As AFOLs, there’s a lot we take for granted when it comes to knowledge about LEGO. Recently, while helping my son with a build, he asked me what one of the printed symbols meant in the instructions, and I realized just how many symbols there can be in one LEGO instruction booklet. When newcomers or children come into the hobby, it can be confusing to figure out what all this means. Below, I’ve gathered 12 symbols from LEGO instructions that I could find in current use and written what they mean. I was also curious about how well they translate, so I assembled an impartial panel to scientifically measure the symbols’ effectiveness. And by scientific panel, I of course, mean I asked my three boys, aged 3, 5, and 7, what they thought the symbols meant. Symbol 1 - Simultaneous Builders LEGO has recognized that people like to build together, so...

The LEGO system is inherently great for solid structures such as buildings or cars. Once we look past that though, challenges pop up – and that is where it gets interesting. Today we are taking a look at techniques to create clouds and smoke, fumes and haze. And once you’re done with this article, it might just turn out to be nothing more than smoke and mirrors! This article is based on some of Bartu Elci-Ozsoy’s brilliant archival work. Bartu painstakingly curates a collection of flickr galleries, each highlighting different techniques and ideas to help craft MOCs of a certain theme. If you ever find yourself stuck with a build, Bartu’s galleries will likely have a solution! Staying Classic With how much nice parts usage (NPU) gets celebrated, sometimes it’s best to keep it classic. These builds show off just that: It’s hard to resist a classic and this cloud of dust...
