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...

Easter morning fun with the kids...

They look like twins...

My daughter got the Olaf poly and I got the Shadow Troopers for Easter so we built those. I like Olafs floaty reindeer and the Shadow Troop minifigs are as BA as I thought they would be.

Kids got one Chicken Suit guy each, girl got the honeybee keychain, boy got the Aaron keychain.

No building though!

FO TIE, Advanced TIE and Poe's X-wing poly's for my son as part of the Easter egg hunt; Olaf's summer time fun, Friends popstar and parrot polybags for my daughter.

Love the X-wing, really nice looking build. FO Tie also really good looking.

Between a birthday this week and Easter we had a few things to build today.

41089 Little Foal

10665 Spider-Man: Spider-Car Pursuit

70736 Attack of the Morro Dragon

Morro Dragon looks and builds so much better than I expected. I really liked it.

I built the milano today. Really enjoyed it.

I wasn't sure at first because I hadn't seen the movie yet. After watching the movie and then building it I made sure to buy more on clearance and strategically buy other random clearance sets to build more in different colors. My sons room is going to be awesome once I find the time to build them and hang them.

Morro, Master Wu's and Titanium dragon were all really great sets to build.

Today I managed to finish building the Grand Emporium. For the photo I placed it between 10246 and 41101 which were built in the past two weeks.

Some people complain about the built being repetitious but I didn't mind that. What I did find noticeable when I opened the bags was the absence of a brick seperatator as Its regular inclusion in bigger sets is something one gets accustomed to with time.

I still have a second GE to realize an extension of this modular building at some point. The parts of two GEs might not be enough though

Did you MOC the back of the Friends Hotel 41101 to make it more like a modular? I'm thinking of doing that but is wondering if others have the same idea.

No, I didn't modify the back yet but I'm thinking about making it into a modular at some point. What I did though was replacing all the visible gold and grey parts of the grand piano with their black counterparts. In my opinion, it looks much nicer now.

 

I also started building another set big set. A few small models are already completed:

Over the holidays. 

Got to say, somewhat disappointed, it’s much smaller than I expected. No doubt it makes for a great play set, but the build, not so much.. 
 

@feed: Is that ISD 75055? The box of that set is quite big so that's surprising.

 

Finished building that Batman set with the exception of Batmobile and Batcopter and the superhero minifigures. Those are already packed for sale to recoup parts of the original costs.

It was a fun build and the final result is more impressive than I imagined. A lot of people complain about the set but I think it's cool. I'm not a fan of superheroes and Batman though.

 

And this is how it could look like if integrated into a modular street.

It is a 75055 and it could just be my expectation, really just felt small a £120 RRP set and as I’ve been moving them at £170ish feels even smaller for that. Secondary market prices for some sets surprise me.

Try to find the 6211.  It is a larger set and was more satisfying to build.

 

 

 

And to the last post - I really like the look of that modular wall, there is some potential there for creative people (not me)

I don't ever expect to find Wayne Manor in my neighborhood.

Then maybe a move is called for.

I'm sort of being a traitor again. This is a rebuy after selling several of these over a year ago. My son is into Halo, what can I say?

I hear those things are a PIA to build , though the final product looks cool from the videos .

My daughter discovered American Girl minifigs and sets from M***B****. So I hear ya.

It's actually not bad after the pieces are sorted.  You pretty much have to open every bag though.  Trial and error, but this build is pretty great so far.  It's a heavy beast for sure.

Latest build and first big one in a while that hasn't been star wars related.
