That looks great.  :tu:  My daughter was exactly the right age that we watched Wall-E a LOT over the years.

Got the message this morning that my pre-order for the DeLorean was ready for pick up. So after having popped into Cafe 80s for a Pepsi....

A while back I put a few shelves on the wall in my office. No room for any extra space sets :)
The JWST model is a MOC you can find on Rebrickable. I bought the parts on Bricklink.

We've spent part of the holidays building a fun LEGO layout in our living room :D

I've just finished the track (an oval with one point/switch and a sinding) which was very tedious with all those brown 1x1 and 1x4 tiles.





The rest of the layout is very much a work in progress. It's based on the MILS system which is very, very parts intensive. Example: I've used 1,000 green 4x4 plates and I need a lot more. Same goes for 2x2 bricks.

Lego Christmas train layout,  I'm definitely impressed.
Last year my wife bought me several of the small train sets and I lengthened all the cars and the locomotive and had them on the mantle.

Here is a small sample of the Lego builds I saw at the Lego exhibition in Porto today.  Sorry they are all jumbled up, I am just trying to get stuff uploaded for your viewing pleasure and I am a bit too drunk to try and sort them out.  Stuff will get lost for sure if I start jumping back and forth, so bear with me.

If you see anything you like, let me know as I very likely have more pictures of each, with more detailed or closeup shots.

The website made it look huge, and then when we got in there, it didn't seem quite as big as advertised, and I'll admit, I was a bit disappointed.  But as we went there just kept being more and more and more and more!   :ahhh

The last photo above was to show the kids from South Park were done in two dimensions, which I thought was a brilliant nod to the fact that South Park (at least in the early days) was stop motion animation, and all done with construction paper, which is why it always seemed two dimensional- because it was!

I love the Bumblebee display, showing his robot form, Earth mode (VW Beetle) and his Cybertronian form of a streetlight or whatever the heck he was. 

And yes, I know a man my age should probably know different, more useful things, but there you are.

While all of these were amazing, my favorites were definitely the Clone Wars battle scene (I think that was above?), the TIE fighter from the Mining Guild (remember what I said about knowing useful things?) and this insane 4.5 meter long spinosaurus.   :ahhh

This smurfing thing looked like it was just waiting for us to get just a little bit closer....

Absolutely amazing, and the Hogwarts diorama was pretty awesome too.  Picking favorites wasn't easy, as there were so many amazing sets, including the Leaning Tower of Pisa (about 5 feet high) and giant Tower and Golden Gate bridges.

There are some awesomely talented people in this world!

Yes, all extremely impressive but I agree that the Spinosaurid has to be the icing on the cake.  :o

It really was astounding.

I sent a couple of photos to my nephews to see which one was willing to build me one but so far no takers!

I have to wonder if there is some kind of internal frame or it it's hollow?  A 4.5 meter long Spinosaur is going to be HEAVY no matter what it's made of!

And for those who don't know what 4.5m is, that's about 15 feet.

These two are in the Lego store in Bruges, one is the Bruges belfry, and the other Neuschwanstein Castle, both custom builds, huge and extremely impressive (and detailed)
