December 5, 201411 yr Looks like I am the only one building at the moment - lolTumbler progress now that the wheels have been addedI am still building my 10179 MF - it's just so enormous that daily, or even weekly progress is hard to see (since I only spend about 1 hour every other day - that's probably why...)Page 162 of the manual - I guess I am half -way through?
December 7, 201411 yr I am still building my 10179 MF - it's just so enormous that daily, or even weekly progress is hard to see (since I only spend about 1 hour every other day - that's probably why...) More than likely - lol I have just finished bag 7 of the Tumbler, still got 8,9,10 and 11 to go If I stick to the one bag a night I will be done on Thursday evening. Really enjoying this build hence why I am taking my time to complete it
December 8, 201411 yr Tumbler complete. The first 90% is rock-solid and a true beast... the last 10% are all attractive details that fall off if you look at them. A warning to those with kids: display this one high. It is a true beauty, but doesn't take much to get "rattled". The kids and the Misses are having a blast with the Lego store's "pick a brick" addition of the brown horse. We have about forty of them... great fun for the kids to pop the mini-figs on. Holding a ToO for myself and a HH for my Wife as a Christmas gift for each of us.

Nice one, Just added bag 8 to my build, not sure on the 2 angled pieces towards the back wheels, they don't look like they are positioned correctly to me
December 9, 201411 yr Finally have pretty much finished an 8097 Slave-1 that I picked up in a used lot a few months ago. I *swear* I inventoried this thing. But I've had to stop-restart so many times, I must have been out of my mind when I inventoried it. I'm still missing a couple of pieces before I can call it complete. At least I've got it assembled, and know what's missing, so I can do one last BL of the missing parts.
December 9, 201411 yr Started Ghostbusters Ecto1 yesterday with my gf. I haven't build any Lego in a long while (I'm jsut ocming back to this hobbie) so it's been a slow build.

I actually just built mine as well and I gotta say it feels pretty weak and flimsy lol so I sold it almost right I built it since the ucs one is coming out
December 9, 201411 yr Built the final 3 bags of the Tumbler, really enjoyable build Now to find a good spot to display it
December 20, 201410 yr So I just finished my SSD. Picked it up as used just before they disappeared in the UK. It's quite ridiculously large. I have no clue where I

December 20, 201410 yr Built three of the four Bricktober sets over the last couple of days. I haven't built anything in awhile, and I haven't had a lot of time. These fit the bill for now.
December 20, 201410 yr I really should pick up a used one, just to build. I don't need to keep it. Just want to build it. You should get one! I absolutely love mine and it looks insanely awesome on display

December 20, 201410 yr You should get one! I absolutely love mine and it looks insanely awesome on display I don't have any place to display it. I'm just fascinated with building it.
December 20, 201410 yr Just finished the Seacow and now onto HH. Got them used on CL from an adult collector for a total of $280! What a steal! I can hardly justify spending this kind of money on sets for myself. They will both be resold for a profit but It's nice to be able to pick up a used set for a low enough price to build and then resell without losing any money.

December 20, 201410 yr Yesterday I built a 7939 Cargo Train that was in a bulk lot I bought over the summer. Fun build, and it works perfectly.
December 20, 201410 yr My "work" table almost always looks similar to this. I'm building 5 sets right now, not to mention another 7 or 8 waiting on parts from bricklink.
December 20, 201410 yr My "work" table almost always looks similar to this. I'm building 5 sets right now, not to mention another 7 or 8 waiting on parts from bricklink.image.jpg I could never build that many sets at the same time. I always have to do one set at a time. But that does look similar to my workspace where I work on bulk lots.
December 20, 201410 yr I don't have any place to display it. I'm just fascinated with building it. Oh I know I was just saying because it's so epic to look at, it's one of those things that you'd have to consider keeping since lego doesn't make sets that are this size everyday. I would say it could be the main centerpiece for any lego Star Wars fan like the ucs millennium falcon is. It's my centerpiece anyways haha but yeah it's really long it takes up an entire shelf by itself.
December 20, 201410 yr And I do agree about the build being dull at times and it can be irritating as well since in the early stages it's very flimsy, But in the end it's definitely worth it since it stands out so much. Edited December 20, 201410 yr by California92563
December 21, 201410 yr Man, I just built the Rocking Horse Polybag http://brickset.com/sets/40035-1/Rocking-Horse And let me say... It doesn't rock. Seems a major design flaw
December 21, 201410 yr Built the Bricktober Town Hall last night. Last of the four. Now they will go on my desk at work.
