Sticker Catalog

2008-10-14T09:41:00.000-07:00

Wouldn't it be cool if stickers were tradable on MLN? Or if you could draw in the Sticker Module with different colored pens?

Unfortunately we can't do that stuff in My Lego Network, but the next best thing is to use the stickers that we've got. Put together an awesome sticker module, and you'll get more clicks, right? And maybe get in the Top 10 Sticker Modules!

So I've put together a new Sticker Catalog showing all the available stickers. I've said where to get some of them , but there's a whole bunch that I'm not sure where to get. If you know where to find these stickers, use the 'submit tip' button and send in your tip. Thanks!

Make your Password Hard to Hack

2008-09-28T16:31:00.000-07:00

There's a new video on MLNTips YouTube site (aka MyLegoTips) that shows an easy way to make sure your password is strong.

If you use a weak password, someone can guess it and make a mess of your account. Don't write your password on a Post-It note, you never know who might see it and get ideas. Use this technique to make a strong password and keep it a secret!

Follow these rules to make sure you don't get hacked:

Make your password as long as possible, always use at least 6 characters.
Mix upper and lower case letters.
Include one or two numbers.
Include one or two symbols.

Getting to Rank 8 in My LEGO Network

2008-08-19T20:13:00.000-07:00

Ingredients for Brickota Totem Pole Masterpiece
- 1 Totemic Hawk
- 1 Totemic Mountain Lion
- 1 Totemic Owl
- 1 Totemic Rabbit
- 1 Totemic Snake
- 1 Totemic Turtle
- 1 Totemic Wolf
- 1 Wi-Fi Transmitter

Getting through this level on My LEGO Network is time consuming, but pretty straightforward. First buy the seven Pet Module blueprints for 1 Friendship Bracelet each. Then build the Pet Modules and get 100 clicks on each to harvest the seven Totemic blueprints.

You may be able to save some time (and clicks) by working together with other players. If you can trade Totemic animals, you may not need to collect all seven Totemic animal blueprints.

Construction Cost for Totemic animals:

Totals	30	30	20	6	14	50	26	19	17	75	55	90

To get the Pet Panther and Pet Bat Modules:
The Pet Panther and Pet Bat Modules are quite important when it comes to getting Purple and Green LEGO bricks. Click others players modules to try winning 5 bricks from each, and put them on your own page to grow 1 brick for every 3 clicks.

Send Achaki a Hypnotic Frequency Machine to find out the hidden networker name "Hokee". Send Hokee a Hypnotic Frequency Machine to get the Pet Bat Module blueprint and to hear the whole story about how he left the tribe. He will ask you to send Vihow a Red Flower. Vihow will ask you to send Hokee a Potted Plant. Then Hokee will send you the Pet Panther Module blueprint.

Getting to Rank 7 in My LEGO Network

2008-07-29T21:18:00.000-07:00

Ingredients for Enchanting Harp Masterpiece:
- 1 Mind Control Emitter
- 4 Hypnotic Frequency Machines
- 20 Platinum Albums
- 1 Electric Guitar
- 50 Orange LEGO Bricks

To Get Hit Singles:
Buy Solo Performance Module blueprint at JP Variety's page for 1 Yellow LEGO brick.
- Build it for 1 Microphone + 1 Acoustic Guitar + 5 Orange LEGO Bricks.
Then buy the Duo Performance Module blueprint at Sandee Starreyed's page for 2 Hit Singles.
- Build it for 1 Bass Guitar + 2 Microphone + 1 Electric Guitar + 10 Orange LEGO Bricks.
Or buy the Trio Performance Module blueprint at Seno Evel's page for 3 Hit Singles.
- Build it for 1 Drums + 1 Bass Guitar + 2 Microphones + 1 Electric Guitar + 20 Orange LEGO Bricks.
Or buy the Group Performance Module blueprint at Izzy Bop's page for 1 Gold Album.
- Build it for 1 Synth + 1 Drums + 1 Bass Guitar + 1 Saxophone + 4 Microphone + 2 Electric Guitar + 25 Orange LEGO Bricks.

Start with the Solo Performance Module to get a few Hit Singles. Then if you can rally together with enough friends, I recommend making the Group Performance Modules. The Duo and Trio don't cost as much to build, but the Group allows more Hit Singles per harvest. This is important because some clicks may be wasted if you don't harvest after every 15 clicks on the Trio (25 clicks on the Duo).

So team up with some friends and go click crazy on each others performance modules! A good place to find other players is at the Special Teams area on MyLEGOTips Forum.

Be careful how many times you click because the harvest limit is 5 Hit Singles (25 clicks) on the Duo, 3 Hit Singles (15 clicks) on the Trio, and 20 Hit Singles (100 clicks) on the Group. Any more than 25, 15, or 100 clicks is a waste (until your friend harvests the Hit Singles).

