I'm working on watching your videos from the beginning. Its fun to see how your city has changed and how your content has changed. You get better every year Bricksie. Keep up the awesome work. How do you feel your life has changed since the beginning? Did you think you would be where you are when you first started?
The middle shelf, the one you can't move, is like that for stability. The whole idea is ingenious really. You have an amazing collection by the way. Very nice. Congrats
I had heard from another channel that you can use washers between the Billy bookcase shelf brackets and it gives it just enough room to fit the third baseplate. It might be worth a try!
Really enjoy your videos and content. Not sure if you have Dollar Tree near you in Canada but they carry the off brand building blocks. They have 32x32 base plates for $1.25ea here. They are inexpensive enough to not feel bad about cutting a row of studs off to fit your IKEA shelves.
this is honestly the biggest Lego room I've ever seen l don't think anyone has a Lego room bigger than this one I can see why he worked so hard on bringing to what we all see before us today
I enjoy watching your videos and look forward to them each and every day. As a suggestion, the wall behind the amusement park has room for a shelf, although it would be a huge pain to get in there and put in brackets. You could then build like the tan wall you sample showed us, along the back of the railroad track and up to the lower shelf, about six to eight inches tall. Holy crow that would be a ton of building. I did notice in an earlier video you mentioned having five police stations, I'm not sure if they are all separte sets, but Iremeber there were two across the street from one another. That sound like the Starbucks in downtown Vancouver. They are three stories tall and are kitty corner from each other on Robson St. Keep up the great work, give the family a hug from me.
ha! just watching your videos from 2020, as you bought this house and started to create the room and the city. a long journey with finding out, what is the best for you and your room. good job!
You can easily add shelves to your cabinets by using your scraps. Just cut two pieces to the height you would like your shelf then place them on there sides on each side then place your shelf on top. You can easily stack theses. Maybe place double sided tape to hold them against the cabinet side. You most likely would not need this though.
What do you do with all the boxes from your Lego sets? Do you keep them in case you want to resell sets or do you thrown them away as you know you’ll be keeping the sets
I just went to a Bick convention yesterday, really fun experience. I got to meet some people from brickerbuilds there and I actually bought the mosquito in amber set from them. Super fun build and a really fun convention. Needless to say I'm already looking into tickets for Brick world Chicago 2024.
Great organization. Found your video while looking for ideas for my grandson’s room. I hate the fact that it is so hard to dust the Lego’s and the shelves he has because they are out in the open and collect lots of dust. I will continue to look to see if I can find glass covered shelving or acrylic. I need something that keeps the dust out but it is a nice, see-through display for his room.
Hey Jordan you have made one heck of a good setup have to say is pretty awesome. Have a thought to run by you with the adjustable wall shelves you put up around your city lay out. Where you have the extra wall channel for the shelf mounting brackets you could get some white vinyl tape or something of the like to cover up the parts not used and blend into the walls better. One other thought I had was with your floor shelves what if you were to get rid of those and put up all the wall shelves to where you would have the maximum storage area and on inside corners be easy to run wires for led lights throughout. You could have various widths of shelves to accommodate everything and have much more flexibility on setting things in place. With you waiting a year or whatever for getting a warehouse space (which don't blame you as wouldn't rush into it) I feel you will soon be limiting your creativity for running out of space. Love what you do and happy to see you include your family time is awesome to see your little ones growing up so fast. Wishing you only the best.
I know the frustration of the 1 stud difference on the billy bookcase width vs 3 baseplates. I have a few modulars on mine and recently converted to mils for them so I could create a custom 31 stud wide plate for a MOC. Major pain to work around but the MILS allowed me to work around it
What do you use to hold the shelves up. The Ikea store is so hard to navigate it took me a minute to even find the shelves themselves. I can't seem to find the pegs to hold the shelves online.
It's funny watching these videos of other lego collectors overseas as where I live nz we don't have ikea or Walmart and the sorting and shelfing is quite limited😅
I am thinking about combining Kallax 2x4 on the side to increase storage and then placing plywood over the top. Have you considered that for your set up? You have so many legs that could be converted into kallax.
