#KnowingSmile revealed! It was so immensely satisfying to hunt down my old files and go "Okay, where did I leave off?" Literally picking up directly where we left off. Also super-hyped to be working with Chad Thomas again!

Recently, I’ve been getting into reading comic books for the first time ever (except manga). I’m already caught up on the Sonic IDW series. Thought I’d try Udon’s Mega Man X series next.

The Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set is too expensive, and the Pikachu set looks awful, so we settled on Eevee.

After nine days of spending all our free time building, the Lego Millennium Falcon is complete! Overall, it was a frustrating build, which included having to spend a couple of nights rebuilding pieces that fell off. But it looks nice, and I’m glad that it’s done!

Darek Truesdale @darektruesdale.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

The progress so far on the Lego Millennium Falcon. Needless to say, it’s already pretty huge!

Before we take on the 7,541 piece Lego Millennium Falcon, we spent the last three days building the 1,953 piece Lego X-Wing!

Like with the Nintendo NES, I didn’t grow up with the Atari 2600 (it came out almost a decade before I was born). However, I appreciate its place in gaming history, so I absolutely wanted to build its Lego version!
