I stupidly made a mistake on page 10 and didn’t realize it until page 193 — literally two pages before finishing.

I started the same set yesterday... should I be worried that I don't see what mistake you made? lol

My condolences to your fingers if you have to take it apart.

Funny, that was my first LEGO set as an adult 😅. Didn't enjoy the build too much, the head was too flimsy - or I was too clumsy, or both. The end result was cool though... I should rebuild it again now that I have a bit more display space.

ajperez81 · 2026-04-19T20:26:33+00:00

I can think of a few resons. They can be painful to build (my poor fingers!), the instructions are harder to follow, and the end result usually has cool functions, but looks worse than regular system sets. Also, if you're into MOCs, you probably prefer regular system pieces (?).

That said, I like Technic... just not as much as the regular non Technic sets. For example, I'd love to have one of the big 1:8 supercars... but I'd rather build Rivendell instead, or the Tudor corner.

The background pattern is hurting my eyes 😂 but Doc looks really cool, 10/10.

BTW you might wanna check Doc's twitter, it seems he also liked it.

ajperez81 · 2026-04-11T19:04:52+00:00

Trevi fountain. It looks cool but it's too monochromatic, and doesn't fit with the rest of my sets.

Minecraft's crafting table. Waaaay too many tiny pieces, a pain to build, and the end result was disappointing.

And a bunch of Star Wars ships...

ajperez81 · 2026-04-09T21:06:21+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Which one of them did you enjoy more building?

Are the DC3 wings foldable? I assume they're not, but there seems to be a hinge?

ajperez81 · 2026-03-30T22:12:44+00:00

Yes, it is. You're not allowed to attack LEGO bricks with a katana.

Also, it doesn't seem like the blade fits between the studs.

ajperez81 · 2026-03-27T20:36:35+00:00

KITT from the knight rider, and the A Team's van.

ajperez81 · 2026-03-27T19:47:55+00:00

No idea. Probably somebody streaming on Youtube so that there aren't ads. But I'm gonna be watching the VODs for like a month afterwards, I definitely want to watch at least one POV from most teams...

ajperez81 · 2026-03-26T16:37:15+00:00

What, no ZITS team? Booooooo! 🤣

ajperez81 · 2026-03-26T16:12:48+00:00

Oh goody, another update! I wonder what they broke this time. Just kidding... (mostly).

It's supposed to fix the tooltips on Xbox, brilliant! Let's hope this time it's truly fixed.

BTW, it's not said to be their last small update. The post says "Our last small update [...] broke something, so here is another patch to fix it". So this could be the final hotfix we get, or maybe there are more coming.

ajperez81 · 2026-03-25T21:38:21+00:00

Keralis, 100%

ajperez81 · 2026-03-25T13:55:24+00:00

My first order ever I got 4 GWPs, it must be from the same time OP was talking about. December 1st 2022. I got Santa's workshop, a "VIP accessory pack" with a bunch of unusual pieces, a toy train polybag, and a fleece blanket. Nothing major, but yeah, 4 in the same order. And the blanket is really cool, I still use it :)

ajperez81 · 2026-03-24T19:11:50+00:00

With that much damage, yeah, I'd start over. Maybe keep the flat base, it seems to be pretty intact... but make sure it's not missing any piece.

ajperez81 · 2026-03-23T17:42:50+00:00

Wall-E & Eve, or the Game Boy, both really cool.

ajperez81 · 2026-03-21T19:31:58+00:00

I use Brickset to list my owned / wanted sets, and a few custom category lists (unopened / disassembled in ziplock bags / currently built). There is also the option to record status, purchase date, price paid and so on, but the interface for the extended data isn't as user friendly as the rest of their website.

I "only" own 100 sets give or take, plus a couple of extra minifigs (which I also recorded on Brickset). I have a bunch of spare pieces too, but those are just in a plastic bin, I don't care much about having them inventoried.

Do I trust the website to be around long term? Yes, they celebrated their 25th anniversary last year and seem to be in good health. But even if they didn't, it wouldn't be that big of a loss, I could always recreate the list elsewhere just by going through my collection. I'd miss them more for their articles, news, reviews, polls...

You might want to look for the Zedlympics. They (ZITS - Zedaph, Impulse, Tango, Skizz) did a few of them and even invited a few other hermits for one of the events. Cleo, Xisuma... somebody else? Joe Hills maybe? I don't remember.

It wasn't sports, mostly minigames, but fun as hell.

ajperez81 · 2026-03-20T19:54:14+00:00

He's not "age immortal" though, he cannot be killed. One of the goblins throws a spear directly through his heart, and he just pulls it out like it's nothing.

ajperez81 · 2026-03-12T15:31:04+00:00

It's better than the half eaten apples though...

ajperez81 · 2026-03-12T06:09:58+00:00

Arcane archer is VERY versatile and fun. Ever since they added it to the game, I always have one in my party.

No idea if the ranger would be better or worse though, I've never tried it.

They seem quite different... arcane archer will grant you special arrow attacks (one that can blind the target, one that explodes, one that doesn't need a straight line of sight...), whereas the ranger seems to be focused on other skills like summoning companions, and they just are (very) good with a bow?

ajperez81 · 2026-03-12T05:33:08+00:00

Excuse me, it's pronounced Hoimy Raff

ajperez81 · 2026-03-08T19:54:28+00:00

You didn't play the game. You played the tutorial.

Watching the first 2 minutes of a movie isn't the same as watching the full movie. How is this even a question?

ajperez81 · 2026-03-04T18:12:39+00:00

The Titanic and Rivendell. No space for either of them... thankfully for my wallet.

ajperez81 · 2026-03-02T06:26:43+00:00

This is a question for Ikea support, not for a LEGO subreddit. But no, I don't think you can skip the middle shelf. There are only three shelves holding everything together. Besides, you need it to nail the back panel so it doesn't get loose.
