RPGer Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I dislike bagbuilding. You can't feel any pieces and it's hard to play with the bricks. Quote
LEGOman273 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I dislike bagbuilding. You can't feel any pieces and it's hard to play with the bricks. Then why are you posting in a thread about bagbuilding? I, on the other hand, enjoy bagbuilding for those very reasons. I do it for the challenge. Quote
woolie Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 It took a 28 hour marathon session and required various stimulants and anti-anxiety medications, but I have accomplished my masterpiece. Quote
Niku Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 You mean you opened the original bags and build it inside the bigger one, that is cool. Quote
Splat Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) I had another go at bag building (my previous bag build here). This time I bag built the 4433 Dirt Bike Transporter set. The set comes in two bags, and each one also has a sub-bag within. The first bag contains the 4x4 and the driver (I have him/her sitting in the driver's seat), and the second bag contains the trailer, two dirt bikes, and the mechanic. The bags were quite large so the build wasn't too difficult; the hardest part was keeping the dirt bikes in place on the trailer and getting the drawers in their frame (also on the trailer). I didn't apply the stickers as I couldn't put them on without opening the bags (and I don't usually apply stickers anyway). It also looks like I have the black/white helmets on the trailer on the wrong way compared to the picture on the box, but the steps inside the instruction booklet have them the same way that I have placed them I also bought the 10230 Mini Modulars set, and I was going to give bag building another try, but I didn't have the patience to put all of those 1x1 plates together inside a bag Edited April 10, 2013 by Splat Quote
Vindicare Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 It took a 28 hour marathon session and required various stimulants and anti-anxiety medications, but I have accomplished my masterpiece. I think that may be against the rules! But a very effective way of keeping it dust free. Quote
Galaxyconquest01 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 I'll try this to I might have to go to the Lego store this weekend though to get some new polybag sets Quote
AussieJimbo Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Nice work, Splat. And woolie, that is crazy but awesome at the same time. :classic: Quote
L@go Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I think maybe this brings another dimension to this topic... Quote
AussieJimbo Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Nice one. Interesting how it jiggles about in zero gravity. :classic: Quote
Vindicare Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I think I just beat LEGO. I have no intention of building the other four like this. My brain hurts. How did you open the two inner bags in the CC?! I can't get them. I really want to try this... Quote
nicoga3000 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 How did you open the two inner bags in the CC?! I can't get them. I really want to try this... Very very carefully, haha. It actually wasn't terribly hard. If I could explain it in words, I would (because I remember exactly how I did it!). The hardest part was manipulating the bag AFTER the pieces were out. You wouldn't believe how frustrating it was having it in there and taking up space/getting between things. Having the brick separator in there was also a poor decision on my part. I want to open it to use it, but I guess I'll just stick to my two green ones I bought ages ago. Quote

I just can't get the two sides of the small bags to separate. I pinch the bag(s), but then I can't feet the other side... I tried and tried, finally I just have in and opened the Cafe Corner one. I still have 4 tries. Quote

Bagbuilding is one of those LEGO curiosities that needs a wider audience! Edited March 5, 2012 by caperberry Quote

I tried and tried, finally I just have in and opened the Cafe Corner one. I still have 4 tries. Worked for me, all you need is patience. Also - one thing I learned from building-mini-modulars-in-bag is that one has to be careful not to destroy the outer bag. Once it starts ripping it's hard to stop it :/ Quote

On a side note, I love your MOCs. Edit: hooray for post count 1932! Edit, part deux: I'm happy, frustrated, exhausted and finger pain. I bag built Mini FB. I think I chose the wrong one to do, so many 1x1s stacked on each other. I feel accomplished though, and a better AFOL for it. Edited March 7, 2012 by Legocrazy81 Quote
brick god Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Here are my first two bag builds. Took me about 2-3hrs each mini modular to complete. With experience it has been becoming a lot easier. Edited March 23, 2012 by brick god Quote

Nice job. I bet that brick separator was a major pain to work around. My FB is still in its bag, I can't bring myself to open it. Quote

My FB is still in its bag, I can't bring myself to open it. haha it was, pieces gettin stuck in it and such. It actually had its uses to, like when I would missplace the little 1x1 plates by a stud or 2. Quote
Remus_Lupin Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) This is my only bag-building venture to date: Not so sure I'd do it again - it left a little cosmetic damage on the polybag in the form of minor scratches. Some are visible on the bottom-right hand side of the image. Edited March 27, 2012 by Remus_Lupin Quote
Cerator Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Hehe... Fun little topic! When I stumbled across the farmer, I had to try this, too. While not as difficult as the other bag builds it was my first try in this domain. BagBuild_big by Cerator at Flickr Quote
mrklaw Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Never thought I'd even contemplate this, but I recently ordered a bunch of mini star wars ships, so I might give it a go :) Quote
Roger Rabbit Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Sorry to bump up an old topic, but that appears to be what happens all the time with this thread.. Had a go at this with some (very) small sets and really enjoyed the challenge!! Edited June 30, 2012 by Roger Rabbit Quote
