Thanks for the help byroads! You are correct, it does (or can) use a 1x4 with studs on one side. It is turned sideways. These sideways bricks are ran all the way to the headboard which attaches to them normally (not SNOT need at that end). You have to use at least two of the 1x4 bricks with studs on...

I've been trying to figure this out all day. How are the headboard and foot board attached to the rest of the bed?? http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=158348&d=1424736097 http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=158347&d=1424736096 If you have th...

Why is this set so popular?

As my first year a new LEGO fan, I must say I did not buy anything from them is month either. Well, I picked up a couple of packs of the minfigs 7 & 8 for the kids stocking this year, but that was it. Even when they had the BOGO 40% off, I could always find the sets for a little less or for the ...

I've just started in the Lego hobby, and I am going to be more of a MOC builder so I researched several options for storing and sorting all the different bricks.

The TRU Lego site page shows a BOGO 40% off right now.

Thanks for the replies. I've actually started doing both already (couldn't wait!), but it's good to hear what more experienced members are doing.

Hello, new member here. I did a search but did not find anything specific to this... I've just got into Legos (well, as an adult) and I'm more interested in building my own designs (mainly planes). Does anyone have any thoughts on rather it is better to start building a brick collection to build fro...
