    When you say BL order, do you mean selling the ones you have? If so, I’d be interested in hearing how that goes.

    No, as in ordering the missing pieces that I need to complete the builds. Got about 90% of the missing bits for $40
    Just a few that I couldn’t find at the store I ordered from so I’ll keep searching. Found a store that specializes in sets and parts from the 80’s so I tried to get as much from them as possible knowing my chances of getting similar condition/wear/UV/etc would be pretty good. Still ordered a few extras, especially of the light grey and white pieces.

    still undecided what I want to do with the sets long term. I keep waffling between keeping and selling.

    Assembled this a couple years ago. First and only "kit" I've done. Grew up with an old school DIY Lego set back in the 70s. Appreciate what it did for my sense of proportions as well as developing simple math skills.

    On display atop my HiFi rack in the garage/man cave.

    Honestly, I didn't find it that amazingly entertaining to assemble. I really liked the finished product, but flipping pages in a book of instructions just isn't really my thing. I love constructing things, but usually it's something of my own design.

    Bought the Collosseum at the same time. Never opened it, lucky to sell it locally for a couple extra bucks.

    I think the Concorde would look great on display. Might try to pick that one up at some point.

    Bought the MoMA Starry Night for my wife because she does a metric ton of art puzzles, but she has no interest in it. :(

    I get it.

    However, if you liked the look of the Saturn V, there’s a mod that’ll make it the Skylab version.. Just sayin :D

    That’s highly responsive! Sounds like a great seller :thumbsup:

    Good luck to you and everyone else (incl me) who uses BL:fingerscrossed:

    Unrelated, any Chevy fans out there?

    Ohio Brick Warehouse - they have mostly 70's and 80's sets and pieces.
    I replied to her and told her I appreciated her keeping in touch. Whatever is going on isn't their fault. Sometimes small businesses are the best to deal with - more personal than the big box places.

    EDIT - oh, and mom would take the 57 and I'll take the Silverado
