In UK news, the South East of England has had a delightful snow fall this morning, which can only mean one thing.....

Hopefully Han finds Luke soon... I’d hate for him to have to slice open that poor Tauntaun to stay warm...

I got a guy in Porsche that can handle that.  And he'll probably take out a communication array or two.

I don't really want to have to cut one open. I've heard they have a whiff about them inside thats even worse than outside!

Your Tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker.

We're all such dorks.  (Proud of it - mind you, but we're all such dorks.)

BTW, I yell this every time I go to shovel the driveway in my pajamas.

Spent the last few weeks catching up with all the MCU films I've missed since GOTG2
This put me in the mood to build #76165 - Iron Man. The helmet line is fast becoming one of my favourites as they make great display pieces. Put Iron Man next to the Stormtrooper and because of all the MCU watching, couldn't resist doing this.

Blessed to be able to use Brickset, and have friends here! May God bless you all! What? That's not a LEGO status? Give me a few seconds...And... Now it just needs microscale animals, two by two. Even the stinky ones.

I am trying really hard not to click on the Part 2 of the Brickset Ninjago Gardens review. Mine is showing up Wednesday or Thursday and I like to discover the surprises and building techniques as I go through it myself. I also really want to read the article and stare at the pictures.

I think that's a good idea! Save the surprises for the build.

I finished building the main build (not the side garden) last night. Honestly, it was such an incredible building experience. I took my time to enjoy building each section, and enjoying the part usage (lots of smaller parts, angles, techniques and inventive uses of pieces). I am actually mourning finishing the build. Its not often I feel like that.....

Enjoy the build once your set arrives!

I know what you mean. I love the detailed reviews but also like to discover things myself. If I'm buying quite close to release I'll not look at the review too much but since for this one I'll wait for a deal, I had a read and stare :) 

Hope it will be with you soon & enjoy!

Finally building #75932. Agreed with my son to make a JP display now we're tidying up the Winter village.

Sorting the first of four BL orders that I placed late last week and amazingly arrived this morning. Very impressed with the seller and the PO.

Looking for assistance from the collective. I saw possibly on the forum or somewhere else on the web, a really cool mosaic in an Andy Warhol style of Storm Trooper helmets. Used the same colours as the Marilyn Monroe LEGO version. My Google Fu is weak tonight and I fancy something new to hang on the wall if budget allows.

My wife is gonna kill me if I get many more packages. I got 14 Bricklink orders today. 

I have only two packages left that I'm waiting on, so at least I don't have to worry much . . . until my next build (which is already done and ready to order).

Lol. The same for my wife. Lego keeps coming, but it doesn`t help that Lego shop and amazon split orders when shipping so one order with 4 sets can come in 4 separate packages! I tried to plead my case!

Thanks, hadn't realised it was quite so far back.
In exciting news, got an email from DPD, my [email protected] order is out for delivery today. Got new 2021 sets to build later

Very excited. I’m going to stare at the box for a while.

Finished #42054 over the weekend...

Speedman29 said:

Such a fun build the CLAAS, it was my Christmas present in 2016, the triple steering system is brilliant.You never realise sometimes how big these things are when you build them in bricks, but in the summer of 2016 we visited a countryshow which had a tractor display on. Little Miss Speedy for scale in the rear tyre

I agree about the triple steering— pretty ingenious engineering!  According to your pic my minifig may be a bit smaller than the correct scale, but it does give an idea of how large both the Lego version and the real version are...

January has been generous, deliveries on time, and I need more space because the dining table just doesn't work in the long term.

The amount of plastic for the bags in #71741 is rather hefty, it could be repurposed as a pillow:

When I picked up Creator #31118 at my favorite toy store I was nicely surprised with a gift of the child (the pile in the background is #10278 ):

In terms of my own enjoyment January has gotten off to a rockin' start!

