TheOrcKing Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 There is a new website called New Elementary that goes in-depth about what new elements Lego is releasing and which sets they can be found in. I found out about the site way of Brickset in this news post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Sounds pretty interesting. Very unique from lots of different LEGO websites. The author has several good ideas about what to do with bricks! See pictures of what he came up with so far: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lego Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I looked around the website and it looks very interesting/unique. It really does stand out from the thousands of other LEGO blogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Old topic, new article. Here is nice glance over some of the elements in new colors from this year's summer sets have given us between standard bricks, plates, tiles, and finally modified parts in "This season's back-to-basics".

TheOrcKing Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 If you happen to know anyone with a case of "Lego makes so many specialty parts nowadays" or the classic "back in the day all Lego made were plain bricks" then perhaps you should point them into the direction of this article titled "When Lego was never just bricks". I found it to be an interestingly good read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grolim Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yeah thanks TOK, that was a good read. Some of those parts from the early days are pretty crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Yeah thanks TOK, that was a good read. Some of those parts from the early days are pretty crazy. I still have many of those old windows and oddball doors from the early Town & Castle sets and recall how seldom they were used in any of my builds back then due to their limited usage other than being just what they were. Granted they fit the bill nicely at the time but for the most part trying to make use of them was a real pain. All the piece types we have today are very versatile even the more unique ones. Look at how we construct doors today. You have a frame with notches allowing a universal door part to either open to the left or right towards the inside or outside. Now take that same frame and use some differently colored window panels. Check out all the layouts one can make with the tiny window frame part giving a house some character. I just think it's amazing how far the designs for pieces, which then correlates to the set builds, has progressed over the course of many years. Each part has a specific initial use yet can do so much more than only that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Here is an article that is somewhat of a review for next year's Creator 31028 Sea Plane but has more focus towards this fantastic new piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Here is an article covering how far Technic has progressed from the studded bricks of yesteryear to today's pins, axles, and panels titled "Technic(al) Matters".

TheOrcKing Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 A new article covering (almost) every single possible color LEGO has created and used (or not) over the decades in this very thorough color chart reference study. Sections of primary interest are the detailed timelines for certain colors and also detailed dissections for changes over time so slight who would have noticed without direct comparisons. There is even a little bit revolving around the near bankruptcy the company faced forcing them to shape up by condensing the hues and parts used almost right down the middle. It's a short read actually but the information is indispensable. Color Timeline by Brick Colorstream 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
