Two of our more popular threads are "What LEGO set(s) did you buy today?" and "What LEGO set(s) did you sell today?" These threads are filled with great information. But we all know LEGO bricks are about "building" LEGO sets and models, so why shouldn't we talk about it on this site as well? I mean, many LEGO sets that are fantastic builds are also investment winners, so why shouldn't people share some of their experiences of build and set quality that might affect LEGO set values, either positively or negatively? Let us know what you built today and your overall thoughts on the set. Don't forget to leave more in depth reviews in our LEGO SET REVIEWS section...

Other the last few days I built the 7783 Batcave and I will put the stickers on this weekend.  I am very excited to own this, as in general this was similar to building a new set as only the two vehicles had ever been built, all extra pieces were in the box, instructions were, and are, in mint condition, and the modules of the build were never put together, just a few random pieces stuck together for no reason.

This is similar to 10937 AA Breakout in that it is occasionally an odd build but the end result is great, except for Robin, because he's Robin.  I wonder why the Batcave needs a net gun though and the ramp should be one stud lower so that the Batboat can go out the same way it came in, if it wanted.  I noticed that the zipline is too long for the set, so I added a tower to create line tension and the changing room is very clever but I don't not know what purpose the large cylinder serves .  Overall, a BEAUTIFUL set and this will pair brilliantly with the recent AA.

 

 

Wonderful!

 

I have to admit... I am jealous.

I did build The Detectives Office yesterday and today. I wanted to build a modular for quite some time now and finally did buy this one as my first modular (I own others but didn't build them).

Next one I want to build is either Pet Shop (as long as it is still available... even though I already do own some for investment...) or the Parisian Restaurant.

(Actually I'd prefer building PR but PS will be first to retire so I'll probably go for that one. Also it fits nicer to DO).

 

Sorry for the quality of the pictures!

Right now we have Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper preparing some cookies (come to the dark side... we have cookies!) while another stormtrooper is stormpooping.

Outside Marty McFly is being chased by Dr. Hibbert (inside of the big super secret police car) and Batman is on the roof together with the cat(maybe woman...).

The other minifigs that belong to the set are hanging out at The Highlanders, the detective is in his office (won't he smell the cookies as soon as he goes out on the floor??? o.O) and the police woman is getting her hair done at AL'S (by Al the barber...).

 

DO and PR (the newest modulars) are the best ones right now if you ask me. After putting together this one I just can recommend it to everyone! I guess in time I'll buy a second one to add another floor.

Still working on my Star Destroyers fleet. See pix for details. I have one more 10030 to build and will add some of the miniature Star Wars set I have from years ago to keep it all in scale.

Are you sure about that?  The older 10030s came in Light Gray (old gray) and the newer 10030s came in Light Bluish Gray (new gray).  Maybe it's just the picture but the discoloration is pretty uniform to me.

This is for sunday build...

...done for today

Completed the fairground mixer yesterday.  It was a fun build and entertaining to play with my daughter.

Finished the PC today. Used the custom Star Wars movie posters. Turned out nice. 

That's awesome! Did you make the movie posters yourself?

EBay has them.

Yup got em on ebay. Same seller also had Dark Knight trilogy and Back to the Future trilogy. I might do Dark Knight coming soon posters on the inside of the windows.

Wonderful! 

Or one could open an extra PC and make one twice as big. So you can put all the posters and do not have to choose!

Damn I want a 10030 bad..

I agree with you Alpine. I don't think it's discoloration as the color is very uniform. He has the old and new gray versions of 10030. It's really nice to be able to see the color difference. I have an old grey myself.

I have a new gray that I bought used easier this year that I need to put together. It really is striking to see them next to one another. I'm not sure which I like better.
