LEGO Harbour - Shipping Container Stack MOC Façade 🚢⚓🏹 

That's a great use of this space! 2 suggestions to make this scene more fun and aligned with the tone of the city: have someone stuck in this pile, and have one angled container on the top to show one that is falling (maybe on the left where you have more space)

The build is amazing! The detail and color variety is superb. I might be saying something sacrilegious here, but I feel the fort takes away form the entire shipping vibe. I love the port you built, but I feel the fort might have run its course in the city. I know you won't change it as you love it. Back to the build, the containers stack is superb. Well done.

Love the Containers - but for me I think it's a shame to have it so close to the fort... it gets lost against the containers.

This isn’t what I imagined when you’ve mentioned the container wall in the past. Its surpassed my expectations in a great way. It looks great in place, possibly slightly distracts from the fortress, yet then again some old fortress’s are found by ports… Maybe add some minifigures or workers in there, to add some more depth.

I would personally add a 2x8 brick on top of the Duplo pieces, just to hide the studs and help with stability.

Looks great, but I have one suggestion. Swap the regular blue and purple containers. I think it would make the blue one look better because it would be farther away from the blue water, and it would make the back corner pop more

I like the jumbled look of the cargo containers. It may not be very convenient in real life, but it's very eye catching in Lego

Robin, the containers look awesome! It makes the area look a billion times better.

Now that's what you call another instant RHB classic!

A potential idea would to have one of Dr Infernos cargo crate delivered to the wrong warf… maybe the workers open it and something could goes wrong. You could also add a harmless one to Dr Infernos warehouse, and was mixed up with his cargo.

I love this its such a nice build to look at. Maybe to disguise the coffee duplo bricks you could ad brown 2x4\2x2 bricks :)

Very nice. I think the anchor coming down from the air ship near the containers is a happy accident that looks like they could potentially hook one. I think the colors were a good choice and have nice contrast with each other with the stickers adding nice bits of detail. The sky blue and the tank one next to it pop super well . One suggestion I can think of is having a longshoreman directing the nearby crane, perhaps from the top of the turquise container. That would further tie the container stack in with the surrounding builds. I think the opening doors on the turquise container could be taken advantage of by having one partially open with someone or something poking out, or even just the tiniest amount ajar, maybe with the grey handle thing turned a bit like it hadn't been turned into proper place to lock the door. Alternatively it could be paired with a boat or something beneath it for a small smuggling scene. Probably with something funny like donuts being taken. For a skewed container one might fit in the gap at the highest level. If it is turned vertically so its tipping it could create a neat thing for figures to be reacting to. Maybe with a hinge type piece hidden on the far side to hold it at an angle. Otherwise one built at an angle horizontally could work well if the stud ratios line up right to get a good snugness to the wall. For something with more height maybe clear bricks could be used to mount the very tip of another crane to look like its poking out of the white space on the wall. Not sure how stable it would be but it could be hooked to or be in the process of being hooked to the coffee crate. Or maybe its hooked to the crate but some string cable is just dangling over the side of the containers like it had snapped with just the bit of crane above. Either could make for good scene dressing for figures to interact with. If it wouldn't be such a pain to do and would loose a good container, the grey one looks like it could be removed to create a tunnel type passageway that may serve as a dubious access point to the fortress. ;p For a small docks type scene, a figure could have grey studs or something on their feet like they were given cement shoes. It would be a bit dark though without having it on a figure that looks like they could just breathe underwater or not be inconvenienced or a hero nearby to rescue them. Aquaman could work well in either spot and could then introduce some flying fish or other aquatic life involved with the rescue.

Just noticed that the Robon head logo on the top right of the thumbnail overlaps almost perfectly with the giant Robin figure in the background 😂

This facade looks great, I actually like your use of facades around the city. I appreciate your use of Duplo pieces. I've several small children in my family that I buy Duplo for and I want them to see they can still be useful even when they move on to more complex builds with standard Lego pieces. I know you must already have the rest of the facades planned out, but I feel like there should be a pub included. The longshoremen/dock workers need a place for a quick pop-in before they head home. Thank you very much for sharing.

Seeing the quality job the long shore men are doing I am surprised none of the containers are not upside down. Or a poorly stacked barrels and crates on top of the containers.

Looks great, think on the coffee one, add green 1 by attached under the top plate to hide duplo studs

Love the interior detail of the containers. Reminds me of the Thunderbird 2 vehicle which used to carry a sort of container with another vehicle inside. Great vid, as always..

