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...

Finally got around to using some of my bricklinked dark grey slopes.  Built a new modification for my 9474 MOC today, bridging the tower and keep modules together.

 

Next up, the right side mountains....

 10181 Eiffel Tower - the final model is incredible

 

It is the only set I regret selling

I just finished the Simpsons House

Ninja 6093

Egypt 5958 + 5988

Ghetto minifig stand

I swear you've picked up just about all the used sets I'm cleaning and preparing to flip from my own original collection there Brickson. Nice picks!

Seeing as you're so close why don't you PM the list of the rest

The build was amazeballs too.

Have spent the last 18 months slowly ordering parts when I had extra money in the pp. Finally finished it today, no substitutions. Never built a modular before, it's really much nicer than I expected. Was thinking I would sell it but maybe not...

^ green grocer is awesome!!!

I had ordered this last week and put together today, overall think I got a good deal on everything and for some reason I like this more than the newer version (which I have also built)...

Yeah. I built mine the opposite way (top to bottom). Isn't it amazing how the lower 4 pillars meet together to support the upper 2 levels using a right corner building technique (in some cases using only 1 or 2 studs of a 2x3 brick?

Built 70402 and 70403, thrown in as extras to a CL deal. Missing 1 minifig, the dragon maxifig, and the stickers were never applied (and not included). 

There was an extra minifig that didn't belong to the sets, unsure where he's from. I'll post a pic of him here and in the 'what's that brick' thread, any pointers would be great, I'm not familiar with the theme.

You should be able to do a simple search on Bricklink for the soldier using the shield.

Cheers, yep. Looks like he came from the 2010 Kingdoms Battle Pack. 

I finished 75021 and loaded it up with clones. Too bad it does not fit into my Detolf case.

I finished a used 7964 Republic Frigate I'd landed on eBay a while back. It was a really nice build, lots of different techniques, and the finished model is bigger than I expected and looks nice on display. I know CW sets are often derided, but this one is pretty cool with lots of surprises and nice play features. It will stay on the shelf for a month or so with Commander Wolfe riding in the rumble seat (aka the escape pod), and then I'll pack it up to list for sale again. 

I built the Avengers Tower that my wife got me for father's day. It's kind of crush prone. It wasn't a super interesting build, but I like how it looks. I'm thinking of adding another Avengers tower to it, and make a super tower

Dug out battle of endor 8038 yesterday and built that again. forgotten how much I love this set, loads going on.

It could be another rainy day tomorrow.

Used UCS Tumbler arrived in jumbled bags, sorted and ready to go.

 

Parisian Restaurant ... very detailed and extraordinary build / display! May have edged into my #1 modular spot...jury still out.

Just got Palace Cinema and am itching to build it.  Will be interested to see how it compares to the other modulars.  PR is definitely my favorite to date.  An elegant design.

Also, picking up a Giant Chess set Monday.  I can't WAIT to build this one!

Agreed. I have built each of the modulars since GE. PR wins. The details of the interior along with the roof. Slick. PC is a nice display piece, however. Gets a lot of attention from guests.

Crazy. I built mine yesterday as well. I really liked the restaurant's kitchen outfit, some sweet realistic details packed into such a small space. And like rodeogeorge says, the roof was slick as well. It sort of bugs me that the only way into the suites is through the restaurant's patio; there's more room out back, they could've added a second staircase. Very nice build though, quite enjoyed it.

And finally DO. That's all of them from FB on...now to find the first 3 on discount
