I guess the friend group has sucked me back in.

I also got this slick small dremel setup that I've been wanting.

That's a slick little rotary tool! Looks like you got lots of cool goodies.

Where did you get that? And can we see it in action? Curious how much speed/torque it has.

I'll try to get you guys some video tonight. I do not expect it to have anywhere near the power of a corded rotary tool. I bought this specifically for cleaning up 3D prints faster than by hand, working on RC stuff, and gun stuff.

That's what I was thinking it would be good for.

These are supposed to be pretty good too, but I've never tried one.

Yep, I can see that. I wanted something a little more versatile however than a one-trick pony.

I received my Lego order. 1k Grey bricks. Should be a good start on lego mountain. I gotta get to work. I'm such a man child.

Only 1k? You're such a slacker

You ordered directly from Lego? Their site offers so many bricks.

I did. I have tons of Legos but I was lacking in the sheer bulk this project will require. My intent is to build a tunnel for the Lego train, a mountain of sorts, for the crawlers to climb.

Now that my daughter has moved off to college, I have an entire room to dedicate to my Lego obsession. I'm still doing the finish work in said room after a remodel. Once completed, Lego city will get reassembled and become the home of the SCX30's.

Very cool. How much are 1k lego 2x4's from Lego? I keep telling my kid how much better the regular blocks are than these stupid sets.

 

[Mrgoodwrench35]

Just under $200 for the 1k bricks and 80 of the 2x10's. And they threw in a few small sets for free. If you join their club, you get all sorts of discounts and free stuff.

That's a bargain considering how much theme sets cost.

Certain specialty pieces are expensive but basic bricks are relatively cheap.

I used to be a member a long time ago. I've been to like 3 or 4 different Lego World thingies, or whatever they call them. Chicago, Mertyl Beach, and a couple other places

I am always amazed by the huge lego sculptures.

The one here in KC has a very impressive copy of the buildings in downtown KC. They have a decent Star Wars collection too. I'm almost ashamed to admit this but my star wars collection is bigger than our local Lego land.

They do have a life size R2D2 that I keep threatening to build. The wife says no.

There's a Lego store not far from me. A Lego set & loose brick store. It's totally amazing. Thousands of loose pieces in bins. Iirc buy by the pound. I'm a Lego nerd

Thats cool! Id like to road trip to some different Lego lands just to see what different stuff they have. I think it would be an expensive trip though.

Few months ago we moved 3-4 storage bins of legos to the attic and they are still everywhere

Son does have this one started on his bench lol

I bought Breydon the Lamborghini for Xmas. I think he got to the 3rd page or so and there it still sits. The boy has the attention span of a Roomba in a daycare after a birthday party.
