It's becoming quite the line-up for this "series" of statues: (recent Yoda), Porg, BB8, (Wall-E), R2D2

size-wise and details checks many boxes for display...I just think so many have been made (based on seeing so many on retailer shelves) that it will take some time (if ever) to appreciated meaningfully...but nonetheless great series to collect for AfoLs looking to display

I love the smooth look of the flat plates and surfaces, but man do they show fingerprints.  Even if I wash my hands before building the pieces still show greasy fingerprints.  I end up wiping the whole set down when I'm finished (the Mustang was the worst for this).

About to start this big boy. No numbered bags?! Old school technic time I guess. 
 

Just noticed I got two identical sticker sheets. Anyone else built this know if that's standard?

Two recent builds:

1. Hogwarts Great Hall (expanded using 2 sets - but only pieces from the sets, no add-ons). Was fairly straight-forward to do. Increased width and height.

2. Fully enclosed Hagrid's Hut (using 2 sets, no additional pieces). This one was a bit more tricky, as it I had to make the bases hexagonal to keep the shape of the huts.

Lol, I cracked open an orange porsche a couple years ago and have yet to finish.  Those Technic sets take forever, lol.

That's awesome.  I wish I had the time to do this.  Usually the first thing I think about is combining several of the same sets to make more massive, complete builds.  Good job

76052 Classic Batcave. Have never seen the classic show, so my description will be in layman's terms. Overall, a decent, but not great, set. Similar to the disaster hoth set, I found it to be too many small parts lacking coordination. However, I found the "manor" facade and building excellent, as well as the batmobile. In my opinion, all 3 buildings should have been the same height, this is the biggest negative aspect. This could have been achieved by decreasing the height of the right building and eliminating the batmobile parking spot. That is filler and useless. The chopper pad could have then had something else underneath, and above the console section could have been another section of the house. 3 "medium height" buildings with a facade on the outside of each, would have presented a respectable manor, as opposed to what we got here.

I call this my ebay barn find. This was a terribly written listing that had wrong model number. I made a super low ball offer that was accepted. Paid too much for slow delivery, but finally arrived, tore it down, washed it up, put it back together from scratch, replaced missing parts and turned out to get a sweet cheap Ferrari in the end. Pretty happy overall.

Badly written EBay postings are your best friend. I have now twice scored great deals on listings that were for multiple sets but failed to mention this in the listing title and main picture. Most people just glance and don't realize its a 2-for-1.
