    In russian, there’s a phrase ‘Сейчас вылетит птичка’ ((Once the shutter is open…) The bird will fly out!) to make everyone be prepared for the shot.

    That’s an awesome set; the Polaroid OneStep SX-70 camera.

    It actually has a really neat feature where you can push the red shutter button and it actually pops out a cardboard ‘photo’. They tweaked it to perfection; it doesn’t shoot out fully, but instead sticks out just partly like the real camera. They went through a lot of iterations of that mechanism in order to get it just right.

    It’s an awesome set for photography nerds.

      It is! It’s my first Lego set as an adult, my gf dragged me to the Lego store and she got the Galaxy picture frame while I got this one.

      Building it was a blast, and the latch and release mechanism is really cool! It does have a bit of a flaw IMO with the right side panel at the back of the camera (opposite to the viewfinder) which has a tendency to detach when touched.

      Which set would you recommend I pick up next?

        That’s awesome! I got back into LEGO as an adult in 2012 when they released the first VW camper.

        On mine that panel seems pretty secure, though it is a bit finicky to attach. Might want to check if it’s properly attached.

        Recommendations are tough; LEGO makes so many awesome sets. It also depends on things like budget and space. For example, the Concorde set is awesome, but also quite large.

        Personally, I really like their modular sets. Larger, very detailed buildings like a hotel, jazz club, bank, etc. I’ve collected most of them so far.

        There’s also a lot of cool new soace sets, in addition to the galaxy that you’re familiar with. I’m really looking forward to the lunar rover that’s coming out later this year.

        A good site to follow for LEGO news is Brickset.com. That way you can get a feeling for any future sets that you might like. Some can sell out pretty quickly; lots of us adults love LEGO ;-)
