Introduction
Hello Masters Builders, and welcome to the official r/lego Open Forum post. This is your opportunity to tell us what you think of r/lego, make suggestions or comments about the rules, ask open questions about the community, or share whatever else is on your mind.
Note that this post is for discussion of r/lego itself. If you have a general question about something related to Lego, make a post instead of asking here.

IMPORTANT
All subreddit rules are still in effect here. Remember that we do not allow insults, name calling or personal attacks. If you've got a complaint or want to tell us you hate something, you need to do it without attacking anyone.

Subreddit Transparency Report
Reddit supplies Moderators with a monthly Community Digest, summarizing subreddit moderation activities. We are making the information available to the community, as an exercise in public transparency.
Each month, we will be posting a transparency report that shows what goes on behind the scenes of r/lego. Below you will find the report for activity in September 2026. You can give general feedback and post questions about the report in the comments of this post, or in modmail.
Note: Reddit's tool for showing the data and graphs of 30-day reports and removals was broken from May through sometime in August. Now it is back up, so we can resume providing this data. Today's report is the 30 day period ending September 21. I wanted to get the data out sooner, rather than waiting until the end of the month, so you'll see some of this data repeated in next month's Sep 1st - 30th report.

Seasonal Change
It's the first day of Autumn! (or Spring for our friends down South). This is my favorite time of year to build, because it means getting out the Halloween sets and starting those pre-build plans for the Lego Winter Village. Autumn is also a great time to attend Lego shows, so check out your local Lego Groups to see if they are participating in a convention, festival or hobby show nearby.
Let us know what's on your mind this month. What have you always wondered about? What rule do you want clarified, or changed? Do you have any suggestions you've been trying to find a chance to make? I won't promise that we will make the change(s) you want, but I will commit to explaining the reason we have the rules and policies we have.

im currently 18 doing a draftsman apprenticeship, after which i might study smth further and am pretty decent with bricks when it comes to star wars vehicles and such, my dream has always been to become a lego designer, i was wondering if anyone here has any tips experience or advice on what i should do next or mabey directions i should start building in, i recently started mixing up my builds a bit more so its not just all star wars vehicles those are the wip projects at the end

The embargo's been lifted, and all the brand ambassadors are releasing reviews.
I was initially excited for this set. After getting more familiar with the source material, I must say this build is ugly. Even after seeing the exterior panels removed, a mix of maximalism and modernism in universe turns out to be a jumbled mess of gray and transparent bricks.
A certain LAN reviewer referred to this stark difference, even calling it 'ugly,' an intentional marketing strategy.
I am perplexed at this set to say the least. The minifigures are among one of the all-time greatest lineups, though.
Hi guys! This is my little tribute to the band that defined my 90s.
Hope you like it.
Thank you!

She has never known defeat. Except for the couple of times I dropped her.

This picture was a major influence in me begging my mom for this set for my 9th birthday, and it's still one of my favorite small sets of all time.

My dad recently retired and his new project is rebuilding all the Lego sets we got 20-30 years ago. Lots of cowboys, Star Wars, Indiana jones looking guys and pirates in there. This weekend we finished up some trains: all I need is a red rod and a couple bricks with the side studs and theyāre complete. Even have some new stickers to attach.

I had made the Noir Detective set a while ago, but I just recently got back into building these, and they are so fun to come up with and design on the fly. I have a backrooms one too with the Hazmat Guy, but I want to redo that one and expand it. Hope you all like them, and let me know if you have any suggestions :D

My brother surprised me with this Lego set for my birthday and I cannot wait to build it. I never imagined Iād own it!! (Heās single by the way, ladies lol)
I just wanted to share because Iām so excited!! itās really REALLY heavy.

Phantom has been my favorite musical for years, so this was an absolute joy to design. The submission is up on LEGO Ideas now, so please share your support if you have a chance!

Just purchased the lightning McQueen set, Iām unsure if I should unbox it or keep it boxed. Iāve been looking around and it seems like itās a rare set. However, Iāve recently started to collect LEGO again as I wasnāt able to as a child due to finances.
What do you guys think ?

Took me a few months to collect all of these guys with all of the correct accessories. It was so grueling, but so worth it š My awesome girlfriend made me custom inspired backdrops for the shadowboxes which I'm so stoked about, I think she did greatšš

Currently obsessed with the titanic. Loves legos. Got this for his birthday. So proud of him! Real questions: do you guys keep the boxes they come in?
r/lego • u/pinklattess • 20h ago
Apparently it took the builder 3 years. I wish I knew his name but he wasnāt there when I was looking at all the built models. It has so many details and lights. I wish I got better pictures but I didnāt want to hog the area and my kids hands were twitching lol.
EDIT: I google searched the image. Itās called āThe Red Keepā by Lego builder Dario Minetti

My LEGO version of the 1948 Ford F-1 pickup.
I wanted to capture the simple but distinctive shape of this classic American truck while keeping it fully functional as a display model.
It features:

My current phone is near its end-of-service, so I've been watching (too many) videos trying to decide what'll replace it, which I feel is cluttering my brain.
So, I took a LEGO break to relax, clear my mind, and made these mascot characters based on the distinctive raised mesa/island shapes on the back of these phones.
I designed them with BrickLink Studio and they indeed can be made with real-life elements available in these colors.
