If it has to do with Lego, you'll find it here.There are too many sites to mention them all but here are the ones I use regularly and why:The Brickish Association is the site for LEGO fans throughout the UK. There are now a few more local LEGO User Groups as well but this was the first and is national.
Most of the UK events are posted here, including those from other LUGs.Eurobricks is the main European community site with various forums. I read mostly Technic and Trains but there are forums for all themes. With those chosen themes it is easier to find common interest in a larger group of people further afield than just the UK.TechnicBricks is a really good Technic blog, including technical details and news on new sets.I have also joined quite a few LEGO fan groups on facebook.For posting pictures of LEGO models, I still use Brickshelf. Some people find it a bit clunky and use mainstream picture sites instead but Brickshelf was set up for LEGO fans. Here are my pictures.For posting videos of LEGO models, I use YouTube. Here's my latest video.For LEGO models that aim to become a set, LEGO Ideas is great. Each person can write a blog for their idea and others can support for free. Ideas that gather 10,000 supporters may be considered for production as a LEGO set; usually 1 or 2 succeed out of the 10 or so that make it every few months.
Here's my latest idea.Brickset is the site for set information. It has the sets all catalogued by various searchable criteria, as well as information on current parts, which is useful when planning a model-building project.Bricklink is the largest site for LEGO purchases, with sets, parts and other items listed. It has set inventories. I find useful the "This part appears in n sets" feature because if I want a particular piece I can work out if I have some from the sets I have already or whether there are current sets I could buy that have those pieces.I use both of those in conjunction with the LEGO Customer Services parts site to evaluate the best way to purchase parts, whether it is in sets or by a parts order from one site or another.Ten Top LEGO Facts!
