Just starting the Grand Emporium...I wish my sons were home to help me sort...

Just finished building the Spider-Copter Rescue w/ Green Goblin, a real nice set.  My son has been asking for it for several months. 

 

I have to say, this Imaginext Battle Rover and Bat-Bot are super cool.

 

Off to build the Chima: Mammoth Stomper next.

Christmas morning recap:

 

Built the Arctic Snowmobile I got for myself, and built the first part of the City Snow Plow.

 

Helped my son build his Duplo Jake's Treasure Hunt and Duplo Batman Joker's Challenge.

 

We've still got an Elsa's Castle and a Duplo Batman Batcave Adventure to build today.

Not lego but the wife threw down a serious thomas build this morning!

so far the new creator beach hut and UN building

 

FW might be next...  feeling motivated today seeing I have nothing to do.  I like it

FW is an interesting build. I found the build to be.... Different. Still not sure I like how it builds.

I wound up doing it and just finished , took about 2 hours.  Think I am all tanned out from that build.  I liked how it all slid together at the end.  That was different.  

 

Agreed about not being sure what I thought of the overall build.  I do like the way it comes together at the end though.  I guess that's the neat feature with Architecture is they all seem to be a little different process.

 

Now I'm gonna have to track down a Robie house.  I passed on them from Von Maur when they were 25% off which was not a very smart choice.  

So I picked up a mixed lot on Sunday and with the couple of days off work, I

After all the family time and the crazy drive (got to see a truck fire that turned a 5.5 hour drive into an 8 hour drive) I put together this little set. It's worth the price just for the letters and numbers.

Oh that looks pretty neat. Might get one for myself now lol

Built the Black Seas Barracuda for the first time. The wife suprised me this Christmas. What a great build. I have waited 25 years to get this thing. I remember it on the tru lego wall. I never got it. Awesome set and I don't think any ships since come close.

That's awesome.  I'd say both your wife the BSB are keepers.

Building sea cow.. Half way there.. In the background santas workshop..

I built Fallingwater tonight and it took about 2hours. I can't really figure out what I built or if I liked building it and I don't know if I like the way it displays or not, perhaps I will know when I wake up. It is definitely a unique build.

I also built Santa's Workshop and half of the Winter Village Market. I DO know that I like the workshop, it is excellent.

Tomorrow is Red 5 or a bunch of trains. Santa knows what I like or at least what to leave on my porch from Target, Amazon, and eBay.

Ex Astris, Scientia.

Parisian Restaurant and Eiffel Tower for me - both awesome. PR is a classic - wouldn't be surprised to see this stick around awhile given how incredible the build is.

Built Minecraft Ender Dragon and The Mine - also simply phenomenal sets. The Mine was way better than Ender Dragon, but diamond armor didn't disappoint.

The boy has one more - the twin rotor helicopter Technic set...his first foray into Technic. Can't wait.

Built the Star Wars: V-19 Torrent Starfighter (7674) tonight.  I really incredible build and very impressive ship once complete.  The way they nailed the wing transfer is amazing.  Lots of Technic in this one.

 

I have something to share hopefully in the next few days I plan on building during break.  I've purchased the parts over the past few weeks and I finally think I'm ready.

I'm still back and forth about getting this because I have a lot of the clone wars sets and would consider myself quite the completionist and I really do love the different ships but when it's in landing mode it looks ugly as sin haha

Built Elsa's castle, the Juniors Princess Castle, Ariel's Amazing Treasures, and Big Zoo today....need to do a big boy build soon.

We have the Hasbro version as well and I like it too.

Very nice! it's sad to think the clone wars era is dying and that this new wave could be the last in a very long time to include clone wars era sets

Built the Parisian Restaurant over a couple of days.  Very enjoyable build.  Lots of fantastic details!  The only thing that would make it better is if it came with a light brick.

Installed the Ipad App and built several "resorts" with my daughter using the Lego Friends Fusion resort builder she got for Christmas. Awesome concept, my daughter wanted to play the game and build for hours.

Thank you. I had to step away for a while, primarily because college classes have gotten so intense I just haven't had the free time. But I'm off for two weeks vacation and I graduate with my bachelor's in April, so hopefully I can be on here more frequently.
