What's your LEGO 'status' today?

AdeelZubair

I watched Thor The Dark World it was great I give it a 9/10, I realised why Lego decided not to make sets based on the movie as it has scenes which are scary and gory for children but it is filled with twists and turns.

We're off to a wedding tomorrow and the bride has suggested that my CFOL brings some Lego to keep him entertained in the evening. When I asked my wife if I could bring some as well, I was told NO! lol

On the first picture you may be able to see the couple of brown arches I used rather than reddish brown.

@alijoezac- Looks absolutely fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

klatu003

@alijoezac- Fabulous. The other brown works. I stll have a long way to go sourcing parts.

HarryPotterLover

@alijoezac Amazing! Always love seeing work in progress pics! Makes me think about doing this myself being I MIGHT actually have enough of the pieces to get it started!

AdeelZubair

Meh, The Lego Movie and Disney Princess sets seem to be amazing, DC Comics, City, Chima, Hero Factory, Ninjago still disappoint. I'm waiting to see the Super Heroes sets based off upcoming 2014 movies, and more Minecraft Micro World sets please!

Legobutterfly

Has taken delivery of 3 LEGO deliveries today for Christmas, 2 yesterday and 1 or 2 more expected next week.

Some may say I need help, but I say no I just need more space for storage ;-)

AFFOL_Shellz_Bellz

@Legobutterfly, would you adopt me please?

Legobutterfly

@AFFOL_Shellz_Bellz, sure thing just let me know when you'll be over

Basta

Did a bit of reorganising today and found these long lost sets in the shed.







Haven't built any of them yet, but nice to add them to my Brickset collection.

Washing pieces of #4954, anxious to be able to build it! 2007 set and we paid only $20 over RRP!

brickedin

Status is birthday boy. My present..... Being left alone to build whatever I like. Question is do I push it and crack open the haunted house I picked up yesterday.

Yes. That is exactly what you do! Happy Birthday

AdeelZubair

Dear Lego, Could I come Denmark and help you to design Lego Minecraft sets, I have many ideas in my chest!!

Legobutterfly

Is enjoying my oldest sons 6th birthday today and helping him build his daily bugle, light temple and other kits it almost feels like my birthday as well being allowed to help him :-)

rancorbait

Anxiously awaiting my Amazon order, that being #75019, two clone lieutenants and two Lego shop minifigure polybags :-) I'm hoping I can build the motorized AT-TE that @CapnRex101 and I designed over the summer.

Oh, and the LDD file for the AT-TE is available to anyone who is interested (at no charge :-P )

Hob

At lego land windsor hotel in pirate room, it's so cool. My boy got 2 polybags.

Legoboy

Getting frustrated.

I am finally stacking my shelving (have been all day) and it's proving difficult to work out the best angle of attack. I must have swapped stuff around half a dozen times in an attempt to make best use of the space.

I remember seeing @atkinsar's storage solution a few months ago and the look on his face when I asked how tedious it was. He wasn't wrong!

Legoboy

.....and I have Toy Story why?

atkinsar

Ha ha, stick with it J, it's like a jigsaw you can put together in any order. You start one way and it's all going great, then you get to a size of box that just doesn't fit and back to the start you go.

I was mainly cursing Lego's box design department, who seemed to take great delight in developing 397 different shapes and sizes of box. Just one more reason to crack them all open really.

AFFOL_Shellz_Bellz

Beginners Luck as hubby was in TRU to take advantage of the sale today he grabbed two series 11 minifigs without feeling the packages! They were marked 2 for $5. He got the Elf and the Gingerbread Man, Those are my favs from the series. I had bought both off BL minus their base and accessories. He also picked up the lawnmower poly bag. His original reason for going was to get #42000 and #3185.

markarm919

I hope I was early enough to get in on the Lego Inside Tour.

Goldchains

Purchased the Back to the Future set. Great box and instruction booklet. The car itself is a little meh, but good enough nonetheless. Pretty happy with it considering I only paid $20(used some of my VIP points lol).

bricktuary

I built my first Hero Factory set!
(I did not like it at all. It will be my last... back to 'proper' Lego for me)

bricktuary

PS Shellz Bellz - 4954 is TOP of my current wish-list. I hope the build is good. I'm still checking eBay (UK) regularly for sensible prices....

Bosstone100

^ Most I will go on 4954 is $90. That's 50% over retail, which should be good enough for a used set. Everyone I've seen is overpriced.

