  1. Thanks for that, I just (seemingly out of nowhere) started laughing out loud at work. Luckily, people won't think I'm crazy, they already know I am.
  2. I finally nabbed a deal on the Disney Castle (used/complete) and I picked up 7 of the new Looney Tunes CMF.
  3. Amidst other projects I have been building Barracuda Bay finally along with 'watching/listening' to different pirate theme'd media, watched all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies etc.
  4. So happy that you added the third exhaust pipe to each side! This looks great! I will have to finally build mine when I get home so I can fully see all the changes but the exhaust was the first thing I wanted to modify. LEGO 76005 Super Heroes Spider-Cycle Chase (is the green car ) -or- LEGO 76077 Super Heroes Iron Man: Detroit Steel Strikes (is the red corvette "Lola")
  5. Truly exquisite details. As mentioned, the scale is great giving a grand feeling. Even an ominous or intimidating feeling if one had less than honorable intentions. I think the ratio of color usage is what makes your path so real looking. By consistently only using the 1x1 LBG corner tile and occasional 1x1 green round tile it looks more natural among the DBG pieces of varying size. This could be said of the whole thing. Your ratio of accent color to main color really adds detail without being too frequent. MOCs like this inspire me (and many others I am sure!) Keep up the great work!
  6. Threw together some classic road plates and made a house/garage for my sons Paw Patrol guys. Spoiler alert! If you have NOT completed Mandalorian Season 2, then STOP reading (and go watch it lol) . . . . Built Trouble on Tatooine and the Mandalorian Battle Pack and an impomptu "Razor Crest MOC" [read crater in the sand] And the Thor mech. I have had many sets waiting to be built and now I'm on leave for 3 weeks so open the floodgates! 😅
  7. Picked up a pick a brick cup [Lego employee use a scoop to try to fill it to your wishes] I was having it filled left over parts from the mixed bin and was thrilled to see many studs (1x1 plate, round) in soft yellow which I needed for an incomplete Star Wars Art set.
  8. I've begun the arduous task of raising all my modular builds by 1 brick for ease-of-use. I was planning to do this but the trial and error [read excessive experimenting] with the new road plates really made me green light the project. So far I love the look of the end product. 76173 Spider-Man, Ghost Rider with car and Carnage, ironically while watching s04:e01 of Agents of Shield. I must have subconsciously remembered that is when Ghost Rider appears in the series.

  10. 75299 Trouble on Tatooine - Grabbed a mispriced one for $20
  11. Thank you! It just seemed like a good companion thread opposite "What did you buy today?" For myself the thrill of the hunt for a great deal on a set is one part, and then sitting down to build is the larger amount of time. I.e. tonight I should finish the Gardens, and it will be my 8th evening working on it. This is fun! I can hear the Roadrunner's "Meep meep" as he runs away into the distance.
  12. As simple as it sounds, what did you build today? You can be as vague or specific as you like. This is just for fun. Did you spend the evening creating, tearing down, and recreating a small part in your MOC? (i.e. archway, tree, etc) Did you build the Modular/ UCS/ desirable set that you finally acquired but had not yet built? Did you spend the day just sorting bricks? Are you planning/designing/drawing your next build? Creating a new set in Lego Digital Designer or stud.io? ========================================================================================= To start it off: I worked on 71741 Ninjago City Gardens, for the 5th evening and finished the 2nd (of 3) instruction book.
  13. I guess we will anxiously wait for you to receive yours and let us know!
  14. 60286 - City Beach Rescue - my 3yr old has figured out I say "Yes" more often when he asks for Lego compared to other toys.

  16. Same here, I think I got 1 with each of my two in-store purchases. I believe my invoice shows 1 on each of my two online purchases but won't know for sure until I receive those. ON TOPIC: I finished building my 10278 last night and naturally I want to replicate some features to other buildings, possibly expand it or add another floor. I see in stock currently, the 70681 - Brick 1×3, Outside Half Arch, W/Cutout in tan and gray are back in today. Yesterday it said sold out when I checked. I'm hoping to catch the 38585 Window Arch corners whenever they are restocked. Those would really dress up my small bank. The Soap n Suds and newspaper tiles are priced $0.00 which is too bad, I would love to have a couple extras of those to spread around town.
  17. My haul for the weekend is pretty ridiculous, especially with multiples of some sets. I placed a couple orders on LegoDOTcom to make sure I would get things and then went to the Lego Store and several Target stores in the metro area. 10278 Police Station 11010 White Baseplate 75299 Trouble on Tatooine 40448 Vintage Car 76169 Thor Mech Armor 76171 Miles Morales Mech 76173 Spider-Man and Ghost Rider vs Carnage 76174 Spider-Man's Monster Truck vs. Mysterio 60304 Road Plates 60290 City Skate Park 60281 Fire Rescue Chopper 60282 Fire Command Unit 60285 City Sports Car 40375 xtra sports accessories 42118 Technic: Monster Jam Grave Digger 42119 Technic: Monster Jam Max-D 42123 Technic: McLaren Senna GTR 71735 Ninjago: Tournament of Elements 71713 Ninjago: Empire Dragon Whew I think that's all of them.
  18. 76168 Marvel Avengers Classic Captain America Mech Armor Series 21 Minifigures - I got all of them except the Ladybug costume!
  19. It was just available the other day when I checked.,. Available now MINI UPPER PART, NO. 5206 Element . . . . 6310548 Design Number . . . . 76382 Unit Price . . . . . USD 0.76
  20. October BnP order Arrives I received this order from end of October, and then a week later, I received my 8 reindeer that I ordered Nov. 26th. Christmas is saved, Santa has all his reindeer! [Picture to come soon]
  21. When people talk about U.S retail releases, do they mean outside of the Lego stores? I know the Lego store here (Minnesota) has carried them since release/re-opening from pandemic shutdown.
  22. 31104 Creator 3in1 Monster Burger Truck 40291 Creative Storybook Hans Christian Andersen 30464 El Fuego's Stunt Canon
  23. Are there other mispriced gold parts? and if so what are their numbers?
  24. I love it! First thing I noticed, the dice used as a shipping container with the Ice Planet tiles! Smooth integration of newer pieces, especially trans-orange pieces. Very clean!