For how big that MOC was, once you placed it in, it really showed how big your city is because it looks so tiny! Great idea for a build!!!

Hey Robin Nice build I would just suggest adding some panel or wall behind the snowmobile so it covers that part of the wall

My father was a longshoreman in NY so I love the container ships. First time I’ve seen them in Lego form. Good job 👍🏻

Robin, you are the king of PACKED AND STACKED, sir! Wow... .you literally find any nook and cranny and fill it!

That's such a great idea and implementation! I'm going to work on my industrial zone facades soon, and erhm ... I might borrow this idea with the shipping containers. Brilliant!

Great job on the containers. Not sure I'd have them behind the fort though, the fort is its own masterpiece and doesn't really go with the containers behind. For me I would give the fort the corner and start the containers further over to the left of it

Cool idea doing this as a facade. The placement directly behind the fort seems weird, though.

Uh oh, Robinhood is packing and stacking his lego room again. Great cargo containers facade

I really like the variety of the cargos! It’s limitless on what you can add to it later on and it serves as a nice background to the pier. Well done as usual 😊👍

Just bought the big blue container hull on bricklink last week and am excited to build some containers for it! Also, just wanted to say how much I appreciate the effort you take to put the set numbers and pictures of the pieces you use in your build. I always have bricklink open on standby while watching your videos because I’m always adding stuff from you!

With all the hot tea ☕️ techniques you had to use in this video you should consider creating a Robin Hood tea company or something to compete with that duplo coffee

Love it! Doubling up on the packed and stacked meanings! Think the fort could do with a couple studs of breathing space... but at what cost! Can't wait to see more in the port!

I love how dynamic the containers look! Very nice addition to the harbor.

Brilliant those graffiti stickers were used in my funfair stage wagon. I'm thinking more height simply because anything is unreasonably possible in brick Nottingham.

Absolutely love it!! Great use of a tiny space, have you thought of having a container that's fell off the stack into the water 🤣🤣

What a great idea! I'm definitely doing this in Figuresburg! 👍

The anchor for the zeplin is not far off being caught on some cargo. Maybe that what's holding it in place.

With the coffee just being there easily able to get stolen you’d think that some baddie would take the opportunity it’s almost a lifetime supply with just one block (or possibly more if you add a brick layer on top of the piece) also the idea of having a container splashing into the water would be neat and could blend the plates too for a ripple effect of the water

put someone sleeping on the snowmobile

This is an awesome build! We use it on model railways too (call it building flats or low relief buildings)

I think the container stack looks amazing, but having said that, it's placement seems odd to me. I love the use of the old fortress, but now it looks kind of lost in the corner with all the containers smooshed in behind it.

I Love this idea and it really makes this corner shine. I would only suggest to move the two cranes, the Ports and the ships into the corner ( one turned by 45 degrees ) and move the fort towards the lighthouse. I think that would fit better(?)! This way you could also put a Graffiti-artist on the Containers ( and you would be able to See it??) :)

Great work! I keep imagining one of the doors cracked open on the turquoise container and rubber duckies pouring out into the harbor.

You should put a minifigure with a fishingrod on top of the turquoise container.

At first I doubted. But at the end it is a ver nice container solution. So 👍👍 up

The 6X10 containers are actually realistic, maybe not that only theyre the only size, but irl containers are in 40ft 30ft and 20ft lengths and this would likely translate to a 15ft container, it still is close enough to be a 20ft container

Really nice use of space Robin! I won't give a suggestion, as I don't wish to cause you more torment and possibly a catastrophic accident!😂 Looks perfect to me, buy I'm sure others will have some awesome suggestions. The only thing I thought of is switching the red section for the yellow sticker section so we can see those stickers better. Thanks!

You really need to add a tugboat to the harbour

I love industrial sites and harbours,this Is a great space saver idea,really great work!!

Is it placed were it is because there going to facade next to it because it looks weird being behind the castle.

great use of this space!

I love the new container stacks! I am not loving how they are so all up in el dorado fortress though. What if you were to switch the fortress with dr inferno’s warehouse? The warehouse would look quite seamless next to them, plus the fortress and the other little pirates tower you built on the other side of the bridge could flank both sides of the bridge. This would make them feel more attached?

i feel the containers get drained out beside a historic fort, but hey it looks super cool! maybe u should secretly add a guy living in that turquoise container

That looks great. something I was thinking as to a fun sceen would be to have the SSP having a cantainer on the 5th level that they use to spy on the badguy hideout on the other side of the castle. You could have it stick out a little to far and say SSP or maybe have an agent falling out the end door while he was spying. As always thanks for sharing this great build.

