can you ID LEGO from a drawing? #lego #legos #legoaddict #afol #legomoc #toys #legobuild #legolife

I've helped a lot of people ID LEGO sets from photos they've sent me, but this is the first time someone sent me a drawing of a LEGO set!

Lesson: don't give up, take a well deserved break and continue

[sasi-justsilenca]

In Germany we have a saying: Sometimes you cannot see the forest because of all the trees". It means you are so deep into a problem that you cannot consider other POV's or look at it with a fresh angle.

The lesson: if you can’t find it in Lego then it might be mega bloks

[photondebuger]

Yeah someone said it already if you can't go anywhere take a break from it, breathe, recoup. More often than not your answer will come to you. It came to you in a store and you found it, great stuff there.

was gonna say its megablock. had one as a kid and wished lego would do the same. they kinda did iy with the dinosaur containers where the cap was for displaying the dino on

[PB-trze]

I recognized it, but couldn't name it till i saw megablocks, then i remembered it from my days working at toys r us.

Sometimes you have to stop working on a problem in order for your subconscious to figure it out. You're smarter than you think 😅

Lesson I take from this 'If after looking at something for too long, take a break and then come back with a fresh mind and eyes'

[Grim]

If you haven't already, could you explain why your glasses are the way they are?

I had the bucket as a hand me down. I remember submitting a picture of my creation of some space base with it as the landscape to the Lego magazine ~2005 and got a response back that it couldn’t be published because it used third party bricks. First time I realized that just because it fit didn’t mean it was Lego.

Honestly, this can help with so many roadblocks in life. When you’ve hit wall after wall on trying, the stress actually reduces your abilities. Stepping away from the situation and resuming normal life and coming back after it’s left your brain for a while allows you to see the situation with fresh eyes. It’s why for big papers and stuff they tell you to finish 2 weeks ahead of time & set it aside and then come back for revisions a few days before it’s due.

It applies to so many scenarios in life. Everything from learning a new skill to human reproduction.

Always take a break when you are stuck

[chemicalkid]

had this exact same bin as a kid!! grew up with it! the colors were a lot more faded though, i believe it's still somewhere around at my grandparents house

[adamsavestheworld]

No, i actually still got that bucket with that lid in storage and it official lego and its around 30 years old if you want me to sent pictures let me know and i remember you could turn the lid into a tank

[ethantrompert]

Sometimes when you are struggling it doesnt hurt to walk away and come back and look at it with new eyes and new perspective

[joshuawilson]

That actually made me remember that Lego container which is actually not Lego but yeah.

[icyclestick]

lesson is dont bash your head into a wall and keep trying if it isnt working take a step back first

[mbarretttt]

lesson learned: draw a blue handle next time

[Jason-jung]

I also had that bin! I remember using the bricks inside to build so many towers

[SandrA-hrzk]

I also had a mega blocks bucket when I was a kid. I used to make little christmas villages under the tree with it. It had pastel colored bricks and square plates that could hinge together. It’s one reason why I knew it wasn’t Lego.
