Dr Kilroy Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Hehe, nice idea! :) I'll try it when I'll got a new set. ;) Regards, Dr Quote
Commander_Rob Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 I must say, I haven`t done much in-bag-building, in fact the only thing I remember putting together in the bag is my chrome Darth Vader . That boat is impressive though, I guess I´ll try something like that when getting a new set. Quote
Millacol88 Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 We've already got a thread on this. Inconspicuous beat you to the Venice boat too. Quote
Topsy Cret Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Ah yes... Building a LEGO set inside its bag. Do you know what I did last Christmas? I built EVERY SINGLE sub-model of the two 2009 advent calenders... Inside its bag. Unfortunately, I neglected to take pictures, as I merely built the models that way as a morning exercise... I own you all. Just thought I should get that out there. Quote
Izzy Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 We've already got a thread on this. Inconspicuous beat you to the Venice boat too. Cool! I'm sure someone will be nice enough to merge this for me! Just when I thought I had an original idea! Hahaha! Not really... I thought there was a thread somewhere but for the life of me I could not find it! Quote

That sounds an awful lot like a challenge to me... Edited January 31, 2010 by Dennimator Quote
Inconspicuous Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Indeed, I did beat you Cutlass Iz! I can also confirm that you have the correct extra pieces. Quote
Rick Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 I once tried it with an impulse set... got annoyed enough to not try again. Nothing beats 'feeling' the Lego when you build. Quote
dr_spock Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 I built this one in the bag. There were two pieces that weren't packaged in the bag. Keeping it in the bag help prevent little kids from choking on the little pieces, n'est-ce pas? Quote
RileyC Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) Man I needed to get an impulse set and try this now! Your Indy one Inky must have been annoying with all the little pieces. Edited February 1, 2010 by Roncanator Quote
Izzy Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Hey I did that one too! Hahaha! I think putting the studs on the jumper plates, in the last steps was pretty damn hard, those studs are slippery little suckers. But I did find that the parts I thought would be the hardest like the tap pieces were pretty easy actually. Quote
Piranha Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 No, but I will next time I get a set (that is applicable of course) Quote

Siegfried Posted February 1, 2010 Author Posted February 1, 2010 Cool! I'm sure someone will be nice enough to merge this for me! Just when I thought I had an original idea! Hahaha! Not really... I thought there was a thread somewhere but for the life of me I could not find it! Do you mind if I merge them? Otherwise we'll get more and more people posting quotes from that topic! Quote
Izzy Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Please do Sieggy! Thanks a million! I think I will try to do another next time a have a few free hours. Sucks that the little red sports car doesn't have a bag in a bag, I will still try that one I think, but it won't have any of the lights or fancy bits. Quote
Siegfried Posted February 1, 2010 Author Posted February 1, 2010 Please do Sieggy! Thanks a million! Gee I feel like a dolt. I just realised that you said "I'm sure someone will be nice enough to merge this for me!" in the post I quoted... I need a holiday... Quote
Izzy Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 That's okay Sieggy, we all have those days! Take a holiday in April and come to the EB Event... hmmmm? So I did build the sports car... well as much as I could with out the separate little baggy. It took about 15 minutes tops. Sorry Zuloo, do you mind if I send you this set built? Hahahaha! It is still MISB, Mint In Sealed Box Bag. Quote
dr_spock Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 So I did build the sports car... well as much as I could with out the separate little baggy. It took about 15 minutes tops. That looks like the aftermath of a sport cars going under a semi-trailer truck. Quote
prateek Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 That looks like the aftermath of a sport cars going under a semi-trailer truck. Especially with the missing head. Lego cars should really start having the windshields and roll bars over their heads so they don't get hurt Quote
Ras 74 Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Exactley my thought Looks like a terrible accident happend there. A nice try though to build the sportscar. However this is not how this idea is ment Quote
Legononymous Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I was pretty new to collecting LEGO , still am compared to some here. Just had a few sets and while on the way home from buying Pirate Survival put the little pirate together in the bag. I think that's the one I did. It's nothing spectacular but I at the time thought it was funny. I couldn't wait until I got home and didn't want to lose any of the pieces in the car. So didn't open the bag. Quote
Toa_Of_Justice Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 I managed to build my 8072 Sea Jet in the bag. I even modified it to have lights on both sides. That is not very evident in the picture though. Basically, what I did is mount the lamp holder underneath the vehicle and put a clear 1x1 round plate on both sides of it. To fill in the place where the lamp used to be, I added the extra gray 1x1 round plate (to mirror the other side). Finally, I added the extra lime 1x1 round plate to the bottom of the Sea Jet to balance out my lights up front. Full Resolution Version (3072x2048, ~3 MB) Who knows what lies beyond the mouth of that easy-chair-cave... Enjoy! -Toa Of Justice Quote
metalandi Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Wait..you mean you built that INSIDE the bag without opening it, so this is kinda like a ship in a bottle? My god, you must have WAY too much time, but it's awesome for sure Quote

I have merged your topic in here, since your topic is very much related to an example of bag building. Quote