AFFOL_Shellz_Bellz

@bricktuary It's definitely not on par with the modulars as a build in my opinion, but it didn't cost me as much either. It's a great start if one wanted to change it into a modular!

@Bosstone100 at $90 US it's actually only about 28% (RRP $69.99) over retail and it came out in '06 though I don't know when it EOL'd. In it's favor it is a 3 in 1 which for me is a bonus, and it's one of the few that could be placed next to a modular and not look terribly out of place. I'm thinking of turning it into an engineer's or lawyer's office by adding a sign as though a house has been repurposed into an office as is common in downtown areas here.

chromedigi

Floxed and angry. Trying to recover to the point where I can sit without pain. Don't trust the medical quack community: Cipro (and every other fluoroquinolone) is poison!

Bosstone100

@AFFOL_Shellz_Bellz : You are correct. It was $70 and not $60. In that case, I might go $100 plus shipping. It's a nice set and I'd like to have it but at a certain point, you have to decide whether it's worth spending more to get less or putting the money towards something that is currently selling at retail or less new.

Meiko

I started designing my first actual Castle MOC recently, and am going to begin building it in real life soon!

AFFOL_Shellz_Bellz

@Bosstone100 I agree 100%, short of having a warehouse size building and an unlimited amount of funds (please Santa - LOL) we each make choices. Would love to turn this into a true modular.

khmellymel

Mine is: Finding that box of unopened polys really useful. Been cracking one open every few hours when I need a look away from essay and dissertation writing. Each poly only takes a few minutes to build, play around with and set up on my desk. Perfect amount of break!

Hob

Happy to have picked up 3 pumpkins, red, gold tree decs, birthday set, Lego Windsor picture frame (not in database at the moment) and keyrings.

FrictionPin

Just built the Winter Toy Shop that my daughter had tucked away. Soooo, that made me jump on a order for the last 2 sets I need in that series. The Winter Post Office and Bakery. I can't wait for them to arrive, it's like....Christmas! {girly scream}

Legoboy

Not happy. My son is currently flicking through the catalogue. He has just said to me, "I know it's girlie, but I want one of these". He walked over to me with his finger firmly planted on the Dolphin Cruiser.

I'm sure Genesis sung a song that would be appropriate right now. ;-)

Jenni

^ bahaha, and you thought my daughter would be a good influence. I tried to warn you about her :)

SirKevbags

@Legoboy I've been telling you for months. Everyone needs a Dolphin Cruiser!

Thanos75

The cruiser is a great set. I bought two. One for my daughter and one for me to modify to one that would better fit in to my city. I bought it at the same time as the new Coast Guard cutter and when my daughter is playing with the cruiser the Coast Guard keep interupting her fun to do inspections.

BrickDancer

@Legoboy its true, your boy has good taste because the Dolphin Cruiser is a great set. I was more excited to build it than my gf even!

Legoboy

Put simply, it ain't gonna happen.

Basta

@Legoboy The Dolphin Cruiser is the only Friends set to interest me so far, I didn't like the colours though.



I was going to order some more parts today to finish it off, but as I bought myself the Red Cargo train last night this will have to wait.

Legoboy

@Basta

Mate, I love boats as much as the next guy, but I can't imagine owning even a 'standard' cruiser for Cheryl and Stacey to clamber over. Actually, maybe it would be alright. Maybe they could fall-off overboard or something. Does it have propellers? How big?

legonut80

Getting really worried about the space in the bedroom now, baby number 4 is due in January and where the baby will sleep is a large pile of boxes that overflows from the wardrobe.

margot

Going to a 6 hour Mindstorms class at my son's school. Parents of kids who are excelling in STEM were supposed to be invited but I got an invite because everyone knows I love Lego and they had extra openings to fill. (now if I could just figure out how to get a VIP shopping invite...)

Plell

I had planned to avoid spoilers so I could walk into the LEGO Store in January and be surprised, but somehow I seem to have become, well, employed there. So much for that plan. How y'all been?

margot

I graduated!

Legoboy

Congratulations Professor M. :oD

SirKevbags

Such a busy LEGO day. First club meeting which was great fun. A few orders placed for Fairy Bricks. Sorting donated sets that have already started arriving. Securing a Duplo monkey. Chuckling as @Legoboy tries to convince me he is worthy of his own version of New Yankee Workshop ;-)
