Might visit that. Not to far away from where I live.

Did you go?

 

[MarcoM]

No, did not fit the schedule, yet.

Waaaw... Don't forget to post pics when it's done! Please!

Wasn't entirely happy with my 1973 F1 car so I made a lot of improvements. Changed the colors, gave it a completely new nose + wing, smoothened some edges, gave it a better engine cover.

@Michael88 , looks really really awesome!

 

[Dennisch]

It took some sweet time, but they finally arrived.

And they're in absolute mint condition. For 20 eurooos.

Surprised someone has been able to keep those cardboard boxes in such a good condition all these years. They were really flimsy in the 80's and 90's.

Wow, this line of LEGO has changed massively. These sets look criminally easy to assemble, compared to the current ones.

That's because they're beginner sets. 7 years and up.
And on top of that, they're 35 and 33 years old.

I got a Lego gift card for Christmas, along with a bit of money, so I bought this:

Then I bought this:

And today I got this (primarily because I liked IG-88 and Bossk when I was a kid, despite the fact they even never said anything):

At the end of the month I fully intend to buy something a bit more expensive if I can afford it, I'm thinking Snowspeeder but if not, either the A-Wing or Y-Wing. I'm trying to figure out which one is the oldest and (maybe) therefore nearest to retirement but I got bored and gave up.

 

[Michael88]

Finally got around to create a Ferrari-esque 90's Formula 1 Car.

Of course a F1 of that era would not be complete without a huge fat blown diffuser. So here you go....

It was really hard to figure out how to attach the front wing / nose. I really like how my solution turned out, it works wonderfully.

 

[Michael88]

I was bored so built something completely and utterly different today. I really like the female Hoplite Minifig I made.

It's Lego's 60th Anniversary today! and they have announced some special sets including reproductions of vintage ones...

Thats awesome!

 

[Leadfoot530]

M'kay; gotta have it!

 

[Sting]

Signs for Porsche..... Lego releases Ferrari set. lol

Meh, generic female minifig probably.

 

[Sting]

Yes double post, but I’m just going to leave this here.

 

[PARAGON GT]

I was always hoping they would make a classic Mustang ... And I'll end up getting this ...
But is it me, or did they miss the mark on this one?

I'm thinking its gonna need a rebuild ...

 

[Ferraridriver27]

Get ready to sell your children and kidneys:

 

[Downhill Dino]

It isn't the Type 57 so I think I'm safe.

 

[Spacegoat]

Don't want to even imagine how much that's going to cost.

 

[Michael88]

Working on a little fun project, a super mobile combat robot model. Almost the same mobility as a human thanks to tons of ball joints. It even has a spine!

This is a digital render of my model in LDD, I'll probably order the parts next month.

 

[Michael88]

My modern interpretation of a Group-B rally car. 650 parts, its to 75% finished, which will change to 100% till next monday. Ordering all the parts is going to be a pain though. A costly pain.

Anyway, it consists of 650 parts, it has working steering, slim gravel / snow tires, fully modeled interior. The engine and a hinged hood is not yet completed.

In comparison with the Lego F40:

I picked this up recently and its much better than it looks on the package.

So far I've kept the kit stickerless. And I used 2 1x6 and a 1x4 in black to remove the white stripes from the car and give it a nice black stripe along the bottom of the door area. I still feel I have to rework the front end a little bit still. Haven't quite figured out how or what I need to do yet.

But overall its really not a bad build.

I'll probably pick up a second car to build it the correct way with the stickers.

Bought yesterday two Speed Champions kits. The 1968 Mustang and the Fiesta WRC.
Will post some pics once I can make some decent ones.

Looks like the Lego boom is coming to an end. First sales fall in 13 years and they are axeing 1400 jobs.

It really seems to be a cycle, in the 00's kids moved to videogames then in the 10's they went back to traditional toys... now it's swaying back again to more techy stuff.
