What LEGO set did you build today?

[Vader888]

 Bought this used.  Took it apart to clean and rebuilt it.  Tedious task with mainly small pieces.  Hard to believe this set has over 2000 pieces.

I saw your buying post and I wanted to laugh at you for taking it apart and cleaning it (my used one came separated). That's so much work and the build is really tedious but it looks fantastic at the end.

Manbat is a repeat, although I don't believe the original had the back printing this one does.  This Manbat also has two faces.

Aside from the dual printed head with the second face giving a worried expression, this Man-Bat is exactly the same as the last one.

It was pretty dirty and dusty, so I felt compelled to take it apart.  I'm happy with the final result.

How much did you pay for your used one?

I got lucky and picked this up in an EBay auction for $12 plus $10 shipping. All the minifigs are there except for one skeleton crystal head dude. Less than 10 pieces missing and they will be picked up soon with some other stuff on Bricklink. I already have this set loose, but didn't have a box.

That's an amazing MOC with some fantastically designed artwork. Person was very talented. I'm surprised LEGO let them do that.

I guess it's a dedication to potential unrealized futures for Indiana Jones?

Finished one.  
Started another. 
Expect it’ll be the holidays before I have the time to finish the Shuttle

Ive built one of these with the other set the tree cutting tank. Fun sets!

Today I dug this one out of my loft to accompany my EV. I forgot what a nice little set this is, good selection of minifigs, a building and a vehicle. I know the perception of the EV is hugely divided on here, but for me, one of my favorite sets, and I personally think 8038 looks great next to it, albeit a little cramped!!!

After seeing the Westworld MOC, I had to do it. Spent the afternoon Saturday combing through the bulk lot I purchased last summer and managed to get this all done w/what I had. Besides the hair pc for Dr. Ford and his face (which I will sub out w/the old Han from the new MF later) all looks well to me. I might add a couple more heads behind the glass, and a case for the gold but besides that, I am very happy with it.

Fantastic MOC of a fantastic show!

It's quite a great show. We've got a bit of a breather between now and the next episode but I was wondering what to think about building next. Not that I have enough pcs to do it, but I thought that maybe a sweetwater scene might be cool (and feasible). Sand base plate, tons of brown bricks, a few horses for Hector's showdown and viola! Maybe the ewok village would be more valuable as a Westworld Sweetwater scene

$150.50 US in December 2015 on eBay.  I recall that it was only missing 4-5 minor pieces from the garage (black/trans)

When I first saw this MOC, the first thing I thought of was the "Governor". Now that would be an interesting MOC

I haven't seen Westworld, but now I want to see the temple of the Many-Faced God from GoT in Lego.

Built Tower of Orthanc this week.

Really liked the build and think the finished model is just class!!!

 

[Zelgazra]

Where did you find the "UCS Sticker"? Was it cheap? Could be a nice addition. You've also got ~$300 worth of Uruks there. Nice!

LEGOLAND California. I'm going to guess these will go wide release soon enough.

Spent an hour this afternoon building this. Lots of pieces for such a small set so it has a lot of detail. Fun stuff.
