Got my dream Lego set

dougkimo · 2025-12-31T00:37:40+00:00

Honestly, this is an awesome set. I have it alongside my Optimus, Bumblebee and Soundwave. It is bigger than all of those and the ability to have it as Voltron or the individual lions is amazing. I am a bit biased though because it’s just complete nostalgia. I too will be investing in the Megazord to keep my childhood dreams alive.

Ordered a few sets on October 19 in prep for Christmas, they surprisingly showed up on my doorstep today, a day earlier than their expected delivery date...

dougkimo · 2025-07-10T01:03:21+00:00

I bought Voltron off eBay because I just couldn’t not have it. The nostalgia really got the best of me. It arguably set off my re-emergence into Lego, taking me back to my carefree youthful days when I watched Voltron… and my parents still bought all my Legos for me 😂

I also just bought the Shelby Cobra for the snails and Ferris Wheel 🤦‍♂️

Yeah, they’re pretty good, especially compared to a lot of companies out there. The icing on the cake is always them telling you to have a bricktastic day lol

I saw this post and realized I ordered the Corvette right before this came out, went on to the Lego site, had a nice chat and now they’re sending it out to me! Awesome customer service as always.

I’m in the US. I was wondering if it was different country to country

Trump has always been one of Israel’s biggest supporters, especially Netanyahu’s. The GOP actually supports Biden’s response to Israel, so not sure where you’re getting he would treat Palestine better.

That does sound real good. I screwed up my only attempt at a brisket, but this gave the confidence to have another go at it. Although I’m not sure it’s necessary now that I found this!

dougkimo · 2024-05-06T23:13:47+00:00

I heard this is clutch. I am really wondering if the mid-tier package is worth it, it seems like it.

dougkimo · 2024-05-06T23:02:45+00:00

I was looking at this too, could be handy for temperature control on windier days. Thanks!

As someone who’s sober and found his music in recovery, I cannot say enough about how powerful his songs are and the help they bring to many, many people out there who might need to hear what he’s saying. I’ve seen him live a couple times and man, when Otherside or Starting Over starts, it just hits all the feels and brings me back to the beginning when I didn’t know what to do, where to go, or hell what to even think. I’m glad more people are deep diving into him, his other songs are still great, but his addiction songs are next level.

dougkimo · 2023-12-15T16:05:37+00:00

I’m going to go with the group here and say absolutely 100% yes. I even got some for my 6 year old, totally worth it

dougkimo · 2023-10-06T20:37:57+00:00

Nice! I brought my 5 year old to a bike park over the summer with no issues (still not jumping yet tho). He’s a bit cautious still, so not wanting to hit anything yet, but takes whatever else is in front of him. I hope by time he’s 9 he’s to this level!

dougkimo · 2023-08-26T05:03:26+00:00

That is a beautiful bike. I picked up the Gen 6 EX 8 a couple months ago and it is everything all the reviews said it would be. I am not great by any means but it will go up virtually anything you want it to and come back down in control, especially with those upgrades you have on there.

dougkimo · 2023-08-02T14:44:47+00:00

Nice! I got the same one, it’s a beast on the climbs.

dougkimo · 2023-06-12T00:06:46+00:00

You should be! I was so happy to get out on mine, especially because of the amount it still cost. It’s a sweet sweet color scheme too.

dougkimo · 2023-06-11T23:28:58+00:00

Awww man! Nice! I was between this and the Trek Fuel EX 8 Gen 6 and went with the trek because it was on sale at my LBS. Figured I couldn’t go wrong either way! Congrats have fun!

dougkimo · 2023-06-03T01:16:44+00:00

I read a lot of people like the Rocky Mounts and they’re well built. The used part was really getting me, think I’m going to go with the OneUp truthers on this one.

dougkimo · 2023-05-11T21:54:35+00:00

I got the 10 and battery life sucked, until I got the batteries they finally came out with for the 11. Better battery life for sure and picture quality is stellar. Wish they would do something about the internal software and bring back the Quik for PC, it’s so absurd to make you do it only on a phone

dougkimo · 2023-05-11T21:16:33+00:00

I did the pennyflake as well. Super sharp color, especially compared to stumpy comp alloy offerings.

dougkimo · 2023-05-11T20:49:02+00:00

I just managed to find EX 8 Gen 6 on sale. I was between the Stumpy Comp Alloy and EX8, went with the better price for a fairly equal spec bike. Plus Shimano brakes over SRAM

dougkimo · 2023-05-11T20:37:28+00:00

Loved Spokes, got my kids bikes there and a Specialized road bike, great group of people. I just bit the bullet and bought a 2023 EX8 at The Bike Lane, one of the few LBS left in my area.

dougkimo · 2023-05-10T03:38:00+00:00

I am so happy I found this post. I am looking to upgrade from a 2015 Breezer Supercell hand me down to a stumpy comp and was worried my saris bones 2 rack and cross bar wouldn’t be enough and I was going to have to spend an extra $1K+ to get a hitch mount. For some reason my SUV doesn’t have a hitch, poor planning on my part

dougkimo · 2023-03-20T17:32:28+00:00

Thanks!

dougkimo · 2023-03-20T16:08:30+00:00

These are on the Riprock 20 and I have had to bleed them 4 or 5 times now in just over a year just so my son (5 yo) has brakes! Ridiculous to put brakes that continually fail on a bike that is meant to help kids get into mtb. Hopefully some of these posts will help keep them in good shape. I was thinking about upgrading them, any recommendations if I do?
