Mumsnet Talk

Oh that's totally par for the course here. Lego, hornby. All "for DS1" but actually just as much for DH. Love them both for it really.

My dh is playing with our 6yo ds's Christmas present at the moment. Ds is in bed.

Is that not normal then?

[gives lego obsessed dh a sideways look]

. . . Didn't know you could add doors!

I will confess to enjoying a game of Brio trains.

Please post link if he discovers how to add doors

DH is currently sitting cross-legged on the floor sorting his Short Circuit magazines from 20 years ago into date order Yesterday he brought home all his old Transformers and Ghostbusters and He-Man magazines from his mums house and did the same.

I have chocolate. I'm happy.

Get him to look up building the Simpsons out of Lego, they are so easy to make and will impress loads of people.

I remember going to Hamley's basement many moons ago at Xmas time and seeing all the Dads playing with the train sets and bored kids standing around watching them. (Bored because they'd been there for hours while their dads 'tested' the toys.)

You're stuck with it I'm afraid. Have you considered a big garden shed for him?

DH is currently playing Lego LOTR on the Wii

My "walk in wardrobe" somehow morphed into a train room.....

I love lego. Looking forward to the transition from Brio to the proper stuff.

I also have a little box, tucked away in a chest full of old stuff, containing three pippa dolls and whole pile of intricate clothes that I made for them as a child - yes, I was a sewing geek! Sometimes I consider getting them out and having a bit of a play...

You should try living in the middle of a Warhammer battle site

<I always record million pound drop so I can fast forward through annoying ads. and Davina's odd facial expressions>

DH has just found his grass mini on the front of one of the magazines. That one is now in its own special pile...

Kungfu- Pippa Dolls !! I'm so

<glances at Xbox games>

Erm, I have Lego batman, Lego batman 2, Lego lotr, Lego star wars...

I take it you have kids...

My DP at least hides his lego obsession with buying DS age 6 complex lego kits and the 'making it for him'. Perfect.

LTB!!!

I just skipped the pretence and bought DH Star wars Lego for his birthday & Xmas. He bought me Architect Lego (I also got architect barbie) last year and DS got Lego fire station to add to the mounting collection.

We have more Lego in the house than food, and DH bought a couple of Lego Millennium Falcons as an 'investment' a few years ago.... I thought he was insane, but he's actually been proved right (bought for £300each, currently sell for £2k on eBay )

He calls his collection 'The Legocy', as that's all there'll be for DS to inherit...

@ legocy.

I've been feeding the playmobile horses hay with a pitchfork this evening.

The toys are soooo much better than in my day [old gimmer smiley]

Ooh you can do that with lego now??

Anyone want to send me their spare lego?

I so want this and this for me DS
