I've built half of the 90th anniversary castle and I've stopped there cos I'm not sure where to put the completed set.

Need more shelving!

I've done the same with the Batcave. When you open it up its Huge.

 

[Neese]

I too need more shelving

The next stage is finding shelving/storage you like, and refusing to buy it because you could spend that money on more Lego .

 

[Capital Power]

I must admit, I have Ninjago City Markets unopened for exactly that reason. Recently I've been buying smaller fun sets (Dreamzzz/Friends) that I can sneak into little nooks unnoticed

 

[PT Bar None]

I'm about to go through that process.

Currently I have a small room with no shelves and 11 "bookie" moving cartons full of Lego.

I need to convert that to a small room with a combination of cupboards, shelves and display units with zero moving cartons full of Lego

Nah, use the boxes as display stands

 

[SnakeMan86]

I mean.... How long do you really need family photos on display for anyway

I'm not sure which pages, but earlier in this thread I documented the build and it was mindblowing.

The only Lego set I've given 10/10 to.

Eiffel Tower is still unopened for me too.

Absolutely nowhere to put it unless I get creative with an elevated display which then has the risk of 10,001 pieces being strewn all over the place due to my chronic clumsiness.

Same with Collisseum for me

 

[PoppedCorn]

I have 40 unopened sets.
Still waiting for the house build

It takes, like 18 months to build a house, I think you need to get started on your stash . Pics here please, of course .

 

[PoppedCorn]

House has been going tech since I sold the last one...two years aug just gone I've been renting
We have trenches and should get a slab within a week or so
Its been a slow process

Still not sure if I do a complete smaller room or half a bigger room, I have a choice and prob leaning towards one smaller room as there's more wall space and then i can use the room for lego only

Most of the boxed stuff is stored in the spare room in the rental we are in

Off top of my head:
Diagon ally, the giant Hedwig, the giant Hogwarts express, all the smaller potters from the last two years( how many releases would that be?, e.g. the House books up to the bigger ones like dumbledores office etc), the bonsai, the guitar, delorean, the ranger , the smaller batmobile, the tumbler batmobile, the green mustang, the piano, the land Rover defender, the blue VW camper, the ford GT, the yellow medium bugatti, the orchid and about 5 speed champs


And I brooke down shitloads when we moved, like more potter
I have an earlier mill falcon, heap of medium stuff like the forklift and the hovercraft plus i have to rebuild big Ben
, tower bridge, the Mercedes earlier truck, the big log grabbing tractor
I do still have some built and stored like Ghostbusters big car, aston martin, blue stang blue vw beetle, red vw camper, r2d2, bb8 and prob shit loads more
The only ones I have sitting on show now here is the Hogwarts castle, the la mans car and the container truck


Once I'm in I'll get it all together and take a photo of the entire lot.

But it'll be a while.

Youd have more than all of us combined Capital Power
Lol

LOL, it doesn't sound like it from this list . You're going to have a blast when you do move.

PS the answer to your question is "all of a large room"

 

[nobbyiscool]

Just after getting the cast off my hand, yesterday I received a notice to vacate my rental.

So I still can’t really build anything, cos anything I build I have to try and move.

That sucks man, hope you can find something else soonest.

Could take a while, I'm trying to figure out whether I can afford to buy. 2 months isn't long to get it done though

 

[Xtreme]

Pros

• Enjoyable build, not too repetitive and the right level of difficulty
• Some new techniques (eg landing gear, temporary orange blocks)
• Anyone with some kind of interest in planes will love this, guaranteed

Cons

• Some will say this is a pro, but good luck in finding display space for this
• Noticeable gaps in the construction can be annoying (eg in wings, in the front)
• Although less noticeable in daylight, you can discern the difference between certain white tiles and blocks

FP's rating: 8/10

Yeah but did you make plane noises or imitate plane radio chatter at any stage of the building process ?

Time for the haunted house

This year's Winter Village is a ski chalet:

Alpine Lodge 10325 | LEGO® Icons | Buy online at the Official LEGO® Shop AU

Celebrate the holidays with the LEGO® Icons Alpine Lodge – a festive family build from the LEGO Winter Village Collection

www.lego.com

Not sure how I feel about this one. Like last year's it looks a bit meh in terms of its seasonality, and Lego have done plenty of smiliar chalet sets recently. I'll probably still get to keep the set complete, but it does look like they're running out of ideas, which I guess is understandable.

Also released this week is one of the most fun sets of the year:

Piranha Plant 71426 | LEGO® Super Mario™ | Buy online at the Official LEGO® Shop AU

Build this detailed, posable LEGO® brick model of a Super Mario™ Piranha Plant figure growing out of a pipe and create a cool centrepiece

www.lego.com

This'll look great in the Botanical collection

Watching along very interested!

I’d still like to think I’ll pull the trigger on it at a certain price point despite the size of it.

It's a really fun build the way it's coming along. I'll have to display it closed though I reckon. It's bloody huge