Convert your Hit Singles into Platinum Albums as you work through this level. It takes 200 clicks to buy the 20 Platinum Albums, so it's better to collect the plats as you go.

To Get Mind Control Emitter:
Buy Starreyed's Autograph at Sandee Starreyed's page for 1 Yellow LEGO brick.
The Autograph tells you to go to Rita Blisstow's page, she's a Hidden Networker.
Buy Hypnotic Frequency Machine blueprint at Rita Blisstow's page for 1 Starreyed's Autograph.
Send Hypnotic Frequency Machine to Seno Evel to get Secret Message 1
Send Hypnotic Frequency Machine to Rick Moon to get Secret Message 2
Send Hypnotic Frequency Machine to Izzy Bop to get Secret Message 3
Send Hypnotic Frequency Machine to David Lampton to get Forged Master Code Book blueprint.
Build the Code Book and send to JP Variety to get the Mind Control Emitter.

Additional Hint: You'll need 21 Circuitboards on the next level, so collect 210 extra Hit Singles before taking down the performance modules.

Getting to Rank 6 in My LEGO Network

2008-05-24T11:17:00.000-07:00

Ingredients for the Craftsman's Cottage Masterpiece:
- 100 Nails
- 1 Cottage Electrical System (50 Loose Sparks needed)
- 1 Cottage Plumbing (50 Pipes needed)
- 1 Cottage Foundation (50 Gypsum needed)
- 1 Cottage Roof (50 Nails needed)

The hardest part about completing this level is collecting Loose Sparks, Pipes and Gypsum. The strategy I used was to block everyone on my FriendList except Rank 5 players. Then I exchanged clicks at the Active Users Club. It's hard because you need to catch the items coming out of other players modules, and 50 of each takes a long, long time!!! Trades can also be made at the MyLEGOTips Forum in the Trading Zone. There will also be a Team Zone set up at the Forum where you can join forces with four or five other players.

To Get Orange LEGO Bricks:
Send Connie Crete the Digging Fine Receipt to get the Orange Mixing Truck Module blueprint.
Build the Orange Mixing Truck Module. The Gated Garden Module grows Orange bricks quicker, so you might want to skip the Orange Mixing Truck Module.

To Get Orange LEGO Bricks Quicker:

To Get Nails:
Nails grow on the Pet Golem, Pet Ball Lightening, and Pet Water Bug Modules. You'll need to put up these modules and exchange clicks with other Rank 5 players to catch Gypsum, Loose Sparks, and Pipes.

To Get Cottage Electrical System:
Send El Ectric a Form 20B to get the Electrician's Apprentice Gallery Module blueprint. After 100 clicks, you will receive the Electrical License.

FriendLists on My LEGO Network

2008-05-12T08:00:00.000-07:00

Should you have lots of friends or just a few?

I think I've finally decided that just a few friends is better than lots of friends. For one thing, it's easier to know your friends with a short friendlist. It's also easier to manage if you use the blocking/unblocking strategies. And really, not very many items come through even with a full friendlist. What do you think?

Blocking friends is a strategy to make it more likely that a small group of your friends (ie 2-5) will get a good chance to win items that randomly pop out when your modules are clicked. For instance, diamonds are sometimes sent out of the Dino Excav Module. If you've blocked all but 3 of your friends, only those 3 friends have a chance to receive a diamond.

Also, I've heard reports that it may be beneficial to block Networkers to increase your chances. I'm not sure on this, but it doesn't hurt to try! Let me know if you have experience with it.

Now don't be upset if someone removes you from their friendlist. There are lots of other players out there, come to the Active Users Club to exchange clicks with other players. It's easier to make trades there! I'm going to shorten my friendlist to only include players from the Active Users Club to give us better chances at winning items.

Anyhow, let me know what you prefer - long friendlist or short friendlist.

Finding the Secret Networker "You-Know-Who"

2008-05-11T08:48:00.000-07:00

Finding the secret Networker known as “You-Know-Who” isn't required to get to Rank 5, but it does help you get Orange LEGO Bricks quicker with the Gated Garden Module.

I'm not going to reveal his name here for those of you who want the satisfaction of discovering it for yourselves. For those of you who want to know now, here it is: “cunagbzrzr”.

Decryption Key:
a b c d e f g h i j k l m
n o p q r s t u v w x y z

Example: "uryyb" is "hello".

