Let's Build - LEGO City - "Speed Record Car"

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.

Let's Build - LEGO City - "Airport VIP Service"

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.

Let's Build - 3rd Party "bricks" - Mr. Universe Van

I've always been a huge fan of Steven Universe and when I saw that there was a series of LEGO knock offs dedicated to the show I was super excited. I didn't mind that it wasn't LEGO brand, because there are a lot of decent 3rd part "brick" products (and I'm a Brick Builder!) So I figured this set wouldn't be too bad. Eventually, I was gifted this set by my wife because she knew I love the show, I love LEGO, and (hopefully) she loves me. I went into this build thinking it was going to be extremely easy. Boy was I wrong. The finished product is nice and it is still themed to Steven Universe, but the journey to get there was awful. None of these pieces like to stick together, there are about 4 different colors for white, the gray are too similar and can be used in the wrong spots, and the stickers we're super difficult to apply (you can see where I ripped a few). I'm not saying I don't appreciate this as a gift and that I like the finished prod...

Let's Build - LEGO Creator (3 in 1) - "Speed Boat"

Today I did another set build from the LEGO Creator set 31071. It has 109 pieces included in it and has 3 different ways to build. I started off with the Fighter Plane build and now I have moved onto the Speed Boat build. The spotlight and the giant fan on the back are easily my favorite part of this build. There were a few parts that I had actually never used before and it taught me a few ways to use them in the future.
