FAQ

Questions and Answers:

How will I receive my instructions/sticker file/parts list?

After you purchase, you'll see a Download your files section on the order confirmation page. From here, you can download your instructions PDF, printable sticker PDF, and Bricklink XML parts list file. You can return to this page at any time from your order confirmation email.

You will also receive a separate email with the same files, immediately after purchase is complete.

Please reach out to us at hello@eggybricks.com if you have any issues!

Do your instructions come with LEGO pieces?

Sadly, no. Keep reading though!

How do I buy LEGO pieces?

In your eggybricks order, you will receive three copies of the parts list in different formats.

  1. The printed parts list at the back of the instructions
  2. A LEGO online pick-a-brick CSV Parts List
  3. A Bricklink XML Parts List

The best way to shop for pieces is through LEGO online Pick-a-brick or through BrickLink.

We recommend buying your parts via LEGO online Pick-a-brick using their new upload tool and then purchasing any unavailable parts through BrickLink. This is usually cheaper because of shipping costs from BrickLink.

Check out our how-to guides on how to order from each:

How do I run the trains?

You can do this with either a mobile device (phone or tablet) or the LEGO remote control.

Using a mobile device:

  1. Download and install the LEGO PoweredUp mobile app.
  2. Select the CITY Express Passenger Train profile (it’s a green train) or another profile.
  3. Tap the Bluetooth icon and connect to the train's battery box/hub by pressing its green button.
  4. You should be ready to go!

Using the LEGO remote control:

The train can also be controlled via a LEGO Remote Control. Press and hold the green button on both the remote and the Battery Box/Hub simultaneously. If paired successfully, both will light up in the same color.

Do I need stickers?

No, you don't! Our models are designed to look good with or without stickers. We design them simply because we think they enhance the model.

How do I print stickers?

Like buying parts, printing stickers can range from easy to a bit finicky.

The process we recommend (feel free to skip steps that seem overkill if you're okay with a slightly less crisp output):

1. Buy WHITE sticker paper that matches your printer. We use an Epson Ecotank inkjet and recommend HTVRONT brand printable vinyl paper: glossy or matte. Our layout is designed for letter size (8.5" x 11").

2. Tune your printer settings: set the paper type to match your sticker paper (e.g., "premium glossy" or "premium matte"), choose the best print quality, and adjust color settings if needed.

  • Match the printer’s paper setting with your sticker paper type.
  • Ensure the software print dialog matches that setting.
  • Set the quality to Best/Highest Quality.
  • Optionally, tweak color profiles for more accurate output.

3. If using an inkjet printer, let the page air-dry for at least 12 hours.

4. Optionally, laminate your sticker sheet with a water- and UV-protective layer. We use Oracal Oraguard 210, though a simpler option is HTVRONT self-adhesive vinyl. This step is optional—just handle the stickers carefully.

If you have a sublimation printer, you might skip steps 1–4 and sublimate your stickers instead for a waterproof finish.

5. Cut the stickers out. We use a Silhouette Cameo 4 automated cutter; otherwise, you'll need scissors. (Email hello@eggybricks.com for the cut file if you have your own cutter.)

What if I want stickers, but I don't want to print stickers?

We know some of you prefer not to print stickers. Since we have the equipment to print and cut, we offer sticker sheets for each model at a small premium over material costs plus shipping. This option is currently available in the U.S. with potential expansion if there's enough interest.

What if there's something wrong with my model, or I just think it's not as beautiful as I wanted? Or if I'm not happy for any other reason?

We want our models (and the building experience) to be perfect, so if you have any feedback or concerns, we'd love to hear it. We're committed to fixing any issues—even the small ones.

Please email us at hello@eggybricks.com. We might not reply instantly due to our regular jobs, but we truly value your feedback and are dedicated to making things right.