Spectacular, really enjoyed the creativity of the facade, bravo

Wow……what a wonderful idea. I think I’ll be adding a container area to my city as well. I’ve always hated the blank wall space behind my port area…….Thank you Robin🎉

Really enjoyed this Robin thanks! I do love the containers

I so love you your creativity it always amazes me

Great job

Not finished with the video but one suggestion: 2*4 lego bricks fit and could go on top of the coffee packets to make a lid, maybe light brown or a different tint of brown

Hello again Robin Your cargo container stacking farcade is perfect for your harbour Great work 👍😉

Very impressive, Robin. It's going to be an interesting wall when you're finished ☺️

Love it !

I think its been a while since you have done something to your subway, id like to see like a fight going on inside one of the carts. Well done! Also I really like the containers! They look pretty cool! Maybe you could do something similar but on a ship!🚢 I think you could also add some more track, if you don't have space use the closet.😎 I think i'm getting closer to start making my city, also I am American, but that doesn't stop me from getting inspiration from you! Please keep doing what you do best! 🤟😀

Nice build!!! But you may consider to add a GBC unit on the storage...

It looks great! : )

You're going to need a bigger room soon Robin!!!

Making the 2nd level red container 4 or 5 studs deep for more depth and variation

Love it 👍🏻

Wow looks great!

Wait a minute! No container from the super secret police?

Nice one Robin. Any one for level 6 😁🤩😲 lol with a shipping container that has busted open and Lego falling outta it. Into the sea ..and Lego washing up on the beach. Baste on a true story. ..I'm Shaw you herd about that Robin..? And Lego still washing up on that beach 15 so year s on

that Duplo part, i shall fill the gap little bit more so that more volume coffee beans experince look maybe put some brown part behind it or front on the top part of the container (well inside i mean... sorry mine english explain is little bit crap)

Impressive! I like how it's funny as it's not aligned, but it's realistic at the same time. Maybe some improvements there is adding another level... maybe two. And also moving the seagull to the corner that is hanging over the sea, heavy enough to make it fall from the pile, like that van scene from True Lies. 😁 An unrelated (or is it?) suggestion is adding one of those houses made of containers nearby.

I think that containers could look better between the two pier then behind Fort. But nonetheless it's a great build! :D

I would ad "container" with reference on Scooby-snack (from Scooby Doo shows) Or container themed to mystery Machine (van that Scooby And gang use)

If you want the tallest shipping container stack you would have to beat 9 levels tall.

That looks great. 👌 it feels like I am in the real harbour. Is there still an indication from where the wind is coming? When there is storm these big piles of container can fall over!

Brick Nottingham - Where danger isn't just a suggestion. No, this wasn't supposed to make sense.

Love the idea. Do feel its a shame to hide so much of the lovely detail down load or behind the fort. maybe it could all be taller but with fairly plain containers at the bottom? not sure if it works being so far in the corner, but then it will probably make more sense once you've added more along the wall.

It’s looking great Robin why don’t you slide it back towards the crane out of the corner about four or five studs?

Is it possible to add bricks/plates to the underside of the dark grey plate on the Duplo container to block off the gap a bit?

Absolutely loved the build, but do not like the placement. I don't know whether the Fort can move over a few studs just to give it some space. It's a shame as the build is really good. I imagined the cargo being closer to the cranes as the boats can still get into the harbour via the standing hole by the door.

Higgledepickledeewhat? :-) Yeah, I'm also here to learn new English words.

In surprised by the final positioning. A fair bit of it, like the graffiti, with the fortress position. I wonder if there should be a story told here? Maybe you have some burglars abseiling down the side of the containers to get into one they have particular interest in?

When are you gonna start the sea life under the sea im anxious to see it

Can't you switch places between DC inferno and the castle ? Because the castle doesn't match the port area...

Where is the cargo container of stowaways. Maybe a container of Aliens have found a way to infiltrate Brick Nottingham. Could have a couple of containers around the harbour and in transit with an alien logo.

Is Mrs Hood going to let you paint the wall to have a forced perspective of the town beyond the façades?

As long as it's coffee instead of tea, so they won't throw it into the harbour. Then again, it's only Americans who would waste good tea like that.

Sorry Robin, I usualy love your ideas but I did not liked this one, it looks wierd behind the eldorado fortress....why a tourist atraction have a pile of containers so close to it ?
