The book explores 7 common architectural styles using photos of amazing LEGO creations, a brief history of each style, and instructions to build your own LEGO models in each architectural style! One of the goals of my 30-day Lego challenge is to build some of the models outside of my home. Even at home, it is important to have an easy way to pick up my bricks after a building session, as we don’t have a very big house.
This requires an efficient system to carry my bricks and ensure that none of them get lost. A lot of adult Lego builders sort their bricks before they start building. They might be sorted by color or by size, and in the extreme case every unique color and part would be stored separately. In my case, I like to sort them into groups of related bricks, but don’t need each and every type of brick in a separate bag, bin, drawer or pile. The Lego Architecture Studio set comes with two clear sorting trays, three small sorting boxes, and the main box is a reasonable size to carry. I like that they tried to include brick storage as part of the design of this set, but I quickly decided that the included sorting options are inadequate for my needs. Neither the small boxes or sorting trays have lids, so you can’t expect the pieces to stay in place on the go. I also don’t feel like there are enough containers included with the set to sort the bricks into small enough groups to support my style of building.
Instead, I have found it much easier to ignore the included boxes and trays. I have sorted the bricks into about ten different quart-sized ziploc bags. Separate bags include short bricks, long bricks, the wide bricks, small plates, large plates, specialty connectors, and clear bricks. (ex: One of my bags contains just the 1×1, 1×2, 1×3 and 1×4 bricks.) This way, I can grab the bags which are relevant to the project I’m building, let them spill out into small mounds, and shove them back into their bags when I’m done. My original plan was to carry all the bricks in the original box, but I decided that needed a better solution since the cardboard box is bulky and fragile. I considered a couple ideas, such as a single plastic tub with lid, a plastic hobby box with many small compartments or a canvas bag with a lid or zipper. In the end, I was drawn to the large Swoop bag original which I had seen online, but finally got a chance to see in person at the Seattle BrickCon convention.
These “bags” open flat so you can spread everything out and build Lego models right inside the canvas bag. It is sewn to include a small lip that keeps the pieces inside when the bag is laid flat. When you are done, you can pull the drawstring to clean everything up, knowing that you didn’t leave any bricks behind. (even if you keep most of your bricks in smaller bags, you sometimes miss one.) The bags are made right here in Seattle out of a durable Canvas fabric in your choice of twelve colors. I’ve used this setup for my project so far, and it has worked great in the living room while watching TV, and was easy to pick up and move when we had friends coming over for a party. I think it will work great for traveling projects, such as my planned Lego Challenge trip to the Seattle Central Library. My portable Lego Studio includes: 1210 Lego bricks included in the Lego Architecture Studio set. One Swoop bag original (I like the bright colors they offer, mine is the “Aquarium” color.)
Lego baseplates in a variety of colors. A white 16×16 baseplate has been particularly useful. Even though my Lego 30-day challenge is to use only the bricks in the Lego Architecture Studio set, I expect to augment my traveling kit with additional basic bricks, some hinges, and additional accent pieces after I complete my 30-day challenge. Please leave a comment below…The best Lego sets aren't just the ones that will make your kids squeal with delight once they see the box. The true mark is how they put it together and how long they enjoy it once the initial building is done. Most sets give a blueprint with simple, step-by-step instructions. While some kids follow these instructions to the letter, others see them as guidelines and free-build their way to something completely unique."The beauty of Lego is that you can do both: you can slavishly follow the set instructions, one step at a time, or you can chuck them aside and create something entirely new," says Dr. Jon Sutton, a Lego enthusiast and the managing editor of "The Psychologist" for the British Psychological Society. "
Some people bemoan the fact that the sets [are] more about building the latest movie tie-in than it used to be. I'm not sure I agree: it's good for kids to have the opportunity to do both set and free-building, and in my experience they do. And when I see how my boys play with Lego -- together, constructively, literally building on each other's ideas -- it makes all the money I've spent on Legos feel worthwhile!"While the branded sets come and go based on popularity of movies and licensed characters, the best ones are the free-building sets that keep kids and adults coming back, according to Karen Nolan, who handles public relations for Lego. "Lego City, Lego Friends, Lego Star Wars, Lego Duplo and Lego Classic have been some of our best sellers this year -- in fact, year over year."Pick up some of those top toys, or try one of these best Lego sets for kids:1) Lego Juniors Fire SuitcaseThe Lego Juniors Fire Suitcase is a great carrying case for fun with vehicles and mini figures on the go.2) Lego Juniors Pirate Treasure Hunt SetKids get a quick start and lots of imaginative play options with the Lego Juniors Pirate Treasure Hunt Set.3) Lego Classic Medium Creative Brick BoxStart your kids' collection with the 484 assorted pieces
