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...

Holiday Build No 2. Having seen Rogue One, there was no excuse to put off building this any longer.  Just have to carefully apply the stickers.

Is that the 8448 with the F1 tires?

8461, the tires have just been used to prop up the frame.

I built it so long ago I guess I forgot!  Great display set!

finished F40 today,funniest ideas building so far, better than beetle and VW

I finally finished the 911 last night. Just an awesome set. It's huge, I'll have to widen the roads in my city to accommodate it.

I'd say!  The Stay Puft marshmallow man would have to drive it.

Or you can rotate the tires 90 degrees and build a fluxcapacitor in the back ....

Started the build on this set

It really is a beautiful box and the internal packaging is top shelf!

My 5 yr old nephew (6 in March) built the Hulk Buster 76031 with a little help from his Uncle.  I know others have said this before, but what a fun set to build and play, perfect combo!

 

My own polybag.. this one has winner all over it. 

Bought a damaged box Wall - E a couple of weeks ago and built it today. One of the best sets in that price range for a long long time. He will be a permament part of the furniture now, even the Mrs. likes him.  

Built a used 10212 UCS Imperial Shuttle that I picked up for $230 with shipping a couple weeks ago. What an impressive set. I knew it was a large set but it always seems bigger when it sits in the dining room table.

Had all minifigs no box no instructions. I can cross this set off my list.

Have to admit to some serious brick envy.  $230! Well done, makes it that much better

No kidding. That's one of my white whales and $230 would have been a no brainer pick up for me. Lots of jealousy from me.

My 4 year old built this over the course of a few days with only minor help.  She wanted ponies for Xmas.

Snow day here so built two ugly sets AA and Chicago, not sure which is worse. The white on AA is supposed to be snow after I shovel out tomorrow I will replace it with black and dark grey but still not sure if it can help this set. I know Asylums are not supposed to look nice but this thing is bad. It does come with 12 Minifigures and a cop car but unless it gets major screen time in the movie I can't see buying this for a kid as a play set for $150 when they can get the batcave. Ninjago and Nexo have better playsets out for less. As for AFOLs Blah save your money. The mini builds are very simplistic nothing on the level of the Kwike Mart. Investment, I will let @Val-E break that down. 

Man that castle is tall still have to find a place for it.

Arkham definitely looks bland.

Built Legos Japanese Cousin today

Nanoblocks Yamoto Battleship

Great set no neck issues. 

Finished up my own 10212 Imperial Shuttle this evening.  I went without pictures since there are a few other versions in previous pages.  Bought sealed, open box during ebay bucks promotion so saved a good bit of money there.  Pretty fun build, and all the technic keeps you on your feet because messing up somewhere would really suck.  No numbered bags either.  Had to do a lot of sorting prior to building to keep from tearing my eyes out.

I'll never get tired of seeing pics of people building this set.  That's my white whale.

10030 was mine before buying it right before this one.  I had to have that one even though a remake will me made at some point.

i had a used with box ISD 10030 in my hands 2 years ago for $500 and let it go.  granted, it would still be sitting in the box due to its size. 

unforgettably, i've come to terms my SW USC collection will never include the ISD, Maul's mug and a couple of others.

looks great.  i can't wait to build mine. 

regarding the stickers, i purchased repros so my stickersheet will stay unused.   pre-2006 sticker quality aren't as good as the current ones used.
