The Official LEGO Thread

My lady is quite into her lego. Shes been buying the sets and has her eyes set out on the deathstar (heavily into star wars too), but its a tad too expensive when you consider everything else she’s been getting hehe

To give an idea of her love for things star wars or LEGO, here is what I commisioned my cousin to paint for her for christmas last year :grinning::

And then this year she’s getting the christmas Toy Shop and the Winter Holiday Train.

Amazingly my mother kept all my Lego from the 80s and 90s. I’ve since handed this to my kid (he’s loving the Lego) and as a result I’m buying Lego again. Mostly at this stage it’s from the Jurassic World sets and the creator line that he’s getting.

Same here. Have a large box ready for my boy to jump into the moment he’s old enough to hold it in his hands (which would be another 3 years or so).

I guess daddy will have to start stocking up and playtest so long…

Random question:

Who here loves Lego? And who has some sets that they want to get rid of?

I am looking for some of the Creator Expert sets if anybody has them lying around…

I LOVE Lego. Proper AFOL here. Sadly, no money to buy it for myself, especially with the building project coming up. I rather buy some smaller sets for my son. Once I’m rolling in dough I’m getting some 18+ sets to adorn my new bookshelf.

Does the “A” stand for adult or ABSOLUTE? :smiley:

Absurd in my case…

I am an ASOL* too.

And I think I just figured out a topic to create for this week…

Well scratch that… it’s already been done. One of the earliest MEW topics, created back in '17 by Master AFOL @FarligOpptreden.

The Official LEGO Thread - Off Topic - Most Epic Win

Will move these posts there…

Such a pity these kind of promotions don’t apply to console editions too.

Yeah I saw that, but we have all the games in that bundle except 2. A pity it didn’t come earlier, as I bought a bunch over the past 2 months.

I couldn’t resist it yesterday, especially when marked down 15%. Would make a great showpiece on my shelf!

They really have come a long way from being play sets, to now being show pieces. Thankfully I kept all my Lego, albeit without any instructions and probably missing pieces. Regardless, the kids make their own fun with it all.

Managed to build around 75% of the model while watching 2 episodes of Lego Masters. Just had to stay in the mood!

Very nice. I also looked at that one recently but then I ended up spending my money on other stuff ( games).

Definitely want to get myself some LEGO sets at some point. I had ZERO LEGO growing up as a kid and I bought my nephew a Mario LEGO set for his birthday and had a blast building it with him.
