    I ended up ordering The Milky Way Galaxy since it was on sale and I believe retiring this year.  It is backordered, so it will be my irresponsible purchase of the month, next month.  I'll post some pics when it arrives and is completed.  I got The Wave wall art last year and it looks pretty good so I'm hoping for similar results.

    Nice collection!  Have you ever knocked Van Gogh off his extension?

    I'm looking forward to the galaxy and have a perfect spot picked out for hanging it.

    Van Gogh has not fallen, he is up high enough out of the way.

    I do keep knocking the nose off of the Apollo rocket which I should move.

    I have yet to hang the Milky Way and Sunflowers. 

    You will enjoy the Milky Way, although pretty much all single or 2x pieces.  A cool Easter egg for you to discover also

    Yeah, I'm expecting my fingers will be sore with all those little pieces ... probably do it in sections over a week to not disrupt my guitar playing.  The Lego App will be great for building this one. 

    Maybe I will do an Etsy search to see if anyone has created bionic Lego finger devices yet ...

    Milky Way is complete!   Took just over 20 hours.  The modular build helped break it up into a manageable build and I didn't find it frustrating.  The Lego App helped big time and I think I only made a few mistakes that I immediately figured out.  I hope to get it hung this weekend.  This would be a good group build due to the modular design.  Here is a side view of the "chaos" up close ..

    Did you like the alien 👽?

    Supposed to glow in the dark also

    Yeah, the alien is a cool touch.  I like the Gaia space telescope as well.  

    I would probably get a 2nd set if I could get it for 50% off just for the parts.

    Looks good!  Interesting to look at from up close and far away.  The "earth" glows in the dark, but I didn't notice much else.
