iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I asked and such a thing did appear! This is a #Lego / #AFOL #StarterPack with some recommended accounts to follow if you love building Lego sets! (Or you at least like buying cardboard boxes and stacking them on top of one another and meaning to get around to building them!)

My suggestion was adding the Santa hats. My suggestion was excellent. (Especially D-O.) #Lego

Listen, I'll be honest...I have no idea what is going on here or why this will come into existence after January 1. What I do know is that I need it. #Lego #Spider-Man #Marvel

@yorkshirebricker.bsky.social Based on name alone I’ll be your first follower, since I’m also from Yorkshire. If it helps you get a foot into the community, we’ve got a starter pack here that you can use to follow a good few Lego accounts in one go: go.bsky.app/Nr9WSnP

If millennials stopped buying Morrisons Alcohol Free Christmas Puddings with eggs on toast they’d be able to afford a house.

The forthcoming Lego City Soapbox racers, main set and additional ones. Maybe a slightly niche collection for UK-folk I think, but I’m sure with both a toilet and a hospital bed implausibly rolling down a hill they’ll find an audience here in Last of The Summer Wine fans. #Lego #LegoCity

Lego set 60460, box art and a picture of the completed set. Includes hot dog and toilet vehicles.

Will this #Lego Ideas #Taskmaster set reach 10,000? It better, and it’ll be a disgrace if not. Will it get made into a set? Almost certainly not, as was the case with the amazing Great British Bake Off set. It’s just *too* British. But watch the amazing video and live in hope, at least!

Am I always going to share Lego posts from libraries? Probably.

Isn’t it a bit weird to have a cute Christmas jumper depicting a battle the rebellion barely escaped from in which dozens of allies and friends lost their lives…Just me? #Lego

Thing I learned from this pic: Putting your Winter Village on a white unit immediately makes it look better. If you’re not putting the whole thing on baseplates, this is an excellent way of presenting it.

This is so bad I’m compelled to repost it.

Not sure if this is a controversial #Lego opinion, but the sort of rubber or silicon capes and cloaks that very occasionally appear are much, much better than the cloth ones. They look better, age better and they’re much harder to lose, too.

Lego builders, which are you? And why? Both is an entirely acceptable answer! #Lego

It’s a Sunday but still a work day at Brick Orbit! Today’s task is to finish cutting out the high-res photos of Lego Star Wars minifigures, including a few quite rare ones. Hopefully on the site today! While I work, if anyone has any questions about the business or minifigures, ask away! #Lego

Lego minifigure orders packed for the day, a walk to the post office to commence shortly! Can I just say to the person who has ordered both Statler and Waldorf together: I appreciate you. Appreciate all the orders, obviously. But that is a fun one. #Lego

“Two studs back and one to the left” Amazing homework scenes. #Lego

Some more City F1 pics! For City builders, these have the bonus over the Speed Champions as they’re six studs wide, not eight. Ie. They fit on Lego City Roads. (Although I suppose you can just use Speed Champions and say you’re building Monaco and there’s no room for passing…) #F1 #Lego

Well, that was probably worth a countdown timer for (twice)! A whole grid of F1 cars are heading to your Speed Champions collection...Plus F1 sets designed specifically for becoming part of a Lego City. This is some fun stuff. Expensive overall, but fun. Thoughts? #F1 #FormulaOne #Lego

Well, this sounds amazing. If you're far enough south to justify going to this, I think you should be going to this. Lego and beer*? And someone else is providing the Lego? This is amazing. *I read the description, drinking is obviously not a requirement. #Lego

I’ve not seen this one before, out next month. Not a fan of the buildable figures like this, but the wings definitely take it up a level compared to others… Pun not intended, but absolutely left there when I realised. #Lego #CaptainAmerica #BraveNewWorld

New Lego buildable figure, Sam Wilson Captain America. Box and figure.

This is a lovely way to display the Lego Bonsai Tree set.

If you were only allowed to buy one, which would you go for? I’m expecting Wolfpack answers, but I’m saying the Hamster Costume!

Well, that looks ace. I don’t really know what it’s meant to be…Pub? Shop? Dunno. But the style is great. #Lego

Seems worth sharing! I’ve seen some of the pics from this Lego Photography exhibition earlier this year and they were ace. Stick it in your calendar if you’re in the North East of the UK! #Lego

Andrew @ Brick Orbit @brickorbit.com · 19/11/2024

Unsurprisingly since it ran in Women’s Own the year before I was born, I’ve never seen this Lego ad…It’s amazing, nailed it. (And yes, I’m choosing to ignore one or two of the shows selected. It was the 80s.) #Lego

The official My Nintendo Store's currently selling the Lego Zelda Deku Tree for £181.99, which is nearly £80 off its usual £260 price. It's also doing the Lego Mario & Yoshi for £80.49 instead of £114.99. nintendo-uk.pxf.io/qzn9yg (affiliate link)

Has anyone made a starter pack for #Lego or #AFOL or that sort of stuff? That'd be useful...

I'll be posting...A bunch of Lego-related stuff. Cool figures, sets I buy, sets I find time to actually build, leaks, opinions on new sets. But mostly just having a bit of a chat while I should be doing some work. Hello!

Brick Orbit itself launched in March 2024 (ie. we're still quite new) but we've had almost 600 orders in that time, including lots of repeat customers. From this point onwards we'll be adding new minifigures almost every day. There's quite a backlog! And rest assured, everything we sell is genuine!
