This is an upgrade to my custom LEGO MOC which was based on the excellent LEGO Sanctum Sanctorum (76108) set. I loved my original version of this moc, but the extra floor and size make such a huge – literally – difference to what I could do. Watch the video for a tour of this upgraded LEGO MOC. In the next video, I’ll be showing you the interior.

About this LEGO Toy Video:
The Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown set was a set I got for Father’s Day a year ago and I’ve waited to build this MOC for so long. I’ve been itching to do it but really wanted to wait until I was confident I could get it just right! I think I did a good job.

This MOC is actually based off of two of the LEGO Sanctum Sanctorum (76108) sets combined with the smaller 76060 set which features some interesting play features which I’ve incorporated throughout this MOC.

The details include a Grand Staircase, Angled corner, interior furniture, a bathroom (important for the minifigures!), and lots more!

This is a quick tour of the MOC and I’ll be doing a full review/breakdown soon!

Let me know what you think in the comments.

It’s black Friday, the AT-AT is out and it’s time to chill out with some friends and build LEGO whilst drinking beer and talking about random things like Bluey, AT-ATs and what we might buy in the double VIP weekend.

It’s been a while since I shared a Bricklink haul and thought I’d get back into the habit. This one originally started to supplement the parts that LEGO didn’t have in the Bricks & Pieces store when I ordered from them. But then the store had a sale and some very, very nice parts. I’m such a sucker for LEGO bricks!

About this LEGO Ideas project and Stargate:
Stargate was a science-fiction phenomenon, launched in 1994 with a summer blockbuster movie, and followed in 1997 with the long-running TV series Stargate SG-1. Spin-off shows Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe built on the extensive mythology, along with a couple of TV movies, animated series, and web series.

To mark the forthcoming 25th anniversary of the start of the first TV show, I’ve created this minifig-scaled display piece, composed of the Stargate itself, along with the famous gangway located in the secret complex inside Cheyenne Mountain…

Included with this set are six minifgures representing Colonel Jack O’Neill, Captain Samantha Carter, Teal’c, and Dr Daniel Jackson. The other two are Jaffa warriors, holding brick-built staff weapons. six minifigs for 850 pieces, that’s a ratio of 142:1 which is much higher than the LEGO Ideas Tron Legacy set which stood at 77:1 (3 figs for 230 parts) – this is definitely not a minifig-only submission 🙂
