RC Boats & Planes RC Cars & Trucks Pictures from an Amusement Park I built for a mid-2000’s NCLTC train show but it also appeared at LEGO Palooza in Chapel Hill on several occasions. Originally it was just two rides. The amusement park sits on four 64×64 baseplates in a 2×2 pattern. I spent a lot of time on the “Spider” ride getting the arms to go up and down as the ride turned. The Carousel was loosely modeled after something I saw in a LEGO publication. My brother-in-law built most of the little stands you can see along the side, the dunking booth in particular was well done and always got lots of comments.
Old Photos and Events I am doing some cleaning up of my “LEGO digital stuff” which is scattered across sites like BrickShelf and MOCPages and have decided to post them here on my site. Many of the things I’ll be posting aren’t new but are older creations or pictures from events that I don’t want to lose track of. Some of my remaining LEGO Trains As part of my big purge I also decided to part with some of the LEGO Trains I have which are still in boxes, some of which have never been opened or still have their inner bags sealed. I don’t want to sell everything but I really don’t need 10 copies of the 4536 Blue Hopper either (although it is one of my favorite train sets and at one point I did own 10 copies of it). Periodically I get a query on the condition of a particular set. I recently had a serious collector looking for a pristine copy of the Limited Edition 10020 Santa Fe Super Chief and I had one listed on BrickLink. In the end, the buyer decided that the creases in the box I had for sale were a concern and decided not to buy it but asked what else I had still in boxes.
So while taking pictures of the Super Chief box, I decided to take pictures of everything I have in boxes. If any of these are of interest, feel free to check out my BrickLink store to see if I have them listed. If I don’t, you’re welcome to contact me to see about availability. Support ME Models Kickstarter for new 9v Track ME Models is running a KickStarter campaign to get their aftermarket 9v track into production. I picked up a few packages of their rails a few years ago at BrickMagic in Raleigh and was impressed. I have pledged – you should too! Vote for CTB-6500 on LEGO Cuusoo I finally got around to posting one of my designs on LEGO Cuusoo. It is one of my all time personal favorites, my CTB-6500 Monster Truck. If this is something you’d like to see as an official LEGO set, head on over to Cuusoo and vote for it!

Building Lego toys is fun, whether you’re building from the manual or creating something entirely new, a.k.a. a Lego MOC (My Own Creation). A select few expert builders from around the world are even hired by Lego and become what are known as Lego Master Model Builders. They usually have architectural or engineering degrees and can also work at Lego theme parks in addition to the Lego headquarters in Denmark. MOC designs can be submitted to the Kickstarter-like website Lego Ideas (formerly known as LEGO CUUSOO). Once the submission reaches 10,000 supporters, it’s reviewed for several months by a team of Lego set designers, program managers and marketing reps. If it’s approved, the former MOC can be launched as an official set! We’ve seen many CUUSOO/Ideas projects like the Back to the Future DeLorean, Ghostbusters Ecto-1, Wall-E and Doctor Who and Companions make it into production. Here are 10 of our favorite Lego Ideas sets that either didn’t get approved or may just one day be flying off store shelves on Black Friday.
Created by Masashi Togami, this LEGO set based on Doc Brown’s flying locomotive time machine from Back to the Future III, reached 10,000 supporters, but it was ultimately not approved into production during the second 2014 review. This cool-looking train can even be built with moving parts thanks to Lego Power Functions (YouTube video). Now that the Ghostbusters Firehouse and Ecto-1 are available to consumers, the StayPuft Marshmallow Man, designed by LEGO super creator Brent Waller (who also did Ecto-1), is a natural fit. Consisting of over 1,800 pieces, it stands 13 inches tall with articulated head, arms, legs, feet and hands, which makes the deceptively evil Stay Puft an unusual but awesome addition to the Lego family. Status: In review (early 2016). The home of the Elves has been faithfully recreated in this 1,400-piece set which also includes essential minifigs like Celebor, Galadriel, Legolas, Boromir, Aragorn and Frodo. Like the Lego Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, Lothlorien makes for an unusual-looking but very imaginative and elegant set worthy of the Lego name.
Alex Jones built this set as a faithful recreation of Harper Goff’s design from the classic Disney movie based on Jules Verne’s beloved sci-fi novel. Although it doesn’t dovetail with other Lego themes, the Nautilus looks like a fun and challenging build, particularly the large scale version pictured here (4.5 ft. and 3000 pieces). The Lego Physics set combines Lego dominoes and a marble run for a very unique Lego experience that opens up new avenues for the kinds of official sets we might see in the future (much as Lego Birds did). A science-related theme to get kids interested in STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) sounds like a slam dunk. My hunch is, of all the Lego Ideas projects in the second 2015 Lego review, this one is the most likely to make it onto store shelves. Status: In Review (early 2016). Submitted in summer 2015, this super-detailed recreation of the classic off-roader has amassed the requisite 10,000 supporters in four short months.
It’s built with around 1,700 pieces and seems like a shoo-in for the LEGO Creator series. This dazzling set based on Davy Jones’s cursed ship from the movie series is an incredible effort that harkens back to the kind of detail you would see from old-school ships in a bottle. Sadly, this project did not the pass the third 2014 Lego review. It may not be for mass market consumption but this set represents the pinnacle of what Lego bricks and ingenuity can do. Submitted in June 2015, this 2,623-piece set is gaining steam on Lego Ideas with an impressive recreation of the iconic visitor center from the first Jurassic Park movie. Like many popular Lego sets, the various rooms are hinged or detachable. In addition to minfigures of the main characters, you get a molded Velociraptor and two brick-built skeletons of the T-Rex and Sauropod. Status: 7,400+ supporters (10k deadline: June 2017) The Lego Modular Buildings Collection has been a big hit with AFOLs (Adult Fans of Lego), and this 3,000-piece set submitted in 2015 would be a cool addition to that theme, as well as Lego’s long history of train sets.
