    Thanks for posting all of these @snapspinner :thumbsup:. Those large scale sets are amazing! I need to find the plans for the minfig scale Bad Batch Shuttle :rofl:

    .

    I’m getting the sense they’re all highly variable. Gonna have to recon as much as possible in the future.

    This was my first Brickfest, so I might be wrong but I’m guessing the closer it is to a large metro area the better the displays/builds. Most of the items I took pictures of were presented by regional clubs.

    i was wondering if anyone was going to get a Groot. Not a super huge fan of the movies but agreed, Groot is too darn cute

    oooh.... spaceship.
    meanwhile MT Benny is pouting because I insisted that the Starry Night build must be completed before we start on the spaceship.

    up to bag 7 of Starry Night.
    Some of the techniques for the ultra-micro scale landscape and the swirly bit for the moon are interesting.
    for the moon...never seen the \_/ shaped piece used anywhere but in a few vehicles. comes out to a near perfect circle

    upload_2022-8-8_20-52-25.jpg
    and a little frustrated with the part selections too. lots of 1x2's in line and what not.... just give me a damn 1x4!!! not sure if they upping the piece count to justify the higher prices or if they're trying to lower the individual types of bricks (could be 50/50) to speed up manufacturing?

    Still not happy with the year + wait for the set but I'm loving it so far!

    in the sky maybe - its all 1x4's staggered with 1x2's on every other row. but there are plenty of hidden joints where they have smaller parts even though there are the same color/size elsewhere.
    maybe I'm just trying to build a conspiracy theory to justify the higher prices. dunno. just seems weird and frustrating to me.

    The Sonic Green Hill set was similar, could have easily used other pieces, especially on the infill of the landmass.
