I’ve got into Lego recently after my wife bought me the big R2D2 unit for Christmas. Getting the leg mechanisms working was frustrating as it was the first time I’ve built Lego since I was a kid and the instructions weren’t entirely clear to me, but once I figured out how it all went together it was ridiculously satisfying. I’ve since completed a little London bus and the Walt Disney movie camera, am currently working on the kingfisher, and have the bonsai tree waiting for me. Hoping to get the Batman Returns set soon. Has anyone built Chewbacca? It was on my wishlist but I read some reviews which said it was a bit dull because of the brownness. Not sure if I should risk it. I had no idea Lego was this much fun. And I’m pretty sure my wife regrets her decision. 😄 Creature fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Mar 9, 2024 |

The bonsai tree is very pretty for sure, but I think there ought to be a rule that the advertised piece count only includes pieces you actually build with. 878 pieces. 200 of them are studs which you mix and pour into the base lol

gschmidl posted:Yeah, that's pretty weak. Oh nice! I'm still partway through building it, so I might try this instead and see how it comes out.  I've been reading back issues of Bricks magazine this week and learned there was a really nice Batman 1989 Batmobile released back in 2019, but It's discontinued now. I guess it must have been a 30th anniversary thing. Are sets ever reissued? There's some on ebay but they're all over 300€.

The current thread title is worryingly accurate. I’m currently unemployed so I have the time to build Lego, but at some point I’m going to have to reconsider my spending on these things. I didn’t expect to get so into Lego like I have. Turns out it’s a lot of fun. poo poo.

I feel like it must be a lot of fun for Lego designers to throw tiny details into your designs that you know will potentially only be seen briefly during the building process, but will bring a little smile to those who notice it.

I bought the Lion Knights castle via Lego.com because it's an exclusive, but everything else I've got from either Prisma or Verkkokauppa because their prices are so much better. Now I have over 3,000 Lego points which I have no idea what to do with. lol.
