Just leaving legoland in England. They had all of the big Star Wars and creation sets (but not the vintage Tower bridge one that I want) but this was one I hadn't seen before.

Very impressive.





*never try to post gifs from the phone....ugh

The Ghost is so great as well as AT-TE. I wish I didn't go through the dark ages for so long! Just wrapped this guy up and sitting at work with Vader's meditation chamber, polybag imperial shuttle, and Death Star cannon.

It's a fun build. Enjoy!

Ah, I will be watching your career with great interest.

Alas, didn't buy it. Or anything else for myself.

I want this one.

This one looks pretty cool

That is cool! I really want ECTO-1 but my wife would kill me if I bought another kit before building the DeLorean, haha.

A little disappointed in mine right now. I noticed pieces of my Saturn V are starting to yellow pretty bad. It's on a shelf away from direct sun, and the yellowing is VERY piece specific. I have adjacent pieces that are completely different shades (like fresh out of the box bright white vs champagne), and the yellowing is specific to the curved tiles that wrap astound the body. All of the other white pieces seem to be holding up really well, but those specific pieces, with the exception of 3-4, are really bad. Seems like maybe they have batch issues with their plastic or something since. Doesn't seem like a light exposure issue because the smooth, vertical pieces between the curved sections are pristine, while the curved sections on either side look like crap. I know they can be fixed with H2O2 and sunlight, but I feel like the quality should be a lot better. And really don't want to have to disassemble it.

Hmm i need to check mine. Haven't noticed this.

If left near harsh lighting or windows, white Legos can yellow over time. Apparently you can submerge them in hydrogen peroxide and leave them in the sun to restore their color.

Here's what I'm seeing (though on closer inspection it's every piece type):

My ecto 1 is starting to show some as well. Very indirect lighting.

It's a great set, but with recent price hike, I'd hold off until you found a deal. I wish I grabbed the Delorean before it went up to $200.

I just wrapped up the jurrssic park to Rex breakout and have the galaxy explorer waiting in its box. Currently halfway finished with star wars trench run.

The new Camaro expert set is calling my name.

Standing in the kitchen at 615 this morning drinking my coffee and I hear our window shutters in the front room open. I find my son standing in the dark with a flashlight looking out the window.

Apparently my mother in law bought my kids new Legos yesterday and told them they were being delivered overnight.

He's a bit obsessed. He's currently try to save up $200 to split the cost of the new loop coaster with me. I need to go to the store and grab one before they disappear as I'm assuming it's going to take him a while.

I also started yesterday on the month log slog of preparing my department's budget (for th first time as a colleague of mine took an unexpected early "retirement"). I decided London Bridge and a nice bottle of whisky will be my reward come early September.

My 5 yo is saving up for Elsa's ice castle. She's glacially earning money towards it doing odd jobs around the house and "helping."

I need a shelf to display my Mos Eisley and Lion Knight's Castle, does anyone have any recommendations?

Lack of space is the only thing keeping them in the box.

Tower bridge is arriving On Friday. By far the biggest set I've ever built. What's the best strategy for attacking a large used set like this? Sort into colors before starting? Verify I've got all of the pieces (bought it used).

Oof. That big a set used? I'd probably sort into colors and set aside the bigger or unusually shaped pieces and just mark missing pieces as you come across them in the build. Sub in similar pieces (maybe a different color) temporarily so you can continue on?

Dear Lord, please give me strength:



Lego unveils a 6,187-piece Mandalorian 'Razor Crest' set

Saw this the other day and I'm dying

Such a cool set, but easy for me to not drop six hundo on a plastic toy. My limit is $200, half joking.

I'd be happy with the play scale model.

Progress. Had to put it away for a few days for my terror of a nephew and the cleaning lady. Finally had a missing piece from the Big Box o' Legos. A single medium blue 1x1 plate. If that's the damage I'll be happy.
