The pictures don't do these justice. I saw them in person at Brickworld Chicago. Absolutely amazing.

Just finished building the $200 Batman Tumbler.

It has incredible detail but is something you can only look at. You barely touch it and pieces fall off it. The toy is huge about 1/2 the size of my dresser.

Do you guys glue your legos?

Wanted to buy the Slave 1 but a little disappointed with the tumbler. Should have just bought all the DC hero sets for 2015 instead

Are you a master builder haha? How do you ever build these huge sets or get all the pieces to build this?

Some fantastic sets and builds on here , Didn't realise there was such a big following on here for lego.

Used to love it when i was younger but now me son is getting older it seems to be all he wants at the mo . Shame that the hours i spend building them for him turns into 10 mins of him taking them apart , am seriously thinking of getting back into building my owe and on numerous trips to our nearest lego store I've been looking at the tumbler but just haven't taken the plunge yet .

I know its been a while since you asked, but it wasn't answered. That guy isn't an official master builder, but he is a "famous" builder. If you go to the LEGO shows, you might see him there. He (and Bender!) was at Brickworld Chicago 2014. I didn't make it this year to see if he was there.

Edit: Here is his Flickr feed: https://www.flickr.com/photos/brickfrenzy/

He definitely was at Brickworld 2015 -- I saw that Tesla logo/charger in the tour video made by Beyond the Brick.

I have the Slave 1 and it's a very sturdy and fun build. I love the Star Wars UCS sets.

I thought about buying the Tumbler, I'm in Indonesia and can buy one off the shelf, but then I have to ship it back to the US...

I'm begging they release another UCS Millennium Falcon...

Ok cool then I will buy the Slave one as I have seen it on craigslist used for $90:). The Tumbler just has too many parts and you barely move it and pieces fall out. My wife told me to just glue the pieces but I don't want to do that. I really really want this build :) I see them on eBay all the time but the ones with box cost 200+ the ones without I have seen go for $130-150. I might get it. I am huge huge batman fan :)

I am getting my masters and studying for the CPA exam. building this things really lowers my stress levels or stops me from being super pissed off haha. When she sees me building one. She's like ok not a great day haha

Finally got round to building Wall-E:

View attachment 579297

yea..... really torn what my next project with my nephews will be. Wall-e or the Millennium Falcon :)

Kind of shocked that Wall-e is as expensive as it is. My nephews want Jokerland set but they just want the mini figures I think as they never even touch the non batman vechiles haha

my niece really want Star Fire tho
