What was the largest Lego set you've ever built and would you do it again?
-
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.
-
I don't think the picture does it justice. Being 6,020 pieces, this thing has to be Big, am I right?
-
How long did it take you to put this thing together. It's definitely one of the bigger ones.
-
The Ducati looks like it has a lot of pieces I don't recognize from other sets. That's pretty unique.
-
I can't remember the piece size of the top of my head, but physically, the Raiders of the Lost Ark temple is my biggest and would happily build it again.
My only worry is that the rubber bands might perish at some point.
I enjoyed building the ECTO1 but the stickers were really annoying. There's a large number of stickers representing rust and they're all identical.
I was going to leave them off so the car would look pristine like the original film but I changed my mind.
-
It is physically very large. Larger than basically all cats and a lot of dogs. My daughter was 3 1/2 when I got it and it wasn't much smaller than she was then.
I've assembled and disassembled it several times. I think it takes 8-10 hours to get it together and not much less to take it apart. You really have to follow the instructions in reverse to get it broken down, and the pins make my fingers quite sore if I don't take it in stages.
The linked review is correct that the mechanics somewhat overtax the single motor, but I find the design so impressive that it doesn't matter.
This was the last "flagship" Technic set I ever bought. We don't have space in the house for more plastic toys this size, and I don't love the fact that the huge ones tend to be app controlled now. But I think this was a pretty high note to go out on.
-
Memory is a little fuzzy as this was.. Over 10 years ago (oh god I'm old)..
I think I did a couple hours a day over several days. Probably totaling 8 hours -
I think i got it around 2003. Years ago the engine was a rotary and the cylinders actually rotated with the propeller!
-
Yeah, the warp pipe Easter Egg was was sold me on this type of build. I really hope we get to see more non-minifig scale mocs that do this type of fan service. As I was putting it together I was trying to figure out what the hell I was building, and when it clicked? Oh man! I love showing the secret to guests.
On a similar note, the 25th anniversary Millennium Falcon has a few Easter eggs, but you only get to appreciate them during the build. Opening the Falcon up to take a peek isn’t an option.
-
Probably fort legoredo, I wouldn't mind doing it again, but I think some pieces got mixed with some other sets from the wild West theme. I think that set also doubled my Lego gun collection as well.