it was so nice to meet you at bricks in the six. our parts are separated by colour in a 10 drawer cart and our lego is displayed in our city.We dont collect sets that are not geared for a city.
Hey Bricksie was just watching this video and as you showed the bulkhead shelves are empty I remember you saying you need more space for brick heads. You could maybe do some massive custom built platforms like you have done but long ones on a bulkhead shelf. They could be 4-5 tiers tall and go one length of the shelf you’d get loads on there!
Hi, you could allways look into adding a curtain track of ikea and add that to the underside of the melamine, a curtain would cover up you table legs but you could allways pull the curtain open when going under the city tables.. just an idea, keep it up !
The shelving units have to have a fixed shelf to prevent skew. You don,t want a loaded bookcase deciding it wants to be a parallelogram with obtuse angles. Keepin everything 90 degrees is your friend.
i have a suggest ... make a video as times-laps for evolution of your lego city and lego room ... a mix from start until today ... with notes of year n month
1. Would you ever considerer making a floating island over the lego city near the medieval area? 2. If you were to sell old used lego sets, where would you sell them? Because I have some kind of old lego city sets and lego movie 2 sets that I want to get rid of.
Hi Bricksie - I recently rediscovered Lego and value your vids for inspiration and tips, thanks! My Q is on wall art, specifically the world map which I recently bought. How do you hang these? I've strung the flowers mosaics and the Great Wave but not sure the map will hold that way?
Nice explanation of the systems you use. Have you thought about painting the raw wood frames that hold your city WHITE? The dark legs disappear but the tan seems unfinished. You could go color crazy and build a 5-6" mini "Bricksie wall" to match your support post. Or attach the graffiti panels you and members made a while back?
Laser level. $50 for a green laser level and you will master leveling 30 tables all at once on the first try. Also don't use construction lumber for the horizontal pieces because it will expand and contract with humidity changes. Plywood only for the supporting members, construction lumber for the legs is ok as it won't change lengthwise.
I use the IKEA Ivar system for my displays. They’re free standing, solid pine, and a great depth and length while being fully customizable. Because they're pine, you can paint and stain them however you want
Bricksie, Ive just discovered your wonderful channel and love everything I've watched. My question is about your steralite drawer system. Is there a way you could describe or showcase in more detail how you sort your bricks? Each drawer seems to be by color, but do you do color then smaller bins inside those with different shapes? Do you have drawers for different "themes' despite color/shape? What about rare or odd shapes and character pieces and accessories?
The deep ones show just how low quality Ikea can be. Even with just 5-15lbs of Lego sitting on the deep shelves, they're all warped/sagging in the middle. I personally hate the look of particle board. It's basically disposable furniture.
1:31 Isn’t that where your Electric Panel is located?? You really should have access to that! 🤦♀️ 2:41 I believe that shelf is necessary for stability. 😉
Ask Bricksie: Could you by chance partner up with a local bricks & mini figs such as the the one in Calgary and have a them rent out a space within your commercial property (if and when you may get it) to sell product and mix in some of your merch and your own product as well? Or even partner up with some local Bricklink sellers and some areas within the commercial property allocated to them and they can sell product while you retain a certain percentage of profit with rent out space? Just a thought on a possible way for extra income. Would love to hear your perspective and business insight on that.
The only way I would allow my husband to spend that much money on a hobby is if he matched the exact same amount into a Roth IRA because when you die, all that stuff is only worth a fraction of what you paid for it. I buy a lot of Legos after market from people trying to get rid of them, so I'm only paying a fraction of the cost. Plus, you can always go online to look up the books and put the items together yourself if you already have a lot of the parts and just order the ones you're missing. All my stored Legos are so much more concise because I stack and rack all my Legos by design and in rainbow color order so I know exactly what I have instead of piled in a bin. I think I'm the only collector who does that.
Hi Bricksie, I wonder why you don't hang up your UCS sets like Star Destroyer & Super star destroyer on the ceiling? You get Much more space for your dioramas
welp thanks for this video time to get the Bestå that i needed to turn my room 100% IKEA furniture ... i really need to stop watching this videos for my wallet health 😂
Make sure if you go into a Container Store that you announce "I can't contain myself!" The staff love hearing that =)
LoL to funny 😊 😅😅

