so, what are y’all working on? a few months back, I decided to build 6085, the Black Monarch’s Castle. I always loved that set, but didn’t have it when I was a kid, so I built it with the parts I have. then I modified it with some more modern touches, like the cheese wedge crenellation (yeah, that’s not very modern, it’s all relative). then I decided to expand. then expand more and more, to the point where it is now, with a very similar size and shape to the Ninjago city gardens.

staircases!

elaborate brick work!

modularity!

      very cool 🤯 I don’t think I’ve built a technic set in about 25 years, just not my thing compared to the regular brick, but they’re so impressive.

      the idea of disassembling that beast sounds nightmarish!

        Thanks! Brick for brick I also enjoy ‘normal’ lego more, but the MOCs for technic are better imo and more reasonably priced from what I have seen.

        So of you take rebuilding/MOCs into account, in my experience (and opinion) Lego technic gives a bit more bang for your buck, but the absolute enjoyment of building a set is bigger with regular Lego.

        Disassembling a newer set is significantly easier than older sets, because the pins are still more flexible. I think they tend to harden as they age. So if you put on some nice music and think of it as a little bit of me-time, it’s not so bad.

        Edit: fixed a couple of typos
