What was the largest Lego set you've ever built and would you do it again?
-
Probably the AT-ST walker from Star Wars. That was cool since I hadn’t made anything that bit, but it was all grey, and therefore as memorable an experience as the last 9 star wars movies
-
I don't have a ton of sets, but I absolutely love Rivendell. It is beautiful to look at, has all of the fellowship, and has so many tiny details. Truly one of LEGO's best sets in my opinion.
-
The Home Alone house and in a heartbeat

When I was a child I loved bionicles and worked all summer to raise $60 for this double set of dragon looking things. Better yet, you could combine them and make a hybrid monster. Somewhere in that process of creating the hybrid I realized it was too much work disassembling and reassembling and completely gave up.

It was! I kept it split framing my tv for a while
-
...we (my wife + myself) were so disappointed by barad-dûr afterward!..we didn't buy it, so we haven't built it, but based on the photos it's neither inspired nor crafted to the same exceptional standard as rivendell...
-
...ah, i can't recall whether rivendell included two separators, but it was also packaged in sub-boxes with separate instruction books, which made teamwork a snap...
-
I had a friend from school who was into bionicles. It looked really cool, but I have to admit that I just simply didn't understand it
-
Lining up those roof tiles was pure torture. But a beautiful set.
-
The millennium falcon, the big one. It took about 16 hours of build time for two people. I think the only set bigger at the time was the titanic. I’m actually not sure if the Eiffel tower has more pieces, or if it’s only physically bigger.
-
Not really the biggest, but most complex: the ornithopter set. Tremendous fun, and some of the mechanics feel borderline lego-illegal.

I've done 2 of the technix cars 1000-2000 pieces. They are fun but expensive. They take up a lot of space when you are done. The Ferrari had a lot of loose pieces for the price. As others have mentioned, look into led kits before you build it.
