    Not too bad of a hit if it sells for the price in the article..

    Kinda related, does anyone else think it’s a bit disingenuous for Lego to market these types of sci-fi military kits but then draws a line with real life ones?

    Somehow, this morning at breakfast, Legos came up in conversation. I remembered the Pirates Of Baracuda Bay set, so I showed them pics of it.

    Needless to say they were super excited about it. So I told them it was expensive, very popular, so we needed to save up money to buy it when it went on sale. I don't think I received any email alert about being able to pre-order already, so I decided to just go on and check.

    Said they're accepting backorders, only ships mid May, so I said fuck it and ordered it already. Oh well! Even if it arrives after my son's birthday (5/12) it'll still be a nice gift. I'll just print a picture of it and stick it in an envelope for his b-day.

    Got my lego ship in a bottle yesterday. It’s quarantined at the moment but will get built soon. Super excited.

    Well, the lift couldn't lift the Bugatti, so I spent some more money, got some more pieces, did some more building, and ended up with this:20200406_175353.jpgit's basically just 2 copies of the original lift that are attached together. It still can't lift the Bugatti, but it is way more stable and I am working on a gear reduction mechanism to give it more torque.

    It's been awhile, but quarantine brings out the builder...

    I'm sure there are more I haven't posted, but these are from the last 24 hours. Built the Mustang, Challenger, Charger, ISS, and the structure you see everything on.

    The more I see the ISS in the wild, the more I like the set.

    It's a fun build, but mildly frustrating here and there. One thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't lock into the stand. It just kinda freefloats on it and that just doesn't work for me.

    I dug into my extra parts bins and pulled parts to fill the gap between the stand and the main body to make it become 1 unit and far more stable (we have earthquakes and a cat here...). For this I used 1 2x2 brick and a 2x2 plate per side in black. Also, added additional longer stabilizers to the front which also serve as locking points into the top base plate of the structure. For this I matched the length of the stabilizers on the back side of the frame and added components to mimic it (don't recall parts off the top of my head). Had I not said anything, you probably would not have noticed lol.

    Just my .02

    My son keeps talking about the damn pirate ship. It's taking everything I have to not tell him that I already pre-ordered it.

    I should take this time to start sorting all my boxes of sets. Then I look at them and I'm like, maybe tomorrow.
