What LEGO set did you build today?

[waddamon]

We are halfway through barracuda bay, a great set, I just love ships.  Hard to beat.

[marcandre]

Built this over the weekend. Not too tough. Pretty dense build. Drives great, the new driving app works fine. I think leaving the decals off was the right move. 

[jaisonline]

Now you guys are going to make me break open my 10188 Part Deux. I picked a new one up last yr that was in a totally crushed retail box but sealed bags.

Done sorting, getting started on 10195 soon. 
 

bit the bullet and bought one used from Ebay $550 plus $35 shipping...it's been on my bucket list since i first saw one..the price is a little high (I think) but the condition looked near new (which is important for this set) and sticker sheet was un-applied.

Like I said, I've been hunting one for the past two years and honestly the price holds rock solid...so the day after I build it LEGO should be re-leasing it.

I finally did it. Cut the seals on my first UCS set and pipsqueak built most of it.  11hrs build time on the dot.

I’ve made some progress, but sadly still building. With work, my other work, kids, and yard work, I’m busier than I want to be during this quarantine. I haven’t fired up my XBox the entire time I’ve been home.

Be sure to post pics of this bad boy once done!

We have been continuing to build sets from the big FB buy we made. Fun stuff! Already sold all but Jabba’s Prize.

 

[jaisonline]

Rebuilt one of my favorite sets from my top 3 themes. I now have 3 of them so will try to make a larger MOC.

I purchased this set back in 2010 when my son was 1 and had it in his room (out of reach) for over a year. Then it was put into the box and forgotten about.


7621 Indiana Jones & The Lost Tomb. Too bad a Well of Souls wasn’t made.

how appropriate. 

[bouncer]

Built 6561 hot rod club. 

[uaford]

We built the ARC-170 Starfighter from 2005. Another set from the FB find. 

[MotorCityMuscle]

pretty cool looking set ^

Watching you guys build yours almost makes me sad I sold mine.  But like someone else said, everything has a price and I got $750 for my used set.  In fact, the only thing I've been able to build are sets I have been selling.  I've done almost as much deconstructing as building just to make sure they're 100% complete.

[jaisonline]

Rebuilt my 21303 Wall-E yesterday. Some of you might remember I motorized it back in 2015 with Power Functions w/ decent success.  I posted pics in our Wall-E thread long ago.

I built it with the original neck design and then the Lego fix. I don’t notice much improvement. I did purchase the Chris McVeigh fix in Sept. 2015 so maybe that will be tried next.

Over the last week, 31044 Creator 3-in-1 Park Animals

[Ogelwoc]

Just finished building this beauty.
Bought NISB for $350 and was deliberating whether to flip for profit. Glad I build it. Probably can sell for higher my buy in anyway.

Since the Canadian dollar is weak (I don't really know, it just always is that way, right?), I'll trade you that Park Animals set for that guy.

*sigh*  Best ship ever.

We finished up the 4482 Star Wars AT-TE set over the weekend. Great set considering it’s from 2003. Final product looks better than Captain Rex’s AT-TE 75157 that the kids built last summer. Forgot to get a comparison pic.

Next up from the FB lot:  7163 Rebublic Gunship.

Would really appreciate a comparison w/ Cap Rex AT-TE. very curious why one is barely over RRP and the other is over 3x

there's 75019 as well

DOM'S CHARGER.

I am not nearly as critical of this set as Hwu. Yes, its a technic set that doesn't have traditional Rack & Pinion steering, but does have the neat Wheelie display feature. It's boxy, large, heavy, bouncy springs that bottom out, questionable steering mechanism. Its a m-f-ing DODGE CHARGER!

If you want a good frame, just don't complete bags 3 and 4 and then you have a really nice underbody that you could use as a template for other models. It's a technic set made more zoomable and easier to control with the rear steering mechanism.

This is a fun set.

Personally, my favorite AT-TE is 7675.  Not only is it the largest, it works perfectly with the Dropship from 10195.

Comparison between AT-TEs:
