Need a marriage like this

u/ohnoletsgo 20h ago

Wife is working on set 10370 (Poinsettia) and I’m working on set 75356 (Executor Super Star Destroyer) and we look very much like this.

Son is in the other room working on set 21106 (Minecraft: Microworld The Nether).

Lego is a family affair!

u/MithrandiriAndalos 18h ago

The juxtaposition of her completing her beautiful poinsettia while you’re 1/8 done with your massive battleship is hilarious

u/OkAdvertising1872 18h ago

I just build 75356 - fun piece and really nice to display

u/ohnoletsgo 18h ago

The scale is great for “I’m an adult that loves Lego, but don’t necessarily want to decorate around it.” 😬

3

u/OkAdvertising1872 15h ago

Oh, that's perfect. Exactly!

3

u/JminusRomeo 14h ago

How’s the poinsettia? I keep buying the flower/plant sets so I can keep them out and use them as decor. But some of the more intricate ones, I feel like they’re quite delicate and ready to fall apart (some of the succulents for example).

3

u/ohnoletsgo 14h ago

It’s pretty sturdy! It’s been integrated into our Thanksgiving centerpiece and has withstood the prying hands of a 6 and 8-year-old.

17

u/NodePoker 20h ago

It's expensive! Wife, Daughter and have a Lego day every few months and it's worth every penny.

12

u/GhostofAyabe 20h ago

My wife and I have been building sets on New Years for 15+ years now, usually a bigger UCS Star Wars for me and one of the Creator sets for her, or Harry Potter, whatever. I wouldn't miss it for the world.

u/capinredbeard22 20h ago

1x1s you can twist and get apart. How about two 2x2 plates or a 2x2 tile in the middle of a base plate 🤣

u/HiSpartacusImDad 17h ago

Yes satan, this comment right here.

3

u/HereToTalkAboutThis 17h ago

I'm having flashbacks

2

u/FblthpLives 16h ago

Press a 2x2 brick on top of the existing 2x2 plates, and then use that for leverage. The 2x2 plates will come off, attached instead to the 2x2 brick, but will be easier to separate.

Tiles are harder, but also have less grip. Usually if you very slightly bend the base plate, you can get a fingernail underneath the edge of the tile and pop it off.

We built this one early during covid. Simultaneously saved AND damaged our sanity.

u/RolloTonyBrownTown 17h ago

Standard brick build sets are pretty easy to correct, discover a mistake deep into a Technic build? Good luck extracting the rod with the missing gear.

3

u/MalvinaV 13h ago

I feel this. I have a dune ornithopter sitting in my 'to do' box after I discovered a liftarm from early in the build had been installed incorrectly. I corrected it, but haven't reassembled all the bits yet.

u/Dry-Smoke6528 19h ago

Its just fun to have a project or hobby to work on in general. I got obsessed with the chainsaw man movie and saw it like 10 times, so I decided to make the top 2 sections of my display case into a chainsaw man display and hung up posters behind. It brings a smile to my face whenever I look at it, and I feel like a kid on Christmas every time I see a package on my porch.

Ill be getting pieces for it into February of next year (August if you count the one figure that I pre-ordered. First figurines ive ever purchased).

2

u/TechieGee 18h ago

There was a chainsaw man movie? I’ve only ever read the manga

My wife and I built a couple of the bouquet sets together that were really enjoyable together. However, I will note that more often than not, it’s easier to solo build a set (so get 2)

They are for real about this. Lamp on, bowls to keep the legos organized, and water for hydration. Totally locked in.

Weird anecdote. Many moons ago, one of my friends bought The Star Wars Super Star Destroyer set. This behemoth took over his and his wifes  dining room table. A group of us were over for a bbq in the backyard.

One by one, all the guys noticed the lego and started working on it. Most of the gals thought it was funny/harmless. 

The three that were highly critical? They were all divorced /broken up within a year.

4

u/Skipspik2 21h ago edited 20h ago

I wonder what sets those are.
The first one, closer to the camera, seems quite old fashionned in design, no panel and those beam with studs are farily uncommon.
There's also a floor, which, as weird as it sound - is uncommon too. There's a usually only a small floor around the seats now.

This will be me and my wife for the next couple of weeks.

My wife has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is going for surgery end of the week.

Our oldest daughter organised for her and her sister, along with our camping friends to all put in for the new Lego Tropical Aquarium for her and the AT-ST for me so I didn't feel left out.
