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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboJet Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 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).

marcandre Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) 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?

Phil B Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I cracked open an orange porsche a couple years ago and have yet to finish. Those Technic sets take forever, lol. On 12/29/2019 at 11:52 AM, Phil B said: Two recent builds: 1.

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.

Popular Post thebrickdad Posted December 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2019 As a build over Christmas with my youngest we finished Treebeard (with some modifications to Jason Allemann's original design to fit Pippin and Merry).Jasons only used parts came from a (crushed box) 10236 but we ended up adding a few other types of foilage. Still planning to sort out the face a bit, but overall we are really happy with it. A great build and one we'll keep and have a case built for. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post eliminator Posted December 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2019 Glad I kept one OFS to build! Much more enjoyable than expected. I'm definitely going to keep it in my collection. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlambert2004 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Finished this fun build. I was very impressed with the techniques used and the overall look of the finished models, especially the T. rex. Now on to this one...finally! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_mafia Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 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.

Popular Post bigfanofnu Posted January 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2020 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. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbad87 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I've never played Overwatch but I think a bunch of the sets are cool. The Walmart sale forced my hand. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmpirate Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Made a trip with my boys to one of our local Lego Stores for their monthly build. They also gave us a mini bat mobile to build later but we haven't started yet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MusiKyle Posted January 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2020 Been waiting for 31105 Toy Store to come out for my amusement park. Bought two and built the 2nd one as a mirror image of the first. In the process of turning the 2nd one into an ice cream shop. These two buildings will eventually form the entrance to "main street" at the park. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
