I finally got a big Lego set, this thing used to be the biggest set by piece count when it came out and it’s still among the top 10 today. I found this in stock at the Lego store in Santa Clara, and spent 3 weekends building it.

These are some glam shots of the finished build:















Here’s the box it came in, it was very heavy, luckily the Lego people did give me this durable yellow bag.








I’ve made a build timelapse over the course of 3 weekends:
