Harassment
We have a zero tolerance policy on harassment here at r/lego. Any users promoting the harassment of individuals involved, innocent or guilty, will be banned from the subreddit. This includes identifying anyone's phone number, email address, home or work address, even if that information is otherwise public record. Do not share it here.
Do not accuse anyone in the comments, including r/lego moderators, of working for any parties involved. Those comments will be removed as uncivil under Rule 4. Insults and accusations are not allowed in this community. Due to the overwhelming amount of harassment occurring, we will now be strictly enforcing this rule, including bans if necessary.
Community Interference aka Brigading
A reminder that brigading is not tolerated and results in permanent bans. If you call out for harassment, or coordinate interference of, any other community via r/lego, you will be banned. We are Lego fans, not an angry mob.
We do not support, condone, encourage or approve in any way of scams, theft, harassment or of police misconduct. We are providing a platform for all sides and supporters of this ongoing controversy to have a discussion. Moderators are not directly involved, so comments about moderation will continue to be removed per Rule 1. Send that feedback to modmail instead. We read all modmail!
We are not employees of any of the following organizations: Reddit, The Lego Company, Bricks & Minifigs, The Mormon Church, or any involved police department. We don't accept bribes from any of them (or anyone). We are volunteers moderating this community in our free time. Accusations to the contrary will be removed under Rule 4 and will earn a ban.
This is my scaled down version of Bikini Bottom. I think the official set which was revealed last week looks really cool. For anyone who wants something a bit smaller and more affordable, the instructions for this build are available for free on Rebrickable.

They had a few Easter bunny sets and a lot of floral sets for cheap.

I got this compass in a pirate set as a kid. I found it a couple of days ago and remember my father explaining how compass works. I think today is the first time I realy appreciate this piece. I find it interesting that Lego cared enough to make a working compass.

A few years ago, I decided I wanted to attempt French Quarter style buildings, specifically to see if I could do something approaching reasonable with the ironwork. I do like the result, though I need to work on some improvements.
(My pictures were kind of rushed, so some of the random details are a little wonky, like the flags, but I fixed things before displaying.)

I absolutely loved this build. I love how modular it is and it's really cool how many Minifigures it comes with and the detail!

The sausage piece is easily the most useful food part offering a gradual continuous angle change but the pin connection sausage ends are usually an unwanted detail. Here they are useful to represent Wugtrio's nose.

Shoutout to Bricker Builds design! 13 sessions, 25 hours, and 4400 pieces later. Chips ahoy cookie for size comparison (no bananas in the house).

Used the figures from the Lego 43264 set and created this little 12x12 #ToyStory scene from Andy's room.
