PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Brian has a black SR5; Pretty sure it's not a TRD Pro...

 

This is Brian's, right?

 

I went back to the K-Mart today and took some more pictures. This time there was no random vigilante shadowing me...

 

@HomerTaco

Some people on TW might know about my recent interest in LEGO models, specifically large and intricately detailed vehicles.

I'm having a bit of a hard time deciding which one I would like to build next, so I figured starting a poll on TW and letting my fellow Tacoma owners and enthusiasts choose for me! All three of these models are the exact same price:

THE THREE I HAVE MY EYE ON:

MINI Cooper

Volkswagen Beetle

Ferrari F40

SUGGESTED TO ME BY ANOTHER MEMBER:

Caterham Seven

SETS I OWN AND HAVE BUILT:

Got this one for $10 off MSRP, at Toys "R" Us:
Extreme Adventure

Volkswagen Camper Van

Got this one for like $15 off MSRP, at Toys "R" Us:
Airport Rescue Vehicle

Go-Kart

Got this one for $46, online at Target:
Drag Racer

This is a 2-in-1 model, so I bought two of them and built both variations, in-store at Target:
Roadwork Crew

I want it, but wanting something and actually having $800 lying around are two totally different things. Someday...

 

@EODTRD

 

Yeah, my fiancé's brother in law bought it. Apparently he goes around and buys 5 of the collectible vehicle lego kits like the bat mobile, the ghost busters wagon and stuff like that. Sits on them, then sells them. (Buys for $50, sells for $200+)

He sold the rest of his inventory for the Falcon

 

Also, it's out of stock...



There are more people who have that kind of money to spend than I thought! The most I'm willing to spend on a LEGO set at the moment is this:

Porsche 911 GT3 RS

 

We bought the cheaper $125 Falcon for my 10 year old for this Christmas

 

Bill, which of those $100 models do you think I should get?

 

I had a mini so I voted Mini

 

They're all cool. But the Cooper looks to be the most interesting build. 2nd would be the V-Dub.

 

I'm going to end up buying all of them eventually. It's just a matter of which one I should buy first...

Do you mean an original Mini, or a post-2001 BMW Mini?

 

Don't forget this guy if you are looking at current sets

If you want the largest and most detailed lego automobile then the Tumbler 76023 would be my choice.

 

That is not a bad price at all...

 

I wish I had an original. I've always wanted an original. I had a 2007 Mini Cooper S with Factory Stage 1 JCW Kit. (Image of my old mini attached). I did 147mph in that thing. I miss that car everyday.

 

I've been told it's like driving a Go-Kart. I know how to drive stick, but I've never driven a Mini. I have driven a 1971 VW Bus though!

 

The Tumbler has been retired...
