LEGO Bricklink Order #7 and a PAB Cup – The neatest packing ever?

July 10, 2019 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

LEGO Bricklink Order #7 and a PAB Cup – The neatest packing ever? These orders were about getting things moving and letting my minifigures come and go – you’ll see what I mean in the video. And I was also at the Sydney LEGO store and did a small PAB Cup that I was rather proud of!

As I’ve said in a few of my videos and my recent roller coaster videos, I’ve been wanting to get into motorizing some of my city and also starting to add some articulation.

The second order is really, really boring! Unless you love building LEGO MOCs! Because what do buildings need more than anything? Windows and Doors! And I realised that I plain didn’t have any windows and doors. This changes that! Big Time!

And last, but by no means least, I did a small Pick-A-Brick Cup which I was rather proud of how it was packed – and of course how much potential is in the cup!

Let me know what you think along with suggestions when you’ve finished watching the video and don’t forget to like it!

Building a Custom LEGO Roller Coaster (Part 1 video). I’ve mentioned a few times that I was going to combine 2 Unikitty Unikingdom Fairground Fun sets (41456) with some extra track pieces. This is the first version of my LEGO Roller Coaster track and I’ve learned a few things already!

Here’s the Bricksonville video I mentioned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KGwdaYEMuU

Combining the two roller coasters is easy enough. But extending the track and making the layout more interesting is not as easy – but it is a lot of fun.

In this video I’ll talk through some of the design challenges and thoughts on them. I’ll show you what I’ve built – and how much fun it is to play with. And what I’m going to do to improve and change it.
