    I just built the NES/CRT set. It was about 2600 pieces - not very big compared to a lot of the serious sets I’m sure. But the only real one I’ve done.

    Definitely would do it again! It was very relaxing to take a few minutes out of each day and go through a bag of legos and instructions. I was kinda sad when it finished - the end product is cool, but the fun was really in putting it together and slowly watching it turn into a thing. I mean, I’d enjoy doing it again, but I don’t expect or plan to for any reason.

      Woah, yep. I’ve remember seeing this one. It looks really cool. Nice!

        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.

          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.

      That game cartridge mechanism is satisfying.
