3 hours for a Rockoh T3. Found it on clearance at Wal-Mart in 2011 and begged my mom for it. Though I was only 11.

[Ultimate Sybre]

For BIONICLE, 2008 Takanuva. And just minutes after that, I had to construct Vultraz's entire vehicle for my brother.

 

As for LEGO, Boba Fett's 2006 Slave 1. I bought it in the afternoon and finished it near bedtime (which was 8:00 at that time). I missed dinner so mom gave me a hotdog as I kept working. Good times.

[~garnira returns~]

Axalara T9.  That moment when you realised you used one wrong length piece right in the middle, and have to take it apart again after building most of it.

 

Not a pleasant moment, I can tell you.

This. Exactly.

[AdaptingChaos]

The longest set I had to build was the Piraka Stronghold I had to complete it in 2 days. Just recently I built Vezon and Kardas with my 3 sets and it took me the entire day because I was looking for the parts!

Dont worry, your not the only one who would've done that

[Enax the epic]

I remember that Takanuva's vehicle took me a couple of hours to build when I first got it. (Cut me some slack, people. I was four.)

[Dual Matrix]

Makuta Nui, of course you missed the fact you got jaller and pewku too and built the sets normally, then you see you actually got him too and for the awesomeness of makuta nui you have to take them apart Three days.

[Kaanfight]

Toa underwater assault, I was quite young at the time and it amazes me as I am re building it how wrong I built it!

 

Other than that NIdihki or Sidorak

[Takua Dragonstar7]

There was also this one set(forgot which one) that I messed up on one piece and had to take apart like half the thing to fix it.

[christo1096]

For me, cahdok and gahdok sets are take longest time to build because consist of a lot of technic parts

[Liopleurodon]

Out of any of my Bionicle sets, either Muaka and Kane-Ra or the Jetrax.

 

Out of any of my Lego sets, the Portal of Atlantis.

[Kranan: Rider of Rohan]

Mine was the Toa Mahri Matoro set. Of course it took me a long time build it. I was only 6 at that time.

[Clue: The Traitor]

I'm guessing Mahri Matoro. Or Lewa Nuva. I didn't collect much BIONICLE sets that time.

[---Kopaka Nuva---]

Toa Ignika's Skyboard which i bought back in 2008. That middle section of the skyboard with the required correct placement of the matoro mahri shoulderpad was really frustrating

.
I spent most of the night trying to figure it out and had to leave it unfinished overnight.
I later just kept the piece on a hole where it wouldn't interfere with the rest of the build.

 

Later at some point i dismantled it in 2010 and later i built it correctly in February this year, it was that tricky for me and with the old decision that i had planned to never attempt to rebuild it because of too much hassle over that one piece.

[Mairanui]

Rockoh T3. It is the only vehicle bionicle I have

[Terminus24]

Never had much difficulty with any sets, but the set that took me the longest to build was Axonn, simply due to the fact that about five or so important pieces were missing from the box, and I had to wait for the parts to come from Lego.

[Strack]

Takanuva 2008 version. it took me one hour, if I remember correctly. honestly, it never really takes me long to build sets. with the new sets that have been coming out lately, it takes me about 5 minutes without instructions.

[takua123]

When skopio has 4 identical legs, it gets a bit tedious.

[archivist_66]

Brutaka in 2006. My second Titan took me three hours to build it.

[Phantom Terror]

Bionicle-wise, had to be Vezon. The head was freakin crazy to put together! System-wise: Exo force Sentai Fortress. Afterwards, I was like: "Wait, there's an alt. model too!?!"

[GBV]

Actually, Vezon & Kardas was very challenging.

[Tahmira]

For me it was the Axalara T9 set...atleast the most frustrating one was...but the longest one so far was the battle of Metru Nui set it took me two days strait to build that sucker.

[Atamai]

When I was younger I had trouble with the Ussanui, however I believe that was my first large set. Axalara T9 took me a while, but I had no problems with it.

[gunconvoy]

When i was younger, it was the titan sets of 2002, like the Exo Toa and the Queens. I had to have my dad help me build them.

 

I think i had some trouble with the bird that Jaller came with.

 

After that i kind of easlly built the rest. Granted i stop getting the real big ones after 2006. So i wouldn't know how hard it would be to build say the vechicals in 08 and what not.

 

But for the longest build, all the titans took a while. But one of them took extra long. It was the boxor, i accidentally did the alt build instead of the set build. So i had to take it a part a build it again.

[Darth Jaller]

Hardest; at the time, I have to admit, it was the Boxor vehicle. Bear in mind that I had only just turned eleven at the time, but all those little gears in it confused me no end back then XD;;

 

Longest, definately Cahdok and Gahdok. This was maybe six years after they came out, so I wasn't that young anymore, but if that wasn't a tedious process... you build one big, time-consuming monster; then when you've finished, you find you have to repeat EXACTLY THE SAME PROCESS with her twin. Not what I'd call fun.

[Kazi the Matoran]

Hardest: Nidhiki. His legs took me a while to figure out, especially the rubber things worked

Longest: Maxilos and Spinax. Maxilos' construction was very complex, so I took extra care and time in putting him together, because if I hadn't I know I would have messed something up and had to backtrack.

[Kopekemaster]

Vezon and Fenrahk took a while, I think. But I don't think it was particularly hard to build.

[-Jaller-]

Vezon and Fenerak, took me two hours, I was eight at the time.

[Architect]

the Axalara takes the award for both longest build time and most difficult build. took me a good hour and a half or more, and i made several mistakes that i had to go back and undo. the Ussanui and the Boxor were both real pains to build as well, though the end result of the latter was definitely worth it.

[~ShadowBolt~]

The Boxor.  But then again, I was 7-8 at the time.

[Madara: Mangekyou Master]

I remember having to rebuild the Gukko Bird a couple times. The flapping mechanism. XD 

[Toa Solaran]

I would say the Exo-Toa was probably the one that took me the longest to build. At the time, the most complicated set I had built was Pohatu, and that's only because of how his torso was upside-down compared to the other Toa. The hardest, was probably my first set, Lewa. I had difficulty identifying which pieces the instructions were referring to, at times.

[Mairanui]

For Bionicle, Rohko T3. (I don't remember how long it took me, somewhere in the vacinity of 2-3 hours.) For Lego, the Hogwarts Express. (Again, I don't remember how long it took me.)

[Driskull]

Baranus took the longest as it was my first vehicle set.

[AdaptingChaos]

Baranus took the longest as it was my first vehicle set.

lol i know what you mean, it was my first vehicle set too, so it took a while as well

but the piraka stronghold took me a couple of day due to me being younger and never experiencing builds with system pieces. It was also my very first playset
