Hello GEMS Community 😁
Hope you all doing great during these festive times! Best wishes to everyone 😎
This is my first post in this community and I chose to post here today because I think that what I am going to show you today is a true gem, a beautiful piece of LEGO that at every age is fun to mount and even play with, why not 🤣
I had so much fun taking all these pictures and I felt a bit like a kid while sitting on the floor setting up the characters and the LEGO set for the pictures, I definitely had a great time!
Post background + My past few days
Before wasting any more time let's dive in immediately in the action with 2 great pictures and some background story about this post and what happened in my last few days! Hope you won't get too bored 😜
Few days ago (maybe weeks now lol) I met @captainquack22 here on the blockchain and I remember checking out this post of his about some of the LEGO part of his collection, we had a quick chat and I remember him asking me to drop a picture of my Millennium Falcon, I was out at the time and I couldn't but I did thank him as he had just given me a great idea for a post, which is this one I'm doing now about this LEGO beauty!
@captainquack22 Because the chat with you gave me the idea for this post I decided to set you as a 10% Beneficiary 😎 Let's share some LEGO love!
I said that I would post it the following day, and then everything happened lol, I forgot I had 2 crazy long shifts at work, 8-23 on Saturday and 8-18 on a Sunday and even if I had a lot of spare time over my hands in the office I did not have the pictures of the set 😓
I spent the weekend engaging on Hive and I had some crazy fun time, I met a lot of people and for my great surprise I arrived 14th on the Hive Engagement League and 1st on the Italian Engagement, Wow, I couldn't believe it! Thanks to all! 😎🙏
Sunday evening I came back home and my girlfriend just tested positive for Covid on a lateral flow test, quickly she ordered the PCR test for the next day and I went to post it for her, the next day I too tested positive on a lateral test, ordered the PCR for me and did it and posted (I went super covered and masked to avoid spreading it to anyone 🙏 and just posted the test and came back home, luckily the post box is 25 metres from my house!)
The first 2-3 days we really felt bad, I mean not very bad, but it was kind of a very bad flu, at times random pain everywhere, my head felt like a jelly and it would hurt at every movement, I do not have nor had any cough luckily, my girlfriend had a bit of cough but nothing crazy, she is strong and seems to resists to the illness very well 😁 she gets a bit worse in the evenings but no one of us had any problems with breathing, we feel much better today and hopefully the worse is behind us!
Finally today feels easier doing things so I'm trying to get this post done and spend some time on some of the bits I wanted to get done during these days but I had to postpone due to covid.
This pictures is my girlfriend's favourite!
Some info about this set and LEGO
This beautiful set it's an incredible gift that my girlfriend gave me for my birthday in 2019, I loved this gift and immediately as I received it we started mounting it! Great time, it took us around 5-6 hours and one day we're definitely going to do it again to give it also a proper clean!
It's a great piece that we keep in display in our living room, close by the TV 😎 If I had the money I'd buy so many lego sets ahahah Like a kid!
She loves Batman so first thing would be to buy this wonderful batmobile. This one is not even that dear, so one day maybe I'll be able to buy it with some Hive earnings, who knows 😁
In the title I mentioned that this is the only LEGO set I own today as an adult, I think at some point all the LEGO I had my parents simply decided to give them away, I have a younger brother and by the time he stopped playing with LEGO I was out doing all sorts of crazy and stupid stuff, you know we've all been young and stupid ahah good times, so I do not even remember what exactly happened with all the LEGO I had!
Thinking about it now I guess it would have been cool to have kept them all but it also feels good to know that somene else had fun with them, maybe some other kid had some good childhood memories with the same pieces me and my brother had! How cool is that? 😎
You can spend so many hours playing with this 😂 Look at all the characters that you have in it! Also the gun equipped to Chewbacca shoots! 🔫
The Millennium Falcon also has 2 "missiles" equipped that shoot when you click with your finger in a specific place! Pretty cool! Definitely brings out the kid in you, lol
The Team and some Friends
Extra 2 Star Wars NON-LEGO Friends
These 2 are 3d Model Puzzles, quite fun to do and very very easy to damage 😅 These 2 as well are gifts from my girlfriend, she is really sweet and I love her so much ♥️ I'm trying to get her here on Hive, hopefully in few days/weeks she'll join us 😂
