Brick Builder Snarf

I recently picked up the LEGO Creator set #31071 which is a 3-in-1 build. It's orange so clearly, it was the first 3-in-1 that I decided to pick up and make content with. I started off with the Fight Plane (if that's the official name?) build and I plan to do the Speed Boat, and then the Helicopter (again, I don't know if that is their official names) build. It'll be great being able to creator 3 different sets of content with just one purchase! So, from this, I decided to make time-lapse for each different build that this set has to offer. Enjoy!

Today I did a set build from the LEGO Creator set 31071. It has 109 pieces included in it and 3 different ways to build. I started off with the Fighter Plane build. The front rudder and 2 blades are probably my favorite part of this set. It's a very minimalistic build and I think I gravitate towards those builds more than very complex styles and builds.

I'm super excited to say that my first Brixinit Box is on the way. I had done the first tier of box and I got a 3 months subscription. For those that are unfamiliar with  Brixinit , it is basically a monthly subscription box of LEGO pieces and other fun content. The box has 3 different levels that you can order and they all have varying prices and pieces that are included. The boxes I order are going to be level 1 which is the most basic box Brixinit has to offer. I plan to review the box and do a video opening it so everyone can see what exactly comes in one of these wonderful boxes. The idea of these boxes is that it gives you unique and possibly rare pieces to add to your LEGO creations. It's not exactly a set that you are to build, but rather a way to help you build your own creation (think MOC - My Own Creation). I haven't done any MOCs yet because my LEGO collection isn't very big yet, however I feel like with the help from Brixinit that this problem won't las

Finally got around to making another video. I've been going back and just doing photo shoots of past sets that I have built. I'm almost done archiving all of those, so going forward all of my content SHOULD  be accompanied by a time-lapse video. This build is of the "Jungle Buggy" set from the LEGO City series. It is number 60156. It was a SUPER simple build but the style of the Buggy made it very fun and rewarding to build. This was shot using my Google Pixel 2 this time instead of my Samsung NX1000, so the quality may be a bit different. Let me know what you think, Enjoy!

A fresh, new build from today! This one has a time-lapse video to accompany it as well. These tiny builds are a lot easier to manage in terms of photos and videos. Any build that starts to take too long and recording equipment starts to hate me! This is from the LEGO City series. It is item 60156 and contained only 53 pieces. I had a unique branch piece left over, so I am happy with the extra parts. Overall I think this build was pretty fun and I like the style of the Jungle Buggy itself. The Red Spider, as well as the blue gem piece, will be fun to utilize later.

Here is another build without a time-lapse video that I had done a long time ago. This depicts a successful business woman as she leaves her Limo and takes flight to her next business ventures.  This is set number 60102 (again, you can see it on the plates of the vehicle) and was 364 pieces altogether. I actually got a lot of leftover parts from this build and I'm hoping to use them elsewhere at some point. Overall, a very easy build but it did take a while to construct. I enjoyed that it depicted the successful person as a woman. Always nice to see the diversity in these LEGO sets. 

Here is a other build that I did a while ago. This one had three different ways to build and this was the set up that I chose to do. Two kids enjoying a treehouse without the burden of the adult world on their shoulders. Plenty of fun things to do in and around their treehouse, and it even has a Bluejay and a Frog! This is set #31053 and contains 387 pieces. It was a medium difficulty build and I did struggle a little bit because there was a mechanical part that allows the bridge to raise and lower as you open and close the set.  Again, I do not have a time-lapse video for this set because I made it before I even thought about taking video of my builds. Also, you may notice the strange and intense lighting as well as the white background. This is because I bought a photography box with different backdrops and LED ring lights. This is an improvement from my previous photos (maybe?) and may help inprove my photo quality. Enjoy!

Here is a build that I did a while ago before my craze of capture content started. This set was actually a gift my wife bought me one night. She has gotten herself a Disney Princess castle to build and I got this set to build. It is set item #60150 ( you can see it on the front and back bumper. I like clever code placement like that) and contain 249 pieces.  I do not have a time-lapse video to accompany this build since it was done a while ago. Going forward I'm going to try and capture all builds though. Enjoy!

I have finally uploaded the time-lapse video for the "Speed Record Car" that I built this week. I included the original audio this time to give a more real feeling to the video. I somewhat enjoy the sounds of the LEGO pieces being moved and shifted around and I thought my viewers might as well. Enjoy!

I finally got around to building one of the sets that j got from the LEGO store earlier this week. This was a set called "Record Speed Car" from their LEGO City series. It is item #60178 and contains 78 pieces. This was a fun and simple build. I enjoyed the color orange so I did enjoy putting this together. I have a video that I will upload to match this as well in future posts.

I already have two videos of set building that I had created so I will post them here as a type of "archive". Going forward I plan to share one video at a time to help space out these posts. I'll get better at set building as well as video creating/editing, so bear with me in the meantime!

I got the chance to visit the LEGO store at the Easton Mall in Columbus today. I had been there before, but I had never purchased anything. I figured today was my chance to indulge and finally buy something. I bought 2 simple sets and a Gold Brick key chain. It only cost about $26 so I was really pleased with the pricing. If it was more conviniet I would totally come here for all LEGO purchases but for now I will probably have to stick to ordering online or from Walmart or Target.
