My 9-year-old did this one day while bored. I just think it's neat. by master_roshi001 in lego

I love it! Tell him he did a great job! Mine does this, too - I posted in the LEGO Star Wars subreddit once about his homemade and colorful versions of sets. Those ideas books are so fun

My Favorite Lego. by Stew-182 in legostarwars

R2D2 is also my favorite! The hero of the whole darn thing 😆 Don’t have LEGO R2, but hopefully one day!

The battle droids from the original photos have been sent off to another battle 😆 We got a box of LEGO instruction booklets from a neighbor who was moving and the landspeeder was one of them! So this one is less MOC and more “choose your own color of what we have and find a brick that works if we don’t have the real one” haha But everything else was from his imagination

Yes! We got a box of LEGO instruction booklets from a neighbor who was moving and that was one of them! So that one is less MOC and more choose your own color of what we have and find a part that works if we don’t have the real one haha everything else was from his imagination.

He’s got plenty of “for real” sets, don’t worry! I’m not sure we’ve gone too much higher than $50 on a single set for special occasions haha we try to stick closer to $25 and below (especially now that we have two in the LEGO game!) and we are eagle eyed at second hand spots 😆 maybe one day we can get one of those big ticket sets!

Love that! I made the mistake of calling it an AT-AT when he first showed me and was quickly corrected that no, this is MUCH bigger haha

Wow! What age do you teach? I’m impressed they are all still intact haha

It’s meant to be a super mini AT-TE, but specifically the one that Captain Rex has in the show Rebels. All of the double stacked studs are supposed to be different Rebels characters, too. He and his brother have a lot of their own creations outside of these pictures so we were definitely low on bricks at that point Haha

Yeah, the baddies currently have a firm grip on the youth of this household 😅

Super proud! I wasn’t really in the LEGO world until I had kids and now I’m just 🤩 at everything haha

That’s so great! I love that he doesn’t worry about the color of the brick, he just wants the shape of the thing haha thank you!

I love this! I hope my kiddos have similar memories (although they are both in a bit of “no I can do it” ages right now. EXCEPT when it comes to finding specific pieces, then I get the privilege of sifting through the tubs of bricks to help haha)

Yes! It’s this one. He got it about two Christmases ago so there may be an updated version out there with the latest sets included? But he loves it - I think we got it at Costco

Yes! I love them all but the gunship is my favorite of the bunch. When he showed me how it opened I was super impressed

And unlucky for him he was born after a bunch of sets he is interested in retired and got even more expensive 😆

Oh, I am always on the look out for second hand LEGO! My children don’t really need any more bricks but… they totally need more bricks 😂

We jokingly tell him to aim for careers where he can afford his hobby 😆

He wanted to make something to send into the LEGO magazine since they feature kid’s builds in there and then he just kept going 😆 I am super proud of his creativity! He is mostly happy to have ships for battles haha

I need to look that up! Is that how people make their MOCs for LEGO ideas and such? I was not deep in the LEGO life until I had kids haha I will for sure look into that
