   Hello all,

62 Bricks is a new site that has recently been re-tooled to be a fun way for builders to share their creations with other fans and builders. Upload pictures of your models and let visitors rate them on a simple scale from 1-20. New and top-rated models are featured on the front page and linked at other sites around the web. No cost, registration optional. Check it out!

http://62bricks.com

I have to ask, what would make this site stand out over other sites which do much the same thing?

Ease of use, for one thing - there’s no need to register to use the site

Also, the site is deliberately not meant to be a “community” site - there are no forums or comments. Other sites (like this one) do that well already, but for some this is a barrier to entry.

I personally love to browse the MOC sites where someone puts up fifteen views of their newest creation, but I think there’s a niche for the more casual browser and builder who loves LEGO but doesn’t necessarily want to commit to joining a site.

Please try it out - I’m happy to hear all feedback.
