MOC, or “My Own Creation,” refers to the practice of building custom creations with LEGO® bricks, instead of following instructions for a pre-designed set.
MOC building allows LEGO® enthusiasts to flex their creative muscles and create unique models that may not be available through official sets. This can include anything from replicating a favorite movie scene or building an original design.
One of the best things about MOC building is that it is accessible to people of all ages and skill levels. Whether you are a seasoned builder or new to the hobby, there are endless possibilities for what you can create.
Access to a wide variety of LEGO® bricks and pieces can greatly enhance the MOC building experience. Having a diverse selection of bricks, colors, and shapes allows for more creative and intricate designs.
For example, having a variety of different sized and shaped bricks can allow for more detailed and realistic building. Similarly, having a wide range of colors can add depth and interest to a MOC, making it more visually appealing.
Additionally, having access to a random selection of LEGO® pieces can also encourage experimentation and exploration in building. It can inspire builders to think outside the box and come up with new and unique ideas for their MOCs.
This access to random LEGO® bricks also allows for builders to make unexpected discoveries, and to come up with new ways to use the bricks they already have. This can be especially helpful for those who have been building with LEGO® for a while, but feel like they’ve exhausted all the possibilities of their current collection.
Red Mountain Bricks provides a diverse and random selection of LEGO® bricks and pieces that can greatly enhance the MOC building experience. We work hard providing builders with more options, inspiration and new ways to approach building their own creations.
LEGO® also provides a platform for MOC builders to share their creations with others. From websites like Rebrickable and LEGO® Ideas, to social media platforms like Instagram and YouTube, there is a wealth of resources and inspiration for those who want to get into MOC building.
Additionally, it is an excellent way to teach children about creativity, problem-solving, and spatial reasoning. Building with LEGO® encourages children to think outside the box and come up with their own ideas, rather than just following a pre-determined set of instructions.
In summary, MOC building is a fantastic way for LEGO® enthusiasts to flex their creative muscles and create unique models. With the rise of online platforms, it has never been easier for builders to share their creations and find inspiration. And it’s also a great way to encourage creativity and problem-solving skills in children.
