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...

Nice quick and easy build, price wise probably slightly high at £30 but it does include some nice figs, and you get Hans new hair piece without dropping £400 on the new DS. Plus a must to sit alongside Jabbas sail barge which I will build again soon. Enjoy the pics (pinched Luke from my sons advent calendar)

I forgot to buy the pieces to do this change this year.  Maybe next year!

I've been waiting months to start this build. Fun taking my time and seeing how it's coming together.

Need a Dr. Dre minifig, with a white sox hat on, to ride shotgun.

no hat, sorry

Well I'm Eazy-E, I got Lego sets galore, you may have a lot of Lego but I got much more....

So, half way through Red Five!!

Liking the way it's coming together. But....I hope the person that decided to go with stickers for the canopy rather than a print never worked for Lego again!!

I was going to ask the same but after little zoom on the stickers....Porsche.

no hat, sorry

Are these available for sale some place? Got a friend who I've recently got into Lego. He bought the pimp mobile, but would be incredibly thrilled to have a Snoop Dogg to go with it. I'm on the lookout for him!

Quick build I did on my lunch earlier today...

 

Finished up the Caterham tonight.  Love it and it looks good in the case next to my F50 (although the mismatch in scales bugs me a little

What case is that?

It's actually a Devries retail jewelry display case.  Pretty hard to come by, as just like the LEGO displays they are supposed to be destroyed or returned when no longer needed.   I must have trolled craigslist for 6 months plus before this one popped up at a descent price.  Here is an earlier picture of the whole case when I first got it.  Its about 22" inches square for size reference.

Now that's class.

 I was bored today and my only access to real Lego was a droid escape set with no stickers, and a random police minifigure. Here is what happened. It actually holds a pilot, and the stand can be positioned to look like the ship is taking off or hovering.

I see you lock away the RMOs and helmet   I use 6 Ikea Detolfs and seal up the sides with corner protector from Home Depot.  I have to use gaffers tape to keep it "locked" so the 3yr old doesnt get into them.  All helmets, models, Star Wars and difficult to rebuild sets go in, otherwise Godzilla will completely destroy everything.  Its about 400 lbs of glass on the cases with extra glass shelving so military moves get interesting.

Ive been planing on doing this. Looks fantastic. What was the rough cost?

Finally got around to starting this one.
