| I'm one of the more prolific hackers (at least, I think I am...) First off...on tubing...it is SUPPOSED to be cut (I use 1/8" Vinal tubing, for longer runs...much cheaper than the Lego tubing) Painting-some very specific parts. I did the wheel rims (...)

| I tend to lean towards the "modifying is bad, mmmmkay?" camp, though I have done some in the past. I've used paper to reinforce the joints of a mech, and I've removed the cross from a 24 tooth gear on one of my technic projects, but those were both (...)

| I, for one, am an extreme purist, in that I never modify, paint, carve, decorate, or do anything else to my pieces. I don't even like to glue the pieces together (an only do so when shipping large models to clients, where the glue is necessary for (...)

| (...) No, I knew it was you, I just didn't want to make it a personal thing, so I didn't see the need to mention you by name. (...) No, what it does is make a new, non-LEGO created piece. Yes, this part seems as though it's going to be available in (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

No, what it does in this particular instance is, it makes a single use SPUD, the thrower arm, useful in a multitude of ways because it can now interface with anything that accepts a technic (...)

| (...) I'm with you on this. Except for string, and for DCC if and when it becomes available, oh, and couplers. I do cut tubing, but then the instructions sometimes tell you to. (...) Yep. Except what about defacing a common piece to make a rare one (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| Well, Dave, now you've gone and opened up a big bag o' worms. :D I think you'll find that everyone's level of "purity" is a different one. Personally, I think that purposely changing a LEGO piece in any way is just not right. I guess that puts me on (...)

| Ok, well, here's my $.02: I only mod bricks if the end result makes them *more* functional. F'r instance: I cut off one o' them ThrowBot thower-arms so I ended up with a ball joint with an axle on it... I could then use it for other things. LEGO has (...)

| Hi all. Just wanted to see if anyone has ever heard of building blocks called "The Little Architect"? They're not really Lego clones, as they have a quite different method of sticking together, but I thought I'd ask here anyway. They have a display (...)
