Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do physical LEGO Bricks come with the order? A: No - our Sets are PDF Instructions and a digital Stud.io file only. You will be responsible for buying your own bricks to physically build these sets. 

Q: How much do the bricks cost, or is there a way to get an estimate before buying? A: This is a question we get all the time, and unfortunately it is very tough to answer. It depends on multiple things including which Bricklink store(s) you order from, if you buy new or used pieces, what pieces you already have, how many pieces are required, taxes and shipping costs to you, if there are Bricklink coupons active, import taxes (if international), etc...

We cannot control Bricklink pricing, it changes all the time, therefore we can't give estimates on our site! All of our recent builds are optimized to utilize easy to find and relatively inexpensive pieces, when possible, but we also do not skip on quality builds just to save money on parts - we try and make our builds as realistic as possible, which is what we're famous for! We no longer respond to emails about price quotes, thank you for your understanding and happy building!

Q: What is the best way to buy the specific pieces? A: Easy! All of the files come with a Stud.io file, which can be uploaded directly to Bricklink.com. Here, you will be able to buy all of the bricks specific to each build!

Q: How do you make the logos and patterns on the builds? We use an Inkjet printer, and printable sticker paper. Works very well! The two we use are: 

• LABELS
• PRINTER 

Q: What do I use as a base for these builds? A: That's entirely up to you! These builds are created 'baseless', to allow you to integrate them into your city wherever it makes sense. That said, the LEGO Classic 32x32 stud baseplate works well for most of our builds. 

Q: I lost the file after downloading, can you resend a download link? A: Unfortunately, due to the nature of these products, we cannot. That said, reach out to us, if you are a common customer we can give you a discount code. 

Q: Why do you use Stud.io rather than LEGO Digital Designer (LDD)? A: We like Stud.io's integration with Bricklink - it allows for easy purchasing of bricks. We've also found it to be more up-to-date with pieces and parts.
