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...

New book promo... it's absolutely fabulous. This and the snowglobe are easily my two favorite promo sets of all time.

Built 75933 T.rex Transport today. The T-Rex may look a little bit weird because it's still sealed as I'm not going to keep it. The truck is quite nice but I'll try to exchange some of the black parts for dark blue if possible. I love the Zia Rodriguez minifigure, and can see it being a normal citizen in any LEGO town or an employee in a natural history museum. And the baby dino is cute.

Father's day build: Managed to build the entire Silent Mary yesterday in between helping with 1mo twins. 3yo helped with minifigs. Pretty cool set. Was too late to the game to compare to QAR or BP.

I spent the day with my favorite mini-fig building the Palace Cinema in these sweet new matching shirts!

Not Lego but my son wanted to do the Kinetic Foam gift he got for his birthday. I tried my best and this was the result. Lesson learned: Don't buy Kinetic Foam as a gift unless you hate the parents. LOL  We both laughed so hard with the end result even though we were frustrated while doing it.

I built Lady Liberty last night. She’s a fun build and a very nice model. I plan on doing a facelift this weekend.

I spent this morning building a pirate scene by combining some baseplates, three pirate sets (6253 – Shipwreck Hideout, 70412 – Soldiers Fort and 70413 – The Brick Bounty) and some mini-builds from the Fun at Beach set (60153).  The letters that spell Dad were a Father’s Day present from my daughter.

The build was a family affair with my son choosing a spot for the shipwreck set, my daughter placing the fort set and my wife suggesting the colors for the wave MOC for The Brick Bounty.  The artwork on the boxes was a huge help for set placement - what part of each set goes on land and what goes into the water. 

For the waves MOC I opened the 10697 Large Creative Box I have been saving.  I made a place for the back of the ship to rest on and an opening for the rudder.  The Brick Bounty must be careful in the area because one ship has already gone down!

While building it I saw the shark from one of the sets and my mind wandered to a scene in The Lego Movie, “There were sharks, laser sharks and then there were more sharks!”

I was hoping you had your own original MOC. I’ve seen that one. A bit manish.

I have this Lego Set 1990-1: Lego F1 Race Car, it was popular in the 90's and every kid wants to have. Luckily I got one that time that made me famous in my neighborhood.

Finished this one.

My 10 yr old daughter wanted the slug bug for making A’s all year and knocked it out last week. Her birthday is Monday so I got her the Hogwarts train and she just about knock that one out today 

Finally got round to sourcing all of the bricks required to build this. Substituted some of the non black bricks with black. Quite happy with the end result.
