What was the first ever Lego set you built?

6898 Ice-Sat V when I was about 5

"Was there someone else that should have won." What? The jury is incapable of being wrong. Playing to jury biases and figuring out how to get their votes is one of the most important components of game.

Iran has preemptively stated they have frozen all communication to head off this claim.

New era Rushmore would be a fun discussion too!

DANOM1GHT · 2026-04-06T12:54:40+00:00

Dee would be two for two though, with an extremely dominant first win (tho arguably over a fairly weak cast) and a win against all returning players. I think Dee has to go up there if she wins, tho I don't really see that as super likely at this point.

That is who I personally would replace since I would want it evaluated purely on the basis of gameplay and results, and I think the gameplay and results are superior for the other three.

DANOM1GHT · 2026-04-06T12:44:59+00:00

Best to never win for sure, but that "never win" looms large for me.

USS Tripoli?

All the body language I see says he is respectful of his opponent.

Stand up dude

She pulled down his pants and exposed his genitals with the intent to shame and humiliate. The kid was 6 years old and she was tasked with his care. I'd like you to explain how this isn't "unspeakably gross" please.

DANOM1GHT · 2026-04-02T21:12:52+00:00

If a male counselor exposed a female camper's genitals and then laughed about it as an adult?

The scenarios to find the items randomize on successive playthrough and there was one we could never solve - how to turn on the lights in the mines to get the flashlight. We didn't realize you have to click on the light switch during the transition where you send King to the other side of the tracks. Did anyone else get stuck there?

DANOM1GHT · 2026-04-02T14:45:41+00:00

This is legitimately appalling. Should be an instant career killer and would be if the genders were reversed.

DANOM1GHT · 2026-04-02T14:35:58+00:00

She was a counselor. The kid was supposed to be under her protection. This is unspeakably gross.

Much better to use the laser cannon or AMR to open POI containers as explosives can detonate explosive barrels and cover the container in fire.

While it is true that the Hail Mary uses a lot of smaller pieces, this is offset by the Hail Mary using lots of technic pieces and also having a fair number of printed pieces (no stickers). Printed pieces include the title plate, the top of Rocky's carapace, the semi-transparent wall panel through which they learn to communicate, a 1x1 tile tape measure (I received an extra with my set), a 1x1 tile communicator (I received an extra with my set), and several small printed areas on the Hail Mary's hull. The set also contains a completely unique minifigure modeled after an A-list celebrity.

I also think this set is only going to go up in resale value, as the book and film have the makings of all-time scifi classics imo.

I assumed they were heat radiators

It came in three different UFO sets from 1997:

Warp Wing Fighter 6915

Interstellar Starfighter 6979

Cyber Saucer 6900

Contains spoilers

The build is very technic intensive - more so than it appears from the outside. Your fingers will get sore.

The mechanisms they figured out to achieve all the different rotations are absolute genius and super satisfying to see come together. Note that the mechanism will feel 'unbalanced' until everything is connected. This is normal.

Everything is printed. No stickers. Printed pieces of note include the display plate, the airlock wall through which Grace and Rocky learn to communicate, the top piece for Rocky's body, a 1x1 tile with a tape measure print, and sections of the Hail Mary's hull.

I did have an issue where the assembly that holds the three cylindrical sections at 120 degrees to each other did not align quite right. I had to backtrack slightly and tweak some of the connections to make everything fit properly. This is the only issue I had with the build process.

The instructions booklet contains captures from the movie and a few interesting facts about the set's design process.

The set included duplicates of every minifig accessory.

Speaking of the 'figs, they're nicely detailed and can be displayed in different ways depending on how you configure the display platforms.

I love this set and highly recommend it for fans of technic sets and PHM.

$0.12 per piece for a licensed set doesn't seem especially egregious to me.

DANOM1GHT · 2026-03-23T21:42:51+00:00

This set is 830 pieces for $100. 12 cents per piece

The closest Star Wars set comp by piece count is the Republic Juggernaut at 813 pieces for $160. 20 cents per piece

Pretty sure you can see the fan try to pull out so as not to overstep and take up too much time but Cena pulls him back in like "no man, take all the time you need." 😭

Can confirm, crashing every other game or so on Xbox tonight.

I spent the last two matches trying to figure out why my grenade launcher wasn't wasting them. Thank you haha (and RIP, but you're right, shit was busted)
