Anyone else obsessed?

What’s your favourite set?

What’s top of your wishlist??

My favourite is my haunted house and I really want the Disney castle and the titanic

I bought the Vespa just because groot fits on there…then I also had to buy groot

I’ve still got all the kids star wars sets from when they were little as well as all the other things but they’re all broken up into tubs. I doubt they’ll ever get sorted.

I got the Dune ornithopter for my birthday, last year.

It's the most complicated thing I've ever built and it was a joy.

The thing I loved most about it, oddly enough, was the sheer effort that must have gone in to designing, engineering and manufacturing it.

Small beer compared to restoring a car, or a boat, or a plane - but I know my limitations. 🙂

Loved it when I was a kid, don’t have much of a collection anymore (parents took all of it when they went to France, still annoyed at that)

Love the display pieces want to save up for the black panther bust.

Would it be cheeky to ask to actually see your lego display?

There's just something about building lego, takes you out of the adult zone and makes you feel like a kid again.

I used to have the big red bucket of random Lego bricks like I imagine most kids in the 80s and 90s did.

I used to prefer Meccano though. It had bolts and screws so it wouldn't get obliterated if you accidentally knocked your build off the table, kits often came with quite powerful DC motors and the metal parts were electrically-conductive, so I felt like you could do more with Meccano if you went off-script.
