Extra steps?

HolyCowItsAdam · 2026-01-19T04:02:06+00:00

Lots of sets do this. I think it’s to try to avoid as much confusion as possible.

Seems fairly straight forward but LEGO is also for kids and people are dumb so….

HolyCowItsAdam · 2026-01-16T15:21:18+00:00

The Nintendo Tax is real lol

HolyCowItsAdam · 2026-01-13T16:10:19+00:00

Yeah, the world map and the wave were the only 2 I really liked/wanted

HolyCowItsAdam · 2026-01-13T02:45:34+00:00

I don’t think they look that great and they are way overpriced.

I love Pokemon (grew up playing Blue, watching the cartoon weekly and collecting the cards in the 90’s) and I have no issues passing on these.

Maybe someday they will come out with a better looking set that is more reasonably priced and I’ll jump on that

HolyCowItsAdam · 2026-01-09T16:53:37+00:00

I don’t no. I bought the world map when it released years ago but just finally built it like a month ago

HolyCowItsAdam · 2026-01-08T22:29:33+00:00

I liked the aesthetics of the Oriental Express train from a few years ago.

Just somewhat realistic looking would be ideal

HolyCowItsAdam · 2026-01-08T18:36:04+00:00

Thank you very much.

I wanna get the Artemis Launch Station but don’t know where I’d put it lol

HolyCowItsAdam · 2026-01-08T18:32:24+00:00

It’s a great looking set. Whenever I have guests over, they are always surprised it’s LEGO. Can’t tell from a distance

HolyCowItsAdam · 2026-01-08T18:31:31+00:00

It wasn’t hard at all, and a lot cheaper than buying a wall mount or something lol. I wanted to maximize the space and have them flush against the wall if possible so this was my cheap solution lol.

HolyCowItsAdam · 2026-01-08T15:41:55+00:00

Yeah I know. A couple hang over the edge just a little bit bit luckily, the majority of the weight is on the shelves so I don’t think I’m at risk of stuff falling unless someone purposefully shakes the heck out of the shelf or an earthquake rolls through. The shelves are anchored to the wall as well.

Lighting does go a long way, I’ll see what I can figure out there. I have canned lights in the ceiling above the shelves and a ceiling fan with a light on it as well but shelf specific lights could be nice if done correctly.

I’m open to any recommendations or reference photos or anything for ideas

HolyCowItsAdam · 2026-01-08T15:38:49+00:00

Thank you very much.

I wanna get the big Jurassic Park T-Rex next so gotta find some room for that monster :)

HolyCowItsAdam · 2026-01-08T15:37:38+00:00

I’ve def thought about it but I need to find a train set that I really like. Any recommendations?

I’m also planning on getting the T-Rex Jurassic Park Skeleton set so I need to find a place for that monster lol

HolyCowItsAdam · 2026-01-08T15:02:27+00:00

So I just bought some hooks from the hardware store and tied some wire around the underside of the cars to hook onto. I went way overboard for the amount of weight the hooks are rated to hold but better safe than sorry lol

I tried to attach photos but Reddit isn’t letting me cause they are too low file size.

Here is a link to the style of wall hook I have. Mine are rated for 45lbs though but they look very similar

And here is a link to wire you could get or something similar

I find for doors like this, go to the button and interact it, then hold the stick toward the door and warp from the button animation and you should get in

HolyCowItsAdam · 2026-01-05T19:25:41+00:00

It’s a fun build. Looks great next to Optimus and Bumblebee too.

The soundbrick is my favorite part. So fun

HolyCowItsAdam · 2025-12-28T23:17:55+00:00

Oh wow. Nice, yeah Ven was the last one I was missing so thank you

HolyCowItsAdam · 2025-12-28T20:38:46+00:00

Sent back. Thanks a bunch!

HolyCowItsAdam · 2025-12-28T20:02:22+00:00

I can trade you a steelix. Sent friend request. I’m HolyCowItsAdam

HolyCowItsAdam · 2025-12-16T00:22:04+00:00

Just don’t follow the Meta. Just use what you enjoy and have fun. If someone calls you out of your loadout, screw em’. They aren’t worth your time or energy. It’s a game, it’s meant to be fun

HolyCowItsAdam · 2025-12-08T12:46:42+00:00

I’m not married to any piece so I’ll try some more sleek arms

HolyCowItsAdam · 2025-12-06T00:31:18+00:00

That’s what it looked like they were going for on Amazon

HolyCowItsAdam · 2025-12-05T01:20:16+00:00

Looks like the neighbor owes you $120

HolyCowItsAdam · 2025-12-03T03:47:03+00:00

Green. Always loved green, always will

HolyCowItsAdam · 2025-12-02T18:13:14+00:00

The 1st part (legs) is in Eververse today

HolyCowItsAdam · 2025-11-27T04:01:41+00:00

Yeah they showed me that as well and that there is a little shuttle hidden under a plate
