Mum sent me this to cheer me up when my first wedding was cancelled due to covid. I would love to have an entire Lego Hogwarts but so far all I have is the room of requirement, every time we go to Smyths I gaze longing at the Hogwarts Lego.

Sorry if this has been asked already and I’ve missed it, but how do you clean your sets? Mine were minging and thick with dust so for a
make up brush and used that; but I don’t trust the Lego hoover I see on insta all the time….

There is some sort of spray can with a thin tube attached that sprays air I see people using for the fiddly places in computers, would that be useful? I’ve never used it so I’m not recommending it exactly. I’ve not had my Lego long enough for dust to accumulate yet.

Just finished my Pretty Pink Bouquet set.

Some great displays on here. I’ve just put the Jazz Club with the Tudor Corner and Assembly Square and they look great. Annoyingly the Corner Kiosk doesn’t really fit anywhere so looks out of place.

Any ideas what the 2026 modular might be?

So these are super basic compared to the sets and stuff on here, but here's what me and DS made this afternoon. He's asked me to put pictures on his school ap thing as well 😀🤣

These are great! Did you know (if you want) that there is a site where people make their own Lego things and you can get the instructions and make them yourself?

FiveWhatByFiveWhat · 08/06/2025 18:05

@Needmorelego thank you! I'm really surprised how enjoyable and almost therapeutic I find it! DS has 2 "creative" boxes so we're using those between us, but it's my birthday next month and I'm thinking of asking DH to get me a set to build...

Needmorelego · 08/06/2025 17:57

@FiveWhatByFiveWhat Fantastic builds ♥️

Sigh. I have a problem. I went into b&m for bleach and rinse aid. They now have Lego at my local store. I use the falcon bricks scanner as recommended here and got the last 5 of the mini F1’s that I needed and a few others!

i forgot the bleach and rinse aid….

DH’s Italy post card arrived this morning so this is our days haul lol!

im still not feeling 100% so not built the French cafe from Friday yet, just slowly taking my time with them unlike DH who treats it like a race to build a new set as fast as he can!

Are you the lad from the Lego movie? Strongly recommend a Pick & Mix wall selection if so, for all those random bits & bobs?

FiveWhatByFiveWhat · 08/06/2025 14:49

I'm loving seeing all these builds! I'm 36 and have started to get into Lego sets again 😀

My son likes to "free build" so some evenings I do something from the instructions and he makes his own creations next to me!

Personally I preferred it when you had to imagine that the Lego bits you'd put together were an aeroplane, spaceship, castle etc, without them being specifically designed to make that object. 😀

You can still do that !
Just buy one of the many Classic sets.

Just finished the Parisian cafe - it’s pretty but was an underwhelming build
Ordered the Viking village last night to go with Viking ship

I've just finished this and I absolutely love it! It can be stood up to display with the stand on the back, or hung on the wall. I think mine is going on the wall. It's so pretty!

Get well soon!
I'm building the Jazz Club. DS is building Peely Bone and I’ve just been talked into a Ninjago set in the toy shop that’s retired and they found in the back.

I’ve been feeling really unwell this week - last 2 days being the worst, but DH took me out in the car for a ‘drive’….. yeah a drive to smyths lol! He’s a good one (paid from joint account so technically I paid half 🤣)

might start the French cafe tonight if I can shift the woozy feeling. DH can build the HP one

lol I’m the same , I counted the other day and I have 22 unmade boxed sets not even opened . I buy because I want them in case they retire but realistically I have no more space to display them .
Im clearly waiting for my lottery win to buy a bigger house . Madness.

Just build a bigger house, you've got enough (Lego) bricks😂
