James' Train

James who has Asperger's syndrom at eight years old badly wanted The Emerald Night Train from lego. When his parent's found out it was $100 and for kids ages 11 and up they decided he could get the set if he saved up his own money. After two years, James had finally saved up enough money to purchase the set. He looked for it, and was devastated to find out that lego had stopped producing the product. He and his parents looked online, but the only ones they could find were $200. James' parents feared that the sets might be missing pieces, but were determined to get him the set, even if they had to buy it piece by piece. Meanwhile, James wrote a letter to lego explaining his situation. At first, all he received was an apology letter, this was hard for James to take in. Right before James' birthday a package, addressed to him, arrived in the mail. It was The Emerald Night Train.

Lego Kfol / Afol / Tfol Terms

LEGO Glossary

AFOL

Adult Fan of LEGO. The most common term used to refer to LEGO fans who are adults. Generally pronounced to rhyme with “hay-foal.” See also ALE and ALH.

ALE

Adult LEGO Enthusiast. Some LEGO fans prefer to be called enthusiasts rather than fans, attempting to avoid the perceived stigma of the word “fanatic.” See AFOL.

ALH

Adult LEGO Hobbyist. Another alternative self-descriptive name preferred by some LEGO fans over AFOL or ALE

Bandwagon

A passing LEGO fad, such as cave racers or IATTAR.

Bignette

A LEGO scene on a defined base that is larger than a vignette. See alsoDiorama.

Billund

Billund, Denmark. Headquarters and primary design center for The LEGO Group.

Brick-Built

A LEGO creation or portion of a larger creation that is composed of multiple LEGO elements even when a larger, pre-fabricated LEGO element or custom accessory may be available. Solving a LEGO problem through brick-built means is generally respected more than using a prefabricated or custom element.

BURP

Big Ugly Rock Piece. A large, pre-fabricated LEGO element generally available in gray and frequently included in LEGO castle sets. More experienced LEGO fans often encourage other builders to use brick-built landscaping rather than BURPs.

C-C or CC

Classic-Castle.com. A LEGO castle fan site with an associated online community, the Classic-Castle.com Forums.

Cheese Slope

A LEGO element with a 33° slope, 1 stud by 1 stud wide and two plates high (or 2/3 of a brick high). Part number 50746. Useful for adding fine detail to LEGO creations. Named after the fact that yellow and orange pieces look like a wedge of Cheddar cheese.

Clone

Construction toys “compatible” with LEGO created and sold at lower cost, designed to compete with LEGO brand building bricks. Considered off-limits by most LEGO fans.

Cracklink

A descriptive name for BrickLink, referring to the addictive nature of being able to buy individual LEGO elements and minifigs in whatever quantity the buyer wants.

CSF

Classic-Space Forums. An online LEGO space fan community on Classic-Space.com.

Custom

A LEGO creation or individual element that uses non-LEGO parts or modified parts, including decals, paint, or accessories from third-party vendors like BrickArms, BrickForge, and Big Ben Bricks. Contrast withPurist.

Dark Ages

That period in a LEGO fan’s life when he or she sets aside LEGO in favor of school, dating, motor vehicles, and other non-LEGO pursuits.

Diorama or Dio

A large LEGO scene or a LEGO scene built on an irregular base. See alsoBignette and contrast with Vignette.

Draft

An activity common at LEGO club meetings, in which LEGO fans each bring a copy of a LEGO set, sort out all of the LEGO elements, and take turns picking the parts they want. An easy way to get the parts you want in larger quantities without buying multiple copies of the set yourself. Read more on SEALUG.org.

FBTB

From Bricks to Bothans. A LEGO Star Wars fan site and online community.

Half-Stud Offset

A building technique that allows a LEGO fan to build without regard to the standard alignment of studs on a plate. See also Jumper Plate

Greebles

Pseudo-technical detail added to a LEGO creation to enhance its appearance. Frequently seen in LEGO space and mecha creations.

Illegal

LEGO building techniques that break the “rules” for connections between LEGO elements used by official LEGO set designers — particularly connections that stress the LEGO elements. For example, inserting a plate between the studs on a brick.

Inventory

The list of LEGO elements that are included in an official LEGO set. Several LEGO fan sites host set inventories, including Peeron andBrickLink.

ISD

10030 Imperial Star Destroyer. A large LEGO set frequently used as a scale reference for very large LEGO fan creations. See also UCS and Parts Pack.

LEGO building techniques that follow building guidelines for official LEGO set designers. See also Illegal and Purist.

Legos

Oh no you didn’t! Technically, the official plural form for more than one element of LEGO is “LEGO® brand building bricks”. That’s ridiculous, though, so most LEGO fans refer to one or more bricks as “LEGO”, following the grammatical convention of “fish” and “sheep.”

LUG

LEGO Users Group. Initially used to describe a local or regional LEGO club that met and interacted primarily in an offline or “real world” context, the term LUG has been extended to include virtual and even ephemeral groups of LEGO fans, such as JLUG, ChiefLUG, and KiethLUG. Many LUGs now also have an online presence, further blurring the line between traditional LUGs and online LEGO fan communities.

MOC

My Own Creation. Any LEGO creation designed and built by a LEGO fan without instructions. Generally pronounced “mock.”

MOCFodder

A set that you buy strictly for the pieces, rather than because of the set design. The pieces are meant to feed your MOC building, hence the name “MOCFodder”.

Sigfig

The minifig version of a LEGO fan that he or she uses in online communities as an avatar, from “signature minifig.” Sigfigs may or may not resemble the person physically, as LEGO fans used to interacting with each other online discover at LEGO conventions.

SNOT

Studs Not On Top. A building technique that places LEGO elements on their sides or even upside down to achieve the shape or structure the builder wants in their creation.

Swooshable

A quality that allows a LEGO creation to be picked up and flown around a room as the builder makes flying noises.
