Everything LEGO thread!

And done. This was a fun build.

 

Got Rivendell but want a different way to display all the minifigs?

Water fire response with new 4x4 truck/raft.

 

looks grear y'all. got an atv 6x6 to assemble. super cold here so maybe get on it tmrw.

 

Went to walmart today, and like I do swung through the Lego aisle to see if anything caught my eye. I glanced down and saw a polybag Perseverance rover! I didn't know they made a small version, and I've been really wanting the large version but haven't been able to justify it, so small version it is. Built it tonight, which then prompted my 7mo pregnant wife to ask if that was the "dark and cold" robot and she immediately started tearing up remembering it's final (paraphrased and stylized) transmission of "my battery is low and it's getting dark."

Mistakes were made.

Tried to cheer her up by saying no no, this is the helicopter launching robot and it's still going very well, its pooping out lots of sample collections, yadda yadda. Didn't go well for me.

RIP Opportunity Rover, long live Percy.

 

Just got these more recently from my old Lego store

 

Started on bag #3 of this Secret Santa gift I got for Christmas.



First time experience of finding out it's missing 2 pieces. Contacted Lego but now on hold until the parts arrive. Can't really complain though after having built several kits the past few years and this is the first time I've run into this.

 

Just thought I'd post this here, I've owned this for over 20 years as I acquired it when I ran the R Zone section at Toys R Us



It's got some bad scratches and all and it's really dirty

Need to remove the adhesive it's got on top too

I'll display it whenever I figure out where I want it in our kids room

 

Hoping I get to visit the real one when I go to Japan this October!

 

Didn't know about this one. Perfect for my Hawaiian family

Finished Gringott’s Wizarding Bank finally. 2’6” tall approximately. Some pics:

The vaults, including the waterfall Thief’s Downfall, and lower you can see where the dragon broke free, an incomplete feeding schedule and a skull. Belatrix Lestrange and Harry Potter’s vault is here along with track and a cart.


Bank interior. There were hidden details in the walls, kinda cool.




Bank exterior, didn’t like the way the stickers for the sign lined up. Such a cool set but that was kinda half ass.



Dragon on the roof.



Completed.



This was a GWP in September 2023 and actually connects to the end of the track. It’ll be the next build.

 

I placed several Bricklink orders around Christmas to build my latest ship. All but one arrived fairly quickly. After making it to a distribution center an hour from my house and falling off the face of the earth for two weeks, the final order finally arrived today! Thanks USPS...

Even better: since this build has a deadline, I made a replacement order just to be sure. Two days later, the first resurfaces. Thankfully it's all easily reusable parts.

 

Not sure about you guys; I routinely mail via USPS and can get packages to the East Coast within the same week.

Today, my customer finally received their package after it was dropped off for mailing on the 6th.

The carrier? UPS. Destination? New Jersey.

UPS sucks.

 

The boatening begins



But that's all until tomorrow. Off to trivia night

 

Anyone want to buy this for say $6.00 for shipping? Came with set 60412 but I only want the fire vehicle, figure it can go with some of yalls camping rigs.

 

Sure. I will, I can start my 9 month old's collection now!

 

Seem to recall you sending me a free extra f bomb bottle opener, just pm me your address.

 

I may have; I like giving extras to anyone that supports me

 

Ok package is shipped, we got freezing temps here so USPS may be delayed a few days.
