Would you like to give feedback on images or tell us about a lower price?Huw over at Brickset just reviewed the Middle Earth LEGO Minifigure Catalog. Have a look and maybe you would like purchase a copy. Since the theme is pretty much done (except maybe for some figures in LEGO Dimensions), it should be future proof.While some Lego Serious Play kits are out of stock, let me give you my approach that I used a few months ago (DIY, do-it-yourself approach). I visited our local LEGO reseller and created the kits with their help. website, where today all the items seem to be in stock. If you have any questions about the set then I would be more than happy to comment. Furthermore I know that many of us have used customised sets. If you have some good experience with some of the sets then you are more than welcome to share your examples, too. Bear in mind that this Do-It-Yourself approach requires some preparatory work. What is good is that the price of the suggested collection for a group of 10 people would be more or less in par with the LSP Landscape and Identity Kit, i.e. it will vary between 500-600 EUR depending on how many individual items you purchase.
However, this collection will have certain limitations. There are some particular items in the LSP kits, which are usually important business metaphors, but are unfortunately so rare in Lego stock that no other sets include them in sufficient quantity. You will have to do without them: This step-by-step guide will help you to create a set that would be appropriate for a group of 10-15 people. See below for the detailed description. First Step – Storage and division Second step – Base Plates Third Step – Community Sets After the storage and base plates are in place we will get into the more difficult stage – compiling the actual Lego parts for building. What we have to first keep in mind is the high diversity of items of the LSP kits. The Landscape Kit comes with more than 2750 components and Communications Kit with more than 2000. Combined number of different parts provides a rich toolkit that not a single other Lego set is able to match. In order to have a vivid and imaginative discussion with your participants, it is necessary to combine a number of different kits into one.
Fourth Step – Additions to Community Sets Thereafter I purchased some additional mini-figures. Frequently each participant wants to use ca 4-5 people-figures. Believe it or not – that was it! Usually the large Storage Box above would be just about sufficient to fit all of the items for a single table of ca 10-12 participants and you are most likely ready to go. Final Step – Optional ItemsBrickset, as well as being a great source for LEGO news and reviews, is a also an excellent service for keeping a list of all the sets and minifigures that you own. Brickset also has some more advanced features for marking sets that you own without minifigures and custom flags to make managing your collection even easier. Once you’ve set up your collection, you can also share it publicly if you desire. For example, here is my collection. If you haven’t already, signup for a Brickset account. There are a number of different ways you can search for sets to add them to your collection: by set number, by set name or by tag.
To add a set to your collection, type the set name or number into the search box and once you’ve found the set you want to add, simply check the “I own” checkbox and it will be added to your collection. A large number of sets on Brickset are also tagged to make searching for a set easier; if you type Emmet into the search box you will see Emmet Brickowski [Tag] as one of the suggestions. Selecting this option will show you all sets that contain an Emmet minifigure. You can then view a list of all the sets you by selecting Sets you own from the My sets menu. You can also set up a wanted list of sets by checking the I want checkbox: your wanted list can be found by selecting Sets you want from the My sets menu.Brickset will automatically work out which minifigures you have based on the sets you own. However, if you’re like me, you may on occasion buy a set without the minifigures and Brickset has a feature to cope with this: flags. Flags are a way for you to add extra metadata to the sets you own.
/mycollection and select Set up flags. Brickset allows you up to four custom flags: I have a Bricklinked flag for noting when I bought the parts of a set from Bricklink, a To build flag to note when I haven’t yet opened a set and a Maybe flag to use in conjunction with my wanted list. The blue flag has an extra checkbox to make the flag indicate that you don’t own the minifigures for a set. By using this flag, Brickset will not show that you own the minifigures from any set with this flag applied. If you have purchased a minifigure individually, there are two ways you can add this to your minifigures collection. The first is to find the set the minifigure comes from, select the minifigures tab from the set page, and check the I own checkbox. These will be added to your minifigure collection. The second method is to search by the name of the minifigure: simply change the search dropdown to minifigs. Once you have found the minifigure you want to add to your collection, simple check the I own checkbox.
Once you’ve set up your collection, you can filter by theme, year and sort it by various different methods (e.g. number of pieces). This is great for sets that are directly linked together by something official like a theme, but if you want to create a custom list of sets, or BrickLists as Brickset calls them, you can. For example, I’ve made a list of the sets given away with the Daily Mail last year for my own reference. To create a new BrickList, select BrickLists from My Menu and then select ` Create new BrickList`. Give your list a title and description and then you can start adding sets to it. You can choose to make it public or keep it private. As an additional bonus of having catalogued your collection, if you are looking for a specific part, Brickset will tell you which sets that you own contain that part you are looking for. Change the search dropdown to part, find the part you want to find, choose a colour and then select View sets in your collection that contain this part.
