I got the Jazz Quartet and have started building it and so far it is fascinating. I did the trumpeter and it was an interesting build. I'm excited to build the rest.

It's not that bad.

I like clicking the windows in, and took the time to make sure each one had the die tooling mark oriented in the same direction (bottom, facing inward) :unsmigghh:

one of my favorite builds so far, every musician you put together is so different and it looks great on display

Just finished the bassist. The bass was an interesting build, too.

So far, this is low key one of the best sets of the year.

I asked Santa for Tales of the Space Age and the Light My Bricks kit to go with it. It was a good little build.

Ok, hypothetically if a movie was released on March 29th, 2024 at what point would Lego announce any forthcoming set or sets?

Look the Lancia vs Audi movie comes out next week and I’m still holding out hope for an 037 to go with my Quattro. Even if the current Quattro isn’t the right year per se. cmon Lego, you cowards!

I like to build/collect the licensed car sets. I just realized that Optimus prime is technically a car….i might buy that. Any other sets like this that I wouldn’t normally think of as primarily a car set?

While they are "trucks" on the outside, the Monster Jam sets all come with alternate builds for different types of cars as well. The Megaldon has a formula car build with the teeth being the bars for the cockpit, and the Dragon has a drag racer.

Im feeling extremely loving miffed at the moment. Finally building the Concorde I got myself for Christmas, and I got to bag 10 only to realize I’m missing the wheel gear. I looked everywhere, I tore my room apart because maybe I misplaced it? Nope, it was never there. I sent a thing to Lego about it a few days ago but last time this sort of thing happened it was a few weeks before I ever saw the piece in my mailbox. Just… I dunno man! I’ve been wanting to build this forever and it sucks to have to wait because of an issue like this.

Jesus, apparently the D&D Lego is going to be massive, from some rumors. 3745 pieces, for $359.99.

Sounds like it'd still be massively scaled down from the original submission.

After finishing the Jazz Quartet, I have to say, it is my set of the year.

Build of the year is the drug trip that is the Solus.

Almost all trains have cars. Are locomotives a car? I guess all of them would then.

I have light kits for most of the stuff in the cabinet and a couple of the cars that I haven't installed yet. Also multiple USB extension cables and a hub to connect them all up. It's going to be siiiiiiick

It's funny looking at the Tallneck next to Optimus Prime knowing that Optimus costs $100 more. Lego pricing is insane.

I wasn’t expecting much after the last few full character model sets but that looks pretty good. Looks like printed pieces for the eyes?

My niece isn't big into Lego. I got her a few small Frozen sets when they came out, and they sit on a shelf in her bedroom. I 100% know she's going to want that one when it comes out though. Good to know her birthday present for this year has been sorted early.

You shared it with a dick.

Forgot to update when I got the Concorde finished. Very satisfying build, and it looks incredible up close. The droop snoot and landing gear are both really cleverly designed.



Building is thirsty work.



The orange leftover parts are temporary pieces that aid in building it, including two gussets that keep the wings from tipping over as you build them vertically. Really nicely thought out.

That leads us to Christmas. My 86 year old dad decided he wanted to buy everyone something expensive this year. My daughter dropped the knowledge that I wanted the Titanic so he got it for me. My daughter made it home from college this weekend and a bunch of my friends are sick, so party plans got cancelled. We had nothing else going on so we decided to ring in the new year drinking and building Lego.

The Titanic is loving epic. I spent about three hours just to get this far:



Check out how they hang the anchors:









There is some seriously tedious poo poo going on but the detail is worth it.



I worked on this while she continued the Ecto 1 build that she started on Halloween.



First section finished at about 1AM:



Got started on the next section but burned out at about a quarter to three.



This represents about 9 solid hours of building. The booze did not slow me down, in fact the building distracted me so I wasn't as tipsy as I wanted to be when the ball dropped. My pictures suck but there is a shitload of detail in there with dozens of teeny pieces which is what makes it take so long. Just in these two sections it has about 75 portholes on each side of the black areas and each porthole pair is a little 5-6 piece assembly. You can see some in the anchor picture with flash.

I've been dying to spend more time with my kid anyway so I could hardly think of a better way to spend the evening.

Got up early after working New Year’s Eve to get the wall parrots. Line was longer than I anticipated but managed to get the set and give it to my wife as a late Christmas present.

Bonus sighting of an IRL Comic Book Guy grabbing the last x-men jet off the shelf before a dad could get it for his kid. Not in a rude way, fair and square, but…cmon.
