Is is common for pieces to be missing? Given Lego kit prices, it’s surely reasonable to expect the highest standard of quality control.

They have a whole system set up to report it get replacements.

I mean error is expected the mini bags will be packed either by computer or hand but either way so many bags per hour will be expected so a level of error will be expected thus the easy report system.

must say I’ve never had it till today though in many years of buying Lego.

My Christmas tree currently has 4 biege branches. Apparently it was the same last year according to DH. I imagine the Lego replacement piece elves must wish they had gone for a job in Santa's workshop instead of in Legoland at this time of year.

Must be something about it Harry Potter Lego. I’ve had to send off a missing piece report for the castle then child came downstairs. Also missing a piece from her Harry Potter spider 😅

Checked all the solid tables being used, the floors, triple checked the bit bags and nope nothing.

I have a lot of the technic cars, Mustang, Lamborghini Huracan, Bugati. At least 6 Speed cars and a big Fort gt.
I also have the Taj Mahal which as a pp says looks good but was pretty boring to make. Himeji Castle was a good make.
I have some other random sets but I have just treated myself to the Lamborghini Sian, I've wanted it for a long time but it was £400. But it was in Argos's black friday sale for £260. So I treated myself. It is quite hard to do so will take me a while.
Loving the fact that so many adults are addicted

My most treasured lego possession is the D11 Bulldozer. It is huge and was made in collaboration with CAT and you can drive it around via remote control on your phone.

It was for sale in Smyths for about two years (they had it built up in their display cabinet) and I loved it but it was about £400 and I could never afford it.

I got a bonus at work for 20 years long service and decided to buy it - by which time I sadly found it was discontinued and out-of-stock everywhere. Then by complete luck I found a toy shop in Worcester that had it in stock and they would ship it to me!

It is one of the best things I have ever bought - they should make a film about my struggles to buy it! :)

I’d watch that film!

I started my castle but have to keep clearing it off for the insane amount of large meals we seem to only cook over Christmas. 😅

Do you love it? My husband is going to put lights in when it’s finished, so we can use it as a lamp.

That is a very cute idea. Mine sits behind my desk with my Mini, Fiat 500, VW Beetle, Vespa & Porche.

I build the camper van 13 years ago yesterday, according to FB.

Sounds lovely 🙂 I’m building my first - a VW Campervan that I bought years ago because it looked lovely. Never did anything with it until yesterday. I fear this is a gateway drug. I have seen the Orient Express at £260 😳🤯 I am definitely coveting it!

I have all the botanicals (it is the gateway drug in adult lego, I swear!) Prior to the botanicals, I was not all that into lego but the OH had a few.

Then BOOM I was invested. We have the Ghostbusters building, Daily Bugle, Pac Man, consoles, loads of cars and the milky way. We have run out of space and the OH has over flowed his room is starting to eye up my hobby room.

The OH just got the retro Batman car and I got the Christmas wreath

It is just a lovely ritual. We have a day, normally rainy or cold, where we put a favourite film or series on the tv, get 'build snacks' and then set up the big table/comfy chairs and just sit in each other company either chatting or in companionable silence while we concentrate.

Slightly topsy turvy Christmas here as I had to make all the purchases. I surprised myself with the Retro Radio and Mona Lisa. Grown up DD has the modern art set which meant she also received the Bookcase GWP.

BruisedNeckMeat · 26/12/2024 12:08

DS2 bought me the Jaws set!

hattie43 · 26/12/2024 11:59

I got the post office , the chrysanthemum and a brickheadz of Tails . My next purchase will be the Tudor modular
