The Daily Bugle set has been sitting in our dining room, taunting me for several weeks, so I cracked it open last week, but was too tired to start building it until Friday night. I’m taking my time and basically opening up one “bag” at a time. Every new bag set has a cool “Easter egg” in it. From the various DB newspaper bricks with different headlines on them, to seeing actual Daredevil and Punisher mini figs. I was slightly bummed the elevator was just a facade and not a real working elevator, but I realize with a set this chock full of play elements, they couldn’t do everything. It’s shaping up quite nicely and I’m still on the ground floor.

My wife bought me the Imperial Probe Droid and an Imperial Shuttle polybag for Christmas. The Probe Droid is 683 pieces, so it is the biggest set I've put together in a long time.

I got the new Boba Fett’s Starship, the Prisoners-with-Jobs 1, Slave-1 set.
Is this like the seventh or eighth version they’ve done over the years? I have the OG version from like 2000 or whatever also. In a box. Somewhere.

My GF got Bowser’s Airship from the Mario line and made a “cloud” suspended with fishing line to display it.

I finally opened the Sesame Street set I got way back in Nov 2020. It was sitting in a pile of stuff in the basement after the move. Gonna take a few days to build it. I could build it in one night, but I’m gonna stretch it out.

May the 4th be with you! I ordered the Trash Compactor diorama, the Trench Run diorama, and a battlepack of Snowtroopers to get me the freebs; a Tattooine kitchen set with Aunt Beru, an AT-ST, and a slab of beskar keychain.

My wife bought me the Snowtroopers for my birthday. While its kind of cool, it isn't a particularly interesting set. I wouldn't have bought it for myself.

Her birthday and Mother's day are coming up. I might get her the Creator tropical fish tank, orchid, or the bouquet of flowers. I bought her the Lego bonsai for Christmas.

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is a SPACESHIP!

[Tom Foolery]

There’s too many cool new sets I want coming out. The last space wave with the moon bases and the launch set, two new train sets plus the train station, and the new Loop Roller Coaster. Gonna be an expensive summer.

I think I'm down for the classic spaceship set. I read somewhere it builds 150 percent bigger than the biggest classic version, but that you'll get the parts & specs to build all the classic ships as well? Man I loved those.

holy shit, classic space ship??? awesome! and a 'modular building' Sanctum Sanctorum!
