October 30, 20205 yr My friend’s kid built the Death Star one a few years back. The instructions were in 3 large spiral bound notebooks. It was pretty insane.

My youngest son loves Legos. He's built many of the big sets. Usually knocks even the biggest ones out in a few hours, but he won't stop until he's done.
October 30, 20205 yr Yeah, don't think I could convince the wife to buy an $800 Lego set. Very jealous
October 30, 20205 yr Author lets just say there was literally 5 seconds of silence and a stunned expression when I told her. Then she was on board with additional "our time"
October 30, 20205 yr Kids today with the modular building via split bags and instructions. in my day all the pieces were in one bag, if there was a bag at all. Let’s see how long it takes that kid to build that kit when all 7600 pieces are on the table to be rifled through.
October 31, 20205 yr My middle mullet and I built the one from 8 years? back....I think it cost around $150? It was a great time, great memories. The final pic is still the background on my phone. He's 14 now,. Enjoy it, it flies by, pun intended.
October 31, 20205 yr This is much cooler than all the dumbass Harry Potter Lego shit my wife and kids build.

November 1, 20205 yr I know, I was kidding. The more likely thing is that she wants to be helpful so she will have dumped out all the separate bags into one hulking pile so it’s ready to start. Never tell me the odds!

November 2, 20205 yr How I envision what is going to happen every time the kids and I finish a Lego model and have to move it from the table....

Or until the wife tells me to move it into the small back room out of the way Anyone ever done the cost benefit analysis of old toys you destroyed as a kid with fire, bb guns, .22's and fireworks? Had to be in the thousands over the years. I once set off every last firecracker we had in the belly of my old Star wars AT-AT to simulate Luke's taking one out on Hoth. It was a glorious fireball of acrid smoke and later burying the evidence to hide it from pops....

It was a glorious fireball of acrid smoke and later burying the evidence to hide it from pops.... I used to take model airplanes and put model rockets in them. Best one was an F16 painted like the Thunderbirds I sent horizontally down my street. It flew 2-3 feet off the ground the whole way until the charge to send out the rocket parachute blew it apart from inside. That would have made an awesome youtube video but cameras were still VHS at best back then. I was lucky it didn't hit someone's car sitting in the driveway.
November 23, 20205 yr Oh, almost forgot... I got into my dad's shotgun shell reloading supplies and built a homemade firecracker for some tanks

I would build race cars out of k'nex made specifically to hold model rocket engines. Only made scorch marks from the ejection charge, however.
November 28, 20205 yr Author 2.5 hours. Good times. This thing has so much inside details and it's finally starting to take shape...Fingers hurt with the damn tiny pieces
