Lego-compatible adhesive tape might soon be a thing.
Looks like they are a 9,751% of the funding goal, with a month left.
Considering it.

Tape is cool.
I just got an email from my g-scale model train supplier with this
Building Block Set.
I had my eye on a flat car; but was thinking I may just cannibalize existing rolling stock with Lego building plates for the same effect.
But an engine, tooā¦ well. Itās still a lot of money.
I like the tape. I would be interested to see how well it works.

I donāt know g-scaleā¦
For many years growing up I had an HO scale railroad that took up a third of my bedroom.
My best friend had relatives in Germany who sent him Lego for every gift occasion.
He had both of these train sets and the space monorail. I was mad jelly.

@cmreeder Did you go to the Hostlers Model Train Convention in Ogden that first weekend in March? They had serious a Lego train display put on by the Utah Lego Users Club. I wish I had taken a better close up picture of the actual track.

Always wanted a Lego train but they were just to much.
I know Iāll be investigating making Lego surfaces with the laser.

I had a friend with the space monorail too! I was a little too late to that party, but I had every āBlacktronā and āM-Tronā space set!

My wife was just talking about this tape as well. Supposed to start shipping right before our sonās birthday, so she was already thinking thatād be a great gift.
Also, we might go to Brick Fest since itās only 15 minutes from us. Could be a good time. We went and saw The Art Of The Brick exhibit in 2015. AMAZING display. The guyās a true artist. Wonder how heāll use this tape.

Why do I feel the makers of the tape are having a Glowforge style āoups, sold a tad more then predictedā moment.
I had that same thought.
Although it seems to be a slightly less complicated product to manufacture and ship.

Just had a co-worker say āMy sonās too old for Legos, of course.ā I said āDamn! Iām in my 40ās and I work with them. How the hell old is your son?!ā

I want to back thisā¦ Iām trying so hard to be good though. It seems like a gimmick that I wouldnāt use muchā¦ but that didnāt stop me from buying a Lego light switch cover! Argh!

My first thought was "Um, just stick real lego plates to stuff with one of any number of adhesives."
Then I thought, āNo, I am not putting glue on my lego blocks. I destroyed enough of them with āmodificationsā when I was a younger.ā (How else are you going to get a lego spear properly through a lego torso?)
It seems like the best use of the tape product might be spots like vehicle dashboards or along the top of computer monitors.

Wellā¦ Try reading the comments on the video on youtube. I wish I hadnāt. You may get annoyed enough with people in general that you wonāt want the product anymore.
I didnāt know about it. I am just getting into trains on my own account; my mom broke up her collection among my brothers and me. We each got a really good start, but not quite a full working set.
Are you on the GF map, @Tuck? You on Utah, too?
And back to the topic, my cousin had all the monorail sets. Spent hours with that.
After cleanup, I throw away all toys left outā¦ except Lego. They are somehow exempt from the irresponsible behavior of their owners.

I had not even thought of that. Mind blown! To-do list just got longer. 
I wonder whatād be cheaperā¦ lasering away enough material to create a LEGOĀ®-compatible surface orā¦ buying a set of LEGOs.
