NHL Pint Size Heroes Coming Soon

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

I randomly msgd a few people on FB from Canada and was lucky enough to find someone who is a serious collector. He was able to buy a case that we split. I think he may have bought extra. I could ask him if he still has the extra set.

Thanks, but I did manage to find a set...even though I only wanted one I had to buy a set :eek:

Thanks! Interesting note... apparently that top part for the Stanley Cup is a rare piece or something. Had the hardest time tracking that down.

How did you make this display? It’s perfect size for this set of pints and looks great


I used a program called Lego Digital Designer to figure out what pieces I'd need and how to put them together, then ordered them off Brick Link (except for the 'glass', base, and cup bowl - which were cheaper or only available on eBay).

The base is a 16x32 stud baseplate, but cut down to 15x31, which not only is much nicer for my slight OCD as it keeps the sides even, but also fits perfectly in this display case as long as you leave the back corner of the glass open, which I had to alter slightly after taking the picture posted in this thread (because the display case taper inward just a little bit)...

https://www.amazon.com/Acrylic-Plastic- ... merReviews

The glass pieces are four 2x6x5 Lego and four 1x2x5 clear-transparent Lego "window" pieces. Took a bit to figure out what those were called as I'm not real familiar with Lego piece names.

The '"ice" is a combination of red, blue, and white 1x6, 1x4, and 1x3 tiles and the player bench is basically just a box with 2x3 tiles line in the middle for the PSHs to sit on.

Took a while to work it out just right with all the tweaking and redoing to get just right and find the cheapest combination of pieces (because Legos can get really expensive really quickly - LOL), but came out really nice I thought.

So very cool! Thank you so much for sharing, I wouldn’t have known where to start. I’m definitely gonna have to try this out

If it helps, I should be able to share the Lego Digital Designer file I created (assuming you download that program, which is free). With it, you can even generate a parts list so you know what pieces to use and instructions on how to build it.

My friends could have bought a few for me at the HHOF but then I found a complete set on eBay for $30!