To friend “You-Know-Who”:
First friend Jen Juniper and mail her a potted plant. She'll send you the Phantom Orchid blueprint and instruct you to send Phantom Orchids to those in the Phantom Orchid Society (P.O.S.). The POS is made up of gardeners! Send to the gardeners!
Send a Phantom Orchid to Flora, Radia, and Jen Juniper.
1st Fragment says “Friend”
2nd Fragment says “...of...”
3rd Fragment says the real name of You-Know-Who.
Type the real name of You-Know-Who into the Search for User box to find the leader of the P.O.S. And friend him. Send him a Phantom Orchid and he'll send back the Seal of the POS blueprint.

Seal of the POS Ingredients:
- 1 POS Seal Fragment 1
- 1 POS Seal Fragment 2
- 1 POS Seal Fragment 3
- 5 Rough Rubies
- 5 Rough Diamonds
- 5 Rough Sapphires

Once you've made the Seal of the POS you can click other players Gated Garden Modules and you can build your own to grow Orange LEGO Bricks quicker.

Gated Garden Module blueprint cost: 10 Phantom Orchids
Gated Garden Module construction cost: 10 Phantom Orchids + 10 Purple LEGO Bricks + 10 Green LEGO Bricks.
Owner receives 2 Orange LEGO Bricks per click plus it grows 5 per day.

LEGO Club Magazine Badge

2008-04-30T05:54:00.000-07:00

There's a great new way to get tons of red, blue and yellow bricks! So many bricks you won't have to worry about growing bricks!!!!

My LEGO Network has added a new Rank 1 Networker and also three new modules. The new networker is Max, who was previously a half-built hidden networker. Now that he's complete, he's no longer hidden, and he's even in the Networker catalog!

You need to get the LEGO Club Magazine Badge to be friends with Max. You get the blueprint for this badge by subscribing to LEGO Magazine. Sign up at LEGO Magazine by clicking your country on the right side. If you've already subcribed, or your country isn't listed, the Club code is "MAGAWARD". Type this in to the Club code box at club.lego.com. Then click the "Get My Badge" button that will appear. Max will send you mail with the LEGO Club Magazine Badge blueprint. Collect the attachment and build the badge for 5 red bricks.

Once you built the LEGO Club Magazine Badge, you can now be friend's with Max, so head over to his page and Add to Friend. Now you can download the three module blueprints from his page:

LEGO Club Magazine Module, Rank 1 grows 15 red bricks per day, plus 2 for every click!

LEGO Club Magazine Module, Rank 2 grows 10 blue bricks per day, plus 2 for every click!

LEGO Club Magazine Module, Rank 3 grows 10 yellow bricks per day, plus 2 for every click!

You need the Badge to click these modules, but clicking them is definitely worth it. 2 bricks for each click! That's outrageous!!!! The hover tip says you get 1 brick for each click, but try it out. Right now you'll get two! And the player doing the clicking also gets a chance to win 1 brick for each click too!

This is good news! It's nice to see that LEGO is adding new stuff to MLN.

If you're looking for someone to trade clicks with, check out the MyLEGO Active Users Club. These new modules are now listed.

My LEGO Network Click Trading

2008-04-25T20:13:00.000-07:00

There's a new update to the MyLEGOTips Active Users Club. Now it's easy to exchange clicks or items with other players.

New Features added this week:

- Make Offer button added. Select a player who you would like to trade with, then click the Make Offer button to negotiate a trade.

- Trade Statistics are now displayed on the right hand side. This gives you a quick overview of how all your incoming and outgoing trade offers are doing.

- Listings now expire after a few days so any inactive modules / trade offers won't be shown forever.

- Request up to 100 clicks and/or items per trade. This gives you more flexibility with trade negotiations.

Forum added to MyLEGO Tips!

2008-04-14T09:56:00.000-07:00

Good news! Now you can exchange your favorite MyLEGO tricks and techniques with other players at the new forum.

Discuss any topics to do with the My LEGO Network website. Read through previous posts to find answers to your questions. Make suggestions about what you would like to see at the My LEGO Tips Active Users Club.

Secret Networkers in My LEGO Network

2008-04-12T06:37:00.000-07:00

How to tell if you've found a secret networker:
- The character must have a big N on it's avatar - that will make it a networker.
- The character must not be listed in the My LEGO Networker catalog.
- Hidden networkers will not appear in anybodys public FriendList - that's what keeps them hidden!

Here are the different types of secret networkers:

1. Hidden Networkers that are part of the My LEGO Network game play. You can find and friend them only after you get higher in the Ranks.

As you work through the levels, the first hidden networker you will encounter is "You-know-who". (That isn't his real name, but it keeps with the secrecy surrounding this character). He is not friendable until you are Rank 4, but finding his character isn't really required until you are Rank 5.

There are more hidden networkers that can only be friended from Rank 5 through Rank 10, including 5 Echo prototypes, but there's no point listing them here (or they wouldn't be secret anymore!)

