You can download an app from Bricklink called Studio - and if you have the .io plans, load em up and go step by step through the build. The app is tightly integrated with Bricklink so you click like two buttons and search for folks who have the piece you want.

Before that I was doing it the hard way - onto the Bricklink site, create a want list manually search for the bricks you want.

I,ve bought maybe 8 x shaped pillars.
A 2 by 4 brick, a few 2by 2 bricks to get the height then two 2x6 planks. And two 2x2 squares.

And then a simple U. 2x2 bricks and a 2x8 brick.

Pic will help here ...



Edit - the piece I was missing was the custom red one of these. Ordered 10 grey ones from BL for like $4

This is getting out of hand!!

It’s like 5 foot tall on the kids 1ft tall building table.

I reckon I’m 2/3rds through the build with maybe 1—2 floors left to go.

 

Almost there!!!!

 

How tall is that? 2 Meters? Wow. Did not expect this

 

The rocket is a meter.

 

I know, but a door is 2m and it looks that it is as high as The door in the picture.

Ah, maybe it is a window and standing on a table and not on the floor.

 

Crikey me that's incredible, lego has come a long way since I was a kid !

 

Looks like Lego will introduce a new set, the ISS.. Should be release the beginning of February:

I wish Lego would do the Space Shuttle properly.

 

@BatDad , that thing is awesome!!


I had this set when I was 7 years old and thought I was the man

 

Have you still got it?? Just looked at current eBay listings, prices are crazier than Rolex! Wonder what the Saturn V will be worth in 20-30 years...

 

Unfortunately not. I wasnt about collecting them and I had a huge bin where all the pieces went afterwards.

 

Lots of people are speculating on Legos now. The Saturn V was announced as a limited run... its still in production and there are a lot out there.

not sure if there is a profit in LEGO speculation anymore.

 

Good thing for me, cause I like to play with my legos and wear my watches. Neither were or are purchased for profit Haha.

 

For the "no assembly required" folks, this might be of interest...

This it DEFINITELY of interest.
Something that is also definite? My wife not letting me put that ANYWHERE in our house...

 

A modern day "major award". It probably comes in a crate marked, what's the phonetic pronunciation? Oh, yes: fra-gee-lay.

 

Unrelated but related, today LEGO has the introduction of the third exclusive car. The Lambo is great.
