Legos….

I think they brought most of the submersible up.. in pieces.

 

Funny Stuff!

I saw that. How would it be to spend thousands in Lego just because?

I *could* spend thousands in Lego, but I need that money for child support after my wife leaves me for spending thousands on Lego.

 

Speaking of spending too much on Lego.

Bags 1 and 2 of Titanic.




You can see the forecastle being roughed in and the step down to the well deck behind it.

 

I HAVE spent thousands on lego……I keep trying to tell my wife it’s cheaper then heroine, but she says “not by much.”








And more in bins and waiting for space….

 

I know we have spent thousands, but not all at once

Over 100 sets in a bin that the kids choose from, build and then put back.

 

An update of Titanic proportions.

 

Coming along nicely

 

One more.... Bag 7 of 46

 

^^^^ Very Cool!

 

Mrs. PolishedTRD generally frowns upon me bringing car/truck/dirt bike parts into the house to work on them, but I believe I've found the exception! Lulz.
Finally getting the Bugatti built after years of it sitting on my display shelf.

 

That is awesome. One of the bucket list sets that I have wanted. I have this out for delivery today:

Heck yeah! Probably my favorite of the exotic cars - the genius that went into raising/lowering the spoiler, the luggage in the frunk, plus the short videos explaining the collaboration between Lego and Lambo.

EDIT: I feel dumb - I saw "Lamborghini" in the link but didn't click it until after posting. Same color, different Lambo's, haha! I need a "foot-in-mouth" emoji!

 

If you haven't gotten it yet, do yourself a favor and get the Ford GT. It's a fun build and looks great

 

I'm digging those shelves too. Do you have any info on those?

 

I gotchu:

Nathan James Theo 6-Shelf Tall Bookcase, Wall Mount Bookshelf with Natural Wood Finish and Industrial Metal Frame, Nutmeg/Matte Black

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084HDCLNT?ie=UTF8&th=1

There are definitely cheaper shelves available but at the cost of size (smaller). I found these to have the best depth and width for my Lego displaying needs.

 

yeah I wish it was THAT Lambo…..and really hope they get away from making the same old colors. This is the same color as the mustang and the Porsche is the same color as the raptor. Just hope they come out with more variety. I guess it is so they have “stock” colors to make it easier building the sets across the board but I just don’t want the same color cars / trucks all the time

 

8...9...10...and part of 12 because it has the parts that lock the two forward sections of the ship together. Why those few pieces arent included in 10 are beyond me...

 

Finished the mini lambo huracan build. It was fun - I need to get one of the huge sets and take days / weeks to finish. I get immersed in these 800-1000 pieces and finish them in hours.

 

Curious, this has to be Lepin or some other building block brand, right? How was the quality and fit?

 

I think this was it…..I thought it was nifeliz brand but maybe not?

Fit and finish of the knockoff brands that I have ordered are actually surprisingly good. I have noticed a couple of the longer pieces feeling a bit flimsy but that’s it. I had one of the sets missing 4 pieces but that’s been a one off so far.

 

This thing took me about 10 hours spread across 3 days, I wish it was easier to see the engine given how much work the “insides” were.

 

It takes restraint to not fly through even the big sets.

 

Ran all our sets through the Lego app. Took some time, but it was fun to see the older sets we haven't built in years. Here were the results, 50,000+ pieces!

 

I tried doing that last night with a few sets, but it would only bring me to the build pages, not the register your sets page.

 

I’ve always used rebrickable.com for cataloging all my stuff

 

Hung the space shuttle today.


I'm blown away to think that the space shuttle and Titanic were only about 70 years apart.

 

It’s absolutely crazy. Look at the difference between the wright brothers and jets, 40ish years. Orville died in 1948 so he would have seen planes as weapons of war, as commercial transport, and even jet aircraft. Remarkable.

Also I just want to say I love your taste in legos.

 

What does everyone use to clean them? Just get one of those small dust busters with a brush tip?