2. NEW: These used to be Hidden Networkers but are now Regular Networkers that can only be friended by people who have converted their Club Page to MLN. It appears the Club Pages are being phased out now. Recently a Special Offer appeared at the LEGO club pages. Anyone with a Club Page can convert to a My LEGO Network page and receive access to the Sticker Preservation Affiliate. This set of hidden networkers was created to reward people who've been LEGO members for a long time.

Players who convert their old club page are given a set of Badge blueprints that allow them to join the Sticker Preservation Affiliate. These lucky players can buy stickers from these four (formerly hidden) networkers who belong to the S.P.A.:
- Patty Arch - founding member of the S.P.A.
- Zapp Chance
- Nora Stalgia
- Dusty
Go to http://play.lego.com/en-us/clubpages/migration.aspx to migrate your Club Page. (You need to be signed in for this web page to work)

3. Dead Letter Postman. This hidden networker makes me laugh! Check him out, anyone can friend him. Once he's your friend, ask him for a hint! (Thanks to josh333rus for telling us about this hidden networker)

4. There are a few half-built hidden networkers around also. They look to me like they were created during construction and early testing of MLN and were just never cleaned up. Type in Max, Simon, or Jamie in the 'Search for User' box to go to their pages. (Don't get too excited, it's nothing special)

Note: Max is no longer a half-built secret networker. He's is now a Regular Networker in charge of the LEGO Club Magazine Badge!

Let us know if you find any others!

MyLEGOTips Active Users Club

2008-04-05T21:33:00.000-07:00

My LEGO Network may be fun and challenging to play, but I think it could use some improvement when it comes to trading items and clicks. I'm currently building a website called the MyLEGOTips Active Users Club. The concept is to go to this website and negotiate a trade with another My LEGO Network player. Then, once an agreement is reached, the actual trade can be completed in MLN.

Currently, the Active Users Club website allows you to list any of your modules that need clicking. Other players can select your listing and be redirected to your MLN public page where they can click your module. I plan to expand this to allow trade offers and counter-offers.

Try it out at http://www.mlntips.com. Be sure to register with your MLN user name so that other players can be redirected to your MLN public page.

Getting to Rank 5 in My LEGO Network

2008-04-04T21:13:00.000-07:00

Ingredients for Jeweled Triceratops Masterpiece:
- 10 Rough Sapphires
- 10 Rough Diamonds
- 10 Rough Rubies
- 50 Green LEGO Bricks
- 50 Purple LEGO Bricks
- 30 Dino Scales
- 3 Dino Horns

To Get the Jeweled Triceratops Masterpiece blueprint:
It takes 500 clicks on The Dinosaur Excavation Module to get the Jeweled Triceratops blueprint, so it's probably a good idea to build that module early.
Buy The Dinosaur Excavation Module blueprint at Dr Killroy's for 5 Green LEGO Bricks.
Build The Dinosaur Excavation Module for 10 Green LEGO Bricks and 10 Yellow LEGO Bricks.

To Get Green LEGO Bricks:
Buy the Prehistoric Fern Module blueprint from Jen Juniper for 10 Yellow LEGO Bricks.
Build the Fern Module for 20 Blue LEGO Bricks + 10 Yellow LEGO Bricks.
It grows 1 Green LEGO Brick per day, plus 1 for every 5 clicks, so get someone to click on your module to get the Green Bricks faster!

To Get Purple LEGO Bricks:
Buy the May Pop Purple Popper Module blueprint from Jen Juniper for 10 Yellow LEGO Bricks.
Build the Purple Popper Module for 20 Blue LEGO Bricks + 100 Red LEGO Bricks.
It grows 1 Purple LEGO Brick per day, plus 1 for every 2 clicks!

To Get Dino Scales:
Buy Protoceratops blueprint at Digger's for 10 Blue LEGO Bricks.
Build the Protoceratops for 10 Purple LEGO Bricks + 10 Green LEGO Bricks.
Find someone with a Dino Grazing Module Rank 1 for a chance to win 1 Dino Scale.

NOTE: Be careful not to click on a Dino Ambush Module, Rank 1 which looks very similar to the Dino Grazing Rank 1 or you'll lose your Green LEGO Bricks. Hover your mouse on the module to check the description before clicking. The ambush module has the title “Dino Grazing Module”, but it is on the second line. Real modules have the title on the top line in blue.
NEW NOTE: Unfortunately this trick no longer works. Now the ambush module looks exactly the same as the real module! I tried clicking one a couple times but never lost any green bricks so I'm not sure how many you may lose. As soon as you click one, the hungry dinosaur pops out, so it's easy to see the ambush when you first click one.

