You're never too old for Lego.

Came with a Princeton Reverb amp, which I haven't assembled yet.
Here's my old strat for scale:

Nice, my 14 year old daughter and I love Lego.

That's too funny....! Please post a photo of the amp then as well! Brilliant!
That's super cool, but it's going to be a pain to dial in the intonation.

The level of detail in this kit is astounding. I just finished the chassis.

I removed a piece of the reverb tank cover so you can see there really is a spring in there. There are power and output transformers just out of sight behind the three large tubes. Also not visible, that baffle actually has a circular cutout for the speaker.
So many details are now hidden, but I know they are in there.

That's crazy awesome man!
Oh that's just STOOPID!! I love it! Lego is going glass (tubes) now? If the damn thing worked I'd pee my pants...
That is too cool for skool!!! Did you check voltages before firing up? ;)
... can we have some close up shots of those "valves"? And the transformers?
I'm impressed as hell with Lego. My brother finally (a few decades later) bought me a new Lego Castle set to replace the one I had as a kid that he lost half the pieces for.

Sure!
Here's a shot from underneath:

And, here is a closeup of the two types of larger tubes:

I removed some of the tubes to give a better view of the transformers:

There's actually three transformers. I didn't capture the smallest very well in my pics, so here is the illustration in the instructions:

I also want to show this detail, entirely hidden as soon as the control panel is attached:

Those gray humps are the potentiometer bodies.
One of the lego designers has to be a serious guitar DIY geek, no other explanation :)
One of the tubes is red plating, maybe the screen resistor is gone....? Maybe bad tube? ;)
Just kiddin' super stuff and yes one of the designers must be a vintage amp and guitar nerd. 10 outta 10.
My son built his own Lego kit that begged for another photo.
