I got the Saturn V rocket a couple of years back. There is a companion Soyuz rocket that similarly started as a Lego Ideas project, and it has cleared all the required hurdles for support. Lego is currently considering it for a product, but I doubt it will go through in the current international political climate.

Best part about the Saturn V build - not one damn sticker.

I love them and would probably have more, but I don't really have a place to display them. Currently have the Saturn V, Lunar lander, and space shuttle discovery.

There was a Porsche GT 3 a few years ago that i kind of regret not getting. That set was awesome.

Greatest toy of all time. I've been wanting to build a big Lego diorama for a while now. I have the Star Wars Cantina set. I've been thinking of doing an under the sea one inside of an aquarium.

I have a few Star Wars sets I liked (Millennium Falcon my wife gave me for Christmas, emperor's throne room duel and Slave I) and then I love Tolkien so I bought the Lonely Mountain set with Smaug, and then I have a Chinese fake Lego knockoff of the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean. The Black Pearl was out of print and expensive but the fake one was like $35 haha. But yes Legos seem to be todays model kits even for us older kids lol.

Thanks for starting this thread!

I have almost all of the Speed Champions sets scattered around my office. I'll post of pictures Monday. I buy all the new ones retail but have been slowly gaining the retired sets via eBay.

Definitely the best toy of all time. Growing up, I had a huge box full of my dad's legos from the '70s. They always connected flawlessly to every new lego I got. I remember he used to take me to toys R us and would let me pick out one of the tiny boxes (we didn't have enough money to buy the large sets).

Then ebay came around, and my dad bought me at least 2-3 really awesome sets off there, for great prices. One day, my kids will definitely inherit my dad's and my legos.

Just a perfect toy for developing both sides of your brain, as a kid.

I have a Batman cowl and Batman mini keychain

Man, I want to know what you do to be able to afford a sneaker hobby and a Lego hobby

Took Vader's meditation chamber out via AT-AT! The Christmas ones are fun. If anyone is into what other folks build, Reddit has some great content. I'd never have the time, patience, or monetary funds to do what some of the hobby enthusiasts do, but there is some awesome stuff out there.

Haha, yep! I need to fix that. A lot of these sat crammed in a storage closet for years. Things broke and I have a lot of random pieces that I need to figure out how to fit.

Don't have kids!

Here's the Speed Champions collection so far. Still missing a couple from the early years (they used to make some huge sets in the series but now mainly just include the cars, which I prefer).

That's a sick setup. Very nice.

Thanks!

If any of you ever get a lead on some older SC sets that someone is off-loading, LMK. I scout ebay and a couple other resale sites monthly to look for some of the older ones, but unfortunately they were high priced at retail and most people know what they have at this point.

Have all the NASA ones.

Any of y'all do Star Wars promotion days for May the fourth?

Love those big technic car sets.

Now just you hang on just a sec. Tell me more about your Saturn V model. It's not an Apollo set-up - more similar to the Skylab launch configuration, but there was no escape tower on Skylab.

I ask because I had seriously considered buying another Saturn V and following a LEGO community plan to make a Skylab version, but I struggled to buy all the right pieces in the right colors.

Its a great set but the same as others have posted here. I just have mine sitting vertically instead of broken into the pieces laying on those stands.

This one.

I like everything about your setup except the cable management.

This came up in my feed yesterday. The Ferrari sounds interesting, as does the Eiffel Tower.

This seems like something I would enjoy although I'm not sure I'm smart enough. I never progressed much past Lincoln Logs as a kid.

Also, I infer from this thread that they do annual(?) releases and once they sell all the kits that's it?

There are some things that get discontinued but they don't usually come out and say "only 1500 being made" for most things. I think for most of their stuff they plan to make it continuously but will drop them in favor of something new or more successful.

I'll add that some of their series definitely keep to a year-long or more limited release pattern. Speed Champions, some of the expert sets are only available for a short time and then get replaced by new releases.

Gottcha. I think there's no Service Module section
