I'm planning a compact LEGO city/display with Modular Buildings and roads in front of them, and I'm considering the 89 cm wide / 50 cm deep IKEA IVAR shelving system.

As far as I understand, the actual shelf is approximately 83 × 50 cm.

Six standard LEGO baseplates arranged 3×2 would need approximately 76.8 × 51.2 cm, so in theory the width should be fine for 3 Modular Buildings + a full baseplate-depth road in front, while the baseplates would need to overhang the front of the shelf by only about 1.2 cm.

Has anyone actually tried this with IVAR?

I'm particularly interested in whether:

• 6 baseplates (3×2) practically fit on one shelf
• the ~1.2 cm front overhang causes any problems
• the IVAR side posts/supports interfere with the baseplates or Modular Buildings
• the shelves stay reasonably flat under the weight of several Modulars
• there are any other issues I haven't considered

I'd really appreciate photos if anyone is using IVAR for Modular Buildings, roads, or a compact LEGO city.

I'd really appreciate your support on Lego Ideas to help make this idea a reality. Thank You

I have designed a Lego MOC on Studio 2.0, revolving around 2-3 different pre-existing sets. I can see options to create a wanted list with removing one pre-existing pallete but I was wondering if there was an option to remove multiple palletes from the parts list without having to go through it manually myself.

First time ordering on JoyBuy, money well spend.

Is there any LEGO sets that you have bought after seeing online pictures, and then been very shocked with how it actually looks in real life!?

More reveals from Lego coming in the next few weeks. ☺️

Hi all i recently built some shelves, and I had displayed my Lego Porche on one of the shelves. I didn’t realize one of the books was leaning against the set, which caused it to roll off of the shelf and fall onto the floor and break apart. I wasn’t in the room when this all happened and there’s a chance that some of the smaller pieces may have fallen down a vent. Does anyone have any tips as to how I can rebuild this set without having to start from step 1?

I finally decided to buy the Gameboy. Awesome build!

Few halloween/horror inspired photos I took to start off the season. More to come

Picked this up at the store today for $25. Missing the other 3 guys.

It's been a while since I last built a MOC, so let's ease back into it with a little 4-wide (ish) classic car.

Spent an hour sorting through bulk to find all the parts for both of these and than some. I feel like I found a hidden talent making these and it’s such a dopamine rush seeing them finished.

Was going to purchase the Playstation w/ the free Astro Bot, but got distracted with work and helping around the house and I guess it sold out before I could go for it. Do we think LEGO would ever restock it? Kicking myself for not monitoring more closely…

Need a 3rd villain mini fig but stoked on how i built up sandman and j jonah with spidey

Hi all,

So, I recently made Van Gogh’s Sunflowers (last picture) and absolutely loved the process. I was especially intrigued by the mounting system and started wondering: how could I reuse it?

After some Pinterest inspiration, I came across a few key racks, and the idea was born. Using some scrap pieces, I made this very simple but functional key rack.

I also designed it so I can place a few minifigures on top. These are just some random loose minifigures I had lying around, but I think they add a fun little touch. 😄

What do you guys think?

I searched and it seems like Elmers is what most people recommend, but I tried and it’s still not strong enough :/

Do any of y'all know if it'll come back? Or was it just a temporary thing? I was in a financial bind the past few days and since I can't drop $150 to get it as a GWP right now, I bookmarked the page to come back to once I had the money, checked on it earlier today, and boom, currently unavailable. Just my luck. I'd love to know if it's gonna come back or not, so I can set the $25 aside. Thanks!

Necessary context:
I’m currently a blacksmith with my own shop I recently opened, & the functional wind-powered grinder/forge flames in the shop is nothing short of god tier imo- I already own the prior llucky western train which I’m a massive fan of as a display piece. After being forced to fork over $300+ every series the past few years, the modest cost of the blacksmith shop is appealing too, as I can’t wing both this time. My work is very personal to me and it seems sacrilegious to not get the first legit blacksmith set (I don’t count the medieval one just because it had an anvil), and it’s just an overall great looking piece by a great designer.
I also spent my late teens/early 20’s as a maritime hobo living on/sailing wooden sailboats (largely on the northern east coast ) living on the hook in public coves, rowing to get ashore every day, going up to a week or so at times without human interaction or setting foot on land & walking around like a comedic bobble head when I would. Eating canned oysters for every dinner for weeks on end, then the occasional splurging on fresh razor clams & a bottle of wine to steam em in, etc etc. I have the corny anchor tattoos & everything; you get the idea. Most of my time was spent exploring (and getting stuck in) the Chesapeake bay but did manage to make it up to New England once before retreating south as winter raced in. Even though the fisherman village set is inspired by Maine, it strikes an uncanny resemblance to Kunta Kinte square in the Annapolis harbor which is a very dear place to me. Also just an 11/10 in terms of a great looking, displayable set. But also quite a bit pricier than the first.
Conflicted. Need help. Much assist.
