Meh. It's not like the old days where you had one bag and had to dig though all of that to find the one 1x1 bit you were missing. Now for the big sets they break it up into smaller bags and number them. Then they break up the instructions by bag so you are only working with a small subset of parts at any time. Also makes it much easier to do one sections worth and then come back to it later.32wildbilly wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 7:44 amHoly Crap! That is AWESOME!

For a Megablocks set that looks really good with a lot of work to build it. The few sets of their we have they simply mold many parts rather than having you build it up. Not a negative, just a different experience from Lego.Kalashnikov wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 8:02 pm Over 3,000 pieces, and a few beers. Legit display piece.
I only got it because it popped up on massive sale on slick deals. And unfortunately this set has no numbered bags, it is 40+ mixed bags where a lot of digging was required for some oddball pieces. Out of the entire set I was missing just one plate, which I think is pretty good.gnat wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 8:00 amFor a Megablocks set that looks really good with a lot of work to build it.

The kids gave me a Kart set back when I was racing Karts. It was fairly small but detailed and fairly accurate. I lost a lot of hair and my religion more than once assembling that thing only to have it fall off of shelves and any display area thanks to cats! Ended up looking like the after of some of my "real" flips.gnat wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 7:56 amMeh.

Off the top of my head we have:
The first "biggest set ever" Falcon.
Special edition X-Wing
Special edition Tie Interceptor
Hoth
Sand Crawler
Star Destroyer
Super Star Destroyer
Special edition Slave I
Lego Batman Joker's Mansion
Ferris Wheel
Ninjago City Docks
Ninjago City
Tower Bridge
2 Voltrons
Technic 991 GT3RS
That is just the big sets and I'm sure I'm not remembering them all. There are also more "little" sets than I care to think about.
Yeah I didn't say they were all built...Dr_Strangelove (whew!) wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 3:47 pm
I got this set for Christmas from my best friend. Looking forward to posting completed photos of it here. Someday.
