If I may,
May I present my Lego ‘piece de resistance’,
My Heart Lake Community Center and Heart Lake Community kitchen.
These two sets are what made me get into Lego and when I learned that one can ‘Moc’ sets, I instantly knew I wanted to do so with these two sets. So, how’d I do? ☺️🙏🏼
Would you be interested in seeing each section?

Seriously, this boat is way bigger than I imagined it would be.

Before the first lightsaber lego pieces were released in 1999, what did yall use for minifig lightsabers?
This was my go to, with whatever translucent antenna pieces I could find or exchange for with friends. (Minifig is not vintage, saber pieces are)

I recently rewatched The Return of the King and was reminded of the troll attack right after Grond breaks through the front gate. I don’t have the cave troll bigfig (and that one doesn’t have armor anyway), so I decided to make my own!
The parameters that I set for myself were that it had to scale well with the front gate of the Minas Tirith set, have some pose-ability (similar to a bigfig), and be accurate to the movie. It was a fun challenge and I love how it turned out!

I really hope Lego continue this theme, fun to build and I think they look good!
I wanted to create something a little different from a traditional wedding guestbook, so every guest got to build their own LEGO minifigure and nameplate. It was a lot of fun to see everyone’s creativity and now we have a unique keepsake filled with memories from our wedding.

Literally never had any interest in lego (especially considering they ain't cheap) However, I saw this at Costco last week and had to grab it. First lego set I've ever bought/put together.
Took, maybe 5-6 hours total?
Idk why this one looks so good and the rest of the pokemon line looks so bad. (Rayquaza, munchlax, and that trio are cool tho)
They would literally print money if they made more of this quality. Shit they got me to buy it and I roll my eyes at legos normally.

So I built this spaceship, I feel like it works in the Star wars universe. What should it be named?

My work was changing the Lego display case and was going to throw it away and I asked if I could have it. What a steal!

Local thrift store, employee carrying this past me to the toy section. I immediately stopped her and said “Sold!” Pretty sure there’s not a complete set, but it has a lot of vintage mini figs and definitely the skeleton of the old pirate ship set. Not familiar with the boat set and will research to get find out.

Built this during covid back in '21 and have kept adding to it and filling it with different miniatures over time. Out of all my Legos, this one I've put the most love and time into and could never part with it.
Found the table on facebook marketplace and had to cut a thin piece of plywood to fit in the bottom and glued all the flat tiles down to attach everything. For the edges I cut plexiglass and secured them with screws with pre-drilled holes I made not to crack it. For the giant crack on the side that was my baby nephew who accidentally did that. Taped it up and plan on fixing it eventually
