Re: The official LOOT topic
Holy crap, someone in my family listened to me for once...
BAT LORD'S CASTLE!!! ^OO^
It is missing a few things - one minifig and a red window frame, but still CLASSIC CASTLE!!!
I spent, like, three hours putting this together last night. Yes, I could have done it faster, but my wife was sleeping on the couch about 7 feet from me and I had to keep quiet about it. I missed these older builds. Kind of makes me want to dig out old instruction manuals and re-build some of them. That said, there is one thing about the new manuals that makes them better than the old ones - they tell you which pieces you need for each step. I had to keep going back and double-checking things in case I missed something. Which I did several time.
I suspect someone at Lego in the late 90's was a fan of the Ultima series of computer RPG's from Origin Online or one of the Ultima designers was a fan of late 90's Lego. The Bat Lord's Castle reminds me of Blackthorne's Castle from Ultima 5. Hidden passage behind a fireplace, hidden passage behind the throne, big columns all over the place, just so much AWESOME.

Re: The official LOOT topic
Seriously, all I want in life is new Castle or Kingdoms sets for MOC fodder. Is that too much to ask for? In the meantime, I shall have to entertain myself with classic sets already in my collection or scrounged from Bricklink or other sources...

I can't claim that the lego table I built is part of my LOOT.
But I got this from my younger brother for this year's brick win:

Re: The official LOOT topic
A lego Saturn V rocket model
I got it to display in my room because it’s awesome, but in addition I can use it as a size 100 rocket. When I opened the box, I was surprised to find it filled to the top with bags of legos, and when I finished it, it stands a meter tall.

Re: The official LOOT topic
I was at Walmart buying underpants and socks.
Socks have been getting thinner and thinner over the years but now they have become transparent.
I can see my skin color thru the material. We are getting closer to one day use socks.
edit:
I just looked at the fabric content:
82% cotton / 14% polyester (2015)
99% polyester (2019)
I also got a Lego Movie character bag.
UniKitty, she comes with two horns and two horn holes.
So she is 100% more horny.
