August 27, 20178 yr Popular Post Finished off the Fire Brigade tonight. Good times and lots of memories from the first time I built this one many years ago.
August 27, 20178 yr We started to build all our random bad investments as we're in a suburb of Houston and stuck inside for at least the next 7 days of flooding:( we and neighbors are all safe at least. I wanted to go help out but can't drive even a mile to get to where help is needed.I guess it's good I had sets that stunk for investment so I do not feel bad opening them
August 27, 20178 yr Sorry to hear about the flooding. Glad you are safe. Today I built the Ultimate Batmobile Set from the Lego Batman Movie theme. The set itself is awesome and was fun to build. I was super pumped to get Polka Dot Man and Alfred. My only critique is I wish there were some more mini-figs with the set. A couple more villains would have made it awesomer!
August 28, 20178 yr Took a little time away from the Disney Castle, but we've been slowly getting back into it. Wife is getting jealous since daughter and I have been the ones working on it lately.
August 28, 20178 yr In the past week I built 8095 Grievous Starfighter, 7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid, 8019 Republic Attack Shuttle, 8036 Separatist Shuttle and 7665 Republic Cruiser. Finally finishing off some of the sets that have been sitting around missing parts for more than a year. I just got the parts needed to finish up 9493, but decided to buy the parts to color swap it and make a Blue Squadron X-Wing, so I'm waiting for them to arrive.
August 28, 20178 yr I've been working on #71042 Silent Mary the past week. Enjoying the build so far as I'm up to bag #9 of 13. This is the first ship that I have built. I've got about 90% of the #4184 Black Pearl which is my next goal to build. Still got my eye out for a cheap #4195 Queen Anne though...
August 29, 20178 yr Popular Post I haven't had time to crack open a new set for a month or so. Tonight Mags asked to build the Duplo train (10810) I picked up on Walmart clearance. Not quite a UCS set or a modular, but we had fun and BB8 rode in style!
August 29, 20178 yr Popular Post Bought and rebuilt a Queen Anne's Revenge (4195) with the thought to flip it. This is my first ship from Pirates. But now that I've built it I don't want to part ways with it. Such an awesome ship! [emoji21] In fact now I want the Pearl.... ugh lol
August 29, 20178 yr Lol. That was me a couple years ago. QAR was my first LEGO ship. Built it thinking I'd sell it off. Now it's a prized possession. I've got a Black Pearl in a bulk box waiting for me to get to someday.And now I've got 4 or 5 ships sitting in the storage area waiting for me to build - Sea Cow, last Pirates ship, Silent Mary - to name a few.

So you are saying I'm going to get sucked into this black hole of pirate ship collecting? HahaHow many are there total? 5 including latest (from pirates of the Caribbean theme)
August 29, 20178 yr So you are saying I'm going to get sucked into this black hole of pirate ship collecting? HahaHow many are there total? 5 including latest (from pirates of the Caribbean theme)Ships are bad ass. The prized one of them all is the Imperial Flagship [emoji12]
August 29, 20178 yr So you are saying I'm going to get sucked into this black hole of pirate ship collecting? HahaHow many are there total? 5 including latest (from pirates of the Caribbean theme)The large ships are:Black Seas BarracudaSkull's Eye SchoonerQueen Anne's RevengeBlack PearlImperial FlagshipSilent MarySea CowThen there's a bunch of medium and small ships from the recent Brick Bounty to old ones like the Imperial Armada and Renegade Runner and there are a couple of crossover ships (Durmstrang and Pirate Ship Ambush)
August 29, 20178 yr Don't forget the new Destiny's Bounty [emoji4] Ah yes, I forgot about the Desiny Bounty because I haven't bought it yet

So of the major ships there are only 3 from POC right? Queen Anne's / The Pearl / Silent Mary?? I think I may stick to those three. I was out of the Lego game when they were making the POC ships, but why no Flying Dutchman???

September 2, 20178 yr Just finished 6753 Creator transporter. Bought for €26 (postage included) on done deal (local ad site)..main build is shy 6 parts (5 of which I have in spares). Bargain buy IMO and I expect to flip at a profit once the kids have had some fun with it
September 3, 20178 yr Popular Post Finally got ahold of my most wanted set, now I can get to work on my Halloween display with HH, VC, all Scooby sets, and the Simpsons house going to make a cul du sac with them full of trick or treaters (every minifig I have that looks like a costume) PS: if you need two Chima clocks still in box, I've got a deal for you.
September 3, 20178 yr I built BB-8 and the Resistance Transport Pod. The Transport pod turns out to be a tiny ship when it is done. It is shorter than Luke's Landspeeder. For the same rrp the Imperial Hovertank is a much more satisfying build. BB=8 got my wife's approval for displaying in the living room. She said it's cute.
