Let’s talk Lego!

[Tys1]

Inspired by @highqualityrecords and their profile post.

Just a friendly place to talk about what sets you’re working on. Any DIY builds. Any dream sets. Lego Movies. Lego Games. Lego TV shows. Anything Lego!

Just got these in the mail today

Also, not trying to feed into FOMO. But we have a Lego store near us and the super cool employee there was adamant about ordering your holiday sets in the next couple weeks. He seemed certain that Lego will be running into both supply and shipping issues this holiday season beyond those that they’re used to dealing with.

True story, the language of LEGO has 22 different words for “ow my goddamn foot.”

What a great idea @Tys1 ! I will start with my two set I just cleaned!

I’ve also gifted a few architectural sets to my sister which have since gone out of production and skyrocketed in value


Probably going to put a couple of the Star Wars sets on my Christmas list this year too

This is currently stalking me across the net, whether it be sponsored posts on Instagram or ads on YouTube.

I'm kind of Geeking out over it actually.

We have those sets too. Well, my older son does. I remember that Saturn V set being quite difficult.

I've heard really good things about that AT-AT! I was big on Lego Star Wars as a kid, but thats one I never had as a kid. Really wish I got the 2007 motorized one when it was available, but oh well. Only thing keeping me from making this my next lego purchase is the fact that a UCS AT-AT has been confirmed for next year.

So I was an avid Lego Star Wars collector from the time I started getting Lego as gifts at age 4 (Same year they started making Lego Star Wars sets I believe) all till high school where I found a buyer for my collection on craigslist, and sold it for what I thought at the time was good money. Of course all those sets have hyper-inflated in the past decade. Look at how much JUST THE BOBA FETT CLOUD CITY minifig is worth. And keep in mind that set had an exclusive Luke and Leia as well.

Holy cow! That’s amazing. I remember when that set was announced, man I was disappointed in the actual set, so I didn’t buy it.

Not sure if you're talking about what I'm referring to, or the 2018 remake.

This is the original with the uber expensive minifigs I regret selling


And this is the remake



Both cool sets for their time! (Though the 2018 one was overpriced IMO)

The AT-AT is actually my kiddo’s, he’s 7 and he saved his allowance for almost a year to get it! He didn’t spend any of his allowance at the candy store or anything because he was saving for this particular lego. I was so proud of him that once he reached his goal I went in half with him. He was so stoked.

We built the gingerbread house last year (twice thanks to the cat ‍). It’s really cute. I bought a second gingerbread woman and demoted the guy to the snowblower, ha.

Oh, yeah, i was referring to the last one. I forgot there was one previously.

My favourite builds are the Creator Expert Modular buildings. I’ve got a whole street’s worth on a shelf near the ceiling.

And on the opposite wall I have a Star Wars shelf with the Death Star, Millennium Falcon, Tie fighters, etc.

Me and my lady want to create our own modular town, but my problem is that I REALLY want the Ghostbusters Firehouse for it. That, Daily Bugle, and Diagon Alley are all modular, which is insane!

I'll always love Ketamine eyes Yoda.

We just got these storage solutions in from Amazon. Being relatively space limited and wanting a presentable home while also wanting the kids to have their Lego time is a challenge but I feel this is a great solution.
