Reached the most boring part of the Lego NES build: 2x30 pieces of track 😪

Although it is a bit tedious, I appreciate the cleverness behind it, so I get why it’s needed, but oh god will it get worse before it gets better 🫣

And the little Mario course Easter egg that is hidden by one of walls on the side of the build adds some more flavor to what essentially is a box 😅

Really like the way they didn’t just keep it plain.

Finished the NES itself and OMG the cartridge mechanism is soo satisfying!

The latch is a 2x2 upside down plate, holding a technic rod into place when it’s pushed down. So creative! 😯

Started building the Lego 71374 NES and I have to say - it’s shaping up to be one of the most interesting ones in my collection.

I am just 3 bags in, but I can already see so many clever techniques to get the cartridge mechanism working.

Cannot wait to see what’s next! 🤩

Added the Lego 75398 C-3PO to the collection tonight and I was reluctant to get this one at first.

But the promo pictures don’t do it justice. Absolutely jam packed with SNOT techniques, especially for the head piece.

Display-ability: 5/5⭐️
Build experience: 4.5/5⭐️
Play features: 2/5⭐️

Of course, the star of the build is the blue plastic tube element in the back, made to represent the thrusters.

It was quite tricky to put the half pin into it. It then connects to the main build using a bar with clip. Really ingenious, but I had to use the separator to get it in piece (2nd pic)

I especially enjoyed the little Easter eggs sprinkled throughout the first steps of the building process

These 3 stacks of studs are meant to represent the moment C-3PO interrupts Han and Leia’s intimate moment

Just finished the 75375 Lego Millennium Falcon and I have to say it was one of the most enjoyable building experiences recently.

The build looks great, includes several custom printed parts (no stickers for this one 😮), has all the details of the iconic ship, and it is displayed at an angle! 🤩

Finished putting together the Lego Commander Cody helmet and I have to say it was one of the ones I enjoyed most.

It was full of great building techniques to achieve that iconic nose bridge, with clamps angling two halves of the face.

It was also the first Lego I saw with only paper bags!

Really happy with how this one turned out. It was the first time I saw the Brick Headz techniques into a larger set, so it was a lot of fun building it.

That is, until I had to layer black bricks on top of more black bricks 😵 RIP my eyes

I still remember just watching the 2 Fast 2 Furious intro, thinking “Oh man, Brian is so cool 🥶”

Now I got a Lego model of his car, with surprisingly many details. Only thing missing now is adding some actual blue lights under it 😄

These Lego Star Wars helmets look absolutely fabulous, from afar and up close 🧐

Full of SNOT techniques and ingenious ways of creating all the necessary curves to give out that realism 😯

I don’t know what, but there’s just something so cute about the Brick Headz Balrog to me.

I keep imagining him in a high pitched voice, screaming “I am the harbinger of doom 😠”

Really loved this Speed Champions set. Was also my first one and the smile on the minifig’s face is only half as big as mine when I am looking at this one 😁

Forbidden West is still one of the games that made the most out of the DualShock.

As for the Lego, glad I got to buy it before it went out of stores. It looks great, the Watcher is so cool 😲 and Alloy minifig is awesome!

To this day, the Daytona SP3 is one of the best looking sets in my collection. I still can’t believe this is Lego 😲
