Hi Guys, well some of you may know I do big Lego builds and enjoy every moment of the build.
I have just completed the Titanic, some 9090, pieces, it turned out to be a beautiful experience.
Some time ago i also built the Millennium Falcon, then decided to pull it down and store it, however I have decided to rebuild it from scratch another time.
Wow, this is hard work, sorting through 7500 pieces, but it is a work in progress.
I did like the first season of Lego Masters, since then the Aussie host has become as narcissistic as his American counterpart (Will Arnett, sounds like some sort of cookie).
It's a time consuming event.
Some of the sets are worth a considerable sum of money and will likely never lose their value, till the aliens give us our own real Millennial Falcons to fly around in. Haha
My son has Lego NXT kits here, 2 of, new, basically unused (a few projects done with one set).
Fine motor skill problems as a child meant Lego and Meccano (100th anniversary set) weren't within his dexterity range K'Nex however, WOW, you wouldn't believe what he builds and designs with that.
I buy up old Screamin' Serpent roller coaster kits when I see them at reasonable prices to have enough rods and connectors, there's NEVER enough. The sets were $100 new, people want $400 for old, used, incomplete JUNK now.
We can also buy new bits from the UK but postage is the big killer.
Wow Leon, those two kits are huge. I thought I was tragic with the bigger technic kits lol. These days the technic kits mostly look to be cars and motorbikes so I've lost interest.
Both of your kits look amazing. I'd love to build either of them, but would need to sell a telescope first lol
Another LEGO tragic here.
I've never had the cash for the big, fancy kits, let alone anywhere to display them when finished. I had to pass by the Saturn V Apollo set because of that latter.
I've always been envious of the folks that had the cash for the big kits and somewhere to display their finished efforts.

If it wasn't for benefactors I wouldn't have them either- I couldn't justify it for myself, I'd feel too guilty.
My Saturn sits in a display case opposite my desk and was the source of much comment during lockdown Zoom meetings.
There are a lot of closet Lego tragics out there...
Excellent effort Leon. I’ve been interested in the Titanic saga for decades and finally on Thursday morning was able to touch a piece of Titanic’s steel with my bare hands (fingers actually). My son recorded the moment in photos…..
so I've lost interest.
