LEGO Thread

Got the Tallneck built. Wife also got me an RGB kit for it. I figured it would just be a strand of lights to put in an encasing or something. No, you take bricks out and put the lights in the build.



That’s gonna take a bit longer.

Curious to know how this process went once you're done. I've looked at getting the light set for my ghostbusters car

 

I got the one for the Batwing for Christmas. Haven't had the heart to pull it down off the wall and start deconstructing.

 

Did you feel ripped off that you only get half a pyramid. My wife was furious

 

Lego's price points on sets are getting stupid

 

Welp I officially caught the bug. Snagged the Singapore set at Target. Found out that my grandma/aunt have a couple sets, so they're sending me London and Paris. Got the NYC set for cheap on Offer Up, even though it wasn't really something I was looking for.

Looks like Tokyo was retired not too long ago, which sucks. Will look at getting that and Dubai from eBay I guess? The Sydney and Venice sets are expensive as well on the resale market.

 

looks like the Lego "Friends" series that my daughter fucked around with for a year or two

 

A missing arm. A missing leg. A minority!

 

Did a thing today

 

Are the LED’s pet of the set?

 

No, a third party kit from Amazon. It’s remote controlled

Required a fair amount of effort because you disassemble pieces to place the LEDs and hide the wires.

 

Bad ass

 

Thread bump reminded me that I still have to do my world map set. I’m off next couple days so maybe I’ll try and knock it out.

X wing complete. Dunno why they didn’t design it to keep the wings open.



Next is BD1

my wife helps out and does at least one bag. Can’t wait till our daughter is old enough to join.

 

I’m going to buy it just so I can build chopper and melt that fucker down

 

Just ordered with $50 off from VIP points. Am excite.

 

Finally installed the lights. Pretty badass. Have to finish hiding the wires a bit better.


Traffic light changes pattern. Machine headlamp RGB.

This looks legit

 

I’m on way over my head. Think I’m up to 10 or so architecture sets. Had to go with used sets for some of the older ones since they’re so expensive (Venice, Sydney, Berlin, etc.)

Also snagged some modular sets. Boutique Hotel, Bookshop, and Assembly Square.

 

I am continually amazed at the prices of these bigger sets. $430!

 

Came Friday. I’m hesitant to start because once we finish it, the partner will take that as a cue to start decorating for Halloween and it’s still 100 degrees here.

 

I want the home alone set. Feels like it’s the only set I can get away with displaying in the living room and the gf not getting mad.

 

The last Lego build I did was this one and it bothers the hell out of me how small Dom's fig is compared to the car.

 

It’s a good build and displays really nicely.

 

Myles Turner's collection is wild

 

Only takes a measly NBA salary to maintain a collection like that.

 

My 3 yeah old just got some sets. He has them memorized already. Was really cool teaching him how the directions worked and now he just does them own his own. New set he followed the directions all on his own. Probably gonna grab a 6+ set and let him try that with me. Only thing I worry about is he isn’t very good at putting it away and I have a newborn so worried once he starts moving around

 

Finally got around to finishing the Hogwarts Express. It’s pretty awesome. Has several scenes built into the car with lights and removable sections to see them.

 

Castle, but that's because it reminds me of the helms deep set I have somewhere

 

So I’m going to have a 3 ft tall Lego Avengers tower in my house. Instant must buy.

 

Kopped on the last day of double points week.

Now I’m trying to find a reasonably priced Parisian Restaurant modular set.

 

Not a Lego guy anymore. But got this on Christmas 99 and it was my favorite gift ever.

 

It's such a great set and so cool to display, if you've got a spot to do so properly. It's got a pretty large footprint.
