Not really fair bit thought I would post my stats 



Makes me @5.112 of I am not mistaken.  

I am also a proud member of the 2011 club but then I have been around the internet since the dawn of time and still miss the days of dial-up internet and fall asleep not to the sound of waterfalls or african rainforest but to the tranquil sounds of the hayes modem connection sound.

another 2k11 club member here :)

@VorpalRyu I wasn't sure if you were genuinely sad or not - sometimes difficult to get online.

@bendybadger I was actually thinking you probably have a high ratio and I should look it up ;) the dial-up internet was something else. Been watching old Morses and keep thinking how quickly certain holes in people's alibi's would be discovered of they could just go online.

Back to Lego status, got my r2-d2 ordered and building a bit more of my Slave-I.

Girls gotta looks good whilst building :)

@masterX244 for the stickers!

And they are only for Lego (whatever @bendybadger might think). They even have a fancy pouch too so my stickers are squeaky-clean!

ahh... i only had to use them twice so far, once when some parts fell into a deep inaccessible spot and once on a technic gordian knot

So after a few months of not building anything, just sorting, organising and resorting parts, buying a few sets on sale and making the most of double and triple points on s@h, it's finally here! The time I've been using as the incentive to keep moving around boxes and drawers and bricks and plates, IT'S BUILD MONTH (2 days early).

I have the lot below stored up, 3 day weekend now and a week off later in May.

Someone just TRY to wipe this massive grin off my face!



By the way a few of the boxes are already empty and the parts in other containers.

Wishing I hadn't been encumbered by relatives yesterday so I could have investigated why this guy was out in Frinton rather than just grabbing the shot on the way back to the car...

TheBigLegoski

Enjoying the one set I brought with me, and built over the last couple of nights here in France.

The box of this set is huge, but the five bags and instruction booklet would have easily fit in a €30 set, so I jucked the contents in my luggage, et voila!

Really great set! I haven't applied the stickers yet to the engine nacelles as you can see.

Got my box of Series 17s yesterday :-))

Is that a traffic violation "boot"?

I thought about taking that set with me, but I figured it would take up too much space. So it is still sitting in it's sealed box at home.

I'd prefer a grope if you're offering?

Is anyone else having problems with threads not being marked as read when you've looked at them?

Clearly, no parking a Lego haystack trailer in front of a church.  Read the sign, people!

Meanwhile at Isengard, Orthanc is having its annual dusting...

SumoLego

Lego Store in Disney Springs was a total bust.  No polys, no 2x2 tan tiles, blah!

Unless I decide to do some sort of MOC of Thanos's Bathed-Blood Star-Way, I have no use for 2x2 bright red tiles...

You know you have too much LEGO when you're entire polybag collection is missing?

One of my many chores for this evening is dusting my display...

It's more of an analysis of the volume and protuberances of each enclosed polyurethane receptacle. 

Speedman29

Good LEGO weekend, decided I wasn't gettting any Series 17 CMFs this time.....bought four in Smyths and ended up with six more in Newbury on a 6 for the price of five deal. Managed to get me a Highwayman!



Also nabbed a copy of #3837 Monster 4 game, useful parts supply normally. There are no nice baseplates this time, but loads of scary minifigure heads

Glacierfalls265

Is anyone else having this problem? When I get on the forum, and I go to my "Participated Discussions" tab, it shows all the discussions but has stopped updating them with the _ New yellow thing. Instead I can see that there are new comments on threads in the main home page. Is it a glitch or just me? :(

Shib

@Speedman29 - where in Newbury was that offer on minifigures?

nevermind just seen on other thread t was Camp Hopson

Speedman29

@Shib yep, Camp Hopson. Apparently its only the second series of CMF they've sold after Batman that they've been able to offer the cards. Not seen it before, business card sized with space for five minifigure shaped stickers and contact details on the back, wasn't allowed to keep it as they have to send them on. Stand with four or five boxes was next to the till in the toy dept.

