Building the LEGO Research Institute

Hey folks! As you can see, some of my posts are missing images and links due to some host issues I experienced recently. I'm working through getting those corrected as quickly as I can. However, if you are looking at a page you'd like me to correct sooner rather than later, drop me a line with the title of the blog post and I will move it up in my list of fixes to make. Thanks for your help!

I mentioned a few posts ago I received the LEGO Research Institute on Shop@Home for my birthday. The other day, I finally got a chance to build it out. If you haven’t seen the set up close, here are a few photos of the builds:

LEGO Research Institute Box

LEGO Research Institute Manual

I liked that the booklet came with English, Spanish and French explanations combined. Made it feel much more substantial and special than the general LEGO booklets.

 

Meet the Chemist… She has awesome speciality beakers I haven’t seen in any other sets.

 

Meet the Paleontologist… I was in love with the dinosaur bones. That was such an interesting build… I especially liked they way a pair of binoculars was used to build the microscope.

 

LEGO Research Institute Astronomer

The Astronomer’s telescope was another favorite of mine in this build. The use of the sextant, lightsaber hilt and bucket was ingenious.

They’re presently sitting on top  of my computer.

Is it bad of me I don’t share these with The Little Brick? They’re my toys… mine!
