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...

I built the Winter Market Village today.  Before I built it I was like meh...  About midway through the build I bought one on Amazon to begin stocking up.  The carousel is much bigger than a I thought and people are going to want this.  

Last Night I built my used Queen Anne's Revenge. What a marvelous ship! I enjoyed every minute building it. Now I proudly display it in our livingroom. Even my wife was thrilled.

Maybe tonight I will build the Black Pearl.

 

Have you ever built the Imperial flagship?

We completed the Haunted House 10228.  A little late for Halloween but better late than never.  Added a little flair using costume minifigs as trick-or-treaters.

Saturday night my wife amd I planned to go to the movie theatre to see "Interstellar". However, the babysitter was sick so we decided to stay home. Maybe we will go next week.

 

So I build the "Black Pearl" instead. Again, a marvelous build. It is smaller than "Queen Anne" and less challenging. I like Queen Anne's Revenge better I have to say. There was only one piece missing. The leaves the female symbol in front of the ship is holding. Maybe I can find it on ebay or bricklink. 'The Queen Anne misses 3 more common pieces.

 

Next on the list will be the "Red Baron".

Finished up some sets that I had been meaning to build.  Built new Jabba's Sail Barge about a week ago and Mos Eisley Cantina this morning as I'm sitting home sick.  I liked both builds, though they are both small.  Figures in the sets are amazing, though.  Love Greedo, never had the original.

 

Have fun!  It's a monster!

Yeah, i actually somewhere half-way there I think, should have posted more current photo. I am amazed how did they ever came up with the design for it. Seemingly unrelated pieces just fall in place and you eventually see the grand design

Couldn't have said it better.  This is exactly why I love the advanced Lego sets -  especially the modulars and Technics.  The cleverness of the engineering is inspiring. 

 

I know a lot of people dog the mixer, but the design is nothing short of genius. 

Built the Town Hall last night - it's a monster! I love some of the details on the facade, and the dark orange colors.

Now, that's more like it:

 

Broke open the seals on a Winter Village Post Office for one of my daughters to build.

What did you charge her?

Finished R2D2 tonight, started it on Thursday evening and did a few bags a night

 

 

The Tumbler will be started next, probably tomorrow night

I built shelob attacks and gandalf t dol guldur last night from my bulk lot.

What did you charge her?

 

Nada. Same as I charged the other daughter who broke open a Winter Village Bakery this morning. I pulled out of storage one each of the holidays sets and let them each pick one to build. Now I need to put together the Holiday Train (already opened) and we'll have a nice little display.

So sexy!

7181 Tie Interceptor

10182 Cafe Corner (built again because it's awesome)

Friends of mine helped rebuild the Winter village sets - bakery, toy shop, post office, and one half of the cottage with the market and Santa workshop to be built this week.

Ex Astris, Scientia.

We built Santa's Workshop - 10245, and 5 of the holiday ornaments.

All 3 Bag #1's of the Tumbler built, moving onto Manual 2 this evening

This One it redefines Awesome .

 

Battle for Ninjago City. The Dragons Head micro build is pretty cool. This set is packed with hours of play time. There are lots of neat weapons, secret hiding places, trap floors and more. If you can get it on sale makes a great gift for a boy. Time to sell the minifigs.

Still building the Tumbler and taking my time

 

This is after the Bags 1 and 2

 

Tumbler progress, after bags 3 and 4

 

 

Really enjoying this build so far, hence why I am taking my time

Looks like I am the only one building at the moment - lol

 

Tumbler progress now that the wheels have been added
