      I will count myself lucky for the 10 languages that are available! Thankfully most of the Danish LEGO fans I’ve met can read and speak flawless English .

  2. Heyo,

    Very noob here. Got the lego advent wreath and I want to create a winter wonderland for it for next year to display. Oh, and of course ad onto. Silly question where does everyone get just plain old legos. Not sets…. and maybe basic building ideas. (Ie landscaping like hills,trees,water stuff like that. I’m just use to kits,) Tanx in advance!!! Happy 2021 ~Holly

      Holly,
      bricklink.com is one of the best places to buy specific parts. Otherwise, you can find deals on used LEGO on Craigslist from time to time.

      Good Luck!

    I want to build models of container homes with an Architectural Lego set. Is this possible with any of the sets?

    • Tom Alphin says:

      You would probably be best suited with the (now retired) LEGO Architecture Studio set, assuming you don’t mind building in just white. Otherwise, your best bet would be generic “Creator” boxes containing a range of parts and colors, or ordering the exact parts you need on BrickLink.

      —Tom

    Love your labels!!! – could you please add in one for 43720? Seems to be missing, unless it’s there and I just can’t find it.

    Thank you!
