Lego question

[Amadeus]

I'm looking for large-sized Lego kits, preferably consisting of all rectangular blocks. I would actually prefer a no-name brand if any exist. Basically just looking for stackable blocks.

I make rubber molds and I figure that Lego or similar would provide a decent seal for me to pour liquid rubber. I searched Amazon but I'm not really looking to spend hundreds for plastic bricks, if I can avoid it.

Any suggestions?

Some construction companies use large foam blocks for pouring concrete. Not sure how small they make them, but I imagine you can order them in various sizes.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been making mold boxes out of wood and clay, but I'm tired of building something new for every project. I figure reusable stackable blocks would enable me to customize the boxes a bit.

I made a urethane rubber mold today using clay for the mold box. Worked pretty well.

Depends on the size I suppose. Try to look at places like office supply joints that sell little plastic boxes for things like organizing your desk; hobby stores that have little boxes for craft people to keep their misc. craft crap in; and maybe hardware stores in the wiring department where they may have an assortment of things like conduit boxes.

They are pricey and hard to come by in my area at least. They also have open ends to piece together and metal cross braces if you are talking about the insulated concrete forms.

Did anyone else read the title of the thread, get really excited, then read the OP and feel crushing disappointment?

Ummmm, no. I can't say that I get too excited about Legos. :lol:

We can still talk about Lego if you want.

Garage sales and craigs list. I bought a big rubber made bin full for $10 off of craigs list a few years ago.

I don't think we don't have Craigslist here, but we do have Kijiji.

They hurt like a muthaflipper if you step on one in barefeet.
