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...

The picture distorts the scale somewhat but yes the system scale model easily fits under. 
 

I probably won’t have time to finish building this week. My impressions so far:  Lots of technic bits go into the build but it’s fun. It’s a fantastic $640 UCS set that Lego tacked an extra 20% onto for die hard AT-AT fans such as myself.

Jang demonstrates this by placing the regular release under it, fits easily.

is it as repetitious as it looks to build the 4 legs?  Are you basically building all 4 at the same time?

Repetitive yes. But surprisingly I enjoyed it. More so than the 2020 system scale AT-AT. I think it’s due to the complexity that keeps it more engaging. Basically build all four parts at the same time. I felt like one of Santa’s elves tooling away. YMMV of course. 

The Bronco is more like a Creator Expert vehicle then a SC build. Going to do the GT tonight.

Can we get a PPG comparison? Oh, and NO Toe pics please

We'd have to have the old msrp or current value price to argue over first.

Toe pics are for the onlyfans account, not giving that away for free.. Gotta Bronco to pay for!

Nice! Figured folks were flipping their broncos out of the gate?

Flapped a bunch of these and then realized I never kept one to build and really wanted to build it.  Found on on FB for $20, they built bags 1 and 2 then stopped.

Anyone have a real one of these to post up?

quite a few are,  originally planned to, but for now am enjoying it.

Not worried about this one dropping much over time.  The Lightning Blue will be the color collectors want being the only exclusive to the first edition.

There's an exclusive colour to this set? I had no idea and I own a bunch of SC sets to build, thanks for the heads up so I can grab one.

Yay LEGO!

He loves the show Dinosaur Train... so we did this. Now he won't stop singing the theme song.

A year later, a busier setup, and an additional messy kid. Baby #3 due in March, Boy #3. At this rate all those Elves sets I have set aside for "future girl" are going to end up on Amazon. Will give it another try in a few years.

Another year... another kid. Same train. Mrs. Brickvoyeur is building the gingerbread house, while I get to finish up the Bakery and Post Office. Doubtful the Fire Station or Market make an appearance this year. 

The Cottage will eventually find its way to me for under $100 like all the other old Winter Village sets have.

Another year.... another kid.... same train. It's clear that no form of non permanent birth control can defeat our ultra fertility. 

The oldest let me condense his zoo just enough to jam Christmas town in. Just a couple small sets added this year. The toy shop never got rebuilt due inventory and staffing shortages. There are a lot of set 10241 sitting off the coast of the table.

A couple more years and you'll have a six pack. I can remember each of these as they were posted. It is clear you love your wife and for that I raise my glass of, well, eggnog to be seasonal I guess. (Non-alcoholic, of course.)

Serious Elf Clubhouse work to complete the village before Mass. Happy Holidays, All!!

I finished rebuilding 10255 Assembly Square this morning.

I ended up completing 8 modulars and the Lantern Festival in Mils. Only 6 modulars plus extras to go next year.

I hope to run Christmas lights through the town next year, but between life, a second child, and the fact I didn't even get to build the Christmas sets this year, I doubt it happens.

Merry Christmas everybody.

Yay LEGO!

I’ve been building assembly square for the past two maybe three months, I’m ashamed to admit. Lol. Time to knock it out, I’m on the #6 bags.

Love it! I love Stay Puft, but dang I wish we could get an official brick built Stay Puft.

Finished Home Alone yesterday, just in time for Christmas! Picture is not very good, but it's an awesome set, really stunning level of detail inside and a fun build. Looking forward to displaying this for many Holidays to come. Merry Christmas!