To Get More Dino Scales:
Buy Stegosaurus blueprint at Shadow's for 5 Purple LEGO Bricks.
Build the Stegosaurus for 10 Purple LEGO Bricks + 10 Green LEGO Bricks + 10 Dino Scales.
Find someone with a Dino Grazing Module Rank 2 for a chance to win 10 Dino Scales.

To Get Dino Horns:
Send Dr Killroy a Solar Power Cell to get the Dino Grazing Module Rank 1 blueprint.
Build the Dino Grazing Module, Rank 1 for 5 Green LEGO Bricks.
Win the Dino Grazing Module Rank 2 blueprint.
Build the Dino Grazing Module Rank 2 for 10 Purple LEGO Bricks + 5 Green LEGO Bricks.
Win the Dino Grazing Module Rank 3 blueprint.
Build the Dino Grazing Module Rank 3 for 10 Purple LEGO Bricks + 20 Green LEGO Bricks.
Win 1 Dino Horn at a time on the Dino Grazing Module Rank 3.

To Get Rough Diamonds:
Buy The Dinosaur Excavation Module blueprint at Dr Killroy's for 5 Green LEGO Bricks.
Build it for 10 Green LEGO Bricks and 10 Yellow LEGO Bricks.
For every click, this module may send out a Rough Diamond to someone on the Owners Friend List.

To Get Rough Rubies:
Send Digger a Dino Scale for the Dino Bone Sticker Module blueprint.
Build it for 10 Blue LEGO Bricks + 1 Dino Scale + 5 Yellow LEGO Bricks.
For every click, this module may send out a Rough Ruby to someone on the Owners Friend List.
To Get Rough Sapphires:
Send Viper a Dino Scale for the Dino Bone Gallery Module blueprint.
Build it for 5 Blue LEGO Bricks + 50 Red LEGO Bricks + 1 Dino Scale.
For every click, this module may send out a Rough Sapphire to someone on the Owners Friend List.

MyLEGOTips on YouTube

2008-03-14T07:15:00.000-07:00

A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Well, not if it's too grainy and you can't read the words in the picture...

I've uploaded a couple videos to the MyLEGOTips YouTube channel. One is about general info for finding tips about the My LEGO Network, and the other is about finding Networkers, interacting with them and a little bit about hidden Networkers.

Now, don't get too excited! The videos are kinda grainy, so it might be hard to read the name of "you-know-who" (Rank 4 reference to a hidden networker). Anyway, it's my attempt at tinkering with some different technologies.

Cheers!

Special Items for Beta Testers

2008-03-11T07:18:00.000-07:00

In case you were wondering about how to get Pet Glitch Modules, there's no point getting too excited unless you were a Beta Tester for MyLEGO Network, but then you probably already know about these special modules and items.

MyLEGO Network was given a test run during the last few months of 2007. When MLN officially went live in early 2008, all the user accounts were reset to Rank 0. Anyone who participated during that testing period was given a Beta Tester Badge. Look just under Kludge Dropcolumn's avatar picture to see the Beta Tester Badge.

Only users with this Beta Tester Badge can be friends with Kludge Dropcolumn. And only friends of Kludge Dropcolumn can buy the Pet Glitch Module Rank 2 blueprint on his page. I'm not sure where the Pet Glitch Module Rank 1 blueprint comes from. (maybe beta testers got it automatically?)

Beta Testers can win Beta Bugs by clicking on a Pet Glitch Module Rank 1. They can also win Blue Screens of Sadness by clicking on Pet Glitch Module Rank 2.

All these items are unattainable for those of us who were too slow getting started at the MyLEGO site ...Sigh... Next time I'll be sure to read LEGO announcements more closely!!

Getting to Rank 4 in MyLEGO

2008-02-24T07:14:00.000-08:00

Ingredients for the Speedy Motorcycle Masterpiece:
- 5 Victory Trophys
- 2 Tires
- 1 Engine
- 80 Blue LEGO Bricks
- 40 Yellow LEGO Bricks
- 1 Nitro

Consider adding another Water Mill Module (or 2 if you can stand the wait) before getting too far into this level. I seem to be constantly short of blue bricks.

To Get Yellow LEGO Bricks:
Skip the Scrap Yard Sticker Module in favor of the Solar Collecting Module. The reason is that the Sticker Module makes the same amount of bricks and costs about the same, but it takes up 3 times as much space.
Buy Solar Collecting Module blueprint at Radia's for 7 Blue Bricks .
Build Solar Collecting Module for 30 Blue LEGO Bricks + 1 Potted Plant + 1 Honey Pot.

