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...

Built the LEM yesterday in honor of the 50th anniversary of the landing and watched From The Earth To The Moon on HBO. 

Also built the LEM (with my son) and watched Apollo 11 on Blu-Ray

Just finished watching, it was great, tons of footage I've never seen and all restored beautifully.

Very nice! What's the ship in the middle that looks bigger than the Imperial Flagship? I'm drawing a blank and tried to google it with no luck.

That's what it looks like, I really hope for another giant ship here soon.

Now it's clear as day. I don't have Destiny's Bounty so I didn't pick up on the obvious clues. Thanks!

Yep , its a MOC of 2 Bountys from a YouTuber called Moc Your Bricks . He does heaps of different ships. My attempt at sails needs another go , but it’s harder than I thought to get them looking  right. Going to try wallpaper next.

I did this thing.

Superb.  I wasn't going to get one just quite yet, but as I've still got 10 x 75112's (another set I had high hopes for) I think I'll pop one open and do the same. Loving it...

Now they need to do a Captain America figure!

I love how this thing looks like a full-sized motorcycle in your living room!

My kids were in the building mood over the weekend.

Coming along nicely

Built the 6286 Skull's Eye Schooner today. Didn't apply the sails because they are in pristine shape, perhaps never used before and I want to sell this thing. Fun build, I'm typically not a fan of these huge ships. Missing just a handful of minor pieces.

Lockwood Estate was a surprisingly fun build.  I'm going to steal that window technique for future MOCs.  I'll end up putting this in my city, I like it arranged like it is with less of a sprawling mansion look left-to-right and more of a Creator Expert modular look.  Thank you Wal-Mart clearance for $64.  I could see why buying several of these would be great for a large MOC given all those light tan colors. I'll probably end up taking off those two brown dinosaur exhibits on the sides. 

Lunch Date with my daughter and we decided to build TLM2 Brickheadz Sweet Mayhem 41637 to add to her collection. Fun little build!

This is set 10230 with additions. Most of the additional modulars are modified versions of the mini modulars created by "o0ger". They are now sitting on the shelf behind me at work. Now if I only had the time to build my actual modulars.

Did you get those added sets whole or just instructions? I've been seeing those mini-modulars and I want to add them to my set as well.

I had to pick the pieces out of my spares, then bricklink the rest. Many of the pieces from the actual instruction files were using pieces in colors that did not actually exist, so it couldn't be imported into Bricklink. It was a nightmare inventorying the LDD file, and making a Bricklink wanted list, to get everything together to build it.... and somehow the auto instruction generator in LDD was even worse. Most of it was actual building process upside down and parts magically going into the middle of of already built sections.

I looks good in the end, but knowing how much of a pain these little sets were going to be.... I'd probably still do it again.

I built the 487 Space Cruiser after getting many of the parts from BrickLink, minus the pieces such as the LL924 bricks, the white arrow bricks, the forklift piece and Blue Slope with the classic space logo brick among other things, I was able salvage from my old set.  It was a fun and nostalgic build that took me back to my childhood!  

The old pieces were faded from age and most of the replacements pieces are common parts that are fairly easy to find.

I hope that I will be able to find the red and white space minifigures at BrickFair this weekend.
