Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should
Well. I wasn’t expecting Tame Impala to go so hard. Amazing gig. Elephant was immense. Let It Happen blew the roof off.
Bag 14 and done. Such a cool build, quality minifigure too. My first Ultimate Collector Series set, and you can see why - it’s huge, and there are lots of great little details. Of all the licensed stuff, Lego and Star Wars are just made for each other. So satisfying.
Bag 12. That’s the cab nearly done! I do like that Lego throw in a few wacky colours for bits that you’ll never see once it’s finished
Bags 9 and 10. Starting to build the head/cabin. Classy stripy seats and some quality control panels in there too
Bag 8. No surprises, a mirror image of bag 7. And yes, that’s a paint roller handle
Bag 7. Lots of little finishing details on the right leg, including the first sticker! I have a feeling I know what bag 8 will be…
Bags 5 and 6 done. Daddy’s little chicken walker, standing on its own two feet 🥹
Bag 4 done. Couldn’t leave it with half a leg, now could I? Finger is poster’s own
Bag 3. Back home from travels, time to get a bit more done. I thought I was building a leg. Turns out I was building half a leg! A lot of fun Technical Lego in this one
Another fun @officialgdc.bsky.social done and dusted. Always nice to hang out in SF and talk game dev tooling. Now time to stop talking and recharge my social battery
Bag 2 done (this might take a while). Much more detail added to the base, and yes, that’s a wheel with tyre. There are lots of little pieces and it’s very satisfying how nicely it’s all going together
Bag 1 done. Looking like the neck/shoulders. Can see why this is the ultimate collectors edition. There’s much more going on than a smaller model
Holy moly that’s a lot of bags. Even the instructions are in a bag! The instructions being an actual book…
With one thing and another, it’s taken a while, but I think it’s finally time to crack open my birthday present
We're adding support for them in 2026.1. Right click on a branch or commit and create a new worktree. There's a new tab in the Git tool window to list and manage all worktrees, and you can double click to open that solution. You can download the EAP preview build and try it now
Oh hey. I forgot to post the finished photo. Bags 6, 7 and done. What a great model. Brilliant bit of Lego
This lovely piece by @mooseallain.bsky.social. Love so much about it, but the colours are just magic
