I just finished my first ever Lego set, the insect (+botanicals) collection and I absolutely love them and want more. Lego itself doesn’t seem to have anything more in terms of the insects and my pitiable googling only results in articles, videos, and reddit threads about the same box.

Is there somewhere to find people’s personal builds with parts lists and instructions?

    Other random LEGO question: Is there any website that I can upload a picture of something to it, and it will create LEGO instructions/create a piece list for me? I’d really love to have/build a LEGO version of The Ark starship from The Transformers, but I don’t think it exists.

    There is an AI tool where you point your camera to a pile of bricks and it gives you a ton of different build ideas and instructions. Idk the name but maybe chatgpt knows

      Yeah I remember that. I tried it out and it was fairly crappy. They were touting that you could just photograph a pile of bricks, but they recognised only a few of them that were completely visible and on top. I believe there was an option to add blocks manually to your inventory but ain’t nobody got time for dat

        I saw a youtuber using it once but never use it myself. Thought it could be helpful if you only have a limited amount.

      I’ve read (and written) a fair amount of garbage, but I’m pretty sure this is the most hilariously useless response I’ve ever seen. Congrats!

      You might be thinking of brickit. I have never used it myself (i have downloaded it though) so I have no idea if it works.
