  1. I’ve ever found one LEGO element type I dislike more than treads; the flexible window.

    (please excuse the dust… I need some more compressed air)

    Mainly it’s the other elements involved with keeping them in place and the tension required sometimes.

  2. Saw the phone for wiskeymedia. A bit after a disembodied transparent head appears. Looks like people in post have some new software they are playing with.

  3. Looks like Will missed the two rods that lock the two halves of the tracks together on both of those front tracks? Norm seemed to have but then in at least. Maybe what all those leftover pieces were.

  4. Wow what a crazy build. Just built the AT-AT over the weekend. That was enjoyable with it mere 1100 pieces. Stay strong guys!

  5. I agree with the curved window comment. I built the firehouse and while the door was not clear it was a pain to get it lined up.

  6. Norm was having serious difficulties with dexterity at the beginning of this episode – but he kept going. Wow, I’m glad I never have to work such long days. But then, I don’t have the energy of youth anymore. I’m really impressed that you both kept going, recording 7 episodes in one day. I’d go mad sitting down for so long.

  7. Guess the designers couldn’t work it, but the back treads are supposed to be stationary, aren’t they? And the front treads, (which Will keeps referring to as the back) I can’t tell if they steer, but it looks like they don’t.

  8. I realize I’m watching this a year after it was filmed (I just signed up), but Norm’s lost wheel is still in the bag.

    Check out part 5 at the 24:40 point, the missing wheel is still in the upper left corner of the bag!

    I apologize if this gets resolved later in the build.

    I sure this is an extremely helpful post!
