Anyone else get that gingerbread house mini freebie? Holy poo poo I got a lot of extra pieces. I mean like, easily 30 pieces. Multiples of same piece, too.

Yeah, haven't built it yet. 499 pieces is kinda crazy for a freebie. I'm guessing it is 250 greebles. The big gingerbread house had a ton of extra pieces, too.

Extra pieces are always good. I believe it's one extra of the smaller parts per numbered bag so you often do get duplicates. They're great for detailing MOCs

The Batmobile was the slimmest set I've ever built for extra parts. was almost wondering if they were cutting down on that. Only had a couple dozen little greebles left over from a 3500 part set. I'm pretty anal about keeping my sets complete but extra parts always go in the MOC bins.

I haven't got mine yet, but I'm assuming that there's not many single stud pieces in the set? That's usually where the extras come from.

Whenever there is something bigger than 1x1-stud left: time to go back through the instructions

I wonder if anyone is mad enough to one-pile the batmobile. Still haven't started to build mine, but peeking at the instructions and 24 bags, with tons and tons of black.

" Lego Back " is a real loving thing. What the gently caress. Are we just all old or what?

The 2x3 and 1x1 bricks and the 2x2 plates are not in the 'extra pieces' category. Either it was an error with packaging or you messed up the build! Time to completely disassemble and start over.

Building at a desk or table doesn't help either.

Come on, don't build on the floor, guys! We only built on the floor as children because our parents banished us there, declaring us unworthy of playing Lego on the table. But we're adults now, their tyranny is over and we can play Lego on the table, as men. edit - Yeah it still kills my back though

I build at a card table sitting in my computer chair and can do 6+ hours pretty easy, I'll be a little stiff but no actual pain.

I pull my adjustable office chair to the table when building so I don't have to arch my back. That has the added bonus of giving the cat a place to sit that isn't a pile of Lego.

The only solution to "Lego Back" is exercise, which means you need to buy MORE Lego to build so you strengthen those muscles!

Don't forget to work on that hip mobility, sitting cross legged for hours is gonna cause some sore hips so make sure to include some UCS destroyer squats.

You can use the same set over and over if you add a stair- or ladder-climbing exercise to the routine

Feenix posted:See? This is a lot of extra pieces! 40337 right? Looks like you have gotten more parts than you should. According to the inventory on Bricklink it's not supposed to have any 2x3 bricks or 1x1 bricks in grey (it is grey, right?). Apparently it's got eight 2x2 brown plates so might be worth checking the build again for those. Also looks like you have more spare small parts than you should. Occasionally I've gotten extra big parts. I have one of the minifig scale Millennium Falcons and got an extra trans-blue tube for the engine with that. Oxyclean posted:I wonder if anyone is mad enough to one-pile the batmobile. Still haven't started to build mine, but peeking at the instructions and 24 bags, with tons and tons of black. I've one-piled the UCS Sandcrawler more than once and that's only a little smaller than the Batmobile. To be fair, it's mostly brown and grey so it's easier to find parts in that than in a pile of black.

The batmobile doesn’t get super black until around the last 1/3rd of the build. The overall set is pretty multicolored and most of the black parts are fairly large. I wouldn’t one pile it myself but I’d certainly rather one pile that set over an all gray Star Wars set or something.

Its crazy how much I got. [edit] Ironically, it was actually missing one piece too. Light Grey 1x1 round stud.

Some 20% off stuff at target yesterday, I picked up the A-Wing to have something to build and get that General Leia's irl daughter minifig, and the Knight Bus to replace my wife's shoddy old Knight Bus at work.

Hey guys, missed the last 1,500 posts. Anything good in there? What's the verdict on the new modular book shop? 'Cause I'm super into it and already thinking about how I can clear some space for that bad boy on my very limited display shelf.
