Surprised no one had made one yet, so here the Lego thread, show off some sets you have or want, Mocs are welcome too!
Here’s my brand new Lego BMW M1000 RR, it’s a 1:5 scale version with working transmission, gear/shifting, suspension and steering. Super dope set. 80 stickers sucked tho :)
My 1:8 scale Porsche 911 991 GT3 RS, also has working pistons, drive train, shifting and steering. Love this set have had it for so long, definitely my dream car one day!
Definitely agree the Defender 90 is like 350 cad which is way too much, and Lego has stated that they will never do military based sets, this website BrickMania does awesome military kits very pricey tho.
Most recent set that I don't have a photo of is The mandolorians modified n-1, it's a silly ship for a bounty hunter, but n-1s are cool and it's hotrodded

That is just stupid. War planes never hurt nobody.

Yeah it’s dumb af, they actually released a set then immediately discontinued it and did recalls. It was an osprey helicopter in partnership with Boeing.
I love my snow cat, as a groomer. Pistenbully is the right brand, so I am glad it is red. i am a big bird guy so I have this set but not with me now And for the last 3 months I have been dying to buy this one, but I just do not have the space for a 2 foot wide plane in my house right now :/

ZenyattaKickLove the flowers, I had some, now my ex has them :/
Yeah, my girlfriend got those flowers for me. I will say it was a lot of fun building them with her. I ordered some more sets to build over the next couple of weeks
Definitely my Porsche 911 gt3 rs, that set was crazy technical. It didn’t help that the instructions are actually wrong and you have to switch some steps so the gears increase properly. The instructions have the gears going 1,3,2,4.
RparrI walked through the Lego store at American Dream mall after skiing there once, I was horrified how much most of the sets cost.
the fact that people are willing to pay like 20 dollars for a hundred piece set instead of just building shit on their own is insane to me. lucky that my dad gave me two giant tubs of bricks to build with!

20 dollars? Most of the sets in that store were 300+ lmao. Times have changed
I don’t hate the adult oriented sets I have a little more money to burn and I like some of the stuff, it’s crazy tho actually looking at Lego’s verses inflation they’ve remind fairly cheap

Got some for me and my gfs 3ʳᵈ anniversary, thanks for the idea!

My niece and I were trying to put together a Bugatti Chrion kit that was similar, the pistons in the instructions were in the wrong order so we couldn’t put the rest of the body on the frame until we disassembled our last half hour of work.
Good time to get a notification for this thread... just building the remote control technic Porsche GT4 from a Christmas present. Half done, I will post a pic later.
My 80-year-old grandpa has like $10,000+ of Lego in his house in the UK. I helped him build the Titanic, Concorde, etc. I still love my Lego but can never afford to buy any more. I wish that Star Wars sets were cheaper
Finally got my hands on one of the fire plane dream sets. only got spurred to do it once I realized it became a retired set. Found an ebay unopened one for 120̷, they went for 129 before. Score. I am short on space right now, I think I will keep it in the box til I get a bigger room and can appreciate it properly.
This was my favorite Lego set as a kid - I remember getting it for my birthday the year it came out. Now they have a 20 year special edition of it?? Bro WTF 😭😭

Snow speeder was always a favorite design of mine felt like it never got the love it deserved. Crazy to think that it came out 20 years ago
I have found my people.
I got Cinderella's castle and Stitch for Christmas. We're going on a very laid back vacation soon and I'm looking to put a set together while I'm there! Just not sure what yet. It has to be able to survive a road trip so my options are slightly limited.

Can you pack a smallish plastic storage bin sized thing in which to keep the set and pieces in various states of assembly? Maybe throw some bubble wrap in there and discard as the set gets built?

Yeah probably. I think I might just do something small (like the stitch I have) and put it back in the box (if it fits) or I can bring something to hold it in separately!