VorpalRyu

@Glacierfalls265, not alone, I've already reported it, but you might want to just mention it here (http://bricksetforum.com/discussion/26323/forum-not-recognising-threads-as-read), seems to be a bug exclusive to the Participated Discussions page. Tested it with Firefox, Opera & Vivaldi, all are affected, haven't checked IE or Chrome.

Boba is saying arrividerci to Tattooine after he dropped off Han. It was a great build!

I have that to build too, but the pieces have been mixed, so I'm a little gunshy about getting started.

My oldest son loves everything about LEGO...except minifigure capes. (It looks like a pizza party for the Fraggles.)

Finally got my hands on some Series 17 minifigs. I think I have 14 out of the 16 so far. I will open some bags later today and post some instagram photos

Looking at a big pile of unopened lego. :)

Peter1975

Today I can add #0016 to my collection. Happy.

The chocolate mold has took some beating. I tired it before and miserable failed 

nexander

^ its tricky. Ive never been comfortable moulding chocolate but have found my stride. Still thinking of doing a giant (hollow) chocolate minifig using the cake mould

Working on a bunch of Nexo Knights reviews to post later in the month. Typing them up first on the computer and then going over them makes sure there's no issues or lost reviews like my Arkham Asylum one. I really need to get rid of that old review and put up the replacement I finished for it.

tallblocktoo

@Yodalicious  I have a few more pizzas to add to that pile.  I do apply some capes but not all.

KingAlanI

finally got around to shopping on BL for parts needed to finish my chess set - 8 blue slope inverted 45 2x2 double convex [3676]. that part is rare in blue - $2 or $3 and I'm lucky to see 4 at a time. in black it's less than 30c and available 8 at a time. I even have all the other black pieces in my personal stockpile, and 1 3676. organized those areas of my stockpile a bit. the sellers with 3676 also have several other parts I want; I suppose many Bricksetters are familiar with how that goes. Not done shopping but ready for bed.

@vizzitor so you planned a massive backlog? usually those happen by accident. :) I also end up opening and repackaging before I get to building. I am waiting for this weekend to work on a huge set.

I've avoided the LEGO ice cube tray or cake mold because I don't need more kitchen gadgets and I alreayd spend more than enoguh on actual LEGO.

Speedman29

Not LEGO as such, but during a wander round Newbury on BH Monday. We popped into the Wilkinsons on the high street. They had a few Blox's sets on the shelf and this....



...Blox Pick a Brick!

Yeah, "planned". It was definitely all planned down to the smallest detail.

Or else just started taking apart some sets just after Christmas, began organising a small number of parts, which became most of my collection, which then turned into buying more drawers and boxes and reorganising absolutely everything but only at weekends. All the while, I was taking advantage of some really good offers in various shops and online.

Hope you enjoy your weekend of building. I've only built a handful of the sets in the picture so far but it really makes up for the months of self-imposed exile!

Been doing that for ages @Speedman29. Used to be £3.50. Gone up!! Wilkos is getting sooo expensive these days!!

I think not.   Where's #4002016 - 50 Years on the Track?   Poor.  Very poor.

Alright, an updated photo.

(And yes, I'm short one display case for S16.)

And the single most disturbing minifigure ever.

Russell844

^ Are those yellow cardboard store display thingamabobs on the left?

SumoLego

Um... they might be discarded TRU Make-and-Take Event sorting trays for pieces.

(Frankly, I think it makes it look cluttered.)

Russell844

I like them. I have a couple cardboard displays but they are bigger like shelving.

Finally done with Assembly Square!

I must admit that while I'm not truly satisfied with my little modification, this was a fulfilling and satisfying build. It still needs some work on the entrance to the upper cafe floors and the tiling on the sidewalk and plaza needs a lot of improvements (I didn't expect to have enough grey tiles to cover it), but once you start populating your city, those things become secondary. 

Now, if only I could find a better paying job so that I can get the other modulars...
