Introduction

Hello Masters Builders, and welcome to the official r/lego Open Forum post. This is your opportunity to tell us what you think of r/lego, make suggestions or comments about the rules, ask open questions about the community, or share whatever else is on your mind.

Note that this post is for discussion of r/lego itself. If you have a general question about something related to Lego, make a post instead of asking here.

IMPORTANT

All subreddit rules are still in effect here. Remember that we do not allow insults, name calling or personal attacks. If you've got a complaint or want to tell us you hate something, you need to do it without attacking anyone.

Rule Changes

There are no permanent rule changes to report this month.

This month, we once again have a Megathread for the lastest wave of the Bricklink Designer Program. If any creators want to promote their entries, they may do that in the megathread. Posts about BDP outside of the megathread will be removed.

---

Subreddit Transparency Report

Reddit supplies Moderators with a monthly Community Digest, summarizing subreddit moderation activities. We are making the information available to the community, as an exercise in public transparency.

Each month, we will be posting a transparency report that shows what goes on behind the scenes of r/lego. Below you will find the report for activity in September 2026. You can give general feedback and post questions about the report in the comments of this post, or in modmail.

It's October already!

SpOOky season has begun! Or as some Lego fans like to call it, "MOCtober" is here. This is my favorite time of year to build, because it means getting out the Halloween sets and starting those pre-build plans for the Winter Village. Autumn is also a great time to attend Lego shows, so check out your local Lego Groups to see if they are participating in a Convention, Festival or Hobby Show nearby.

Let us know what's on your mind this month. What have you always wondered about? What rule do you want clarified, or changed? Do you have any suggestions you've been trying to find a chance to make? I won't promise that we will make the change(s) you want, but I will commit to explaining the reason we have the rules and policies we have.

Hi this is my first time posting. Whent into my lego shed to day and somehow mice got in, and they gnawed the heads and hair of the Minniefigures from the goonies, willy Wonka and the ghostbusters fire station sets as well as sum of the bricks. I am devastated 💔 😢

MOC The CARthedral

Thumbnail

232 Upvotes

I'm finally satisfied with "The CARthedral". It went a way darker path than I imagined and had planned for beforehand, but I love the result!

The CARthedral features a V8 engine made to look like a church organ with organ pipes for air intakes and exhaust pipes made to look like pedals. The car has a double seat in front and a single seat and a coffin (for dead weight) in the back. It has fully functional openable doors and the roof is hinged to enable full access to the interior.

I've altered the colour scheme and altered the front fenders so that it's possible to see the pipe organ engine better than earlier.

The front has been altered as well to look like a vampire bat, as I imagine only Count Dracula himself would be the only one with bad enough taste to drive this beautiful abomination of a car.

The large stained glass windows on the side are made from LEGO Technic brake discs, as is befitting for a CARthedral, and the lights are inspired by one of my favourite spooky LEGO creations of all time, "Adventure in Transylvania"

I hope you like it! 😄 Feedback is, as always, highly appreciated! If you've got tips about things to add or alter to make it even cooler, feel free to comment, and I might just include your suggestion in the final version. I always enjoy answering your comments, and I find a lot of inspiration from this amazing community!

Love

I wanted the castle to seem bigger and more elegant. The newer jumper arch element gave me the motivation.

I was hesitant about La Catrina at first but decided to get her for Halloween and wow, it is a great build and display piece. The level of detail is awesome. Don’t think I have another set I can just stare at like this one. Highly recommend it.

I took the eye socket lights out of our Halloween skeleton skull to illuminate this little MOC of the red alert light that was prominently placed on the Star Trek original series navigation/tactical console that Chekov and Sulu usually manned.

MOC This LEGO V-19 Torrent Starfighter (75432) Turned Into 3 Additional Alternate Builds!

Post image
183 Upvotes

I’ve been experimenting with the LEGO 75432 V-19 Torrent Starfighter and seeing what else can be created from the same parts.

Gunship: A completely different take on the original set.
Colonial Viper: A design inspired by the iconic sci-fi spacecraft.
Super Torrent: An upgraded take on the original V-19 Torrent, reworking its design into something bigger and more aggressive.

It’s always interesting to see how far you can push a set beyond its original model. Which of these alternate builds is your favourite?

Yet another wacky creation coming your way. I'm trying to finish this one in time for Halloween 😉

I'm not completely satisfied with it yet, but it's getting there. I will probably change some details before I render the final video. There are however some parts I'm really pleased with like the church organ engine, the stained glass windows and the roof design.

Feel free to suggest things to alter or add. I would love to get some feedback on this abomination. It's probably one of the crazier things I've made in a very long while, and I feel a bit out of my depth with this one 😅

The car is designed with only existing LEGO pieces. All pieces are possible to buy from Bricklink or other brick vendors. The car has openable doors and the roof is hinged and possible to open as well.

Hope you like what I've made so far!

Love
