Have you ever looked at an incredible LEGO MOC and thought, “How did they even come up with that?”

For some LEGO fans, creating their own builds is a huge part of the hobby. For others, following the instructions and building official LEGO sets is where most of the experience comes from.

So what does it take to go from building LEGO sets to creating something of your own?

In Episode 58 of The Hidden Bricks, From MOCs to the BrickLink Designer Program with Alex Kastelic, Alex joins us for a conversation about MOCs, creativity, and what goes into turning an original idea into something other LEGO fans can build.

We’re talking about where MOC ideas come from, what makes certain builds stand out, the challenges of creating from scratch, and what makes the jump from a fan-created MOC to the BrickLink Designer Program.

We’ll also get into the upcoming BrickLink Designer Program series, what fans can look forward to, and whether Alex can convince Mav and Em to finally try building MOCs of their own.

Have you ever built your own LEGO MOC? And if not, what’s stopping you?
