Alpinemaps Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 We finished the Haunted House, and now we are working on the Crazy Scientist and His Monster. It's a fun build. Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker Quote
nickguay Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I built the logging truck with my son last evening and it's not only a fun build but also a lot of fun to play with Quote
fuzzy_bricks Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Built a Melting Room and a Spider Cycle Chase over the past couple nights. Melting Room is ok, the SHIELD vehicle from the chase set is pretty decent. Venom is cool, the face printing seems more detailed than most minifigure heads I've seen. Quote
seapotato Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Built a slave I. Need to dig around for some missing pieces. Sent from my iPod touch using Brickpicker Quote
hockeypunk05 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Built my 7191 for only the second time since getting it. Most of the pieces are discolored from sitting on display for a few years. Quote
MarleyMoose Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Finished the Tumbler from 7888. 98+% original so far. Still sifting through the bulk lot it came with for a few of the parts. A couple of the missing pieces have a sticker too. grrr.... Happy though, it should fetch a pretty penny either way. The Ice Cream Truck is proving to be difficult to find. Quote
weakside Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I am not really a builder but just finished weathertop with some help from my son. set could have been bigger but I thought it was well built and had interesting angles/pieces...the ringwraiths are very cool and set comes with nice figs... 3 rings. this set only had 400 pieces and took some effort - I wonder how I am going to handle a modular haha. guess I have to pace myself Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Built all but one of the mixels. (Got two of one set by accident) I know there's not a lot of love for these but gf and I like them. Going to have a contest next weekend to see who can make the best mixel monster out of all the sets. Should be fun with two winners and no losers. Quote
dman2900 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Just a few of th esets I have built from my bulk buy....... Just 40 some more sets to go for this bulk purchase........ Quote
holleman67 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Built battle of hoth and the x-wing from a trade to sell, tomorrow is sail barge and tie fighter 1 Quote
Quacs Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Started 7775 Aquabase Invasion tonight. What a really cool set. After building most of the sets of this theme, I think Aqua Raiders is a really underrated theme - right there with Power Miners on the underrated scale. Quote
phltan Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Built Farnsworth House. Fun build but a bit tedious putting down the 1x1 flat pieces. Quote
seapotato Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I built the Orc Forge today. The light up brick is neat! Quote
nickguay Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I built Jabba's Palace, Rancor Pit and Desert Skiff with my kids...it was good day! Quote
knarrff Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Just started on the mini modulars I got used and "almost complete" for a fair price. I only have the first corner so far, but it already now looks cute. Quote

kenchu2000 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I'm missing just 7 bricks from the Mini Modular set that I tried to Bricklink. I may start it tonight. Just curious, how much did it cost to bricklink the mini-modular? Quote
strangeboy Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Minecraft Nether and Village for my desk @ work. Forest next. I have ample spare pieces to build some add-ons. I've never played Minecraft, but I got these cheap, and they look decent enough to go with my microscale builds (which now require some subterranean details). Our cubes are going away so I'll have far less room to display larger sets. The book shelf in my cube was quite long, and once held GE, FB, PS, PC, and TH modulars. Needless to say, people enjoyed looking at them. I'd often be away from my desk for meetings, etc., and would return to find strangers (it's a large office) standing in my cube staring at the mods and peering into the windows (which i made worth their while by adding some interesting scenes). With the new, smaller, low-wall style workspaces, most people will be telecommuting, but people (and I) will still need some LEGO to view. Plus, people who think of squatting in my space will know it's 'occupied'. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Working on an SSD. SHould be done tomorrow. Absolute beast of a set. So impressive. Quote
Alpinemaps Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Just curious, how much did it cost to bricklink the mini-modular? I'm not sure. I'm going to guess it would have better to just grab one off of eBay. I had a couple of bulk sets around, so I thought I could grab the bricks from those sets. But, here are so many tiny pieces in this set, it's a challenge. I probably bought about half the bricks. That was about $50 or $60. I only substituted 2 bricks out of 1300+. This one isn't one for the faint of heart to BL. Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker Quote

Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker To add to the above: it was my first attempt at BL'ing a set. Tonight, I built the truck from Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape (modified slightly to fit into my Winter Village) and the first part of the Mini Modulars. Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker Quote
vincevaughn Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Just finished a 2505 Garmadon's Dark Fortress set, out of a bulk lot. Was pleasantly surprised at how good a build it was. Best part was it was 100% complete with box, instructions and an unused sticker sheet Quote
exciter1 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Chima: Laval's Royal Fighter (70005) - This was mostly a Technic build, much to my surprise. If you need a little introduction to Technic, this is a good one. Quote
knarrff Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I couldn't help myself but simply had to finish the mini modulars yesterday. In fact, it wasn't really until today very early morning that I did. It looks so cute, I hope Lego does a second edition with the newer sets. 15 pieces turned out to be missing, but all of them are pretty standard stuff, nothing that should be trouble to BL. And for $50 shipped I don't complain. Happy. Quote
smuddger Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Let me start it off by telling you what I built recently. I built the 10174 STAR WARS UCS AT-ST. It took me about 4 hours to build while watching TV and was well worth it. Big set...surprisingly so. Very realistic. I just didn't like that there was no interior parts or details. I love greebles. Overall...a winner in my book. These are great sets i buy these and build and flip regularly, Really great build Quote