I wish all Bricksetters good health and joy. Although not particularly active on the forums I want to thank all of you for creating this wonderful place (and of course @HUW and all the admins for giving us this space)

What a long strange trip it is ;-)

Speedman29

@KungFuKenny the shelf with my Claas on is next to be emptied, dusted and rearranged. You've made me want to have a play with it now, it really is a chunky monkey!
Little Miss Speedy had a Zoom Brownies meeting this evening, I was parent on duty so decided to build #60305 that arrived this morning. Its a perfect fit in my modular street and allows three Speed Champion MOCs to be displayed as well

Yup, I wouldn't wager a bet that you couldn't!

Have you managed to find some original vinyl records? Or did you go for the collection?

My LEGO status.... dust, wash, bag up sets, pack away in the original boxes, make space for new sets.

I need help, does anybody have a spare Green Brick Costume Guy, Fred or George they would be willing to trade?

I have many Series 20, DC and HP duplicates, most of which are documented in my collection of CMF over on Brickset. Some are not.

Spare DC includes Aquaman, Flash, The Joker... I think a Superman, I haven't opened it so I'm not sure if my feel method is correct and one or two others I can't recall off the top of my head.

I am tired of having incomplete sets for 2020, and I am tired of buying 10 Minifigures and getting 3 Professor Sprouts in a single purchase.

If someone, preferably in Canada to avoid lengthy postal delays, could help me out I would be ever so grateful.

My LEGO Status currently is frustrated and in need of a good hug.

I have a spare Fred... I also did a quick Bricklink wanted list with those three figs... there is one Canadian seller with all 3 but they are pricey.  For half the price there is a US seller with all 3... I’ll PM you the info...

piratemania7

 The silver lining here is that I was planning on building this one anyway.  Plus it’s a great set that’s hard to come by right now #80107 so glad I at least have it but gosh. They (FedEx) must have just tossed something real heavy right on top.  Also - I’ve noticed the packaging sometimes is less than ideal and I would expect better from TLG - alas, time to build now!

Finally found some of the series 21 CMFs after a month of looking/waiting.

Ninjago Gardens finally arrived. Lego.de shipped it double boxed with the shipping container and it is perfect! I can't believe how heavy it is.

Charmiefcb

Mine was in the shipping container as well. Maybe they only had 1 per box. I've also had the worst luck with the new minifigure series. Never had that many doubles. I don't buy them to get a full set just a few for a it of fun and secondly it would be down to there being less figures this series. First 2. Plane girl and violin boy. Next 2 bought a few days later. Plane girl and violin boy. Next 2, Tom Hanks in Cast Away and Terence Stamp in Priscilla Queen Of The Desert. Next 2 Alien bug thing X2 and the last one I got was the riot police officer.

Speedman29

Snap @Gibbo1959 my parcel of CMF 21s arrived this morning as well. Also the final order from BL to build my next train wagon. Wet afternoon building is go!

Coz I hardly ever read set reviews, I didn't realise the boat had a mechanism to twirl the paddles round and push the funnels up and down - very cool :-)

Thank you for the quick and easy purchase @sirrich69 ! Don't they look great?

Opened the first of CMF21 packs today. We're spreading out the builds over a few days. I think I need to add the hermit crab to my every colour crab display now!

A bonus internet point if you can identify the background to the singer!

I’m catching up on Technic builds I missed out on from years past, and finished up #42009 recently...I’m definitely impressed by it’s size and functionality...

and I’m having quite a bit of fun seeing what it can lift !

Technic cranes are the absolute best.  I like Technic, but I will definitely find myself going long stretches between purchases... usually until a new crane of some kind comes out.  I can't explain it, but it just feels like Technic was made for cranes.  (And cranes were made for Technic.)

Finished building my next MoC. Just working on photographs now.

Just finished my 1:1 Scale LEGO inspired Lightsaber today. Made from Aluminum (it's heavy) and powdercoated in Black Chrome.

Trying to convince myself I don't really need all of the Ninjago "The Island" wave. #71748 is definite, and I want examples of all the baddies, so #71746 too. But of course I need #71747- how could I get The Islanders but not their island? Then only #71745 is left, and it's only $20...