How do you clean your Lego city and stop dust?
How often do you dust and clean everything?
How do you clean it alll!!!!
Great video.very helpful for me. Thanks
ha! just watching your videos from 2020, as you bought this house and started to create the room and the city. a long journey with finding out, what is the best for you and your room. good job!
Love this thank you sure has helped me design my new room
I was wondering how many sets you have and how many loose pieces you have from PAB.
I'm excited for some changes to the Lego city ❤
What! Missed opportunity to get IKEA to sponsor this video lol
can you fit a ucs venator in the billy bookcase?
Did you anchor the bookcases to the wall?
Hi. Did you fix the Ikea Billy Bookcase to the wall?
Have you ever used glass cabinets for displaying help with the dust
Awesome Lego video!

Whats the chance you can post a tutorial making the brickhead displays?
how do you clean the dust that accumulates?
After you build a set, how do you store the box? Do throw away the box and all the step bags? Do you keep only the more expensive set boxes?
What do you do with all the boxes from your Lego sets? Do you keep them in case you want to resell sets or do you thrown them away as you know you’ll be keeping the sets

He made a video on that. He vacuums everyday and other steps to keep dust off. It's crazy expensive.
@@GrumpyPetedo you know the video title
@zefeng_zefeng0135 How to Clean and Dust Lego is the name of video. He vacuums once a week. I need to do that. Haha
Is the SHIELD helicarrier sturdy enough to hang over pop culture street?

Could you display your Lego on the front of the city under the tables in display like cabinets
He could but he wouldn’t be able to crawl under
@@ceepally other than the parts where he crawl under
@@callum-td4bz I guess he could! Maybe it wouldn’t be as visible so he doesn’t do it
@@ceepally they would be right at the front though
How do you build your mills plate?
What do you use to hold the shelves up. The Ikea store is so hard to navigate it took me a minute to even find the shelves themselves. I can't seem to find the pegs to hold the shelves online.

Could you post the part number for the Sterlite wide white drawer units? There are several different 3 drawer units on Walmart.
I copied the Besta island, to have room for the UCS millenium falcon. Had to go through a lot of your videos to find the name
For someone who has not a whole ton of sets would you recommend only getting one Billie book case shelf or should I go all out and buy two?
Nice video.
Can you post the links to the ikea shelving if possible?
What would you do different when you stray over on building a Lego city/room
Hi, how many deph have that ikea billys shelvs, do you think that 26cm could be ok for marvel sets?
it was so nice to meet you at bricks in the six. our parts are separated by colour in a 10 drawer cart and our lego is displayed in our city.We dont collect sets that are not geared for a city.

cut a 1/4 deep slot, the depth you need above your shelf to side the plate into it
Just noticed you had a live today Dec 30th and its not posted on your channel as a previous live. Where do all your live shows goto?!
I wanted to fit 3 modulas on 1 shlef in by billy case and I found it so frustrating that they are like 2-3 milimiters to short in wide xD
Useful video
Thanks
how much dis the lego cost altogether
What happens when you have to move them plus move to a bigger location
Do you get a lot of dust?

Next question is how do you keep the lego room clean? What filter do you use to keep out all the dust?
Check out how I clean my Lego:
th-cam.com/video/fPmAVwzec10/w-d-xo.html
I also have a large air purifier and mini hand vacuum now as well.
How tall is your lego city table? By the video looks about 2 to 2 1/2 feet?
Do you have issues with dust? What do you do to avoid that?

You should put you bigger displays on the bottom shelves and top ones and put the small ones at eye level
omg What did I get myself into ? First of all, I need a big house before I can shop for any of these ..... LMAO
Question: I’m moving soon- what are the best ways to pack and move Lego sets without taking them completely apart? Thanks!
Get pallet wrap

Unrelated to Lego but what do you think of the TV show Letterkenny?
