I'd buy that just to make the taco.

I can't find the other brick thread, but Farmer's post with the taco reminded me of a kit I made for my wife before she retired.

I just saw this on my Google home page.
Never thought of some of those things.

That little burger is pretty neat! As for the gift guide... let's just say the Brick Nerd would label me a "purist."

My daughter got this Millennium Falcon kit for Christmas.  Not one of the super large scale ones but should be fun none-the-less.  This is still going to be a few days in the making.

Still not quite finished the Falcon and have already picked up the Tantive IV set. :D

That's the Falcon finished.  Nice build with some good detail but, if I'm honest, not quite as sturdy as some other things we've done.  Fun though.

The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

It certainly looks pretty darned good to me!  It’s great to see that you and Junior have spent this much time working on it together!

I've seen a number of great alternative builds for that set

I'd seen the Razor Crest but not the other two!  The Ghost is particularly cool.

I don't want to admit it ('cos we can't possibly be that old) but "junior" is 19 years old.  I'm just grateful that she still wants to take pity on dear old Dad and help me with Lego. :D

I nearly bought the set because of the razor crest build... seems more reasonable than the other official sets
