midbenne Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 My boy started this a couple weeks ago but only got about 15 pcs in...I wanted to finish it up yesterday and here's the end result. This time used the GS7 Edge for convenience sake, as well as being rather impressed after seeing the macro images it can produce. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redghostx Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 21017 Imperial Hotel "Fun build" is not usually associated with the architecture line but the Imperial Hotel build was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and not too repetitive. I would have liked more architect information in the manual because I do not know as much about this set as I do for the other architecture sets. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought the build was very repetitive right in the middle, but picks up once you get past the walls and the windows. Finished product is totally worth it though.

Finished product is totally worth it though. It's a little bit repetitive but not compared to the other larger sets like Villa Savoye, White House, and Robie House (ugh). I can handle a few steps of repetition when it is only 7-9 pieces each and aren't full of 1x1 plates or tiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feed Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 These guys have been staring at me with a 30% discount on and off for the last few months, so I thought I’d give them a go, see if they had any potential. Like the Garbage Truck, others not so such, all feel small. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 6344 Jet Speed Justice from 1993. I'm helping out a fellow LUG member who wants to rebuild a ton of sets he has in storage. Everything is complete and bagged and instructions are included. Makes life pretty easy. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locutus001 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 This weekend I built UCS Slave I and I really do like it. There are some weakpoints to it (the hull could have been more weathered, the loading ramp isn't as awesome as I would have liked it to be...) but the overall building experience and result are great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Fenix_2k1 Posted May 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2016 I bought a second hand 10212 last week and built it at the weekend. I had no idea of the scale of this thing. It's HUGE. Pic next to my 10188 for comparison. For 350gbp I consider this a bit of a bargain. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stud-Flipper Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) I built 75112 General Grievous today. It looks so realistically true to the character.The finished model looks amazing. It works really well with the bionicle/technic style pieces versus some of the other Star Wars characters that just look awkward. But it really plays well with his roboticness. And it's so much bigger than I expected. The box really doesn't do it justice IMO. Like, I look at this huge thing on my shelf now, and size-wise, it looks like a $50 or $60 set. And it's flexability/posability is amazing as well. Edited May 16, 2016 by Stud-Flipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Quinjet is really small, about half the size of the original. Without seeing the movie yet, not sure if this is intentional or if they are just saving pieces. Giant Man is really cool when done and a pretty simple build. Too bad on the stickers for him, but it comes out pretty good. Getting an extra Ant-Man statue was nice of Lego too. Do you think this set will be valuable after EOL since it has the two versions of Ant-Man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
