Hey LeGoons, I recently got back into lego model making having not properly used it for a long while. I found someone on EBay who was selling the Lego Architecture Studio set for a reasonable amount. It was an impulse purchase, but it turned out to work out really well when I made a few models of houses we had designed in the office. I still have to sell a set onto a client, but most weekends I put together a model or two and see how the materials look. Sets I've picked up so far:
I hope to post up some pictures when I can. I've been having a great time reading through the thread.

Here's a bad photo of the Overwatch models I picked up earlier in the week. The limited posing you can do with Reinhardt and DVa is a bit annoying, but they were fun to build and have a lot of useful pieces for future models. Bastion was a beast though, so many ball sockets. The transformation to Turret mode needs some work though, it felt really unbalanced.

Just passed by a pop up church operating out of an old clothes store. It had a poster looking for Lego Master builders for making lego bible scenes... It's spreading!

ElwoodCuse posted:For a month with cool stuff coming out there's a serious lack of spend xx get yy promos. Definitely gonna wait a while before picking up anything I ordered a bunch of spare parts from the Pick a Brick section and got the promotional Pelican Creator set. Weirdly they came separate - so I was freaking out when a large Lego box arrived with only the small pelican... They were coming from separate countries but I was terrified that some stole my lego!

I came home to discover that Lego had sent me a duplicate set of my previous Pick a Brick order. Free Lego is good Lego I guess, but I sent them an email through as they didn't charge and the website lists the 2nd order as Cancelled / Delivered...

If Terry Cruz was so famous, he would have been in Overwatch or Saints Row, instead of Crackdown 3. Looks pretty washed up to me.  Back to Lego stuff, I got the Statue of Liberty set, a great looking build that'll keep me in tan blocks for a while.

Went looking for potential gifts for my year old niece and proceeded to get lost in the Lego section, they had a bunch of Creator sets that were discontinued and I had to pull myself away.

I got a Falling Water set from eBay recently that had some dusty blocks and cat hair. I used some dish wash and water to clean up the bricks and rebuilt it once dried.

Fallingwater is painless compared to stuff like Capital Building with all it's weird sideways glass and single blocks.

Waltzing Along posted:The crescent space station? Lackluster? I'm going to disagree and say it was the most impressive thing built so far. The thing was gorgeous. The train tracks with more lego stuck to it looked bad to me, can't put my finger on why. But the hexagon structural elements did look nice. But the Newly Weds did it for me visually and structurally.

I'm kind of pissed that the preview for next weeks episode showed way too much... But the latest episode made for good background noise while I sorted out my own Lego boxes.

I can understand the whole Tell a Story bit, it's to stop contestants going overboard and just building to their strengths. I think every team so far are well capable of creating amazing builds, but creating builds with a theme a young kid can understand is very important. As for the Lord and Miller mash up of genres, that was a bit chaotic, but I can understand they they didn't just give everyone complimentary genres like Thriller and Fantasy. Also it led to two sharks in love and I can't hate that. I managed to sort some more boxes last night, man do I have way too much sandstone lego. I might need more boxes just to keep that stuff in check. Right now I'm purely sorting by colour, but if it becomes too hectic, I'll try to divide those up a bit more. On the plus side, a Client of ours wants his lego house model and I've made the manual up and packaged the bricks.

OSU_Matthew posted:Sorry if this is a stupid newbie question, but do you bespoke lego? I make models out of most of our designs and we show them off to Clients. This one wanted to buy it off of me, so I made up an instruction manual and priced up the model for him. Roof top pieces were painfully expensive though.

Snowmankilla posted:I didn’t even know that was out. Fun build? I want a smaller pirate ship to add to my ship in a bottle shelf. It's a decent size for the pirate ship, great part usage and some fun techniques. You build the shark instead of having the old lego shark model. Plus have the cannons fire takes me back. The tavern hideout is also a good build, with the planks from the ship being used to form the roof. The waterwheel and ivy are a nice touch. Still have the Skull Island to build, but I'm most hyped for that one. All in all great value for the €100 I got it for. Plus it has a bunch of unique parts I can use for other models.

Hopefully none of the money from the minifigs goes to Rowling.  I just finished the Fast & Furious Dodge Charger. It's been a long time since I messed with Technic and boy this things a beast. A lot of fun part usage though and I could see it making an awesome robot with some extra parts.

You order the gold coins... Finally, you can add them to your collection. They come to the door, you carefully open the packaging. But you don't notice the tiny hole forming in the bottom of the bag. All at once, they spray forth from the bag, you try to stop it but only catch one or two. Your floor is a minefield of tiny, shiny coins that you now have to spend the evening sweeping up and hoping you find them all. You never do. Thank you for listening to my spooky tale of terror.

Frozen Peach posted:Debating what to put together next. I have several unbuilt sets... The Overwatch sets are nice and satisfying to build, I have the large scale Bastion (I bought a second one because it was marked down recently) and the Dva / Reinhardt set and the colour and parts usage are really satisfying. But yeah, the NES should be first.

In the spirit of posting about sets you bought, I tried ordering the Halloween set over the weekend and met with an error. I checked my Credit card / Paypal and everything seemed fine, so I tried again. It worked the second time, but then got two rapid emails showing both orders. So now I'm going to have to try call Lego / email them as soon as possible to see if I'm getting charged twice / two sets are getting sent out to me.

I have carried out a massive reorganization session and now have freed up a couple of shelves. I could probably fix 3 rows of 3 Base plates, so I will plan out a fun little town / village street scape and go from there.
