Lego building as a hobby

Good luck finding all of the pieces to try rebuilding it. It's amazing how Lego pieces can be dropped and seemingly disappear into the netherworld.

Finally finished the Saints helmet. These BRXLZ sets are a challenge, mainly because their instruction illustrations are a bit tough to make out. At least, that was the case with the helmet colors on this one.

Couldn’t afford the 8-bit version, so had to settle for the 4-bit?

It's the only one I know of out there. Not the best quality, I know, but I'm still glad to have it.

I would hate to clean that up.

you know their feet will be finding parts for years to come.

They are on the smaller side. Manageable, but a pain in the butt at times. The alignment of pieces can also be a pain at times. You can see from my pictures that the fit is not always as clean as Lego sets. Still, it's a Saints helmet, so it was worth it to me.

Pretty cool, and I like that they use Lego parts exclusively. Can't decide what I like best, although I'm a Testarossa fan.

That Breaking Bad camper looks cool.

Some Star Wars polybag quick builds. I really like the Millenium Falcon. Those are new.

Between this, Barad Dur and Rivendell, they're killing it with LOTR sets. And the minifigs are mostly pretty great.

I just ordered the Jazz Club modular building yesterday for the 2x points promo. Can't wait to get to that one. It's on backorder, but I'm good with that considering I've got some other stuff I'm working on.
