@Toastie @Wookiee @supertruper1988. @Jim. Thank you for your understanding. I appreciate your support. (..and who says a Wookie can't be reasonable? :-) ) Here's every set that I've identified that makes up Emmet's mech. I suppose I could also add 9457 Fangpyre's Wrecking Ball to this list as well...

@DEFCON SHARK I've been hesitant to put my files out there for several reasons. The ones that I post for others are on the first page of this topic. @Toastie Thanks so much for your kind words! I always enjoy seeing that other people appreciate the LEGO Movie as much as I do. I'm not sure how much more I can keep up the pace at which I have been posting images, but I'll keep going as long as I can. @BlockLogo There could be any number of spinoffs topics from this one! For now, I'm keeping it limited to the LEGO Movie. The next one I'll do is for the Old West. I may have one more spinoff in me after that. Here's a comparison between Emmet's mech in the movie and the official LEGO set: 70814 Emmet's Construct-o-Mech = 675 pcs Emmet's Movie Mech = 3979 pcs (so far) The full size mech has almost 6 times the number of parts as the official set and is 2 1/4 times taller. Coming next: The official sets that make up Emmet's mech.

@DanK Thanks for the posts--and welcome to Eurobricks! I always appreciate folks who are interested in building based off of these posts. I hope you and your son are able to pull it off! It's a lot bigger than the official set. @BlackStar I look forward to your updates! @DEFCON SHARK I've been hesitant to publish all of my models. The ones that I have made available are on the first page of this topic. Also, all of the official LEGO modular sets are available in LDD in the "LEGO Digital Designer and other digital tools" forum on this site. Look for "[KEY TOPIC] Official LEGO Sets made in LDD". Here's a rough first pass at the mech. It still needs an internal structure, the "bones" in the upper arm are not attached, and the hip joints are purely for looks and alignment purposes (they won't hold any weight). But for now, at least it looks good! .lxf file: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Xon67/Movie/movie_emmetsmech_2017-07-20.lxf

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen--and a great MOC. It looks great with the night time lighting.

@BlackStar @STeNCH The upper arms are done. The half beam "bones" aren't attached well. That will need to be addressed. We have to figure out the shoulder and hip attachments. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated! .lxf file: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Xon67/Movie/movie_emmetsmech_2017-07-13.lxf

@ColletArrow Thanks! All of the greeblies are very asymmetrical, but you can't see it in the movie. It takes looking at the video game to see both sides of the engine. Yes, the track is black in the movie. P.S. You'll be seeing more of the bridge later! @TechnicRCRacer. The boiler is interesting--the bottom of it is studs down. As far as I can tell, everything from the boiler up is "floating" and isn't actually attached. Here's the tender.

@ColletArrow. Thanks! There certainly are a lot of hoses on this, aren't there? If I didn't know how to use the flex tool before doing this, I sure did afterwards! It took a bit of trial and error, but I managed to get everything to go where I wanted it to go. I haven't checked if all the parts are available in the colors used here. My main goal was to reproduce what's shown on the screen without worrying so much about a physical build. I feel that most of these parts exist in these colors, or at least similar shades of gray/black.

The legs are coming together. The ankles and knees are connected in loose hinges--they won't actually support any weight. I have included an alternate "ankle bone" that is stronger than the one used in the assembled legs. Also, the round knee parts on the side don't quite line up to the "mud flaps." .lxf file: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Xon67/Movie/movie_emmetsmech_2017-06-04.lxf The upper arms and legs and their attachment points are turning out to the be most difficult parts to reproduce--which is why they are probably the last items left in the build--and why my brain hurts. There are a couple of frames that show the parts there, but I just can't identify what they are. I'll keep working on it, but we may end up making up these areas entirely.

@NDLG80 That looks great! Now I want to build one for myself! @BlackStar I'll stay away from the torso until you say it's available again. Glad to have you back! @Capparezza I've put a good amount of time in on the game myself. It's a fun one to play. Thanks for the kind comment! I have started another topic in the train forum for the LEGO Movie steam train. The link is available in my signature below. I plan to post final builds of all of the train cars except the caboose (I can't find any good reference images of that car anywhere...). At some point, I'm also going to start an Old West topic in the historic theme forum to post a few different builds. Stay tuned!

This is a project I started as part of the Assembling Bricksburg topic in the LEGO Town forum. @lostdriveway brought it up as something to re-create from the movie and @Electricsteam suggested I post it here in the train forum. So, now that it's done, here it is: As far as I can tell, none of the cars on this train use bogies. Even if they did have bogies, the details on the side of the cars would prevent any of them from turning. All of the buffers are brick built. I'll post more pics soon of the other side of the engine and the other cars--all except for the caboose--the movie never shows it clearly and I can't find any other good references for it.

Hi @KamalMYafi You're welcome to the party at any time! I wonder how many times I've watched The LEGO Movie, too. It's kind of difficult to figure out, since I tend to watch certain scenes over and over again when looking for references! Here's another update to the mech. I placed the hips in the correct location (they are not fully attached at the waist), filled in some gaps in the torso on the shoulders and lower back (the new parts are in dark red to show what changed), and modified the heels on the feet (they are now asymmetrical as seen in the movie). The .lxf file is here on Brickshelf: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Xon67/Movie/movie_emmetsmech_2017-05-18.lxf
