Everything LEGO thread!

Damn you! My next purchase is going to have to be the Saturn V though. Incredible set. I have a birthday in Novermber, it should still be around by then haha.

I downloaded the instructions. I may have to start saving for this. Quite impressive, and the leg attachments are substantial

 

Glad I could help.

 

@EODTRD this set was a lot more expensive, and the legs attached with a single Technic pin, so very unstable.

 

@eodt

 

I don't think it looks as good either.

 

I came home from work and built these today. #7143 Jedi Starfighter and #7251 Darth Vader Transformation. I think the Jedi starfighter is underrated and can be found for cheap.

 

Not a bad deal, $200 for 2,400 parts.

Something to watch while you yearn for the Saturn 5 kit

I don't think lego anticipated how popular the Saturn V is. I think it will be produced for a very long time.

 

Its a little bit bigger than this set:

 

7131 Anakin's podracer, missing Anakin and 2 of the yellow flaps

 

I almost got this set the other day. Now I wish I would have.

 

That's the old set right? The one that came with the other 2 podracers

 

I can contribute to this thread. I built this for my son last week.

 

I wish the tan bricks connecting the pod to the engines were clear.

(Actually I wish the black tubing was metal and could support the pod without having all the bricks in between)

 

No this one was before that set. It was a stand alone racer

 

Gotcha! I have the all three pod racer set in my tubs somewhere. Would love to rebuild them all but I have no time

 

I would love to have all 3 but I am out of display space at the moment. It takes time for sure to look for all the parts if they aren't sorted. It's relaxing to me though

 

I may have a lot more time once I'm done with school later this summer tho

 

and in the "Argh!" category we have this small problem. I ordered the correct parts to upgrade my home EV3 set to the educational set. Only missing one 40 tooth gear, since the vendor only had one. I figured I could get away with it, since the builds don't use all the available parts. Well, the build I selected does use both gears.
I got all the way to step 103, and there it was, one more 40 tooth gear, and I already used the one I had.

Argh! Back to Brickline for an additional gear.

 

Most parts I buy on bricklink are pretty cheap so I normally buy a few of them. If I need 1 2x4 tile to finish a set, then getting 2 or 3 is even better.
