What was the largest Lego set you've ever built and would you do it again?
-
That's 9090 pieces. You're a madman. How long did that take?
-
I just built the NES/CRT set. It was about 2600 pieces - not very big compared to a lot of the serious sets I'm sure. But the only real one I've done.
Definitely would do it again! It was very relaxing to take a few minutes out of each day and go through a bag of legos and instructions. I was kinda sad when it finished - the end product is cool, but the fun was really in putting it together and slowly watching it turn into a thing. I mean, I'd enjoy doing it again, but I don't expect or plan to for any reason.

Blacksmith set a few years ago. I got it as a Christmas present and if I had money I’d do large sets more often because of the joy I felt building that one.
-
I put together the Apollo Lunar Lander not long ago. I enjoy the experience of putting together Lego kits so sure, I'd do that again. Or even a bigger one like the Saturn V.
The problem is what to do with these after I finish assembling them. Nicer kits have a good number of specialized parts so I don't want to take them apart. So they just sit on a shelf and collect dust.
-
Maybe two weeks of nightly building after work while watching TV.
-
Woah, yep. I've remember seeing this one. It looks really cool. Nice!
-
I'm guessing OP was talking about set #10497 Galaxy Explorer with 1,254 pieces.
-
That game cartridge mechanism is satisfying.
-
@[email protected] Was it this one?
-
This one is really cool. I don't remember seeing it before. Pretty cool design and there's alot of detail in there. @[email protected] i understand that. They're a lot of fun to build, but then how long do you keep them?
-
It is really cool! I expected to it to enjoy seeing the machinery in both main parts come together, but I did not expect the surprise 1-2 cameo inside the console.
-
Yup such a wonderful build for me
-
Personally for me, it was the Galaxy Explorer. I helped my brother put together the Temple of The Golden Idol from Indiana Jones.
I've never really had a big Lego set, but I'd like to some day. I really want Rivendell and the D&D castle/dragon that came out.
-
The giant Hogwarts with 6020 pieces! It was a lot of fun over a week, but my fingers hurt when I was done so I probably wouldn’t do it again. The stained glass looks really cool though!
-
The Audio / Video connectors on the back are Perfect, haha
-
Death star. I'd probably build it again. Taking it apart seems harder for some reason.

Sopwith Camel WWI plane
-
There is a ducati oanigale sitting inside a box which I haven't even opened for 2 years... I am too scared. Was waiting for my kid to get older and then make with. Almost there....
-
My kid bought me a Back to the Future DeLorean for my birthday, about 2000 pieces.
Initially I thought it was kind of a mis-gift, something they would enjoy more than me since I hadn't built a set since they were small and needed my help, but I made it a point to crack it open instead of letting it sit and it turned out to be quite enjoyable.
-
I've never seen one of these before. The engine and the wings are really interesting to me.
