Has anyone ever tried to file these plates? Trying to convert a train table to a Lego table and was planning to purchase the plates for the base.

I have never had an issue. I have cut them up some they can be used as pond and streams.

I was able to cut into pieces for a project that I wanted to build four different city blocks. Edges turned out fine. No real sharp edges to be concerned about. Easy to do.

To my knowledge they do not coordinate with Magnatiles, but I have no experience with Magnatiles. Better ask a shop that carries them.

If you mean the smaller, regular sized legos, then yes, these plates are for those. Although, we still have some Duplos and those will lock on the plates, also.

These plates--and they come in various sizes and colors (for example check the great LEGO Education Small Building Plates Set 4646267) will work with all Lego "proper" products. Lego has other lines, such as Technic and Duplo, and these would not work with those (Duplo is for toddlers and has its own plates).

Wonder if they were the bricks made from China then. There's a forum on Brickset.com that tries to point out the differences between the bricks manufactured in China vs. the ones in Denmark or elsehwere. Would be a little disappointed too if the minifig is manufactured in China too (the Collectible figures are).

Yes but it kind of depends on the size of the set you have; multiple plates may be needed. As a suggestion, I would find a thin board or some other surface to gorilla glue the plates to. I have a 2x3 table made of these plates and it works great for everyday building or use with sets.

I bought the items below for my grandson, I don't know which one he used. LEGO Education Large Building Plates 4570274 (4 Pieces) by LEGO Education

You know- cost wise- you are better off making a regular plate and shoring it up with dirt or rocks. BTW- I collect pretty stones etc and embed them in mine- also have a special one that has the grandkids handprints with ages on it.

You should never glue LEGO. It destroys the value of the set, and essentially turns it into a poorly shaped, jagged, and more expensive version of some other toy you could get somewhere else.There are so many better ways to get a cruddy version of a train set... Just don't glue it!

I'd check ebay for extra tracks. There's one auction up there currently for about $18...another is asking $25, which is probably a huge ripoff, but keep checking, from time to time. Also, PM the person setting up the auction, they might be willing to put it up at a different price if it doesn't sell the first time. Amazon also sells straight LEGO train tracks, so that might be your best bet. $20 and done.

I would try Toys R Us, Ebay, or possibly even here on Amazon. I think you can even re-fit them with either the duplo size as are the original ones you said cracked or even the small lego square inserts. Hope this helps.....

No, a building plate is not necessary since these are free standing Legos for table or floor. For carpeting I would suggest a piece of cardboard or the building plate. My 2-1/2 year old grandson loves these. I got the Lego table to go with the blocks to store the Legos in. Best of luck! Sandy

Some what - but keep in mind the Mega Bloks First Builders is for Mega Bloks and not Legos. Also with that table you can not use the smaller blocks. I wish I had spent the extra money and gotten some of the wooden tables - there are several on Amazon. A really nice one is the one that flips to the train track. Hope this was helpful.

I would say that is edging on too old. The plates are the smaller factor (not duplo) but they are **not** Lego brand so they mostly fit.

Its a great question, we have several large legos (over 500 pcs) and needed to get a "Lego table" to build and display them. You don't have to have one but I think a Lego base is a great suggestion.

Sorry we didn't have that problem. Call Amazon they have been great with us on pass problems or there might be phone number to call Lego. There might be a phone number on the package. I wish you and your soon all the best.

In the years I've had this I"ve never done that. Since you asked the question and I'm sort-of-fixit person, I looked it over. It should be easy to do. there are three small phillips screws that need to be removed from each plate. The plates should just drop out once removed.
