If you don't want to get angry, I wouldn't click on the spoiler.

Seen on Reddit. The most beautiful set Lego has ever created.

The free Genesis controller I got when I bought Soundwave was great. This Genesis set just looks...cheap and thrown together.

Also, is Lego getting into the speculative market with only releasing 250 of that set? That's kind of the last thing I want to hear from Lego if thats true.

Not sure how I feel about limiting sets like that. The people that really want them to build are going to have to fight with scalpers to get one... and Lego already has a problem with being too expensive.

Lego is getting a bit odd lately, honestly I have been losing interest apart from some Speed Champions. Ran out of room a long time ago anyways.
 
Would you guys have any interest at all in a website similar to speedrun.com, but for building legos? I built one (thanks to ChatGPT), but I'm second guessing myself on this little project and my wife made me promise I would at least ask about interest. While I have the domain setup, its just running locally on my computer atm. Anyway, if anyone would be interested in recording their lego builds with a timer on screen, let me know. I know @Famine has done it before and posted here, which gave me the idea for the site. If there's any interest I can link the domain on namecheap to my home ISP for a trial run for a bit.

There are folk speculating that it's going to be a free gift with purchase.


The only drawback is it's a purchase of an actual Bugatti Tourbillion, as there's only 250 of those too.
 
Not sure if I've posted much in here, but have got back into Lego in recent years, along with my wife.

Some of the sets we have:
Speed Champions: Nissan GT-R, R34 Skyline, Audi Quattro, Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari F40. Like some others here though, i find most of the cars look crappy. I only own the Countach, F40 and the Audi as they suit the blocky Lego style more than others they've done and you don't need to think too hard about what car it is meant to be.

Wifey has a Kawasaki H2 set yet to build, a Sonic set with the loop-de-loops and Dr Robotnic, a cat and mouse and possibly other things I've missed.

I have a big Ferrari F40 that i bought at the Lego Store at the Rockefeller Center in New York in 2017.
A huge Mack Anthem Technic truck and trailer i got for Xmas or a birthday one year.
An Indiana Jones set with the tip over statue things.
A Creeper Lego (or Lego-esque) keyring.
A small Creeper.
A big Creeper (I've got a weird obsession with that monster from Minecraft - i have Creeper: pillow, basketball, night light, cups/glasses, playing card, door/foot mat, body wash, desk light, mousemat, computer mouse, socks, PEZ lollies, soft toys (small and very big), cardboard fold together creeper heads, stickers, Christmas cards, body spray, bath duck Creeper, Xbox Controller, controller/game/headphone stand, keyrings, soup bowl and so on).

Ahem, anyway:
And my most recent purchase was the Schumacher Ferrari F1 car.

I did own the huge Concorde model for a couple of years, but it was only when i got it home on purchase day that i realised i have nowhere to put it once it's built, and the shop didn't do change of mind returns. So never even opened the box.

Then we started getting a bit financially tight, with two young kids, so reluctantly had to sell it - which took maybe six months, and when it sold it sold at a loss. :(

But oh well, it is what it is.

I do have things on my wishlist, but they're too big too some of them, like the Tintin moon rocket.

I also have all of mine, my two brothers and my sisters Lego from the 1990's, and my grandparents Lego house sets from the 1970's or so.

Good that Lego is branching out more these days and making custom parts to suit certain builds, but its still an expensive hobby!

I saw on Brickclicker that the Bugatti is limited to 250 because it's only available to Lego staff for staff appreciation or something. Which is why it has a weird set number.
 
@Jump_Ace categories for no instructions and build in the bag (gonna be WAY harder now that polybags are paper!)

I personally doubt I'd get much use out of a site like that since I buy so many sets that no one cares about (though I guess that's an opportunity to set some world records) but you never know, people love to race all sorts of things so why not Lego?
 
After chatting with the wife, she convinced me to finish what I started. So I completed the remaining steps to make the lego speed build site this morning, so now its publicly available and usable at https://speedbuild.net. But no poking fun at my AI generated logo :lol:

I've only done light testing so far, but lmk if something isn't working right. I don't have build in the bag categories yet, but if there's lots of interest in that I can add it in fairly easily. I also have zero idea on how to promote the site, despite my BA in Business Marketing (I've worked in IT my entire career, lulz), not that I have much of a budget for it anyway. But maybe it will magically go VIRAL :lol: Anyway, have fun fellas!

@Jump_Ace - is the intent to go for the fastest build speed?

I've contemplated trying to rebuild my kids' sets, or at least some of them, but since they're all in various states of assembly and in large containers, that would be a large undertaking. Once I had all the correct pieces for a set then I could go about putting them together. Otherwise it would just be hours of me digging through pieces looking for that one 1x1. Exciting watching. :lol:

Yep, just record the build with a timer on-screen. But you can skip the whole 'watch me search for the pieces' part. You can get the pieces prepared/organized however you want to ahead of time and start the timer once all the pieces are gathered. One requirement is no pieces can be put together ahead of time. Or record yourself building a brand new set, where the timer would start once you open the box.

The site will scrape Rebrickable when you enter a set number and put it in the right category, so any set 'should' work. Obviously there's still some rule definitions that would need to be clarified as time goes on, but we'll see if anything goes anywhere.
