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...

Bags 7 and 8 today done

 

Beautiful rendition of the Ford GT designed by the 1:8 scale super car king @loxlego

My photos are crap, so if you want further info go here.

 

This shelf is pretty much his shelf.

The few missing parts I ordered arrived for the Indiana Jones 7623 Temple Escape set I bought off CL ($40) recently and it was a fun build with a lot of play features.  It is an impressive set for its size and it will be a little bit sad when it sells since I bought it for investment.  It did come with both instruction manuals and that was a bonus.

I have a couple of those. I need to sell one.

I lucked into that set cheap on eBay a couple years ago. I need to build it sometime.

Indy sets are one of my biggest regrets. I was still in my dark ages, but taking my daughter to LEGOLAND when those were out. I remember seeing them on the shelves. I even thought to myself “if I collected LEGO I’d buy those.”

Right. I even picked up the Lego game and had a lot of fun with it but never bought any of the sets until I was out of my dark ages. I have a close to complete Temple Escape I need to dig back out and finish acquiring the pieces for. 

FBA return, where they sent the customer the wrong item and then returned this to me. Nice of them to slap the shipping label on the box and send it back to me this way. It happened twice with Emma’s House over the holidays, sent Sunshine Ranches to my customers with KMart clearance stickers on them.

My daughter and I put it together. She made it through 2 bags with me before she started playing, as I was building. Much nicer set than I always thought it would be, solid build.

Built this today, I picked it up of of eBay fairly cheap with plans to build and keep it.  Made it through 2 bags with my son before he started playing with the buildable figure.

My son and I built this. Love the suspension. 60180 - Monster Truck

Built this today. 21123 - The Iron Golem

Will keep the figs for the Halloween Town and throw the bricks into the bin.

Finished 10260 Downtown Diner today.  Really fun build.  Always like to see some new and different building techniques and the modulars generally do not disappoint.  The stairway in the back of the building is pretty amazing how they came up with that.  I personally really like the look of this one, though I can see how others would not.  Different lines are always welcome with me and this one has many.  The modular builders are getting away from the basic square build which is nice, though the more traditional building has its place as well.

40306 - LEGOLAND Castle

First set completed out of a lot that managed to pull me back into bulk.

@Shewie That P51 is AWESOME!

I didn't build "today", but it's been my current project that I just finished within the past couple days and since I just found the love here, I figured I'd share the love! If Ya'll are not aware of this set, it's part of the Lego Certified Professional Brand Limited to 100pcs Exclusively at the "The Renault Workshop" in Paris.  There were 2 other sets released that day, a Speed Champions series RS17 (1000pcs) and a Concept RS27 Expert Creator (40pcs) set.  The set pictured below is the Creator Expert RS17 model.  I sourced the instructions and built the set from scratch while also creating the stickers from scratch (happy to help others just send me a PM).  My build progress was detailed on a thread here in these forums.  I welcome others to join the adventure for this awesome set.  It's stunning on display.

Lego City 60183 Heavy Cargo Transport

 

My son and I worked on 70750 - Ninja DB X.

Fun set! I like that it has a lot of different things to it. Good selection of minifigs, too.

My son and I started in on 70751 - Temple of Airjitsu today.

Much to my son’s dismay, my wife built 60146 - Stunt Truck today. He got a few steps in and took a break. She sat down and next thing we knew she was done.

I finally finished our Bounty upgrade MOC and put it with the rest of our ships.

Sails were more difficult than I had thought , so will re do them again one day as I’m not happy with them. Overall though , a great looking ship I think.

Nice! I have all of those. Just not assembled and on display. Now I have a goal.

maybe not much but it delivers, my small adorable Tidirium Shuttle.

which set is that on the top left? That's awesome.

70810 - Metalbeard’s Sea Cow.

A personal favorite build and display piece.

can't edit anymore so if "mode" could merge together
my quick during "netflix binge" update

Didn't build anything but have been disassembling sets and boxing inventory for a move. Really makes you appreciate the sets that have more modular construction features. And loathe the more integral ones.
