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...

In celebration of the return of The Clone Wars, decided to build 8037 Anakin’s Y-Wing from 2009. Great set and a solid build, my only gripe is that the turret does spin...

Yeah that one actually is my childhood set, ironically enough, the pieces are still in great shape.... but I was one of those odd kids who didn't play rough with their toys or let anyone else touch them lol

We were fortunate enough to pick up many of the SDCC LEGO exclusives this year, and my boys put together a short video reviewing the Exclusive Ant Man set.  I was fortunate enough to get approval to post the video here, so here it is.  Apologies in advance for poor editing, etc.   

 

 

Built the CR-90 Corvette Transporter to add to my Rebel fleet. Just under 3,000 pieces and a credit to the designer Mortesev.

 

3 bags in .. this thing is gonna be huge 

8 bags done only 28 more to go .. rock formations and kids “helping” slowed me down but it has been a fun so far . Wife is really impressed with this one .

Goodness. How big is the sticker book on this one? Still looks cool. Might have convinced me to buy sooner. We'll all have to buy a new table or very large shelf to display it on.

End of book 3. What idiot thought it was remotely ok to put the room of requiremnts in the dungeon ?!?

4 sheets , about 70 stickers . I’ll post my thoughts on it once I’m done building 

 

All set, the end result was freaking awesome. Hands down the best and most enjoyable set that I have ever built.  The final piece is pretty sturdy and more importantly breathtaking . A must for any adult builder who is into the HP franchise .  

My 2 cents on some missed opportunities/cons from a die hard HP nerd POV . 

• Stickers : about 70 - 75 of them. They do help keep the piece count down ( otherwise building some scenes would add a lot of elements ) and they do hit the mark portraying their respective scenes , however printed bricks would have been a better idea and added more elegance to the set
• Is this a Hogwarts Set or a HP Hogwarts set ? Meaning it stays loyal to HP's POV of the castle . Would have rather had the other 3 common rooms added along with the kitchen ( threw in an elf of two )  rather than have many scenes from the first movie.
• Speaking of first movie , should have added Fluffy and done away the dragon since again it is heavy one the first movie scenes. 
• Room of requirements : in the dungeon? gmab
• Should have had Hagrid, no excuse for that one not to be included. 
• Bonus micro figs : Slughorn, Lockhart, and Mad Eye.

Rise, Lord Vader....

Rebuilding a highlight from my childhood....Model Team 5500. Great set!

Built the Destiny's Bounty I got around Christmas time with mostly Shop Your Way points from Kmart. I told my wife it would be my birthday gift but she forgot, so I got it out the other day and started in on it. It's really a nice build. My 20 month old daughter loves having Moana drink tea and go to bed in the little bed below deck. I should really make it a point to watch the movie, I watched five seasons of the TV show already.
