    Got the Starry Night set for Christmas and partner got the chrysanthemum. We built the Big Wave with her son before he left for college and the 3D art sets are really great.

    Yes the modulars can connect. Most of the ‘influencers’ build their own city and feature their own along with the Lego builds as well.

    I didn’t know this was a thing till bought my BIL a Land Rover 1 and was all wtf at the cost. Now, I’m very intrigued by this.

    Wanna do home alone house for my brother whenever available

    Do you keep these up as permanent fixtures?

    Starry night was an awesome build minus trying to decipher colors in the instructions.

    Since getting back into it most of mine have been displayed in our downstairs. Eventually when I have a stand-alone office most will go there.

    The really wide ones I take down and then I rotate the Christmas ones upstairs as my little one had a blast with that this year creating our own winter village.

    I apparently had $20 in LEGO points, so it made the sell job to the wife even easier.

    Not sure when I’ll even build it, but knowing it’s retiring I wanted it.

    My 4 year old son just started getting into Legos. We got him a beginners set for Xmas. He got this for me for my present from him. It's for us to build together. I haven't built a lego set in probably 25 years, so we'll see how it goes :roll:

    Yea, since it's 3 different dinos, thinking it will take some time. Do they not make generic sets anymore? I remember them having like a wild west set, ocean ones, etc

    Question for others here. My mom got me this for Christmas.

    [​IMG]

    She also told me to feel free to exchange it for another set if I please. She got it on Amazon and it’s about the same cost as Notre Dame. I think I’d prefer the Notre Dame set but part of the purpose of these is to do them with my son. It seems Notre Dame is a bunch of tiny pieces which he struggles with right now. Anybody done Notre Dame yet and have an opinion on it?

    lol, I told my wife that this was a small falcon set. She said, “I thought that was the big one.” Then showed her the $850 set.” She couldn’t believe there were sets that cost that much.

    I think that's the first set I got one of my grandsons maybe 5 years ago. It was fun.

    Iirc it's not 3 dinos, you can just build it 3 different ways. Pretty simple set.

    That set gives you the ability to build 3 Dino’s, not 3 all together fyi.

    In terms of generic sets, closest you’ll get to that is the Lego city sets :twocents:, and other themes that you find that fit.

    I have never used my points so I’m ready to splurge. Except for the Black Friday deal they had this year where I exchanged points for three $5 off coupons.

    I haven’t bought the last two modular buildings: natural history museum and jazz club. Feel like jazz club has to go on sale at some point.

    Also, not sure if it's been confirmed since I'd seen the reddit post. There's speculation there's a few Bluey themed LEGO sets coming in 2025. That would be trouble for me

    Our place is way too small unfortunately. And the bff is far from a fan of legos.

    I took a new job this year which requires me to be in the office most days. Bright side is I have a good size office with multiple shelves. Thinking about bringing in some of the architecture skyline sets.

    Starting this beast. The art sets are always an undertaking because it’s a million pieces of the same color. The Great Wave was one of the coolest building methods I’d seen in a set though.
