How Do I Afford All The LEGO I Buy For Mocs? | Building A LEGO Star Wars City!

How Do I Afford All The LEGO I Buy For Mocs? | Building A LEGO Star Wars City! It's the first of the month so all my parts are coming in and I'm gonna talk a little about my process for buying and budgeting to be able to get as much lego as I do. I also have a lot of pick up work to do on the bridge and some in the droid base all coming at you via lego time lapse builds!

    The only reason I can think that all the lights would be out is that the wire from the expansion board to the battery pack is cut or pinched. That’s the one I would check over the rest. LMB has the best lighting products (from my experience) but pinching the cord is still something that happens. For the tall lights, buy extension cords and the 2 port expansion board to bridge the gaps for extra length, or the longest cords they make. Depends on the length you need.
  • @betterhawk2228
    I think you should make a small foot bridge (about 8 studs wide) that would be used for small cargo and pedestrians. It would off-shoot from a bit of the main bridge into a bit of the mountain or housing/buildings. The bridge could be spilt in half with there being a hole in the middle. Perhaps the clones could be trying to create a bridge across or a big shootout (that they couldn’t retreat from so it would be a lot of gunfire over the gap)
  • In the bridges wires for lights could run exposed through the wholes where the bridge has been battle damaged to show that some infrastructure remains while damaged
  • @StudStudiosLego
    You really should use the LEGO ikea boxes for the large support pillars under the city. They would save you a ton of brick, and from my experience with them, they can support a lot of weight. I think they are 12 bricks high, 32 studs wide, and 44 studs long.
  • @notworthyy
    You could add piles of rubble instead of snow to help cover some of the expansion boards
  • @Japavelin-yg1ue
    IDEA : Solution for your lighting the expansion board is right next to the hole so just cover it with snow- but have the snow falling a little bit. you wanted more snow and its a great idea! trust.
  • @BRICK.BUTLERS
    I’m still so impressed with the quality of these updates, you’ve really stepped it up this series
  • @detrick6969
    You could mount the expansion board next to the hole on the underside and have the wires strung along the edge of the opening exposed to add detail to the destruction
  • @johnmurphy2189
    LMB has a 2 port expansion board that is great as a ‘ jumper’ and you can also get longer extension cables to make them reach where you need to.
  • @BlyBricksStudios
    You should have half of delta squad in the droid base underground. And the other half in the droid army holding off more droids from entering the elevator.
  • @kyr_taap
    Tbh that one wire that is running at the damaged section is totally were it belongs. There are certainly wires running underneath that bridge. For the other ones I'm pretty sure that you can hide them beneath the top layer
  • @lokis7740
    For ur wire problem on the main bridge you could hide it beneath tiling and then for the hole, could use pieces to cover it which look like debris, e.g. more piping
  • @_Concordial
    Run two lengths and meet them at the very end of the bridge instead of trying to connect them all in a amalgamated pile of wires. This way you won’t have to fear wire getting exposed in the battle damage. This will, I assume, cost you more on the side of expansion boards but neatness over efficiency any day when it comes to MOCs like these. It would also presumably help with getting some experience in making them more modular and move ready.
  • @Quick-Silver206
    I definitely think the lighting should be less integrated so that maintenance is easy on it. Maybe you can run the wire through the rails.
  • @BJBrickStudios
    Your MOCs are all excellent examples that with Lego and your imagination the possibilities are endless.
  • @wetwillyis_1881
    I think a room, similar to the control room with the Muun in the 2003 clone wars, would be cool to see.
  • @Vor1ki
    I have any idea for how to help your bridge with stability, technical bricks to support it especially the art panels LEGO uses in their sets. Works pretty well hope you see this!
  • @anyapetersen3008
    I know this isn't based off of battlefront II og but I think that there would still be those turrets that are in that mission so I think that you should add those turrets if you want but just a suggestion keep up the great work love the content.
  • @user-hf4ok6us9b
    You could cover the expansion board next to the hole with rubble.
