Shoot. I forget to give you all one of these at the Q3 meeting! The lug received 36 of these sets. The inventory managers decided the best use for these would be to give everyone one in the heart of a build challenge. Using only the parts from this set, build something else. Doesn’t matter the theme or size.
I’ll try to take a bunch to brickfest live for people to pick up too. let me know here if you want to make sure you get one! first come first serve – once they’re gone, then you can participate by finding out what parts are in it and sourcing them yourself.
[60225] – Rover Testing Drive

Saturday evening I got home from Q3, built the set, and then took it apart and put it all in a slider bag so I can build something for the build challenge later. To make sure I know what’s what – I’m doing a lot of Lego organizing these days and there’s stuff all over the place – I dropped a 3×5 card in the bag with the set information and Q4 written on it, information that I wrote with my brand new Steel City LUG brand(TM) pen!!! You know, the one that was bequeathed to me at Q3. So it’s already getting put to good use 😀 😀 😀

WHAT.
I want one.
Also in for the build challenge.
When’s the Q4 meeting? Presumably on a Saturday I’m unavailable… #MattIsTheNewLaura
Right. You can use as little pieces as you’d like.
The competition will be based on a balanced judge’s opinion of how unique of a design it is from the original intent.
Thanks @legoleia51 I appreciate it. 🙂
This is breaking tradition for build challenges, but I have finished my entry and the photo is attached. If you cannot tell, it is WALL-E and a cube of compacted trash.
If we cannot tell, did you achieve your goal with the build…? 😉
also the filename is WALL-E and is clearly visible in your post, so…
JK, looks great!
I did not use anything that was outside the set. The best might be his eyes, which are hard to see in this photo, I will need to create another pic with better lighting.
Josh, I am interested in participating (this will be my first build!) and if there are any extras sets, I would like to pick up on one Sunday (our time slot is 2:00 to 5:00).
Thanks!

Steve, did you end up grabbing a set?
Anyone else still need one? I have a few of them at my house and Krista took a few up to the northerners.
Here’s my (first?) entry. Maddie helped me with the cat ears.
Adam and I just finished our first build! It was fun, but very challenging to come up with an idea that works. At first, we were thinking of some sort of mecha, but that quickly went out the window once we saw what parts we had to work with. Adam built the body and I added some of the features to make a….jet-powered hydrofoil with water cannons instead. Now we just have to keep it from falling apart before the Q4 meeting. 🙂
Anakin’s pod racer
cool idea! now put the picture into Photoshop and blur all the buckets … or put a mirror in front of them to reflect the table 🙂
Obviously not a challenge entry, I just wanted to build the actual set before I get started. I rarely find myself building with actual instructions these days, so this was a refreshing experience. Building the set also helped me get a better feel for the parts that are available to me in this build challenge. Those of you who have seen some of my prior work might have a pretty good idea where I intend to go with this…we’ll see if I’m able to actually pull it off! Overall, great set and I’m excited to begin working on my alt-build!

That sounds like a laid back LEGO plan for a Friday night for me. Build the set first, get a feel for color proportions and interconnected parts… Might do that after a Burger and Beer jaunt.
@knb112 any chance I can pick up one of these from you? Otherwise I’ll have to break out Studio!
