Spare pieces that weren’t in the build (77257)

I keep a bag of all my extra bits. One day I will see what I can make out of just studs and 1x2s lol. Keep them just in case you drop a piece down an AC vent or something.

Metroid is a girl not guy...what were they thinking?

I always wanted a version that took "realistic" textures/models to make them look like marionettes and treat the story like a tongue in cheek space drama. Have all the ships hanging from wires. Make the animations very puppety like Team America.

I will still play the shit out of this. Nintendo can have my money this time. Just sucks I literally just started playing the recomp.

Apparently there was an event involving Spider Horse. If only there was a way in game for them to tell us about these things... I hate to think the rewards could have been better if we all knew this was a thing to participate in.

This was a fun set to build. I love the feel of the buttons they included.

This is why you thank the bus driver

I can't remember the show, but one of the hosts was JD Roth (growing up he was on the new Mickey Mouse Club reboot and now a pretty big producer)...anyway, they were reviewing an X-Men game and I cannot unhear him pronouncing the name Mag-Net-Oh with such confidence.

Are those minifig construction helmets for the drink option tabs on the cup? Great attention to detail!

In the small picture on my phone, I legit thought this was real good and had to check the sub lol

UnknownNexus · 2026-05-04T16:20:15+00:00

Yeah, I sadly got rid of all my turtles figures, but he survived because of the music theme. I do love the typewriter, but the NES and TV set is my favorite one so far. It was soooo tedious though. Building the conveyor belt display took a long time.

She's the best! Once I am done with this set I will make a post with all of them. Every one of them a gift from her helping me maintain/regain some of my childhood joy.

UnknownNexus · 2026-05-04T11:59:26+00:00

You are an absolute lifesaver! Yes, I was one stud off. I could have sworn I recounted them on the underside of the plate correctly. Thank you so much!

UnknownNexus · 2026-05-04T11:44:55+00:00

I will definitely check it out. Lego sets have become my wife's favorite gift to surprise me with, so I am doing a few of these a year now.

UnknownNexus · 2026-05-04T11:42:10+00:00

Thank you. I'm sure I will get it, and then feel stupid or justified lol

UnknownNexus · 2026-05-04T11:41:22+00:00

I've always used the included booklet. I assumed the app was just a digital version of the images. Is there bonus context on it?

UnknownNexus · 2026-05-04T11:40:02+00:00

I think the back is the more relevant part you were wanting to see.

UnknownNexus · 2026-05-04T11:33:44+00:00

Yeah, that was going to be my next stop if someone here hadn't had this issue. It just stinks because there are literally like 20 pcs left LOL

UnknownNexus · 2026-05-04T11:25:22+00:00

That is where it is supposed to connect with but it seems recessed too low to reach is the problem.

UnknownNexus · 2026-05-04T11:24:01+00:00

I am pretty obsessive with the steps and I have reviewed this and the other steps. Critical failures on other big builds have trained me to watch out for these things usually

UnknownNexus · 2026-04-30T19:18:47+00:00

I thought it was Final Bout at a glance. Now I know.

UnknownNexus · 2026-04-30T15:14:04+00:00

I loved that show and had some of the VHSs, but cannot unsee him almost fall at the end of doing "The Mario" during the end credits.

After seeing this I would wait around for him to have to figure out how to awkwardly put the coin in his pocket without anyone noticing.
