Building the LEGO Retro Record Player
Player
Vinyl
Finished construction
The finished build is actually pretty cool and makes for an eye-catching display on a desk or shelf. It looks the part given that it is a smaller-scale LEGO model made with 300-odd parts.
The main negative is that it's a GwP with a high threshold so inevitably some folks who want it will not get it. The other negative for me is the thick vinyl, with a disappointing design on the print. Since these are exclusive prints, I think they could have been a bit more fun and vibrant.
