Sniff. 😢

[kind bear]

i hate this and love it at the same time

it’s too true

[narrow obsidian]

Yes... 😔

[subtle dawn]

I never had a lego break on me

[tacit otter]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-sponge-spunch-spinge-scream-gif-23394767

[runic island]

Relatable 🥲

[blazing maple]

I thought this was real for a second

But very nice look

Also I love that you managed to include a frog lol

[runic silo]

Half asleep Chris be like
Yes finnaly, a lego build with a frog

[narrow obsidian]

Never? Not even a brown one?! Lucky you!

[narrow obsidian]

It proves I achieved the goal, haha! Thank you!

[narrow obsidian]

I try to include a frog in everything I build... not easy, but fun!

[granite hornet]

[subtle dawn]

Nope, I have nicked, scraped and bent but never had one shatter or clean break. I guess I am lucky, on top of I am usually really gentle when building plus don't deal much with susceptible colors too often

[narrow obsidian]

WOW! Respect.

[runic silo]

I was building a car moc, and I was getting a chair piece, it was brown and it broke. First lego peice to ever break on me...

[blazing maple]

I've only broken 1 brown piece

A 1x4 plate

[narrow obsidian]

Just like the one I built! 😀

[blazing maple]

Yeah but it didn't break like that

Just some from the middle snapped off

On the edge

[narrow obsidian]

I had a tile break like that, I know what you mean

[runic silo]

It looks photoshopped

That's how good it looks

[blazing maple]

It's still usable

[narrow obsidian]

If we hide the broken side, why not!

Though some people get very creative with broken pieces...

[narrow obsidian]

Hihi, thanks! It's a render by the way, might be why.

[runic silo]

Oh

[blazing maple]

If you use it as extra detail...

[runic silo]

Or u could make it debris from a fallen cliff that fell on a lego person that simultaneously caused an earthquake, which caused a tsunami, which caused a flood, which wiped out 50% of fish in lego city's oceans, but the one detail that I can't forget, made Mr paws oof

https://images.app.goo.gl/j1SzNChvsrzNduMV9

Don't take that as advertising

Just a joke

[narrow obsidian]

Hahahaha! Good one @runic silo! 🤣

[fathom atlas]

you're always putting some frog in this are you? @narrow obsidian

[narrow obsidian]

Yep! I try to include a frog in every MOC I create. It can be tricky, but it is fun and people seems to like it. 😊

[subtle dawn]

I bet you don't own all the frogs in their available colors irl

[narrow obsidian]

No yet, not yet... but I am on a good start!

[subtle dawn]

Nice, would be cool to build a pond or something to display them all

[narrow obsidian]

I was planning to use my bonsai for this purpose 😅

But a pond would be adorable!

[subtle dawn]

It would 😌

[blazing maple]

How many colours do Lego frogs come in? And how many do you have?

[pastel anvil]

Same. Had me thinking, "Why post a pic of a broken piece?" Then it clicked, and I couldn't help but laugh at the brilliance.

[narrow obsidian]

Haha! I'm very flattered, thank you! 😊

[narrow obsidian]

On top of my head I have 11 colors already (green, yellow, grey, brown, coral, magenta, neon yellow, gold, pink, lime and white), and they come in 15.
Though, I heard that some orange ones exist, but were never released - I want one in my collection so bad! Also, I have 2 tints of gold while they are only supposed to come in one, weird.

[spark charm]

To true

[dense harness]

Omg this is so true

[pine seal]

A moc of a broken brown LEGO

[narrow obsidian]

Yep. 😄

[molten ravine]

genius

[quartz orbit]

I have seen lego break befor if you leav a few peices in a ziplock bag and it sealed for a few years it just falls apart

[strong glen]

frog

choco frog

[subtle dawn]

is that legit or just a rumor/myth, because someone I know is storing a ton of lego in 1 gallon ziploc bags....

[quartz orbit]

Not a rumor or myth it hapened to me

[narrow obsidian]

I didn't know this! Ouch! 😬
Could be because of humidity?

[quartz orbit]

Thats what im thinkin

It hapened to my ucs atsts foot it fell apart and i had to order parts for it

[subtle dawn]

Ah shoot. New fear unlocked

[quartz orbit]

Lol

[subtle dawn]

I think I can remedy this by punching holes into the bag

to let it breathe

[quartz orbit]

My aunt stores them in bags and all of them are so old

[pastel anvil]

I had a single piece break on me while I was trying to remove it from something I'd built. That's when I first learned about "brittle brown"

[hidden rampart]

I've had a couple tiles and cheese slopes crack.

