Much more enjoyable then Big Ben but smaller. 

 

i would rather have the thumb back with correct pic rotation 

Finally built the xmas promo ornament from last year. Looks great on our new tree. 

 

Built the holiday train and three ornaments. 

We finished our winter scene... my oldest son says the green and orange snow plow doesn't belong but my youngest keeps playing with it.



Wish we had some more white plates but looks good enough. First time we've ever assembled them at the same time.

The 911 GT3RS is truly office display worthy and mine isn't even fully built yet.  Here's box 4.  

Just finished building my first ever UCS set. Picked up a Tie Fighter in Black Friday sale and I'm delighted with it. Enjoyable build (I expected it to be a little repetitive) and the finished item is really impressive. Really big and looks great!

I have to say, this has been a pleasant build so far for the kiddo and I.

Had to get this one myself - great car with fun suspension.  Feels pretty solid too, although I wish the trunk could (easily) fit the Joker's gun and Harley's bat.  Here's mine for good measure...

 On their way are the Batmobile and Mr. Freeze...

My growing racecar collection ... the boys are ready to take their expensive cars for a spin on the LEGO scenic route shortly.

 

This one was 90% me and not the 4 year old.

Green NRG Dragon 70593

LEGO keeps knocking it put of the park with the Elves and Ninjago Dragons. They may remaking fire stations and landspeeders but these are great.

@Alpinemaps I got excited seeing your post because I thought you were going to show off your unicorn friends set.  Maybe next time.

Check the buy today thread later.

Latest UCS set. If only Lego could make them like they used to!

Finally built a slave 1 last week. What an awesome set!

What are your thought on it?

I liked it. Fun, but quick, build. More importantly though, the colors are nice and bright and it is very Christmas-y.

I think it's a good pick up for investment. It's a unique piece with some unique pieces.

Finally put together one of my tumblers,

wow! This was a lot of fun, the rest of the gang decided to have a party on the new rig...

Built these over the last week or so with my son. Gotta say I'm quite impressed with the speed champions sets, great little builds.

You must have kraggled it, ours would have crumbled if we tried to add minifigures to it.

I will admit there was a couple times I thought about the kraggle..

I think out of all the sets I've put together this one is the least sturdy, clearly not a play set.

Got to build the new Lego Batman Movie Batmobile and Mr. Freeze sets.  What a difference...

Batmobile set

Mr. Freeze set

The Batmobile is clearly a better set and not just because it has more bricks.  The articulation on the wheels, while not critically important, allows the Batmobile to sit higher or lower (think monster truck vs. dragster) depending on your preference, and can also swing out for "flight-mode".  The vehicle itself is really slick, and I love how all of Batman's vehicles have their names "stenciled" on the side.  The Batman and Robin figs are great, while the twins are just okay and Manbat is a repeat, although I don't believe the original had the back printing this one does.  This Manbat also has two faces.

That said, the other set was disappointing.  Mr. Freeze, the star of the set, is downright pitiful.  While the Mr. Freeze minifigure is excellent, the mech-suit looks like an anorexic mixel.  In the past, Lego has given us such great mechs that I've come to expect excellence but this one misses the mark.  I even like the little scene and how it combines with two others, but the mech just kills the set.  The "ice encasing bricks" have been done before, but the designer chose to use gray bricks at the base inexplicably.  Disappointing...
