I dare you to call it a perm again..

Whomever suggested not adding a light kit to the Home Alone set: I had attempted to do so after mom bought one for the Sesame Street set (which younger lil man destroyed in earnest)…

Just seeing the actual ‘not lights’ setup at the end of the Home Alone set, I wouldn’t turn that into LEDs with a gun to my head lol

Just learned about the new Lego Mario sets coming later this year (and that they’re doing Mario Kart).

The train looks so cool. I’m such a sucker for this stupid sub-theme. It’s gotten me “playing” with legos (as opposed to just building sets) more than any theme in my entire life. It’s all just so clever and charming how they recreate recognizable Mario video game characters and gameplay mechanics using Lego bricks.

I just truly finished the Home Alone set, treehouse and fake basement and all. Anyone got a suggestion of how to install some boss LEGO shelves that could accomodate something like that set? “oh, it’s just a flat house”, “oh, it has a back staircase and fake basement”, “oh, it has a treehouse with a zipline” sort of shelving? I love the IDEA (yuk yuk) but goddamnit who gave these IDEAs people infinite XxY pixels haha

Edit: To be constructive (yuk yuk yuk) it feels like a 6x6’ wall of 3 or 4 1.5’ shelves would do it, I just want it to look nice so my wife doesn’t hate me

Edit x2: I also have the Sesame Street, lunar lander, ISS, and one shelves’ worth of architectural sets if that helps. The Atari 2600 as well; for scale I assume it would take half of one of these shelves, between the console/game holder/statues. Damnit, I am a hoarder.

I think the sculpting on the interceptor looks better than the regular tie fighter personally.

That’s a tough one cause I think it looks good and that is my favorite tie fighter but imo the current one looks just as good for a fraction of the price and a fraction of the space. 2/3rds of my UCS are just sitting in the closet cause I don’t have room for them.

If anyone wants to buy me one I’ll trade you for the 2017 UCS tie. :v:

When our kids aren't playing with it, we put it on one of our shelves in the room with the LEGO. But we take the kitchen/basement module off the house and put it on the side because it's too deep otherwise. The shelves we have are 4' wide and 10" deep, we have 9 in the room (3 on each wall), and they display various memorabilia and LEGO sets we don't want the kids touching.

The Home Alone house was a family build and probably our second favorite so far (the Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block being our favorite).

With only 3600 pieces the box can’t be that large. Probably taller than it’s wide.

Not a car builder myself but those are snazzy for sure.

I'm not super hyped about that SLS set. Maybe there's some cool features in it, but it seems like a lot of pieces, a lot of space taken up for something that isn't all that cool to look at. Also mostly because I wanted an apollo command module.

Yeah same. It's also too new to really be iconic in the way that the other NASA sets are.
