Topic: Building Lego models inside the bags.

As those of you who are subscribed to me on youtube will know, I recently built a Lego set I got as a Christmas gift inside its bag.

It was a fun challenge, and I look forward to doing some more of this mini/smile

I'm obviously not the first one to do this. Have any of you guys attempted doing this? If so, what sets did you do?

Re: Building Lego models inside the bags.

When I get some more money I plan to buy more little sets that have all the pieces in the one bag and do the same. I want to try and assemble one of these Racers in under ten minutes!

Does anyone know if there's a record list for this type of thing?

Hahaha. Well done! It sure does look challenging, even with a small set.

It is better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

How creative.  It's been a long time since I've had a set with all the pieces in one bag, otherwise I'd try it.  In other words, it's probably better this way.  And now I have that song stuck in my head but can't remember the name...

Huh. Never thought of trying that. I might if I pick up a small set, though it's been a while since I bought LEGO anywhere but bricklink.

Maybe off topic but when I watched this assembling I remembered... I was about four or five years old. I couldn't even read or count an I've got that small racing cart as a gift from my mom. Ironically she needs to help me to assemble the cart. Today, I am over thirty years now and I still enjoy building and creating with LEGO. I think it is very helpful to take a little piece of his childhood in mind.

We are, the most adult childs on this planet. Let there be, more of us.

They do this at some LEGO conventions. Brickvention, which happens in Melbourne, has a timed build-in-the-bag contest each year. But I'd rather just tip all the pieces out and build it the normal way!

Re: Building Lego models inside the bags.

This Christmas one of my brothers and I did a 'build in the bag' race. (he'd gotten the city firefighter impulse set, I'd gotten a res-q kayaker.) I would have won, but after assembling the whole lot, I realized I'd forgotten to put the fig's lifejacket on. (In the scramble to rectify this, I undid all the tricky bricks. mini/lol) Should'a gotten a picture of the finished products. It was simply loads of fun though!

I never plan on buying anything when I go to the Lego Store.
Strangely enough, I always wind up finding something that makes me ditch those plans.

OK, I tried building the CG kayak impulse this way, and it was infuriating! Like Euphreana, I forgot to put the fig's lifejacket on mini/lol.

I built the tan car in "Shanghai Escape" in the bag. It took about 1 and a half hours.
I'll try to find some pics.
