Mega Thread The Lego Thread - Post your best Lego work, get a Badge!

I got the small version of the Avengers helicarrier for Xmas and bought myself one of the light kits to go with it, when I finally get time to build it will be interesting to see if they are any good.

Please report back. Reviews of these here to date have been mixed.

I have a terrible memory. I have very little memory of lego sets I had as a kid.

I was at Lobo's collectables in Thornbury this morning, and sticking out like dogs balls on the top of the shelf was one of the first sets I ever owned as a kid, an early police station.

It was overpriced, but if I had space I would've bought it in a heartbeat.

I don't remember having Lego as a child, but I do recall once seeing one of those big 60s wooden boxes full of bits, something of a real Aladdin's cave. It certainly wasn't mine though . Wonder how much an original one of those would be now?

My mum gave a fifty litre bin full of all mine and my brother's 70s and 80s Lego to a mate of hers kid.

My first police station set ended up on the bin because I left it on the floor!

Thought it was a bit rude to throw out the most expensive set they’d bought me.

But I had tonnes of lego as a kid, but don’t remember too many sets. I used to build wrestling arenas with it, but never any grand like the one you showed at Brickvention. Then one day mum gave it away when she decided I’d outgrown it. Then again she always assumed I’d outgrow Wrestling too…

Reckon i had the airport as a kid
The plane lifted up from the side to expose all the seats
Why the got me that I'll never know as I had no interest in planes only cars.

Mustve been on special

I think that police station is probably (easily) the most expensive set that I ever got. I built mostly cars as a kid, anything bigger and my father would take it over.

Still, there used to be a big box of lego, and another box of instructions at my mothers place, I wish I'd taken it before she moved house and got rid of everything. Someone scored big.

Here here on wrestling.

Not much sport on today, I'm too old for hottest 100 parties. I ended up tossing a coin between the Friends Apartments and Endurance.

I'm 3 bags in and it's a fun build so far, cos it's so different to anything I usually build. I don't do houses or structures like this. You can do some cool stuff! (Haven't put the stickers on - I'm going to wait to see whether I'm keeping it first.)

Might do another bag or 2 after the basketball today, I'll see how I go.

This is really fun, the detail and easter eggs are nicely done.

I'm up to bag 6 now, which is the first one that I was missing, and that I've replaced with PAB pieces. The sorting shouldn't be too difficult - I was missing 2 bags, from 2 different apartments, so they're different colours.

I'm just dreading the possibility of missing something, so I'm not sure whether I'll keep going with it today.
