LEGO MOC Building 101 - You want to learn how to build MOCs, I’ve built a few MOCs, so I talk about a couple super important things that you need to know so you don’t make the same mistakes I did.
*This is just my opinion on how MOC building should be done. Obviously, there are many methods people can use to build MOCs and there is more than one way to make a good build.*

    Table scrap builds are a great way to look at pieces in new ways and build a small MOC quickly so you don’t feel overwhelmed

    Great video Firebird! As someone that's starting to get into MOC Building again for Brickworld Chicago, this video was very much needed. I love how you simplified the process especially when it comes to what you bricks should purchase when it comes to type, color and amount. As you know yourself, it can be overwhelming lmao

    Right now I'm making a kinda spooky like MOC, it's a trench with a few trees that are falling down, and one bigger open space, kinda like a crossroads between the trenches, there's a little bridge above it, I'm not sure if I will put some ground above the trench but I might, unfortunately I ran out of some bricks I needed, especially those 1×4 and 1×2 wooden wall pieces.

    (1) plan for the space the MOC has to exist. (2) plan who is the MOC for? A MOC tells a story so who is the story for and what story do you want to tell? (3) how much time effort and resources you need for a MOC. in a large MOC you can break a MOC into modular sections. (4) if the MOC is to be moved several times then plan and draw up a design of each MOC modular section which can be moved separately..

    You can also buy pieces of sets from other companies. Bluebrixx is a german Company (for example), selling all kinds of sets from different brands. They also have their own stuff which is pretty great. The castle bluebrick (Blaustein) is usually sold out due to the amazing design and also is great for parting out. Heck even the Discounter Lidl started selling brick sets a few years ago with insane deals. Their sets had a typical value of 3-5 cents a piece. Lego isnt a bad Brand at all, but if Lego isnt your only desire for sets and parts: Look around and see what other brands are doing. Bluebrixx for example has the startrek licence. Bought some of those for my Dad.

    @@OneCreath-nj2ef the companies? No. If hey make Lego looking figures? Yes, cause they have a trademark in the figure and some bricks (most aren’t protected though). I still buy them myself and you will not encounter any issues with buying fakes as a private citizen in Germany at least, however other shops and companies? Yeah, they get sued in Germany by Lego for that. Not even fakes, but actual other figs by other companies which doesn’t look like Lego figs. We had plenty of cases here in Germany in the last couple of years with that. Bluebrixx and Kiddi Craft are now releasing their own figs based in the lawsuits and technical issues Lego had with the other figs in the upcoming months. Panlos is making the kiddi figs, however we don’t know yet who will makes the Bluebrixx minifigs. Panlos is also probably to use these figs in Europe too, cause then they can sell their sets here without issues… if said figs are popular enough I assume. The presale already works good as far as I can see. The exclusive batch is already sold out.
