  1. Finally got together the missing parts for my UCS General Grievous 10186 that I bought used a while back for $90, so I built it over the weekend. My primary observations are that 1- it is huge compared to what I expected and 2- it seems unstable compared to most of the other sets I have built. I could definitely see my son demolishing this things in no time. I usually build these with the kids, but they were out in Yellowstone camping so I took the opportunity to build this one while they were away since several of you guys had mentioned it is a more fragile build than most...good call! Look how big it is next to some of the other relatively large sets!

  4. Having now built this, it's no wonder why Lego haven't released a UCS AT-AT. Despite his being well designed and structurally very stable it was a bit of nightmare putting everything together. I spent almost a day attaching the head onto the body. Biggest build to date coming in at just over 6700 pieces. Hopefully that will be topped by the new Falcon and then my UCS collection is complete with respect of in my opinion all of the iconic ships in Star Wars universe.

  5. Months ago I bought a 30 pound lot from Goodwill and just hadn't had the gumption to open it. So this weekend to avoid cleaning I started sorting it. After sorting it looked like the first picture. I built the first set out of the lot, which was a Raiders Temple Escape. The only thing missing from the entire set was two of the eight gold coins, crazy. Already posted it to BL and CL, this would more than pay for the original buy, plus there's some portion of a 6210 Jabba's Sail Barge (all the figs and sails are there) and an Exo-Force Sentai Fortress. There are also a bunch of Technic instructions, I'll have to see what's actually there. I'll keep the Sail Barge and sell everything else.

  6. I know some of you have been thinking about the launch tower for the Saturn V. Here it is on the Lego Ideas site. One of the same designers created it. You can't complain about a repetitious build when it this cool. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/a88109ec-9970-4fe1-98b4-9bd535856ab4

  12. Ha! I straightened it out right after I took the pic. It bothered me as well...but I decided to post the pics as they were and let it bother many of you too:) Thanks! It was originally in an old pharmacy in Birmingham, AL in the 20s, and I picked it up about 20 years ago when the family that used to own the pharmacy sold it in the classifieds. Good ole pre-craigslist days when you had work for a find. Lol.

  13. I am working on 60080 Spaceport. This one looked really good for being a normal set (I have never built anything City from new). I have not went down the UCS, Expert path yet for anything. I am up to book 5 (final book and it is for the boosters). Next set to build is either the 75158 Rebel Combat Frigate, 6211 Star Destroyer or 8039 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser.

  14. 1, That part freaked me out. 2. I need to get those rolling shelves for my house 3. Who let those hippies in there to man-handle those beautiful boxes? Where was the respect? Where were the gloves? Did they even bother to wipe the cheeto dust off their fingers before defiling that temple? gasp.

  16. What screams more to my attention is the lack of UCS TIE, Slave, ToA and Minecraft Village. PC, T1 and TB are all there, though.

  20. So, I finally decided to crack open the set after being able to find time. However, I had to call in some additional help. "Okay, team. Grab that thing-a-ma-brick and we'll attach it to here..." "Okay, Captain. I'm going to give you this injection for space sickness. So hold still. This won't hurt...much.." "Uh...doctor, are you sure...." "Shhhhh."

  30. My daughter got 41122 Adventure Camp Tree house for her 8th birthday and enjoyed building it, which a little help from me. Especially cheese-slopes and other small details she finds still tricky. And after building it she also enjoys playing with it.

  32. Welcome. I'd say flip the Saturns now. Last I heard they are going to be out of stock until somewhere in August. You'll be able to get them cheaper eventually. You wait for a good deal and that is when you buy. Unless you're trying to flip or it's some kind of limited edition set. By the way, there is a dedicated thread for most popular sets, including the Saturn V. You should check it out and see what other people are doing.

  36. Finished building this today. Very fast build since there aren't a lot of pieces. Still love the design and I think it displays very very well. Can't believe it's 15+ year old set.

  41. Gorgeous creation by Lox Lego. The creation of curves and style used worked quite well for this car. If you would like more info see the home page for this creation: Hennessey Venom GT In its new garage spot with some of the other super cars. Fits right in!
