They can rebuild it, they can make it better.

Starting a city. I'd love to do a full-on Lego city at some point. Not sure if I'll go with a couple of themes or just mash it all up into a Frankenstein city, heh.

Man, I dig this setup. I suspect Avengers Tower would look fantastic with lights.

Wife bought some Christmas sets and I just got around to building them. They're gonna look great when we decorate next Christmas. One even lights up.

All of them light up if you hit them with an an open flame. They are quite flammable / inflammable depending on your school of thawt

Would love something like this down the road. Bought a couple of modular building sets this week. They're retired sets, so my wallet is killing me, lol.

So...apparently Cousins is one of us. Not sure how I feel about that.

I’ve always liked Cousins,,, as long as he’s not our QB.

I received this for Christmas and had fun putting it together. While not the same as the model stuff I do, I enjoy Legos and build stuff with the kids regularly. I have several "more advanced" Lego kits I've assembled. What's great for me is that I don't have to go to the workbench. I can place a small table on my lap and build while MBR and I are watching something.

While I do have small and mid sized Star Wars sets, I eventually want to get some of the UCS sets, most likely the Millennium Falcon and maybe the AT-AT. The Interceptor and Fang fighter on the left I completed a couple of weeks ago and they are part of one set.

I'm kinda torn tho. I'm really loving building modular sets. Actually in the middle of building Assembly Square (second pic below). It's such a fun build.

Just a heads up. The UCS Millennium Falcon, Razor Crest, and Venator Republic Cruiser are scheduled to be retired NEXT year. So you do have some runway to make up your mind.

I will say that the UCS Millennium Falcon is BY FAR, the best Lego set I've ever done.

Yeah, great point. I've heard rumblings of all of the Star Wars sets, big and small are retiring next year. I have close to enough American Express points plus Lego insider points to cover most of the MF set. I might pull the trigger this summer. I don't expect there will be any discounts on those high end sets. I really wish I had gotten the Razor Crest when it was under $400 when on sale last November. Grrr.

I'm actually tempted to buy something right now because Lego has a 2x points offer going until the 24th. I know they do those a few times a year.

I wish I could afford a Star destroyer and death star.