To Get First Car Blueprint:
Buy Engine at Scrap Yard Joe's for 5 Blue Bricks.
Buy Solar Power Cell blueprint at Radia's for 1 Engine.
Build Solar Power Cell for 1 Mason Jar + 1 Yellow LEGO Brick.
Buy Stunt Car Rank 1 blueprint at MacRacer's for 1 Solar Power Cell.

To Get Tires:
Buy Merchobot Module at Scrap Yard Joe's for 1 Giant.
Build Merchobot Module for 1 Engine + 25 Blue LEGO Bricks + 2 Yellow LEGO Bricks + 1 Solar Cell.
Someone on your friend list needs to put up a Merchobot. Everyone click it to send out 3 tires randomly.

To Get Even More Yellow Bricks:
Buy Engine at Scrap Yard Joe's for 5 Blue Bricks.
Send Radia an Engine to get BFF Module blueprint.
Build BFF Module for 5 Victory Ribbons + 5 Potted Plants + 10 Yellow LEGO Bricks.
If your friend also builds a BFF Module, you can both double your Yellow Brick intake.

To Get First Track Blueprint:
Buy Engine at Scrap Yard Joe's for 5 Blue Bricks.
Send MacRacer an Engine to get Stunt Track Module Rank 1 blueprint.

Order of Tracks: (skip Race Track Rank 1)
Stunt Track Rank 1 - costs 1 Stunt Car Rank 1 to build
Race Track Rank 2 - costs 1 Race Car Rank 2 to build
Stunt Track Rank 2 - costs 1 Stunt Car Rank 2 to build
Race Track Rank 3 - costs 1 Race Car Rank 3 to build
Stunt Track Rank 3 - costs 1 Stunt Car Rank 3 to build

To Get Masterpiece Blueprint:
Build and race all the tracks in the order listed above. Win on your own Stunt Track Rank 3 to get the Victory Trophy blueprint. Buy the Speedy Motorcycle Masterpiece blueprint at Radia's page for 1 Victory Trophy.

To Get Victory Ribbons:
You'll need 60 Victory Ribbons to complete this level. The masterpiece blueprint costs 1 trophy {10 ribbons} and building the masterpiece costs 5 trophies {50 ribbons}. The key to completing this rank is to collect ribbons as you work through the tracks. You need to build each of the tracks in order to get the Victory Trophy blueprint. (see Order of Tracks above). Each track costs a car to build, but before spending your car on building your track, go find someone who's already built their track and race them. For each car you build, be sure to win lots of ribbons before spending that car to build the next track. Hope this makes sense, I'll add a more detailed post about Getting Victory Ribbons soon.

See Items to Rank 4 for locations of other miscellaneous car parts.

Mailable vs Unmailable MyLEGO Items

2008-02-23T07:57:00.000-08:00

The differences between these two types of MyLEGO items seems straight forward enough: mailable items are brown, unmailable items are grey. Mailable you can put up on MyLEGO Trade Modules or send to your friends. Unmailable can be expensive and take time to get.

Important difference when using an item to click on a module:
- mailable items get used up.
- unmailable items do not get used up.

No difference when using an item to build a module:
- mailable items get used up.
- unmailable items get used up too.

For example, Worker Bees are mailable items. If you click on a Bee Battle Module, it costs one Worker Bee and the bee gets used up. You need to keep making them as you battle.

However Treason Beavers are unmailable. You need to make one Treason Beaver before you can click on an Electric-Dam Module, but they don't get used up. Once you've made one Treason Beaver, you can click a Dam Module as many times as you have votes without needing to make more Treason Beavers.

Giants are also unmailable items. Once you've made a Giant, seek out someone who has a Millstone Hurling Module up. Click it as many times as you have Millstones and win Blue LEGO Bricks (hopefully). After accumulating a pile of Blue LEGO Bricks, spend the Giant on building your own hurling module.

Getting to Rank 3 in MyLEGO

2008-02-20T22:16:00.000-08:00

Ingredients for Giant's Hat Masterpiece:
- 80 Lumber
- 40 Blue LEGO Bricks
- 1 Giant (30 blue bricks + 40 red bricks)
- 80 Red LEGO Bricks
- 1 Millstone (25 red bricks)

Hint: Make full use of Gallery Modules Rank 2 to grow red bricks when you start this quest. Later when you get a few blue bricks, spend them on Factory Modules Rank 2 for maximum red brick growth.

To get Lumber:
1. Buy a T-Square from BartleBee for 10 Potted Plants.
2. Send Milmano the T-Square for Lumber Mill Module blueprint.
3. Buy Millstone blueprint from Milmano for 10 Honey Pots.
4. Build Millstone for 25 red bricks.
5. Build Lumber Mill Module for 30 red bricks and 1 Millstone.

