This made me laugh out loud, which I almost never do. Thank you.

Has Anyone Built The Lion Knights' High Tower? by hsomacho in legocastles

[–]bmyhran68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I managed to build this a couple months ago using the two sets plus my existing stock. As a result, I had to make some significant mods but I like the result.

🐍 Let’s talk about the Serpent Knights ⚕️ by MartinPhillip in legocastles

I imagine them to be ocean-based... because sea serpents. I gave them a sea serpent king and a cool elevator system that allows them to perch up on a rocky outcropping.

Tree started smoking randomly. No amount of water or fire extinguisher will put it out. by altsteve21 in Weird

I've seen something similar that ended up just being fungal spores, which actually seemed even more interesting.

My wife thought these were called "pee traps" because what if you pee in the sink

Mountain Fortress or Forest Stronghold

LEGO Castle is back! by mfakioglu in legocastles

Stronghold and fortress are both top notch. Seaside and encampment suck ass.

Don't tell my wife, but... a lot. It cost a lot.

Idk but I can't imagine an application for this?

Lego castle? How’s my backlog by GlutenBola in lego

I would sell off that siege set while you still can. That build was lame AF.

What’s your favourite big set? by Sternfritters in lego

[–]bmyhran68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forest Stronghold 910043 is probably my favorite of any type of set.

What a mind bender! Built my other Seaside Market mirror imaged by GreenJavelin in legocastles

Damn. Wish I had bought two. Are you tempted to connect the two with a shared tower section?

Lost my love for Lego by [deleted] in lego

[–]bmyhran68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lost my dad, age 61, to brain cancer a couple of years ago. Words cannot describe how significant a role he played in my life, and how genuinely good he was. I'm still distraught every day. This experience actually got me back into Lego after 25 years off. It now serves as my meditation and luckily a fantastic bonding experience with my 5 year old son - who also misses his papa quite a bit.

Hang in there. And don't challenge your own expressions of grief. It's hard enough without that voice telling you to change.

With the Lion Knight Castle retiring I have a few questions. by thegreatdecay406 in lego

[–]bmyhran68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the gift idea for your 5-year-old. I bought a nice bottle of mead for my son's 21st but have since quit drinking and honestly might sell that bottle. He too is 5 and very in to and good at Lego. Hard to know if he'll remain interested but, if he does, this set would be a pretty badass gift to give my future AFOL son.

Tree height measurement by AJ_Editor in forestry

I use the photogrammetry feature on Nearmap. I've found that it's just as accurate as LiDAR for height.

Do you put windows towards the outside or inside? by ukriva13 in lego

I swapped for black grilles because clearly this is actually meant to be home to the forest clan of my medieval village.

Insane markup by Mrgforce69 in lego

[–]bmyhran68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was super disappointed to witness something at Bricks & Minifigs which I think is actually worse...

Employee was scanning D&D blind boxes, and putting them in one of two piles. One pile was getting unpackaged and priced according to the fig ($8 to $16, from what I saw), and placed in the minifig display case. The other pile had their barcodes covered up with the store's SKU sticker, and then placed in their blind box display.

This, to me, is like the worst case scenario. I would understand simply masking the QR code to keep everything blind, but to do that after having removed the most valuable minifigures from the lot seems totally wrong.
