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...

7783 The Batcave - phenomenal set, phenomenal figs.

One of the best all-time minifigure driven Lego sets in my opinion.  Too bad it didn't forgo the fragile  Bat-blade for a boat or more real estate.  

Promotional set 1590 (ANWB Assistance Center).

I know, I'm a child

I would love to see some of these older sets "updated" - a modern take on it, with new, modern parts

Thanks to the help of some fellow BPers, this small project is now complete 

Just finished putting together Mines of Moria (9473).  Nice little set - makes me want to go and watch the films again.  More directed at kids given the play features but nice selection of minifigs and displays quite well. 
 

Back alive after 24 years. I build this when i was a child.

And a dark green tablecloth

So this probably doesn't fit exactly in this thread, but it's Lego-collector/builder related so here goes.  My wife relented and is allowing me to put together a Batman display in the dining room.  I have now a 7783 Batcave (as mentioned earlier in this post), and the Tumber on display.  I will be includingthe new 60s Batcave when it's released, and have an offer out on the 7784 Batmobile.  The question is this: I have room for one more display set, and I have a 6860 Batcave or a 7785 Arkham Asylum to include in the display.  I like the idea of the fully complete Batcave/Batmobile lineup, but Arkham Asylum has better Minifigures and is a better/rarer set.  Thoughts?

Edit - I also have an original 7781 Batman Two-Face Escape I could probably wedge in too, as well as a boatload of newer Batman/DC Minifigures.

This is not really a MOC, so I thought I would place in this forum....

For the past few years we have had a school bring their 3^rd grade classes to my workplace to do a tour. Each department gets a topic and explains that topic to the children. Our department explains about recycling efforts and energy use. So, I put together this layout to give a visual example as we explained things to the kids.

I purchased the instructions to a Brick City Depot building (https://www.brickcitydepot.com/CB026/smokestacks_coffee_house) and modified it a bit to include a standby generator on the main floor. The generator lights up using Lifelites (http://www.lifelites.com/). I used a Brick Builders Pro sticker (http://www.brickbuilderspro.com/) for the "City Power" billboard.

I also incorporated LED lights into the street lights and on top of the hydro dam. I have the LED lights on, but maybe difficult to see due to natural lighting /camera.

In the layout we have a hydro dam, wind turbine, stationary solar panels on awning and building, rotating solar panels, standby generation, transmission lines and a recycling center (with Hulk getting “angry”).

The only thing really missing is a generation plant (too big and expensive to build) and a nuclear facility – which, I’m waiting for a Simpson’s version! The entire grade seems to enjoy it, as do the teachers. This layout makes it sooo much easier to explain to third graders.

Me too which is one reason why I had started this topic a while back for anyone who has not seen it yet.

Added some front signage and a movie screen for good measure. Ready to build!

The best promo I've built in a while. It rolls. It shoots. It has a minifigure. Good times

For an upcoming blog about vintage Lego collecting and investing I built this from a box backside picture:

 

Anyone knows or wants to guess what (very commonly seen) set this is? Shoot
