I think this is technically the right thread.  I've been doing brick built stop-motion on TikTok lately.  

Finally built 31033 last night after having it sit in my backlog for years now.

7709 Sentai Fortress. I know this set doesn't get much love (or Exo-Force in general) but I had a great time building it.

Quite a bit going on in this set, 2 mechs, 2 tall towers, service area, entry gate and walls. I had to put the towers on the inside for it to fit on the shelf once it was moved, it was almost 3 feet wide without doing that. I think if a set like this was released today under Ninjago it would do really well, but hey, it was cheap even after 10 years of retirement

Bonus: I wish Brickset had a tag for "folding box". And that Lego did that anymore in general

Finished the Joker Bricksketch this morning.  Much more interesting and substantial compared to the Batman build.  One interesting feature of the Joker is that if you throw him up on a wall or shelf, the eyes tend to follow you due to the way they're sunk into his face.  Really creepy.  Here are the stop motion videos I made if you want to see the guts:

Overall I really like these sets, but wish they were at the Brickheadz price point or included a minifig.

Are they made to hang?  I wondered if it's just a flat edge or if they tried to put in a keyhole slot or something for a nail to help in hanging.

It's pretty slick tbh.

7261 Clone Turbo Tank (non-light up Mace). This set has been a white whale of mine for a while, finally found a mostly complete one for a good price. I thought the build was great and it displays very well, I was surprised at the footprint of it overall. Looks like a centipede atat from the way the picture was taken

this was the first turbo tank I built as well...cool set but eventually the flimsiness of the end wheels bothered me enough to sell and replace w/ the next version.

OT: we are in the middle of Season 6 and the Turbo tank has always been just a glorified backdrop in the series...is there an actual episode coming up where they are highlighted like the other main CW vehicles?

It only appears in 4 episodes of Clone Wars, and you've already seen 3 of the episodes. It's only seen in action on Felucia, and even then it ain't much.

Very Cool.  Who's MOC is it?

I'm actually about half way done with my U-Project right now.  I bought the instructions for the TS-Project too so that will probably be my next project.

I think I saw this MOC floating around ReBrickable yeah?

And super jealous of that U-Wing... wish I could get my hands on one of those

The Treehouse was my Father’s Day present. Snagged one when they finally came back @ LEGO Shop at Home at end of May. Finished building it the other day.

I loves the build and the attention to detail. I’m going to BL the tree branch bricks so I can build the autumn look and just switch the entire tree limbs.
