July 9, 201510 yr I am torn between building pet shop or detective office. Discounting the near EOL factor, which should I build?The Pet Shop is boring, so go with the Detective's Office I always dismantle first. It's the only way that works for me. There are times when leaving parts built is a lot more convenient. I kept some of the repetitive builds on the top of my used SSD instead of breaking up hundreds of 1x1 tiles and plates, building each once was enough.
July 9, 201510 yr I second that, the Pet Shop is boring! Detective Office all the way!I just put together Set #60083 snow plow and it's a cool little build.
July 11, 201510 yr Daughter built the grand hotel from the what did you buy thread earlier. No QFLL'ing that one (unfortunately). Took her about 4 hours Edited July 11, 201510 yr by ravenb99 dumb mispell
July 11, 201510 yr Pet Shop is the better Build in my opinion though thats probably because it reminded me of less fun build of my favourite set Green Grocer (it has quite a few similar technique though green grocer was better at execution petshop was about giving as much as possible for $150). thought Im going to say if I were to rank the current market modulars.1. Parisian Restaurant (cuz its smexy, unique and rlly fun to build) 2. Pet Shop (2 Completely separate buildings great exterior petshop building is complete but the apartment is defiantly lacking interior wise except for floor 1 That bath was genius) 3. Detective Office (I liked this set but it was simple also wish they where separate buildings as well still love the water tower though great technique and the roof design on the hair dresser building)4. Palace Cinema (Interior is really lacking, exterior is alright though It takes to much from the Chinese theatre in LA wish it was more unique. the build was alright as well)
July 11, 201510 yr I built the UCS Tie Interceptor 7181 last night and I have to say it turned out better than I expected. I'm still not a huge fan of the blue pieces but it's a pretty cool set overall.
July 12, 201510 yr Just ordered this from eBay and decided to put it together this weekend - was worth every penny! REALLY looking forward to CMF 14 to add to this - was actually one of the reasons I decided to finally purchase the set. Also, the sand green bricks are awesome, I think it's a great color.

July 13, 201510 yr some good builds this weekend. we build jabba's sailing barge and the red piggy bank. Did clean the Eiffel tower hoping to build that this week. edit: and sadly a little jeolous of Kunfuzd's sharpy cup Edited July 13, 201510 yr by brickcrazyhouse
July 13, 201510 yr Added the Black Pearl to the fleet todayI absolutely love the Black Pearl and am currently trying to find one used myself. I did not get this set when it came out because I was deploying a lot at the time.
July 13, 201510 yr BP and QAR. Imperial Flagship is up next. Daughter built the grand hotel from the what did you buy thread earlier. No QFLL'ing that one (unfortunately). Took her about 4 hoursDo you think it would make a good modular? I was considering picking up a few on sale and trying it out. I love the look but am not sure it would fit in with the other modulars.
July 13, 201510 yr BP and QAR. Imperial Flagship is up next.Do you think it would make a good modular? I was considering picking up a few on sale and trying it out. I love the look but am not sure it would fit in with the other modulars.its a facade the way it is so would definitely have to have 2. It does have the removable floors like a modular so height wise I think it could pass, especially with the newer ones seeming smaller in size.My friend who has built all the modulars looked at it after building it and said if you had 2 it could possibly work as modular type building Edited July 13, 201510 yr by ravenb99 wasn't done
July 13, 201510 yr My wife, who you may recall stole my Scooby Doo Mystery Machine out of my hands the other day and proclaimed it "mine!" (her's), built it today.My only revenge was that there were 23 (!) stickers to apply. She was not happy about it. But, it's a cool little build.
July 13, 201510 yr My son built the Avengers Tower today and I helped along the way. It's a solid little set that has quite a bit going for it. Lots of play features and a good centerpiece to the new Avengers sets. We also built the new Quinjet a couple weeks ago, but I think he'll play with this a bit more. I have a loose and one boxed Hydra Fortress Smash that I'll combine for a big fortress. I'm also going to open a Loki's Escape, since we don't have a Loki to fight yet.Next up after I build my Detolf Cabinets, UCS AT-ST. Edited July 13, 201510 yr by exciter1
July 14, 201510 yr Popular Post Another build, it was great! Edited July 14, 201510 yr by hendrikdejager
July 15, 201510 yr 75094 Imperial Shuttle. Great building techniques and display model even for a smaller set. Highly recommended.
July 17, 201510 yr Imperial Flagship. Huge ship, great build techniques. I thought this was going to be the center piece of the armada, but much to my surprise next to the QAR and BP it shrinks quite a bit and QAR steals the show.
