What LEGO set did you build today?

[jkris53406]

I just built the new camper and logging truck with my kids. there's a TV I'm the camper(sticker) , I swear it looks like Dale from the walking dead.

Forgive me BPers, for I have sinned against LEGO.  Today I built a Kre-O USS Enterprise (the little one) and... I liked it!  I'm not sure I understand the point about having a 'light brick' that lights up only the stand, though.

I believe some of our local BrickPickers who also happen to be Trekkies caved in on those so don't be too harsh on yourself. I liked some of the Transformers builds myself although admitedly I just wanted the figures really.

Blasphemy!

Blasphemy!   

Yes. I was lured in by the cruel tempting mistress of other brick brands....but I rediscovered the light of Lego! OH HALLELUJAH, PRAISE LEGO! :angel:

The Monster Hunters Mad Scientist. Amazing set, highly recommended.

OK, have been spending too much time buying and selling lately, so need to take some time off and go build some new sets.

 

Creator Forest Animals 31019 - chose the monkey model, quick build, about an hour to finish.   It looks great when place next to 4884.

Creator Mountain Hut 31025 - another quick build

Palace cinema. My girlfriend and I spread it out over parts of 4 evenings and it is one of the most enjoyable builds.

We have a problem with the palace spire as one of the blue 2x16 curves but I will look for a replacement.

Are there any other current sets that are really fun to build? Example- I built jabba's palace to go with my skiff and pit but I found it to be a pretty boring build.

**phone posting is inefficient.**

Finished building the 6856 Planetary Decoder. Neat little set.

[MartinP]

Just finished building three 6115 Shark Scouts.

My 6 year old and I are busy working on 10235, Winter Village Market.  We finally finished the carousel last night, and we're working on the different food stands now.

[Dr. Brick]

Just built 10179, what a great build! I have had a first edition, unopened set since I bought it the week it first came out but always wanted to build it.

Obviously I did not open that set but built an excellent used one to build it.  Took me about 12 hours all together.

[El Guapo]

Just built Mirkwood Elf Army. This is a pretty cool little set....I didn't even mind paying retail for it!

[Sue866]

I built 31004 Creator Fierce Flyer. Pretty darn sweet looking for blocks to mimic an eagle. Now if only I could come up with something creative for the design contest...

 

This is the first set I've built for a whole year's time of buying, buying, buying.

This is the first set I've built for a whole year's time of buying, buying, buying.

I know what you mean. The only thing I built out of this entire year was the Haunted House. Well, that and Minifigures Series 9, 10, & 11, if you would actually count those as a 'build'.

I have to admit these new Hobbit sets are really good looking! I think at the least I will end up picking Dol Goldur Ambush before long.

[peculiar23]

I found this brick in a pile of stuff I bought.

 

So I dug through and found pieces to build 456 The Spirit of St. Louis.

 

 

I really love these old school sets from before Lego started making such a huge variety of elements. (Don't get me wrong, I love all the new sets too.)

I just have a special place in my heart for the simplicity of early Lego.

 

The set I built before this was 6656 Tow Truck

 

and a similar little truck tow behind it.

Those old ones are cool. I am the same, and still have my original pieces from when I was a kid, separate from our current Lego.

 

My son and I started our new Christmas tradition and build the Winter Village Market last night. He is loving the play factor with this set, especially the carousel of course. Michaelangelo became a quick rider on one of the horses. 

 

The build of the little stands is pretty simple and he did all of those easily - I just gather the pieces. The carousel took a little more help, but was a cool build. One of the best benefits of it was the chance for him to see how a series of gears works. I'll be buying a few more of these hopefully on sale after Christmas for investment.

Just finished building the 8362 Ferrari F1 Racer 1:24 Scale. Awesome set.

[MartinP]

Built the 6648 Mag Racer.

Awesome tradition between father and son.

Speaking of new Christmas traditions, my 4 yr old son and I just built our Harry Potter 4841 train (2010) with the 4808 platform (from 2001) and 10014 caboose (also from 2001). He even learned how to put the train on the Power Functions track and placed flat and cheese shaped white elements on everything for a Christmas winter look. Now I just have to see if I have enough 9v track or go with Power Functions,

[Alpinemaps]

I built the 2011 City Advent elements last night, to add to my Winter Village. I'm in the middle of building the Winter Village Market right now...my almost 6 year old daughter and I have done the carousel. We are about to start on the stands today.

[exciter1]

Built the Super Heroes: Man-Bat Attack yesterday.  The bat helicopter is the highlight from the set and it's nice that we have an official Nightwing.  My son was just disappointed when I tried to find an episode from Batman: The Animated Series where Nightwing and Man-Bat actually appear together, they don't.

Hogwarts 4757 and a huge lot of old HP sets over the past few days and QAR

[jayteef]

Just finished building 5770 Lighthouse Island and it was a blast.  This set is quickly becoming one of the favorite in my collection.  The lighthouse has a great design and the lightbrick is a cool feature.  A must have for lighthouse fans!
