    I just had to comment to tell you that I have a backlog that looks much like yours. I am going to have to watch your journey more closely and maybe I will get some motivation to work on my own backlog. I really enjoy the low-key chill of your channel. Thanks for videos.

    I have the parisian restaurant sealed as well. You made the right move to keep it sealed. The typewriter turned out amazing. It's so cool it has some functional parts to it. You did an amazing job on it. That Darth Vader mosaic is going to be so sick hanging on the wall. If I remember right, I mentioned a while back it would look awesome with some red LED back lit lighting so it would glow on the wall. Awesome week in Lego buddy!

    Good Saturday Afternoon Greg!! The typewriter is a wonderful build...It is so realistic...and thanks for straightening the keys. :) The "paint by numbers" build is a fantastic project for you and the Clark to share. It is amazing how realistic and intricate these sets are...thanks for sharing this in a stream...enjoyed chatting with the frequent offenders. Have a great Saturday with Cody and the Clark and company. :)

    Definitely a good choice keeping it sealed, esp if you don't keep,collect the modulars, that brick link program set value might shock you as well

  • @bricklover2258
    @bricklover2258 10 месяцев назад +1

    I honestly say that once a set retired, it's an investment for me, especially if I don't have space or something better or more important that came out to fill its display spot.

    • @brickitect
      @brickitect  10 месяцев назад

      Yep. That's a good philosophy

    • @bricklover2258
      @bricklover2258 10 месяцев назад

      @brickitect That has happened with the 1989 batmobile for me. I got it for my 21st birthday a few years ago. Then, last year, I finally got Indiana Jones sets and am a big fan of the movies. Ever since I was young, I knew both batman 1989 sets were staying sealed going forward. I have built the minifig scale 1989 batmobile, though, and loved it, and the minifig scale 1989 batwing is in my backlog.

    • @JasonGN2045
      @JasonGN2045 9 месяцев назад

      My problem is that I like to wait until a set is closer to retirement before buying b/c I can often find them discounted. But if it sits in my backlog queue too long and the value has gone up, I don't want to open it. But if I find a set at a deep enough discount, sometimes I buy two -one to build and one to keep sealed as an investment :)

    • @bricklover2258
      @bricklover2258 9 месяцев назад

      @JasonGN2045 That was my plan with the lego ideas sesame street set but I never found a 2nd one on sale ever. Only just got the 1 I have a year before it retired.

  • @memyselftheone
    @memyselftheone 10 месяцев назад +1

    While I enjoy the longer format, to me the jump between days still feels a bit off. Maybe you could make little 'day bumpers' to go in between those sections? It might just be me though who's having this issue.

    • @brickitect
      @brickitect  10 месяцев назад +1

      Sometimes it’s days, sometimes it’s hours or minutes. I do the fades between significant movements in time/changes in subject matter. It’s the best way as it’s not super disruptive like a bumper would be. I like to think of these as a continuous journey and not a day by day accounting.

    Greg, If you turn Ninjago city Docks around 180 degree, you will see that all the signs and shops lines up perfectly with the Original set. You can ofcorse has it anyway you want, I just want to inform you that you has it backwards. I commented about it in the last vid (6 days late, I know) . Not sure you read it so Im commenting again.

    • @brickitect
      @brickitect  10 месяцев назад

      Very interesting! I went with the way it is always shown as an independent set and even on the front of the box. After reading your comment, I did some searching and you’re right! It does look better spun around when connected together. I’m going to rotate mine. Thank you!

    You tried your hardest but man, replacing the Parisian Restaurant with the typewriter is rough! Don’t sell it though, it’s a great set and build whenever you do decide!

    • @brickitect
      @brickitect  10 месяцев назад

      Believe it or not, if both were sitting on a shelf at the store, I would buy the typewriter first. I’m more interested in unique builds of realistic objects than Modulars. In fact, the last one I built was the police station and I think I’m going to sell it. I like having cool pieces on my shelves as opposed to buildings, but to each their own. People with cities have no need for a typewriter. Luckily LEGO makes both and we can follow our interests.

      Random question for you. I relate to you as an AFOL more than anyone else on RUclips that I’ve found (work, family, son, lots of Lego, sell some stuff). I have an almost 5 year old boy with autism and ADHD that I’ve attempted getting into Lego a few times, however he just ends up throwing it/destroying it. Obviously every situation/kid is different but I’m curious when it clicked for Clark?

    • @brickitect
      @brickitect  10 месяцев назад +1

      He started playing with sets I built when he was 2. Then he got into Duplo and we’ve been going ever since. I’m sure each kid is different and it will happen when he’s ready.
