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...

my tribute to last week's rebel episode

In anticipation of the new POTC movie along with my disappointment that we didn't get news of a new "intact" ship I picked these two beauties up off of Ebay.  Enjoyed the build and even more so the outcome.  What I don't understand after seeing both complete in person is why there seems to be much more draw for BP than QAR because IMO QAR is a much better looking ship.  To top it off I paid roughly $70 more for BP over QAR.  That being said the BP alone is a beautiful ship.

Ships are not my thing and not really seen either of them before but both of them look really really good

That's exactly how I felt until I got a QAR. Then I realized how much I love LEGO ships.

Is this cavegods version?

I am many years behind on the Lego building front, SW sets to catch up with first before I even dare look at anything else. That said the more I look at that photo the more I think hhhhmmm maybe I should [emoji23]

Is this cavegods version?

Yep, but with a few mods to make it a bit sturdier and some cosmetic changes such as the cockpit and the hatch.

It looks quite good!  I haven't looked to much into this set because frankly it didn't look that well on rebrickable.  I would need to compare your model to original.

Looks like you have the same Ikea shelving which I use.  Would be nice to see how it looks beside other UCS sets.

It looks awesome!

The 10175 UCS Vader TIE Advanced is coming along.  Just the wings left to build. 

This is my 2nd time building a 10175.   I still think this is one UCS set that 100% needs a refresh.  The cockpit and surrounding area needs a redesign.  The rest of the ship aged very nicely.

I hate this thing . Too flimsy and the stand can barely support it . I must have rebuilt to atleast 15 times 

Madoca Icarus wip.

The Nebulon-B Frigate looks amazing.  I have a few MOC's in the queue but I need to research the parts to see if I should build it.   The Tie Defender looks excellent next to its cousins.

Any other SW MOC's you have done?  Almost all my MOC's have been in the Technic world except for the AT-AT I did last week.

Pet peeve of mine.  Why bother making an amazing MOC, releasing it on rebrickable and making instructions, but no one can build it as designed!  It requires QTY.18 of DBG #2817.  Only 10 of these parts exist on all of Bricklink.

There were a number of parts which were rare or just didn't exist, hence some improvisation was required when I built mine. So substituting for similar colours and for two parts I even had to use spray paint.

Working on a few at the moment since not much out there from Lego themselves. Working on a UCS Ghost, Droid Control Ship and a Bespin Cloud City. I accidentally stumbled on MOCs and took the plunge with the Nebulon, which was a challenging one to start off with and now I'm hooked and using LDD now to do my own and at some point finish my Bespin Cloud City which is currently 6000 bricks.

My daughter and I spent the morning building the Pop Star Tour Bus and I am overjoyed with how happy she is with this set!  My wife and I were not sure about the size of it (it seemed small) until we saw it fits nicely in the lane on a road plate.  Thanks Brick Picker for showing me the light of not having to pay retail prices (got it for $35)!

I spent the afternoon building the UCS Slave I.  It seems much smaller and less detailed that I thought it would be.   Oh wait, that is the 2016 Star Wars Advent calendar version...

From todays B&N event. I had fun tweaking these.

Madoca Icarus

Built the new City Helo Polybag. . . 

Dinos

Another UCS set knocked off. Will probably be the last for a few months unfortunately, now that work has started to ramp up.

Are these from 2 sets or were you able to build both of these from 1 set

 

Must be 2 packs. I like them a lot.
