Been slowly working through the NES. It's such a nice build until the scrolling background. Then it is utter poo poo. I can't ever remember a build going from so much fun to utter slog like this. The only other build I can think of with such disparity is the first two bags of Ninjago City. Those are pretty bad but then it's glorious until the end. I think I have one more bag before the background is done.

I didn’t mind the water stage of NC. Everyone complains about it but when I was done I said “that’s it?” Repetition is not something to fear with builds imo. E: in fact it was seeing NC Docks with and particularly its water tile arrangement in a display at the Lego store that planted the seed in my mind to get both of them. At the time it seemed totally extravagant to someone used to the standard blue baseplate to represent water, but I could see it represented a quantum leap in the evolution of lego. It was a done deal and a must have- no regrets whatsoever and can’t wait for the Gardens. Harold Stassen fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Aug 20, 2020 |

Grover was a goon who posted nonsense about lasers in DoD and then self-built a nonsensical house in a swamp pretending to be an exurb. I’m really underselling it.

He couldn't get approval to build his lovely house so he got himself "qualified" and then approved it on his own.

The reason Groverhaus has had a particular resurgence this week is, thanks to the absurdly detailed map, you can find and crash a plane into it in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. If it somehow also featured Doobie ziplining, it would be the perfect microcosm of goon projects.

Grover also thought that being a government contractor made him equivalent to being a military officer and should qualify him to be moderator of the goons in platoons forum.

That looks like something that is going to be gone forever on day one and immediately jacked up 5x on ebay.

Should be 29.99 but it's a cool set. I like that they just made it look cool and went for the AFOL crowd instead of trying to make a playset out of it tbh. I think it's a good choice for that scene. Also, bespin Luke is one of the maybe 10 OT characters/variants I don't have since I skipped UCS Cloud City, so I'll bite. Why do you guys think it will be hard to find? I don't think any of the other target exclusives have been. Edit: wow UCS cloud city has gone wayyyyy up in price, Jesus. Maybe I shouldn't have slept on that one. Lol the few SW sets who prices shoot through the roof right after they go OOP are the ones I don't buy. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Aug 20, 2020 |

Too bad, that'd be my first star wars set in 20 years if I could get it. Its the most dramatic scene in the whole ennealogy.¹ ¹Ennealogy is a 9 part story. I learned a new word today.

Looks like the Hagrid and Buckbeak Brick Headz that leaked a month or so ago is going to be the GWP to coincide with the Diagon Alley release. Not planning to buy the later so personally I'm a bit gutted to be missing out.

If you have any old old pieces, make sure the water is less than 40C, or wash them separately in cooler water (they will warp otherwise)
