Popular Post gregpj Posted March 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2017 The set has been built for a while but we had an acrylic case (no bottom) made for it and the Tower Bridge. I know the plastic is still on... leaving it until it finds a home in our LEGO room. If anyone is curious, it's 1/8" acrylic made locally to my exact measurements. Big Ben's was just $50 and TB was $70 and they made them in three days after I paid. (Canadian funds so around $2 US ) 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uaford Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 My son was sick today (though not too badly) so in between work calls we built the Imperial Assault Hovertank 75152 together. He has a few Lego sets that he got as presents that he has been waiting to build with no sisterly help, so today was a perfect day for it in his mind. Not a great set from my point of view, but nice playability for him and decent minifigs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HandyHand Posted March 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2017 To celebrate my recent (early March) birthday I got the Detective's Office, which I finished last week. Put it next to last year's birthday present, the Parisian Restaurant, and took these photos 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kd123 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Great birthday presents. The Parisian restaurant is my favourite modular building. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alpinemaps Posted March 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2017 My son and I built one of his birthday presents, 76059 Doc Ock's Tentacle Trap. It will go great with the Battle Bridge. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lego rules Posted March 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2017 This MOC is designed by BaronSat and is basically a proper Rancor pit / base for the Jabba's Palace. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lego rules Posted March 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2017 Had built this a few weeks ago and finally applied the stickers. Designed by Bruno Jenson, instructions by Thorsten and professional stickers by Jaap Technic. More info can be found on rebrickable and Eurobricks. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at him more closely.... he's got white arms, which implies a white shirt. He's got his pirate garb vest on over top of that white shirt. I'm inclined to think the misprint is on the box, not the minifigure. Just an opinion, but I think it makes sense. yes it's actually a factory flaw,. here is the reference picture to give you better idea.

Popular Post Vader888 Posted March 26, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hesitated to crack open this new sealed set, but had the itch to build something to add to the street. Large set, but build was very basic. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I actually got it on Ebay for $110 used/complete and separated into bags plus 10% eBay bucks. I saw your post about selling one on BC with a stale price listed, and I had bought this one off of eBay the day before. I typically stalk cheap sets on eBay using alerts and stick with used/complete for sets that we are going to build to sidestep the retired/NIB premium. She has finished 8 out of the 9 bags now, and she has been very impressed with the set. Also seems like it has a lot of swooshability as my son has already commandeered the unfinished set to play with (much to my daughter's chagrin).

I've rebuilt 7676 many times, but our 75021 has held together very well, by comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoroakenfelder Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I finally found the last parts I needed for 7259 ARC-170 fighter.

Popular Post Cheese Posted March 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2017 Having pretty much exhausted my backlog of retired UCS sets I now need to turn to the current sets to continue building out my collection. I have to say despite the number of stickers this is a great build and looks great and I think this will do ok post retirement. Only time will tell. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarleyMoose Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I was down in Florida visiting friends. I bring all the kids Lego. My buddy's kid Lincoln was supposed to build this T-Rex Tracker I brought him but I ended up doing 99% of it while he watched and played with the figures and T-Rex. He did only turn 5 a few months ago. He's on a Jurrassic World kick lately. He was looking for Indominus Rex Breakout next. I tried to explain JW Lego was retired. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this ship/set looks great and really should build mine instead of having it sat in the box. Only thing stopping me is not wanting to move built sets when I move house but I dont think this one will wait much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vader888 Posted April 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2017 Just finished building this set. Bought it today mainly for the free beetle. Build was okay I guess, nothing special. My favourite part was how the front windows snapped in. Had quite a few spare parts, so hopefully I didn'tmiss something. It costs $100cad, which in my opinion is overpriced for this small set. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
