I've been doing that too. My daughter packed up her Friends and Disney sets a couple of years ago since she wasn't into them anymore. I've been tasking my son with rebuilding them to ensure they're complete. While he loves Lego, he hasn't been so enthusiastic about rebuilding Rapunzel's Tower and Cinderella's Castle. haha I've got more he needs to build too!

The Lightailing LED Kit...not cheap, but adds awesome detail for your collections at night. Makes me want to do all of my displays...but I don't have the time nor the money.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sud28 Posted August 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2020 Built my first 3 Lego sets in almost 15 years. Can't wait to build and display the other skyline. About the display: I wanted to display my skyline sets using the Kasseby display boxes as posted by others. However, some of the newer sets are much deeper (>10cm) and did not fit in the boxes. Here is my alternative which in my opinion looks nicer and is cheaper: 2 x IKEA Mosslanda (115 cm) 2 x IKEA SÄVSTA Memo board for the black background Clear Acrylic sheet from Home Depot LED lights from Amazon 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keymomachine Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Pulled my 9V train kit out of my parents basement today. Of course I stripped it down long ago but I might use it with the Crocodile locomotive I've got. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thanos75 Posted August 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Most people aren't aware the 2 months ago I had a pretty serious stroke. Im only 45 and in good shape. Ends up I had a 13mm hole in my heart so it was only a matter of time. So since I have 6months off of work and with all the crazy stuff going on in the world I figured it was good therapy to get back to building. So this is the first think I have built. Turned out ok. Will be starting on Dr.Stranges house tomorrow. Edited August 5, 2020 by Thanos75 18 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thanos75 Posted August 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2020 Yes. The hole in my heart allowed a clot to enter the blood supply to my brain. Im fortunate that from just looking and talking to me you cant tell. I have some memory issues , constant tingling on my right side and some issues with my vision. All have been getting better amd building is good therapy . 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post oneknightr Posted August 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2020 Finally finished Ewok Village to prep it to sell after getting my last bricklink order. This was a really fun build. It was cool seeing the trees come together. Even though there are several trunks, it never felt repetitive at all. The finished set looks great too. It's a shame the previous owner wrote on a couple of the covers and pages in the manual. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusiKyle Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 This was a really fun build. The instructions are split up nicely. Even though some parts of the build are a bit repetitive those moments go by quickly and something new and novel gets built. $199 would have been great but I still think this is worth the $229 I paid. You do need to connect Mario to your phone at least once to update his software to allow him to understand the scan code on the TV. If you don't, his stomach displays a cell phone on it with the bluetooth symbol. Without updating, he'll response to the various colors as you cycle through the screen but interprets them as land and water etc instead of playing the right sounds that sync with what's on the TV. I love the TV build. Even without function its just so retro it's great. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks great on display and was a really fun build. One of the few sets in my collection that I’ve built twice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecto Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Built the BB-8 Brick Sketch. A little more involved than the other two. Nice finished design, but still think it should have come with a minifig or have been priced lower.
