If I counted right, there are 63 gears! I enjoyed seeing how the door mechanisms in this set (and the previous in the supercars series, the Ferrari and Lamborghini) work.

Olá, usando o Google Tradutor, espero que funcione para você. Eu faço os vídeos com lapso de tempo para dar uma visão rápida da construção de um cenário. Infelizmente, não tenho uma boa maneira de obter um ângulo de câmera que mostre a construção com mais detalhes. Obrigado pelo comentário, pensarei nisso no futuro. --- Hello, using Google Translate, I hope this works for you. I do the time-lapse videos to give a quick view of building a set. Unfortunately, I don't have a good way to get a camera angle that would show the build in more detail. Thanks for the comment, I will think about it for the future.

@@lego-redhat Obrigado pela resposta. Gosto de ver seus vídeos.

​@@lego-redhat O que eu quis dizer com o comentário inicial, é que o time-lapse do vídeo, poderia ser um pouco mais longo, quando for possível, claro, assim a gente aprecia melhor sua construção. É só uma sugestão construtiva.

They add to the techniques and parts with each new car - this one has a larger gearbox than what I remember from the previous supercar sets for example (it doesn't start with the same gears-inside-a-frame). So in that way, the newest one is always "best" for me, because I enjoy seeing how the design works as I build it. Plus the "best" is the one I just built, up until I build another set! 😁

Heh, I mainly only know my build times because of the videos. Too impatient to stop and make notes! 😂

It's a fun set! LEGO made a couple of mistakes that I hope they fix - the display stand information has a mistake (that's why I didn't stick the sticker) - it says "Time to orbit: 3 minutes, 40 seconds", which would be incredibly fast (it's actually 8 minutes, 20 seconds). Also, one of the side notes in the build instructions says that the RS-25 engines provide the attachment point for the boosters, which is just wrong (the boosters attach to the core stage).

Thanks! I keep having to rearrange to make space when I get a new set. :)

Ahh, thanks - good catch. Fixed!

I worked on it for 14 hours over 3 days. It was fun!

Heh, same! I do go too fast and make mistakes sometimes (just one in this one), but it's because I enjoy it and get going and don't want to slow down.

Not a hater or anything, but with experience in making videos and stuff this is isnt hard to do. Again not hating but all you have to do is time lapse yourself building a set for fun, he definitely didnt buy the set just for the video, and than over the recording you just add a voiceover.

Heh, time-lapse is great! I don't think anybody would be very interested in a 3 hour long video of the real build. :) This build did still go pretty quick though, over 11 pieces per minute.

Thanks! While the Rivendell set looks great, it doesn't fit with any of my existing themes, and I don't think I have display space to start a new theme (I don't REALLY have display space for the sets I build!). :) I enjoy building the big sets - I need to find someone who enjoys displaying them but not building and will let me build them!

I tend to get these big sets on "release day" at LEGO.com, so that's full retail plus tax (think this one was about $600).

Since it's sped up/time-lapse, I don't typically even record an audio track while I build (and I also don't usually play any music or anything while I build). I don't know what I'd say if I tried to add a voice-over...

@@lego-redhat He means adding music to the video so it's not completely silent and less boring

I'll see what I can do... it's spread around the whole house. :) But that does sound like a good idea for hitting 300 subscribers!

Good luck! I'm kind of the same way, I just really enjoy building the sets with lots of pieces. And they didn't have sets this big when I was 9 (although I started with LEGO when I was about 4-5 I think), so you're lucky. :)

Well, it's the tablecloth I have... wasn't trying to color-coordinate it with my LEGO sets. :)

I estimate it weighs almost 20 pounds. Also, you must pick it up in a pretty specific way to avoid breaking it (the last steps of the instructions are "how to lift"). I do have to move it, the Star Destroyer, the AT-AT, and now the X-Wing UCS sets from time to time though, because they are typically on display on the table I use for LEGO building (seen in most of my other videos with the red tablecloth).

Enjoy it! I have mine sitting next to my classic 8844 Helicopter from when I was a kid (my second favorite set from back then).

R2 is there! He's in his spot behind the cockpit.

@@lego-redhat my apologies, my eyesight! Great video anyway. How long did it take IRL?

Three and a half hours... it was a quick build really. The wings were each slightly different, but once I did one, the other three went fast. I made one mistake that barely shows up in the time-lapse video, had one piece backwards that kept the nose from going on all the way (you can briefly see me take the nose off and put it back).

The video was so fast I didn't notice the mistake. I've just finished building Thors hammer, really solid model. You should try that but its only about 2 hours to build so would be a short video. Love the videos. Next up for me is the back to the future Delorean.

Heh, I really love the big sets! Being able to just tune out the world and focus on building for a while is great for me.

I enjoy building, and once I start, I get going and don't want to slow down. I did actually split this across two nights, about 3 hours one night and 1 hour the next.

@@lego-redhat Thats cool

Good point! Maybe I'll add a loop of LEGO white noise next time. :) Recording the actual audio with a time-lapse video doesn't work out unforunately.
