Adding To Your LEGO® Work Collection
LEGO® is a trademark name for those building blocks that we’ve all grown up to love. And it’s not really surprising that most adults even though they’ve outgrown these little toys, still continue collecting them and making them into creative sculptures. Indeed sometimes, LEGO® sculptures have become synonymous with adult hobbies. It is rare for a child to have a LEGO® work collection that he can list down and unlike adults; children rarely have the enthusiasm to commit to such a collection.
SO if you’re an adult, or maybe a child looking to expand your LEGO® work collection, then this is just the article for you. Although I don’t have the expertise to tell just exactly what a LEGO® work collection should contain, I might be able to give you a few tips as to what is a must need for LEGO® work Collections.
First of All, a LEGO® work collection isn’t complete without your base plates. You’ll need an extra large base plate, especially if you’re making one of those town models, an extra large base plates costs about 10 dollars, and you might be bale to get one for less at sales and flea markets. If you can’t find an extra large one, a large blue one will also be useful. This is for smaller creations.
A good buy if you want to add to your LEGO® work collection is townspeople, now that you have the extra large base plates, you’ll need something to fill it up with, and when you’re making a town, keep in mind that you need people. That is why for your LEGO® work collection, you might need the Town folk set, which costs, and I don’t know six dollars? This set has a pizza chef, bicycle, construction worker, jackhammer, fire fighter, and a cat.
For your LEGO® work collection, you can also buy the LEGO® idea book, since you’re just starting up, you’ll need plenty of ideas for your LEGO® work collection, start with those that are suggested and tested by the people at LEGO®, and its sure fire success, then afterwards you can move on to more complicated creations.
If you’re making large LEGO® work collections, its an essential to have lots of supplies, of course, you can’t really buy LEGO® in bulk, unless you go to a factory or something, but I find that rather unlikely. LEGO®s usually come in sets, and a good set to start a large collection, or a large creation would be the LEGO® bucket set. It costs about ten dollars and has about 400 pieces. You can buy lots if you’re making one of those large sculptures for your LEGO® work collections.
For landscape creations, you can create entire road systems with road plates; these have road line printed on them so that you can complete your life-like creation with life like roads.
Good additions to LEGO® work collections are build-your-own play-mats. You can mix and match them to create different landscapes for your LEGO® work collection.
And for those of you who are interested in electronics, a good addition to a LEGO® work collection if you’re bored, with the simple clasp and snap, you can buy sets of LEGO® Technic and LEGO® Mindstorms. These two types of LEGO® sets have electric moving parts, or interactive activities done with computers. Although these were really created for children ages nine to fourteen, I’m sure it won’t be hard for you LEGO® enthusiasts to find a way to make it more complicated than it really is.
