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...

Due to all the Star Wars hype lately I decided to dig this one out the vault, really love this set!

If you like this one, you will love the previous version would is slightly larger and more screen accurate 

7672 Rogue Shadow is done. Ready to be sold.

Finished this over the weekend. Really enjoyed building it, and I'm glad I didn't rush through. Displays so much better in person. I've bricklinked a few extra parts to build some extra star destroyers to go along side and make a fleet.

Next UCS IST.

 

 

To make sure it was complete I built the 6206 Tie Interceptor I bought used.

It still looks sharp despite being 10 years old but would definitely benefit from an update with newer build techniques.

 

After selling a handful of these I thought it would only be right to save one for myself and see what all the fuss is about! A nice little set, going rate of £20 seems steep but that's rare parts for you!! Either way, it does look lovely next to my UCS R2 D2.

Plus if it were a lot less blue?

Catamaran LEGO Creator 31057 

 

Still working through my second used lot.  Here are the ones I completed last night from the pile:

5982 Space Police III - Smash 'n' Grab

8669 Power Racers - Fire Spinner 360

7292 Creator - Propeller Adventures (prop plane)

Ghostbusters Firehouse:

Been working on this a couple hours a night. Scored it a few nights back off Craigslist, for $250. The box was destroyed, but the seller let me check all bags!

Been building 1 bag number set each night, on bags #5 tonite. I am quite surprised at the level of detail inside. The quality of the build is superb,(i have never built a modular building). That window AC unit build not having ANY detail or sticker/print is driving me nuts. But I should be able to come up with something off an extra sticker sheet I have laying around. Onward to the second floor!

Got this for xmas, finally got it done over the weekend. I'm downsizing my town to make room for a carnival, I think this will make the cut. Love the laundromat. 

 

I love the guy on the box "laundering" money

Built old Bessie. Only the Ewok village and New Death Star left in my backlog of UCS inventory. Need to get my hands on a Death Star 2!

This Sandcrawler is prob my all-time fav lego set to-date. 75059 has a challenging design which leads to a fun build.  It displays great (just omit the container door stickers) and has enough play features for the kiddies.  No idea why a UCS plaque wasn't included.  It deserved one since it's has tremendous display value and the complex build.

My CL score from last week. Built about a half dozen of these the past few years, never gets old. 

 

Picked up a used T1, mini, Ferrari and Beetle cheap for building as I don't like to open new sets... It's great, I like it much more than I thought I would, displays so well. T1 next

Still going through my first two used lots of LEGO.  Last night I built:

8045 Technic: Mini-Telehandler

79107 The Lone Ranger: Commanche Camp

Your office def looks to be "Lego Reseller CEO" worthy

Nice picture.

Tonight I sliced open 75052 Mos Eisley Cantina. Pretty cool set and surprised by its dismal investment performance thus far...

What's not to love? Iconic scene setting, 8 minifigs, landspeeder, dewback, and vaporator. I think it's a great set and will go nicely with other Tatooine related sets.
