Lego and ... just Lego really

[jmasterj]

Ninjago City and Pirates of Barracuda Bay have been my favorite builds ever. I have Ninjago City Gardens to build whenever I sell Pirates of Barracuda Bay to make the space.

I know it's none of my business, but I'd push to get many different modular sets that fit with each other, and make a nice street, instead of Ninjagos and haunted houses from different collections. Ninjago apparently saved LEGO from falling sales in the early 2000's but I like the modular collection (like the Jazz Club) so much more.

the wive LOVES the modulars. The Parisien cafe was her first (and what really got her started).. And now she has a whole street under our TV!

She's started a 2nd street off to the side, the Theater & Pool hall

We have the two other big Ninjango city sets in the basement.

We will probably head to Toronto this summer for the big show there! (Covid put a hiatus on shows.. nice to see them coming back!)

that is, be in the show with a few pieces each!

Some of the things I find are too good to be left behind.

Here’s a project from a couple weeks ago.
The Lego Bugatti is just incredible. The gearing, and just overall engineering in general just amazes me what you can do with lego especially in this kit,
I’m happy I got my hands on this one considering it’s retiring soon unfortunately.
The prices are only going up on these I’ve heard. I got mine for a little over $340.00 + shipping which I don’t think is too bad…
In my opinion, it was worth every penny.
I spent one entire weekend on this…I started Friday night and went till Sunday afternoon. It was a rainy weekend anyways so it was well spent.
My thumb was quite sore after handling those 3,599 pieces.
Alright I’ll shut up now.
Here’s some pics…Enjoy…


To be continued…
It only allows me to post 25 files per thread.
Anyways, 6 lbs of Lego later, there’s the somewhat finished product. I’ll post a few more pics below in a separate post…

Thanks for looking!

If I understand correctly, it’s a totally useful scientific/medical experiment, with a few layers of humor.

I have to make space for this somewhere. Getting those roof tiles all aligned is really going to engage my anal retentiveness.

 

[Antares JS]

I'm definitely there. One of my big Lego regrets is missing out on the LotR sets from 10-12 years ago.

Here's some of my current Lego collection. My Lego room is a bit of a mess as I am getting some kits ready to go up on my Bricklink store.

 

[KenECoyote]

Hammer time!

Reach for the stars with the next Ideas set

The 48th LEGO Ideas set will be 21340 Tales of the Space Age which is based on Jan Woznica's project by that passed review in October 2022. Here's the press release:

Contest with no prize. Who can identify this kit?

I’m very surprised at the number of pieces in this kit which will eventually be covered. These are always more complicated than they need to be.

Not quite finished with bag 1.

The colors are those of the Arocs (42043) I had, but I wouldn't remember that specific stage you're at.

[Mushtang]

Ken is correct! And he wins the contest.
The Delorean Time Machine isn’t to the same scale as the mini figures, it’s a lot bigger!!

There’s a lever under it which will rotate the wheels flat for the Part II flying model (which I’m building). It also gives the parts for making the white walled Part III, or the original movie version.

I’ve finished bag 3.

Excited for this one!

FYI to all, the press release says June 1st release but the Lego store website says August 1st. I would think the latter is more trustworthy.

The June 1 date in the press release is the initial release, but it's not available in North America until August 1 like the store indicates. That delay between the rest of the world and us is weird but routine for LEGO in their summer wave. Only unconfirmed explanation I've seen is that it's because major US retailers prefer not to take new catalog items over the height of summer. Either way, it's extra weird for a NASA branded set.

 

[mjennings]

June 1 for Europe and Aug 1 for N American has been pretty common summer release for LEGO for many years now. I've seen @tjkopena explanation a few places. Brickset gave it a good review.

Review: 42158 NASA Mars Perseverance Rover

2023 has been a great year for Technic sets so far and 42158 NASA Mars Perseverance Rover looks to continue that trend, offering a unique and interesting model that should have broad appeal thanks to the enduing interest in space exploration.

[Funkworks]

That set ticks all the boxes. First space-themed Technic set in 25 years I think. I'll definitely look for it on the shelves and make a decision then.
