Sariel's Bricks & Pets

The 10333 Barad-dûr LEGO set has finally been revealed and I'm... incredibly disappointed. Perhaps the LEGO Rivendell put too much hope in me, but at eye-watering $460 I was expecting more than an ungainly lump of black pieces accompanied by repetitive minifigures...

Next LEGO Ideas set. Thoughts?

I just got the lighting kit that Brickstuff.com kindly built specifically for my TRON Bike project. I think it's safe to say that it was worth the wait.

99% complete. I'm planning to film it in a sand mine next week.

A pretty good way to spend $30 on LEGO: youtube.com/watch?v=3yhKgBrd…

Figuring out the landing gear's angles.

By my deeds I honor him. V8.

Only took me the whole weekend, but here it is. An actual 14-cylinder radial LEGO engine with a variable pitch propeller. Minifigure for scale.

Just enjoying my Friday evening and wishing the same to you.

Pssst kids, wanna see some experiments? youtube.com/watch?v=R2Ibpsfq…

Never thought I would be happy to see yet another LEGO Millennium Falcon set: youtube.com/watch?v=I7Ogv2yk…

It is by my hand you will rise from the ashes of this world.

People: It's such a nice Star Wars spacecraft. Me: It's such a perfect engine cowling parts donor for a B-25 Mitchell.
