Bone glue for the bone glue god!

I didn't know what to make of that Hogwarts flag. The builders must be aware, right?

There was some good irony with all the lgbtq flag hearts displayed right next to a HW shield as well 😔

It frustrates me that they find a place for HP castles and all their own 3-in-1 castles, but can't get their own space IP in alongside SW.

I want to say "What is it about SW that sucks the air out of that space? " but it's too many unintentional puns.

Not even a dog lover but this is amazing 😂

Blue Wave @votebiue.bsky.social · Aug 26

For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.

Yeah, and I love all of Majisto's comments in the instructions.

And done! OMG it only just fits on my shelf, had to swap the tallest flag down to a lower turret 😂 Looks great with the rest of the village. Definitely lived up to all the hype about this set.

Selling on www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/c... for ~$60 so doesn't seem like a good deal unless you're making bets on the price when it's retired...

What was the first video game that scared you?

It doesn't have to be a horror game. Maybe you didn't even play it -- plenty of ads freaked me out as a kid.

Aha, there we go. Was scrolling the thread waiting for something to jog a memory. All these fancy 90s era graphics had nothing on this *horror*.

Ah that's epic! Good work! I really like the lights, they make a big difference.

Ok I thought the hinged wall but was the best mechanism in this set, then I thought it was the drawbridge, but I think this squishy ratchet is my favorite now! Nearly done!

Lego ratchet mechanism for a portcullis. It has a squishy rubber piece that keeps a lever in place against a gear until you lift it.

Thanks! Ok, I can't justify buying that set just for a head 😂 To Bricklink!

I'll second the 3-in-1 suggestions! The flowers can be a bit repetitive, but they're gorgeous! Lego have broadened their lines a load recently - any others intersect with your interests? Animal Crossing? F1? Architecture? www.lego.com/en-us/themes

Just finished Arranger by @furnimatgames.bsky.social , I really enjoyed it! Been playing on my phone via Netflix games and it tickled my puzzler brain. It's a great variation on the block pushing/sliding navigation game with fun twists and a cute story too. play.google.com/store/apps/d...

I was right! I love this technique. The DnD castle used something similar, and it's such a smart approach to get fun angles and variation in steps.
