LEGO ERA |OT| Rebuilding One Brick at a Time.
- Thread starter PhoncipleBone
- Start date
Haven't bought a LEGO set since the original Bionicles. Thinking of picking up the LEGO Cinderella Castle this Christmas. Put it right next to my Cinderella Castle 3D puzzle.
Congrats, the Saturn V is an awesome build. I have it sitting right next to my Lego space shuttle now!

I only ask because I'm thinking of making or contributing to the Lego Marvel 2 OT
I'll do it! I got some experience with making logos. I'll even post it here to get some feedback from y'all.

Gotcha.
It did cross my mind that we need a logo, but I was going for speed in getting this OT up.
You know, the ResetERA logo would be rather easy to pull off in brick form. Hmm...
Yeah, I think I added the logo from the Bad Place on one of the images and yeah...

I went and just edited out the layer with the logo and re uploaded the banner here, then did CTRL+F to find any mention of GAF in the OP and replaced it with ERA. Was pretty painless.
You have chosen wisely
Seeing a picture is nothing compared to the model built upfront of you

Welcome back everyone. Thanks to massive work from many of our longtime posters we were able to gather many of our community back together. We were able to save both long time posters and long time lurkers. For those who we were not able to get to our dicord in time, you have not been forgotten, we are still keeping an eye out for you. Our Lego community is now stronger and more linked than we have ever been before.
Extremely special thanks goes to phonciplebone who took the lead on getting in contact with resetera staff and fought hard on getting our community included in the process. I know he gave up a lot of his own time to get as many of our members over here as possible in a tight timeframe. Thanks also goes to the other moderators and users who also contributed in all ways they could during the process.
We are looking forward to new participation from long time lurkers and long time posters alike in this new era for our community. To those of you still trying to make your way here, we look forward to seeing you again Thanks all for your hard work and everything really is awesome.

It's Friday! What are you building this weekend?!
I will probably get around to my Jakku Quadjumper. But Mario Odyssey is going to take some serious free time this weekend.
My birthday is Monday. We'll see if the wife and kids bring me something new to build. Since my wife is involved, I doubt it. I'm supposed to be storing some stuff (ran out of space - have a Scuttler attacking the Parisian Restaurant and a Star Destroyer parked on top of the Kwik-E-Mart - it's madness).

I was thinking about building UCS TIE but I suspect Mario will get in the way of that...
How quickly do we reckon Women of Nasa is going to sell out? As per family Christmas-time rules, I can't buy myself anything from November-December. I've dropped enough hints but not sure the wife will be refreshing the store like I would be :P
On another note, found the Saturn V at Fenwicks in Canterbury and so snapped it up :D It's another Christmas present, so I'll have to wait a couple of months.

It is quite big. But also highly repetitive as there are lot of copies of most sub constructions. But that is kind on inevitable based on the source...
Just buy it and store it in case they miss :D And in case they buy it for you, you will get a present for somebody else later. I doubt there are no worthy recipients in your surrounding either for the LEGO value or the "women motivational value" of that set...
That is very true but she'll know! I could always get it combined with the newest Winter Village set to disguise it... that will work XD
Lots of 2x , 3x and so on builds?
thats great because i will be building it with my wife
oh, those puny 2-3x :D the last bag goes up to 12x as the circle is split in 12 sections ;)
The rotating floor is also repeated, but due to mounting of the animals/stairs the sections differ a little bit.
The base is symmetrical,but mostly you get to put multiple bricks in one step and not sub-assemblies.
Main column is also symmetrical with repeated steps.
Also the animals are independent builds, so with digital instructions they can be split and made synchronously.
And prepare for the aliment of 20+ stickers on round 2x2 tiles.
Generally it is probably mostly enjoyed as a joint build...

sounds like the perfect set for a joint build then , thanks for the feedback
First post - might as well make it a giveaway.
I have a sealed package of these Ninjago pieces - given to me by a family member. Not the book, just the pieces. I don't even build w/ Lego anymore so I thought I'd give it to someone who'd appreciate it and I found this thread. There are some cool pieces in the set - 156 total. If you're in the U.S. just Paypal me the shipping ($5, I guess) and it's yours. GAF Plus Seller, btw. First to quote get it!

Palace Cinema for sure. You'll regret it if you don't. EOL was announced, what, two months ago? Clock is ticking.
I recently ordered a Saturn V set (only $119.00!) on amazon. I may take up this hobby again judging by the enjoyment I get from the Saturn V build.
Brickset have a few images of some 2018 City/Creator/Technic sets - https://brickset.com/article/31414/images-of-2018-city-technic-and-creator-released
I have a question. I have a 3 year old son, and he's really into firetrucks and racecars, that sort of things and he loves his Lego's.
At what age would be best for me to introduce him to the Lego City and the like, he only plays with big pieces, called Lego Duplo here, and the offer is small on those sets.
Thanks LEGO ERA.

Hi. It depends on two factors:
- if he is old enough to not put objects in his mouth (even older children that are past the oral phase still do that sometimes, and is a risk with small pieces).
- if he already developed the small dexterity with his hand and is able to manipulate small objects easily (unless he will be frustrated).
Those factors varies from child to child. My daughter is 4 and a half years old, love her Duplo castles, and I just introduced her to her first Junior set (also a princess castle). She still struggles with the small pieces a little, but is getting there.
I still need to pick up Assembly Square (black friday double vip or whatever, it's happening) but I'm starving with anticipation for the 2018 modular reveal. I can't believe they seem to have gotten so good with leaks lately! Idk why but the first reveal of the big sets is actually way more exciting than actually getting them to me.
also yay new thread <3

Of that group, Airjitzu wins. Airjitzu + Bounty is way too stacked.
The other sets are great, but airjitzu alone is best one. Bounty is tip top too, so that combo wins easily in my book.
But I am biased to Airjitzu.
