Received botanical garden, the reading nook and the extra GWP yesterday. I’m not starting the botanical garden yet because I want to finish the book store modular (and I still have Jazz Club sitting unbuilt in the basement) but will do the reading nook GWP today. Really looking forward to it.

Also sold some unwanted Lego on eBay yesterday (Spice Girls BrickHeadz) so feel better about my bank balance!

I ordered my Botanical Garden set at midnight on the 1st of November, but it hasn’t been despatched yet.

Has anyone received a despatch email for their set yet?

Mine just arrived this evening! Same DPD guy handed over the Marvel Mansion for DS, both ordered on Friday. They sat in the warehouse until yesterday according to the tracking, then this morning I got a text saying they were going to be delivered today.

We used to store it built and add another set each year.

I've dropped my Christmas present off at my mum's for her to wrap with the dc😁 I always buy my own presents and then act surprised when I open them 😁
I've not got round to the bookcase yet. Maybe Friday which is my day off.

For those of you with seasonal Lego, do you dismantle it each year once the season is over and build and display again the following year? Or do you just store it away built? Or keep it out all year? The Halloween stuff is ready to take down now and once it's December 1st it's time for the Christmas stuff.

Lovely. Box no. 2 has arrived but it's full of Duplo for a toddler.

Oooo! The Vespa is on my Christmas wishlist

Show quote history

The Vespa/car/bus are mine, the sports cars & truck are my DH's - but he does let me help 😂

Random picture of flowers Lego and glass collection! I appreciate it may not be to everyone’s taste but I’m too old to care and love my eclectic style

Beautiful 😍

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.

Edited

Those kinds of days are the ones that I’m sure make up a “life” more than lots of others.

Definitely not sturdy

hattie43 · 04/11/2024 08:20

I'm not sure they'd be strong enough for bookends , I think they are only about 20cm tall from memory .

Here's mine. A very satisfying little number

DH and I both separately ordered big sets this weekend (Marvel Mansion for DS, and Botanical Gardens for me) so we should get two bookcase GWPs - hoping to use them as bookends, or make them into a little booknook. Are the big enough?!

My Mona Lisa was ordered last Tuesday, despatched on Thursday and arrived on Friday. I don't think they do anything over the weekend.
