Built the IDEAS dinosaur bones with the kid. Definitely a tough build but the little dude loves them. But don’t fret, he got the Classic 1500 piece set and he has been loving it and building so many cool things. The bones are on display in his room proudly.

I finally did it. I bought 3 27 gallon totes at Costco to start a gross sort. I have something on the order of 200-300 gallons to sort. I spent about 4 hours sorting about 4 gallons. And that's just the prelim gross sort. I'll only do a fine sort after I fill one of the totes.

I want to try to complete my Thanks infinity gauntlet, I only have red orange and purple stones, I need blue green and yellow. Checking Bricklink I see listings for compete rings of 4 stones, and they are a few dollars each but the yellow stones seem to start at $10 and go up in price a lot. I think it will cost me about $20 to get everything. Is there some sort of trick to find listings of the individual stones? Does anyone here have extra stones or need extra stones, I would be willing to try to work out some way to split the cost a little.

I bought the stones individually and yeah yellow was much pricier than the others for some reason.

I'm doing a build that's going to be an old-school pulp sci-fi style alien hovertank. I know it's gonna take me a while; so far, I'm very pleased with how the main turret weapon is looking.

The 3 tubs I'm sorting to are one for plates, one for bricks bricks, and one for everything else. I also got two PAB cups to filter out every 1x1 plate/decoration piece into one and technic pins into the other. After one of the tubs fills, I'll sort into piece type into ziplocs. For the Misc tub, it might need a second subsort if I can figure out what that would involve. I was shocked at just how many brackets there were in this 4 gallons. So much SNOT building going on in sets now.

Ziplocks are a short lived gateway drug. It won't be long before you're hunting for the perfect plastic bins.

I'm at that stage. My Lego is sorted into dozens of ziplock bags and, while it does the job, they tend to break so I need something more permanent. I really need to sit down and figure out how many containers and what sizes I need, then go from there.

I finally finished assembling my counterfeit Porsche GT3 These pictures make it look small. It is not. It is huge. Those backsplash tiles behind it are 3" x 12"     I was really impressed with the quality of the kit. A few of the pieces were finicky and didn't snap in particularly well-- but I don't know the specific names of the pieces. Overall, a fun thing.

MetaJew posted:I finally finished assembling my counterfeit Porsche GT3 If it's a 1:1 copy of the Lego one, you should be able to change gears with the flappy paddles behind the wheel. The original Lego one has an error in the manual, though, so it goes from first to third, to second, to fourth gear. A simple swap of two gears make it go 1-2-3-4. It only changes gears via the paddles if it's not in neutral, though. IIRC it changes gears if it's in reverse.

I have them on display in my office on two 7' tall bookshelves and a locker unit. I don't really do a lot of MOC, which I realize the big organization systems would support best.

I keep most of my sets assembled but I have started storing some of them because I don't want my whole place overrun with Lego. Which is proving to be futile anyways lol. Most of my MOC parts either come from lots I bought or bricklink. Buying expensive sets just to part them out seems like a massive waste of money to me. And once a set has been disassembled and mixed in with my parts I consider it gone. I'm not rebuilding stuff from a 100 lbs of lego. Disassembled sets that I want to rebuild stay in their own separate area in labeled bags.

If I buy a set, it's to display, and I don't buy many because I only have 1 glass-covered case with 5 shelves. If I get a new model, like the Creator Expert Mustang I got for Christmas, then I sell it to make room rather than break it down into parts.

God, sorting Lego is so tedious. On the plus side, none of my base plates from the early 1980s have turned up, but I did find one green conical tree.

I've done most of my sorting during the NFL season, put a game on in the background to help the time pass and get lost in the process. But we cable cut early last year so I haven't watched any sports so no sorting got done.

All my stuff is sorted. It was a long and tedious job since I have over 100,000 parts, but worth it since I mainly do MOCs and it's so much easier grabbing parts that are already sorted. I get the appeal of sets, but almost all of what I buy these days is built once then broken down into parts and sorted. There's enough people in my local LUG who just do sets that I don't feel the need to get the expensive popular sets when I could just go over to someone's house to see them. I agree that buying sets to break down into parts can be wasteful, but as long as I'm picky with what I buy it's not too bad. Also, I have a lot of parts that have ended up in MOCs that I would never have thought to include if I didn't already have them - I like to work with what I have rather than order parts off Bricklink for every single thing.

Poor wording: the paddles are not easily accessed with the dash and stuff assembled . In addition there is some binding and I don't want to break anything trying to actuate it now that it is assembled. I didn't know about the error in the manual. I'll have to look up the fix and compare to my manual. Unless it's an easy fix with the car assembled, though, it's not getting fixed.
