I have a bookshelf that fits exactly Assembly Square and one other modular, which is a great motivation to stop there.

Droppin' in with a snapshot of the MOCs I am incredibly slowly working on. Nearly done at this point but there's still a couple small details I'm not satisfied with. We've got a yellow roadster of some sort on the left, and a red hovercar on the right. Whee!

Is there a way to pre-order coming soon stuff off the Lego site? Or do you have to go into one of the stores?

Usually there is a window to preorder on the website, if they are taking preorders. Some sets they don't though, like the Tallneck from Horizon Forbidden West that's coming out next month.

The bookshop actually was my first, so that's worked out for me! Didn't have any complaints about it, but the police station was my second and it did feel like a step-up.

I have to be careful, buying bulk Lego on Goodwill can be a bit addicting. Had to sort a fair amount of Tyco blocks from the latest batch but the unopened bags of Lego alone would have cost three times what I paid for the bulk lot. Didn't get as many basic bricks as I was hoping for thanks to all the non-Lego brand bricks, but the plethora of Minecraft sets I found mixed in resulted in a lot of other pieces I would have been ordering from Bricklink.

FBS posted:Is there anyone in this thread who has bought and built just one (1) modular, with no plans to get more? Yep, the Diner. Although technically I didn't buy it, I won it in a competition. It's a cool set but they're expensive and I'm just not that interested in modern-day stuff, I've always preferred historical or futuristic themes. Anyway, I know enough people who collect modulars that it's easy enough for me to see almost any of them in person.

about 80% of why i want a modular is for another, less daunting project after the falcon, and to get that sweet old timey cab freebie they give you at the lego store. but none of the ones out right now really appeal to me. i wish there were a hundred sets like the medieval blacksmith honestly

There always seems to be people bidding on stuff in the sketchiest condition for prices that seem worse than you could get elsewhere, and I have no idea how anyone finds a deal on that site.

I realize it's not one of your $800 motorized, large dog sized, super expert crane models, but the 60324 mobile crane is just delighting me. the roller screw actuator to lift the crane arm up, the dinky friction retention for the cord winder, the extending crane arm. just all these cheap, simple little actions that combine up into this huge swoosh.

 We have a lot of space red hinges from the Madrigal House and I noticed they had a nice texture that could work as an engine. Some vague inspiration came from a few Star Wars speeders (the angled front from the ones in Solo, the red blocky shape from Rey's speeder in TFA) and I really wanted to use the seats as something other than seats. The interior of the back could be cleaned up a lot since it's a mess of plates at the moment. It's structurally sound though, especially because it's a lot more conventional than most recent ones. Hardest part was making the driver's area work. I went though a lot of options before settling on the armrests. It looks better with a minifig in but I don't have a good spot to photograph at the moment.

Hey classic red hovercar buddy, very nice. Love the chairs as the hover covers (that's what I call anything that looks like it's shielding a hovering mechanism)

Yeah, you see some crazy prices on some lots, particularly on complete and unopened sets. A lot of it comes down to luck I guess, my latest lot was dirt cheap because I guess nobody was interested in what appeared to be almost entirely basic bricks.

Buying the new one every year is way less of a concern than getting the bug for collecting ones that are out of production. Feel genuinely bad for anyone getting started in modulars at this point.

Landed a free Lego Craigslist posting yesterday. Looking good so far to cover my gas and tolls into the city. Lots of dirt and dust in these, guy said the box was open in his garage, so it will be a bit of cleanup.  Quick first pass through the box last night. Will give it another closer, general sort this weekend decide what’s mostly there and worth rebuilding for resell or keeping.

Yeah, I only started collecting LEGO in general since getting this job in October and now I'm looking at the older modulars and really wanting some. The Diner is one I really want, especially after seeing it on display in the office. I'll probably get it off BrickLink at some point, I guess, but not being able to use the staff discount makes it sting a little. Prices don't look too bad.

This is what I'm all about. I love getting the bulk lots but then I hate the sorting part. I see the Power Functions remote in there. Are there train bits or is that for some other motor? I need more train bogies and wheels!

Just in case anyone else decides to be stupid and try to collect all the tiles, I figured out how to arrange them on a 32x32 baseplate for display/storage/shits and giggles. Hopefully this saves someone else the ten whole minutes of counting and rearranging I did.

Those tiles are rad, I have some from a beatbox and a few bandmates. I've been using them to replace 'photos' and 'posters' in other sets that would have had stickers. I kinda think the entire Vidiyo line is going to end up being one of the more collectible things Lego has done in a while, it's very different from their usual fare, the minifigs are great, and the 'real sets' from the second wave are really creative and cool. I grabbed the Punk Pirate Ship before it went away, but haven't had a chance (or space) to build it yet.
