There's a Lego store in JFK airport, in case any of you Lego lovers pass through there and have time to kill. They have some pretty amazing sets. I wanted to buy one for my son for Christmas when I was passing through on my way back from Italy but I was already carrying way too much stuff.

Didn’t even realize that. Lego needs more red, white and blue sets LoL

I'm starting a new set. My parents got me for Christmas. I'm pretty excited. This is an homage to the original Galaxy Explorer set launched in 1979.

And, I'm done! Lol. Was a pretty fun build. Probably more fun than sets that cost twice as much. Not super complicated or difficult. But plenty of cool little features that makes the build interesting. For a $70 price tag, this was worth it imo. They're selling for more online, but the Walmart my parents got it at, it was on clearance for 30% off the $100 list price.

I still have (well, technically, my son has them) the original Galaxy Explorer minifigs from when I was a kid. I believe mine wears a blue suit.

Welp, my family went nuts and bought me a whole bunch of stuff. The Succulents I bought for my wife. Yeah, I'm trying to get her hooked. Lol. The rest was mostly from my wife and a couple from my kids and parents. My wife is the best! I've already posted the Galaxy Explorer, and I'm doing all of the Star Wars sets. After that, I haven't decided. I want to do Avengers Tower so bad, but I think I'm gonna wait until I figure out how I'm gonna display everything. I'm leaning Lunar Lander after completing the SW sets.

Beautiful. That Avengers Tower looks magnificent. I wouldn't mind seeing a series of pictures through the build process, if you would be so inclined.

Can you not build some sort of curio cabinet out of Legos?

Oh, I'm definitely doing that to show my family. Will be happy to post here when I start building. I feel like a kid again! Yeah!

The 2 limited edition GWP (gift w/ purchase) sets are fun little builds. They're legitimate sets. About to do the ornaments. Feels like a lot pieces for 3 ornaments. The carriage I finished is a cool little build.
