Here's a review of the forthcoming Guardians of the Galaxy ship. https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-marvel-76193-the-guardians-ship-review-a-ucs-set-for-the-superhero-age/ I'm not really in to marvel or space ships, but being able to rotate it on it's stand will make for a more dynamic display.

Interceptor progress "oh cool I can turn this new tie fighter into an awesome looking interceptor? It's only $30 on Amazon rn lets do this!" "oh wait the comments say he added a few parts nbd" I have have like 100lbs of sorted Lego parts" "oh wait literally almost nothing from this """"alternate build"""" was from the original set and I have like 20% of the parts I need after sifting through my poo poo for hours and making a complete mess of my house" "is there a parts list? Nope. cool I guess someone in the Youtube comments did it for him so I have it now" "$30 more blown on BL and I still am missing a few parts" Like, dude if you want to make a cool mod, show it off but don't pretend like it isn't going to be a nightmare for anyone else to do unless they have an insane selection of parts to pull from. I make poo poo that I have no idea how to tutorialize for other people but I don't frame it as "one easy trick" or something.

I did my first build session since the middle of April last night. I'm finally working on Discovery after finishing Hubble and just... stopping. Anhedonia sucks and I had fun. Now to finish the Shuttle and tackle my pile of shame.

You didn't pay for the instructions did you? If you did, and the person labeled it as an alt-build, leave a bad review or comment saying it's not really an alt build.

Yeah sometimes my wife is like "why don't you build something to cheer yourself up" and I'm like "I wouldn't enjoy it"... BRAINS YAY Shuttle rules. I usually keep my most recent build on the coffee table but Discovery has been on the coffee table and other things have gone straight to display/parts bin since I built it.

I got the Yoda statue and the Ecto-1 for my birthday, as well as a surfer dude with a teeny car that my dad got for ordering online. I’ve started working on the former The first bag is a box-shaped scaffold with Yoda feet on the bottom; rectangular frames with a bunch of these blue pins sticking out of the sides. I have two blue pins left over in the first bag rather than the usual one, and even though I’ve triple checked everything, I’m still feeling kinda  about missing something.

Between the hassle, minimum buys and shipping costs I don't know how much I would have come out ahead trying to save some money. Cojawfee posted:You didn't pay for the instructions did you? If you did, and the person labeled it as an alt-build, leave a bad review or comment saying it's not really an alt build. No it was just some Youtube video. Really nothing wrong with it and it's not like he's charging anyone. Just seems silly to make it seem like an alt build when it uses 50 part types that aren't in the set, and you mostly need them in quantities of 4-16 because it has 4 wings. It's something very few people are just going to be able to "throw together"

I speak about selling as part of the hobby. Which I will continue to do as it was determined ages ago that it’s okay to talk about that part of the hobby in this thread. I also used to trade lego a lot, but haven't lego traded in a couple of years. When I was doing trading I probably did at least 50 trades. My collection is pretty much covered now so thankfully I don’t have to hang out on /r/legotrade anymore.

Scalping is a really annoying problem that affects buying most things these days, but personally I couldn't care less if someone wants to resell something down the line. Stashing some sets away to cover some of the cost of your hobby isn't a bad idea and I have thought about it myself at times (I cant help myself from building any set I buy and I get gun shy on buying 2 copies of some expensive set though). Especially in regards to something like Ninjago Gardens, which is widely available to anyone right now and won't have any added value until it's out of production for like a year. Somebody squirreling one away isn't hurting anyone. On the other hand I think the same guy was bragging about scoring 3x copies of the Bricklink castle at the same time that all of the rest of us were complaining about not being able to get one, which is pretty whack.

The third party separators with the technic pin tweezers are awesome for this, it makes disassembly way more easy. I really hope Lego would create a special brick separator for Technic that has this (like they have one for the mosaic sets), but I guess they won't :/