To get Blue LEGO Bricks:
1. Build a Millstone and send to Pel Tonne for the Electric-Dam Module blueprint.
2. Buy Beaver blueprint from Pel Tonne's page for 10 Lumber.
3. Build a Beaver for 2 Lumber + 5 Red LEGO Bricks.
4. Send Milly P.Enstock the Beaver to get Treason Beaver blueprint.
5. Build Electric-Dam Module for 30 Lumber, 30 Red Bricks, 3 Beavers.
6. Build 10 more Beavers to setup the Electric-Dam Module.
7. A friend must build a Treason Beaver (12 Lumber + 5 Red Bricks) and click the Dam. After 20 clicks, the owner gets the Water Mill Blueprint. A flood of 20 Blue LEGO Bricks may be sent to a random friend on the owner's friend list.
8. You need to build a Treason Beaver and click on a friend's Dam to get some Blue Bricks sent your way. Blue LEGO Bricks get sent out to random people on the Electric-Dam owner's friendlist whenever someone clicks the dam so check your mail.

Important note about unmailable Treason Beavers

To increase Red LEGO Bricks:
1. Buy Factory Module Rank 2 from Milmano's page for 8 Blue Bricks.
2. Build Factory Module Rank 2 for 5 Lumber + 5 Red Bricks.

To increase Blue LEGO Bricks:
1. Buy Quixotic Gallery Module blueprint from Don Brickote's page for 3 Blue Bricks.
2. Build Quixotic Gallery Module for 5 Blue Bricks + 5 Red Bricks.

To increase Blue LEGO Bricks even more:
1. Build Water Mill Module for 60 Lumber + 80 Red Bricks + 1 Beaver + 1 Millstone.
2. It takes a while to save up enough items to build this module and although it's not required to complete the rank it sure is good for growing Blue Bricks. For every 2 clicks from a friend, this module produces 1 Blue Brick.

To get Giant blueprint:
1. Click on a friend's Quixotic Gallery to randomly get a Heroic Story.
2. Send Don Brickote a Heroic Story to get a Wind Mill Tilter blueprint.
3. Build the Wind Mill Tilter (5 Blue LEGO Bricks + 8 Red LEGO Bricks)
4. Click on a friend's Wind Mill for a chance to win the Giant blueprint.
5. If you don't know anyone with a Wind Mill, go to the public network and keep clicking “Visit a Friend” until you find someone.
6. Otherwise your friend needs to buy the Wind Mill Module blueprint from Milly P.Enstock's page for 10 Blue Bricks and build for 35 Lumber + 15 Blue Bricks + 1 Millstone.

To get the Giant Hat Masterpiece blueprint:
1. Buy Millstone Hurling Module from Milly P.Enstock for 20 Blue LEGO Bricks.
2. Build a Giant for 30 Blue Bricks + 40 Red Bricks.
3. Once you have a Giant, build some Millstones and click on a friend's Millstone Hurling Module for a chance to win some Blue Bricks.
4. Build a Millstone Hurling Module for 30 Blue Bricks and 1 Giant.
5. Get a friend to click your module to win the Giant's Hat Masterpiece blueprint.

Gather the final ingredients and build the Masterpiece... That's it! Another rank complete.

MyLEGO Search Aggregator

2008-02-19T06:43:00.000-08:00

I added a custom search box on the right side of this page. It's targeted to return results specifically from sites that are relevant when looking for MyLEGO clues. For example, if you search for "myLEGO blue bricks" in google, there are lots of unrelated results. Type the search "blue bricks" into the search box here and all the results are from websites and forum threads related to My LEGO Network.

Unfortunately all the content here at My LEGO Tips doesn't appear in the search results yet, because it's not indexed by google, hopefully it will be soon. To search through MyLEGO Tips, use the search box at the very top of this page.

Let me know if there are other websites/forums that should be included in the custom search and I'll add them to the internal search list.

Getting Red Bricks, Part II

2008-02-14T07:52:00.000-08:00

NOTE: There's a new way to get red, blue and yellow bricks quickly. Read the LEGO Club Magazine Badge post.

On my previous post Getting Red Bricks Quickly, I described the Gallery Module Rank 2. It grows 15 red bricks per day and only costs 5 bricks to build. That's great – but wait... There's an even better module, the Factory Module Rank 2, that grows an astonishing 50 red bricks per day!!! That's 2 bricks an hour! I really, really need four of these on my home page.

Of course, there's a hitch. The blueprint (on Milmano's page) costs 8 blue bricks and blue bricks don't come easy. You'll need to be Rank 2 and chasing after the Water Mill Module before you'll see any blue bricks. But as soon as you get 8, getting that blueprint should be top priority!

