland” scale? The Lego parks had the term Miniland first; can you cite its use outside the parks?
Oct 26	comment	What kind of plastic are LEGO bricks made of? It's also worth recording that most clones are polystyrene, which is roughly half the cost and can't be made as elastic as ABS.
Oct 26	comment	What kind of plastic are LEGO bricks made of? ABS is not just one plastic: it is a copolymer and is extremely customizable by varying the inputs. There are frequently used commercial formulations though.
Oct 26	comment	What kind of plastic are LEGO bricks made of? Polypropylene is typically used for "living hinge" molded parts. I can find a cite for this.

Oct 26	comment	What's the most cost effective and efficient way to buy bricks? Another approach: browse to a set you are familiar with and look at the set inventory to learn what Bricklink calls those parts.
Oct 26	answered	Why did Technic bricks have holes in the studs?
Oct 26	comment	Has anyone made their own custom LEGO bricks? Can you make your answer more specific? Bricks made on $ 100,000 printers interoperate with the real brick but sub $1000 printers produce bricks with poor tolerances.
Oct 26	comment	Where are LEGO parts made? Magnets, pens, watches and such have been made in China. These parts are sometimes different plastics from the rest of the line. Collectible minifigs also say Made in China.

Oct 26	revised	Does the LEGO company sell LEGO brick organization bins? edited tags
