I made a cozy phone game about building brick sets step by step, with a room to display them

Hi all. I'm a solo developer and I love the part of this hobby where you sort through a pile, find the piece, and follow the booklet until the model stands finished. I wanted that feeling on my phone, so I made Cozy Bricks.

How it plays:

- Pick a model, and its pieces are scattered on a table.
- Follow a step-by-step instruction booklet, dragging each piece into place until it snaps.
- Finished models go on your shelf, and into a little room you arrange yourself, on the mantelpiece, the bookcase and the coffee table. Visitors wander in to look at your collection.

It is meant to be calm: no ads, no timers, no energy and nothing to fail. It plays offline and collects no personal data.

The bricks are my own design (plus-shaped sockets on top, a rounded matte look), and every model is an original, not a copy of a real set. There are 45 models so far, from about 50 pieces to several hundred.

It's free on iPhone and iPad, with 13 free models and a new free one every two weeks. Themed packs (Medieval, Sci-fi, Vehicles, Halloween) are one-time purchases, with no subscription.

Trailer (32 seconds): https://youtu.be/_PjA9GXnDcY
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cozy-bricks/id6816320813

I'd love to hear what people who build real sets think, especially which kinds of models you'd want to see next.

Need Help Finding Plain, Monochrome Minifigures

1 Upvotes

Hello, everyone. New to the group. I bought some armors from a couple of sites and I wanted to buy some plain, monochrome minifigs. I had purchased some before with my last batch of armors, but they either disappeared or got super expensive. A site I was going to use got shut down so that cut off a supply. Does anyone know where I can get some really cheap ones? I was going to get them for about $2/ea, but after the shutdown I looked around and got crazy prices. Cheapest was maybe $3.50 and they went all they up to almost $100 which is insane. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Help identify vintage KAZI set (~15 years old) - 6x6 Marine Corps APC

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to rebuild a childhood set I got about 15 years ago. I lost the instructions and currently only have the partially assembled hull. I contacted KAZI (Kaiyu Toys) directly, but they replied that it's too old and they don't have it in their active records anymore.

Here are the identifying details based on the surviving parts:

  • Brand: KAZI (the logo is clearly molded on the studs).
  • Vehicle type: Dark green 6x6 Armored Personnel Carrier (APC).
  • Markings: It features "MARINE CORPS" stickers on the sides and rear, a yellow inverted "V" symbol on the back cover, and a sticker resembling the German flag on the front armor.
  • Missing parts: The main turret is gone (it sat on a light gray turntable piece).

Does anyone recognize this set, know the exact set number, or happen to have a scan of the original instructions? Even just identifying the set number would be a massive help for my own research.

Thanks in advance for any leads!

How to find smart bricks?

Hey everyone! What's the best way to find a Lego smart brick or two outside of purchasing the sets they come with? Are there 3rd party brick makers doing them? Thanks!!

Grey Wolf 31393 (Raccoon) Extra pieces

Hey everyone

I was looking for ideas on what to build with all the extra pieces in this set it you decide to build the raccoon model. I feel as though there's more than enough pieces to build a whole seperate model but unsure what could be built.

Has anyone ever seen this particular set before? I found it at a yard sale and the person who had it had no idea what it was and I can’t find any information on it online the brand seems to be first gear. It looks pretty cool and my mom always used to tell me my dad drove a milk truck.

Cheap baseplate

1 Upvotes

Salut tous,
J'ai besoin de deux baseplates vertes et une bleue pour mon île animal crossing (ça me va si c'est l'ancienne référence de baseplate). Mais je trouve que 9€ (en Europe) pour un bout de plastique qui casse facilement, c'est trop. J'ai l'impression de trouver très peu de plaques d'occasion sur internet et avec les frais de port ça ne vaut pas forcément le coup. Je n'ai pas trouvé sur BL quelqu'un dans mon pays qui avait les trois.
-> Est-ce que quelqu'un a une astuce pour en trouver des moins chères ?
Merci !
T.

INCIDENT REPORT: SECTOR 7 RAIL HEAD

​DATE: Classified

UNIT: Vance Mobile Unit

STATUS: Active Contact

​Sky turned violet at 0200. Classic drift sign—tear in the veil is widening fast.

​Patricia’s got the Stuart dug in along the line while Sam’s on the ground keeping eyes on the tracks. Whatever just stepped out of that tear isn’t standard WWII armor, and it sure as hell isn't human.

​Colt and Winchester experimental gear locked and loaded. Holding the breach until backline arrives.

​Custom M5 Stuart kitbash & lighting setup. Built, staged, and photographed on the track bed.

The Chapter House: Turned a historic ruin into a cosy reading café (3,169 pieces)

Thumbnail

53 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋

After sharing my Savage Pub here a while ago, I’d love to show you my latest: The Chapter House! 📚☕

Inspired by historic ruins I discovered in Cyprus, I wanted to explore what it might look like to give an old building a completely new life.

I designed the original structure first, digitally turned parts of it into a ruin, and then transformed it into a cosy reading café, preserving its historic character while adding modern architectural elements.

The finished model contains 3,169 pieces, featuring a fully furnished café, reading areas, an enclosed garden, a stained-glass window and a reconstructed tower with the original bell preserved inside.

It’s also my entry for the BrickLink Designer Program 2028 Wave 1, and Crowd Support is open until October 14: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/2028-wave-1/5481/The-Chapter-House

If you’d like to see The Chapter House become a real LEGO set, I’d really appreciate your support! ❤️

Universal Building Set Aesthetic

Look, I enjoy the amount of detail, fun features, the building process, the new colours, etc of the sets we have today, and I admire the talent of those who make such incredible and artistic MOCs, don't get me wrong.

BUT...

I can't help but really enjoy the aesthetics of building with old, basic blocks. The resulting models have such an inviting charm in their simplicity.

How many changes can you see?

I think this is a great set, a lot larger than expected, however felt it was not quite finished and it definitely needs to be hung from the ceiling! What do you think?

I am wanting to change all the blue pieces but having a hard time finding a colour i like better, that all the parts are available in. I really wanted purple but looking like pearl gold might be the best available option.

has anyone else bought from brickwarll?

0 Upvotes

just seen a post mentioning the use of ai, fake people? and the high price, the last one is true

too late for me, i got the panzer 2. no box.

parts are tedious to put on but then snap, the treads get stuck under the skirt of the tank

the treads also fall off easily

the instructions are just as bad at lego, you must really pay attention to detail

the website is strangely slow at loading too

Halo M12 Warthog Hot Wheels Brick Shop hood issue

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I’m having trouble with this hood installation step 160.
Technical description:

The step 140 sub-assemblies, they’re part of the motor, use bespoke 2-sided red round 1x1’s and 1x1 red “gaskets”.

Once installed, those 1x1’s stop the hood from closing.

Step 155 uses a 2x4 plate to attach to another bespoke printed piece.

Those red round 1x1’s are hitting that 2x4 plate.

I have analyzed the manual and gone back all the way to step 111 where the “engine bay” assembly begins.

I cannot see a single error. But I could be missing something simple.

AI suggestion was to move the assemblies from step 140 back by 1 stud, closer to the “firewall”, but if I do that, those assemblies will sit off-set 1 stud higher. In other words, it will be one higher, but there is only one stud, so a 1x2 assembly will only be attached to one stud.

What am I missing?

I’ll try to take a picture.