While you're waiting for those blue bricks, start designing with LEGO Digital Designer 2.0. Download it from the LEGO Factory page, and put together several fancy creations. Upload your creation to LEGO's website directly from the LDD application. There's a button along the top toolbar for doing this. The uploaded models go through a similar process as LEGO Gallery photos. Someone at LEGO has to check your model before it can be displayed in your Factory Modules.

Once that's done, cha-ching! 50 bricks a day.

If you know other ways to get bricks quickly, please let me know!

Getting Red Bricks Quickly

2008-02-11T06:51:00.000-08:00

NOTE: There's a new way to get red, blue and yellow bricks quickly. Read the LEGO Club Magazine Badge post.

Starting out on MyLEGO Network can be hard because of the need for so many red bricks. If you only have one LEGO Tree on your home page, there's only so much you can do in a day. And buying more LEGO Tree's is expensive (51 red bricks!) so adding trees takes a long time too.

The trick is use the Gallery Module Rank 2. It displays any Gallery photos you have uploaded, and grows 15 red bricks per day! This is different than the Gallery Module that you start with by default. That one doesn't grow red bricks, it just displays your Gallery photos.

Not only does the Gallery Module Rank 2 grow bricks faster than the LEGO Tree Module, it is also much cheaper at a cost of only 5 red bricks to build. Stuff your home page with as many Galleries as you can fit and you'll have an endless supply of red bricks!

So where do you get the blueprint you ask? You need to make friends with an obscure Networker called F.Stop Clikzgerald and send him an apple. He will reply with the Gallery Module Rank 2 blueprint.

Of course the key to making the Gallery work is to have photos uploaded to your Lego account. If you have never done this before, don't worry, be happy. It's quite easy to do. First you need photos of any LEGO contraptions you have made. The picture cannot include yourself or any people or any competing products to Lego, such as K'Nex, PlayMobile, whatever.

To upload, go to LEGO Club Cool Creations and click the upload link on the left. I'm not sure what the naming rules are, but for me it only worked if my creation name was all one word. It takes a couple hours for someone to check out your creation before you can display on your page. Once they're checked out, the Gallery Modules are ready to grow!

HINT: It takes a few hours (or a day) for someone at LEGO to check your photo. Don't wait to put the Gallery on your page. Even though it may appear blank, red bricks are accumulating. When your photos are finally ready, you will get a big pile of bricks to start!

The cost for the Gallery blueprint is 1 red brick (1 apple) plus 5 red bricks to make each Gallery. That's a lot better way to get started than paying 51 red bricks for a LEGO Tree Module!!

Getting to Rank 2

- use jar and bee to setup Hive Module
- wait two days before harvesting because it will cost to setup again. Hive will produce 10 honey pots per day to a maximum of 20 honey pots per harvest.

To Get a Drone Bee:
- send red flower to BartleBee to get Bee Battle Module blueprint
- build Bee Battle Module (cost 10 red bricks, 5 red flowers, 1 honey pot)
- build 1 worker bee (cost 4 red bricks)
- use worker bee to setup Bee Battle Module
- after someone battles, click the down-arrow button on the module to collect the Drone Bee blueprint

MyLEGO Network Overview

2008-02-05T06:54:00.000-08:00

My LEGO Network is a "social networking" website made by LEGO that went live January 2008. You can set up a buddy list and select pre-written messages, but the interactions between real people is quite limited.

The interesting part of this website for me is gathering and building items and gaining rank. It's like a giant interlocking puzzle-maze! There are various items and blueprints located around the network, you can buddy up with networkers (automated characters) and send them attachments to get blueprints in return.

There are 10 Ranks in total, you start at Rank zero and get to the next Rank by building a Masterpiece. First you need to find the Masterpiece blueprint (a networker will give it to you after you send him something he asks for). To build the Masterpiece, you'll need to accumulate a variety of items/blueprints, so to make progress you need to chase around trying to achieve lots of mini-goals.

At the early stages, everything costs red bricks which grow on LEGO Trees. You start with one LEGO Tree module for your home page, but it would be a good strategy to buy the LEGO Tree Blueprint for 25 red bricks from Farmer John, then build a few Tree Modules (50 red bricks + 1 apple). This will take some patience over a couple of days as the red bricks grow slowly, at a rate of 10 per day. Once you have a few trees on your home page, things will progress a little faster.

This isn't a fast paced game, for sure! It seems like the designers intended to limit the amount of time per day one can be logged in. Once your daily supply of red bricks is spent, you can tinker a bit customizing your home page, but there's not really much more to do but wait until tomorrow when more bricks will be ready for harvest.

With this blog, I'll try to map out some of the item combinations required to advance in the Rankings. It's a kind of checklist for me as I tinker on the MyLEGO site, and hopefully it'll make it a bit easier for you too!
