So happy to have found this thread!

I've just finished the bunny from the creator 3in1 set this evening, after making the seal first.
My current big wish list items are the Snow White Cottage and Rivendale. Think I will be able to stretch for the cottage in a couple of months but just can't justify the Rivendale set even though it is absolutely beautiful

I’ve customised my heart wreath for a more spring-like look.

I've been into the Lego Store at Tivoli in Copenhagen this week. Slightly disappointed that I could have been in my local store as I was hoping there would be models of the Danish flag, Greenland, bacon, pastries etc

This is an Ideas entry waiting to happen!

I took visitors to the London store last week and loved it. Amazing displays and really friendly staff.

I've just made a start on the Mercedes F1 car that I got for Christmas. Then the next one in my queue is the Liebherr Crawler Crane that I bought last year and you can drive by remote control using your phone :)

Building them is one of my favourite hobbies - I normally get one for Christmas and then try to save up to buy another one during the year. Anything I win on premium bonds goes straight into my Lego pot!

Another mothers day gift. I quite enjoyed it. It's bigger than I thought so I've had to put the big Lamborghini away. I really want the botanical garden but I don't think I can squeeze it in.
Maybe when I've saved up I'll have found space.

According the BrickEconomy it retailed for £259.99 so I’m very happy! It’s worth slightly more now. If I get time I’m going to add up the cost of our sets and then the value. The dds want to know who gets my valuables when I die Hmm I’m 48 ffs. Ds gets upset at the thought of me dying and as the onot Lego fan out of the three of them he’d get my sets obviously because he’s not grabby! Aren’t kids delightful.

@TheWayTheLightFallsI paid £187 and the seller dropped it off for me because he was local. I met him on a different road though as obviously I wouldn’t have a stranger know where I live especially if there were any issues with it. There were lots of sets at a similar price sling with some crazy prices. I don’t know how much it was when it was available at the Lego store. I’m after the Viking village set next and hoping they bring out some How To Train Your Dragon sets when the film comes out in June. The Viking village is hard to find according to the website and it’s not been in the Manchester store for ages.

Wow!

Ds has brought all his Minecraft sets down into the dining table and made a village. It looks really cool. Once he’s tweaked it I’ll ask him if I can post a picture.
I bought Assembly Square off eBay from a local seller. It looks legit and he says it is. All pieces marked with LEGO logo and packaged in the way all other big sets are with numbered bags etc. I was wary of buying a big set off eBay but it’s looking great and I’m looking forward to building it. We also have the Jazz club and the Easter bunny GWP to build. I really do have to stop buying LEGO now! I buy all clothes except underwear and socks and shoes off vinted so it balances somewhat. The addiction is quite serious I fear but I can excuse it as an investment and my special interest 😁

I’d love Assembly Square but really can’t justify it right now. Also the new LoTR set and GWP caught my eye, but trying to hold back. Not a huge fan of the series but liked the look of it.

Only Internet friends could mistake me for the mother of a toddler! Shame I shattered the illusion.

The French Cafe is in very slow progress, but at least I've started

LegoTherapy · 03/04/2025 15:50

The Lego bricks and pieces are on their way from Poland and I think should arrive tomorrow. The Jazz club and Easter Surprise arrived today.

sorry about the mix up the other day and hope everyone is ok.

Oh dear. The lotus flowers will last longer than a lunch

snoopyfanaccountant · 01/04/2025 20:18

For the second year running Mothers Day didn't happen for me. DD1 would have taken me out for lunch if DH hadn't ballsed up booking our Easter holiday (maybe there was a reason that the flights were so cheap). DD2 is ND and struggles.
I took the liberty of picking up a the lotus flowers in Lidl and I am looking forward to putting them together when I get home.

@LegoTherapy mine's fine and graduated a couple of year's ago. It's @TheWayTheLightFalls who had a trip to A&E yesterday. How are they now?

He’s ok, couple of stitches. He had a grand old time apparently, told everyone at nursery that he had lots of snacks and got to watch tv at the hospital.

STEM set remains one bag in here, hopefully a bit more free time tomorrow morning.

Two MONTHS???!!!

Yep. Apparently one of the bricks I ordered was out of stock so that held up my whole order. 14th jan I ordered it and got it literally 13th march!

Well thank you both! I only have one set to register but it’s a start!

Looks like you can register your sets which will get you points

https://www.lego.com/en-gb/service/help-topics/article/registering-your-lego-sets

I didnt even realisse i had 1500 points from sets i had bought on line for the dc. I will look at registering my sets.

Yes, that’s right. There’s a little QR code on the first/second page of each set’s instruction book - use the camera on your phone to scan it and it will take you through to the registration page.
