The Christmas train arrived today along with the power pack and the ghost GWP. The motor is on back order and should be here early October.
There’s rumours of double Insiders points on the 14th, so next Tuesday.

I've got the Halloween wreath too. Love the colours.

Photo of LEGO Diagon Alley with Lights
Previously, the family have built some of the big ones: LEGO Hogwarts Castle, the Star Wars Death Star, Imperial Star Destroyer, Millennium Falcon, and NINJAGO City ~ some of them with lights.
Way back when, we’d skip a half-term holiday and instead take over the dining table for a week, working on a giant LEGO set as a family. Great memories! Then, sadly ... the kids grew up and selfishly moved on … So I had to find a new hobby.
Harry Potter’s mechanical Hedwig is also a fun smaller build if you're after something quicker!

Popped into our nearest Lego shop today and got the giant Santa mini figure. It was chaos with lots of small people gazing at the Death Star

I’ve ordered the upscaled Santa too and the holiday express train 😀

I made the front cover of Primal Scream’s Screamadelica out of my kid’s Lego. Did it on a complete whim and just by eye. Was really quite pleased with the result.

great job 👏 🙇‍♀️

Ow I've found my people, this was my last one my daughter got it for me for mothers day.

I'd really like some more of these.

Bugger, the ghost gwp is now available today-we should have waited but ds needed a cheer op visit to he Lego store.

@TheWayTheLightFallswe had to ask for the pieces for them that weren’t out and they were happy to go and get them so if they were t out, just ask. The witch girl was legkess; the ghost lady skirt and shameless; and the mummy catless until we asked.

Thank you! I may have a nose on the website and see if I can get them that way - busy London, probably with a child or three in tow, is not my idea of fun.

Has anybody built the new Black Pearl? Ds bought it on Friday. We got the new Halloween minifigures too

Not me, but I'm hoping to get the Halloween minifigures - this weekend is looking unlikely, but maybe during the week. I have to brace myself for the tourist guts of London!

Loved this interview. If you google her name you’ll see more of her builds and they are amazing.

@LegoTherapy
I usually try Amazon first but also use Bricklinks - there are loads on line just search with set number and Lego lighting kit
They are very fiddly though!
DP really enjoys doing them so I leave it to him

LegoTherapy · 15/09/2025 07:06

@JaceLancswhere do you get the lighting kits?

JaceLancs · 14/09/2025 17:36

DP has wired up the Halloween house

I’ve just listed 40700 Winter Train on eBay if anyone is after one - from a few years back.

Chinese Garden is beautiful!

LegoTherapy · 14/09/2025 09:44

I really like that Chinese garden.
The Italian riviera is nearly finished. The bricks and pieces have been shipped but come by road from
Poland so I’m not expecting them before Friday. There’s 2 kayaks in there that I’ll use with the set.

JaceLancs · 14/09/2025 08:16

Chinese celebration garden is progressing well - no help from Finlay this weekend though

Got them all! Smyths had a good selection so I scanned and found the last three I was missing.

Haven't been in a toy shop in 30+ years. I practically had vertigo!

MiniFig · 10/09/2025 22:20

Good luck!