[strong glen]

imagine they made a lego chocolate 😂

[bold sparrow]

That's what I call thinking outside of the box

[tranquil axle]

relatable

[zealous obsidian]

Most painful moc ever. So emotional and heartbreaking. (I freaking love it! Good job!)

[manic sedge]

The broken chips are very well done

[hazy briar]

ikr at first i thought it was real

[tired plover]

What is the frog doing

[narrow obsidian]

Pretending to be a brocken bit of a plate. 😂

[tired plover]

He broke the plate didn’t he

[narrow obsidian]

Oh, oh.... come here froggy... bad froggy, bad!

I didn't planned it this way, but it looks like you are right!

[tired plover]

[narrow obsidian]

Thanks for finding another meaning to my MOC, really fun to think about!

[vagrant owl]

totally relateable moc

[narrow obsidian]

That was my goal! 😀

[red grove]

This is what have happened about 38 times to me, mostly with 6x6 plates and many tiles. All either brown or a very old weak and faded blue.

[hollow agate]

Too realistic

[little furnace]

Finding these in a lego bin is painful

[hollow agate]

I can’t rebuild my geonosian starfighter, imperial V-Wing or 2011 droid carrier because of this moc

[gentle beacon]

how did you include a frog and make it look like it belonged there

[pastel anvil]

@narrow obsidian can make a frog feel like it belogs anywhere

[gentle beacon]

what about a mech

frog mech

[sterile hill]

someone give this guy a cake, he put the legendary frog!

[narrow obsidian]

With a lot of experimentation! LEGO frogs have a unique shape, very organic - I think the secret is simply to think of it as a shape instead of a piece representing an animal.

[narrow obsidian]

Mechs are not my cup of tea...
But @rotund tundra on the other hand have managed to make the cutest, froggiest little mech ever!

[gentle beacon]

that sounds cool

i gotta see it

its a sick mech wtf

altho

how does the frog use it

[narrow obsidian]

Hum... it must stick its tongue on the handles an pull! I don't know, haha, ask its builder. :)

[pastel anvil]

Humans are not meant to understand the way of the frog

[hidden rampart]

probably with his arms.

[modern knot]

damn this is a triggering sight

the lego frog is hilairous tho

[exotic arch]

I never broke a brown piece

Idk how

[modern knot]

i brok some brown clips

and my brother broke a monkey arm

and proceded to STEAL MY WOOKIE'S ARM TO FIX IT

evil

[keen tundra]

this makes me uncomfortable

[blazing maple]

How is this post still getting comments

[narrow obsidian]

No idea, but I am very grateful for it!
Thank you everyone for the feedback, I'm happy my creation managed to resonate with so much of you!!!

[grizzled kite]

I just realized that it was you who made this colonelcandy, now the frog makes sense

[blazing maple]

[tranquil crow]

lol the frog

very nice build

[dusty plover]

Rip old brown lego pieces

[mossy goblet]

I have never had this on a brown piece

Wierd because I've had it with grey and a brand new purple piece

[narrow obsidian]

You're lucky in a way. Brown pieces can be frustrating! 😂

[red grove]

Lucky you

[red grove]

must be old grey

[wicked plover]

Oof, that's such a mood. I really love the frog tho

Yes! That would be fun!

First you’ll need a hammer

And one of the long thin lego bricks

And then hit it with the hammer

[boreal mango]

And then you take an isograph and write ColonelCandy in a very pretty font.

Or would a rapidograph work better?

[narrow obsidian]

I don't know the difference actually

It's brittle too?? I knew dark red was, but had no idea about dark blue!

[jovial basalt]

yea

i have 3-4 brittle brown plates and 1 brittle dark red. all survive for like 10 years

and my local toy store had a lego sales sample where you can play with legos. and some stupid kid tore apart a 2x10 plate to make a 2x5 plate.

@jovial basalt, surely you meant to say LEGO Sets, right?

[narrow obsidian]

I would be very surprised! They would not be able to reuse the broken parts afterward and it gives a bad impression of the product they sell.
