Finishing the LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon Set #75192

Photo-A-Day #4572

Tonight I went over to Brian’s house to film Built from Bricks. It has been two weeks since I last went over to his place and he had done a ton of work on the Millennium Falcon. He was on the very last bag. I knew this because I had been watching his livestreams as well as his Instagram feed showing his progress. I decided that I would open my own Millennium Falcon and built it with the kids. Mine was considerably smaller than his. His is 7500+ pieces and mine is 696. Mine is also the very first Millennium Falcon that LEGO made back in 2000.

After college I was buying LEGO toys like crazy. I would order them online and have them shipped to me. It was always my intention to save them for when I had kids and when those kids were old enough to play with LEGO and appreciate Star Wars. Back in April we went on a family trip to New Hampshire. I brought along an X-Wing fighter from 2000 and we built that together. It was fun and I was looking for the next set to build.

when Brian originally bought the new Millennium Falcon I dug through my LEGO Star Wars boxes and found my Millennium Falcon. I bought it over to start off the Livestream on the day we worked on the new set for eight straight hours.We opened our last livestream on the set with my completely built Millennium Falcon as a joke. Then we set about finishing the new one. Which happens in the video below.

Here is just a teaser of the Kia Stinger that was modified by West Coast Customs for SEMA 2017. I have been interesed in driving this car ever since I heard about it a ways back. It is getting closer to actual release and I cannot wait to get behind the wheel. If you are lucky enough to be at SEMA this year make sure you check out this custom. Here is more information about it.

Kia has teamed up with West Coast Customs to show off a uniquely-modified version of the Kia Stinger – the brand’s first GT offering – in pure SEMA style. The all-new fastback sedan will tout a number of eye-catching high-performance enhancements including lowered front and rear suspension, a gloss black front grill, a carbon fiber aero kit, 21-inch forged wheels, widebody fender flares, a rear diffuser and squared-off quad exhaust tips , to name a few. And you’ll find a number of exceptional finishes to this Stinger’s cockpit, as well.
