I was in Smyth’s yesterday and saw the Home Alone house, so much detail. Old man Marley outside with his shovel and bin, the tree house, Vince and Marv in their van and even the red hot door knob. Doesn’t anybody have it?!

Me! We got it when it was first released and my son and I built it as an advent calendar as there are 24 bags!

I have to say it….. we have no more room for Lego…!! DH says we should only buy sets that have a deep meaning for us…. I mean…. All the sets Have a deep meaning to me haha

Same problem here. I really want the micro Diagon Alley but I literally have nowhere to put it…unless I move my son out to the garden shed 😂

Really, it’s just a case of not enough shelves 😃

I'm currently working on the titanic, I've wanted it for ages and finally splurged!

My other bargain 12.50 up.house

👀 bargain! I love my up house

lazyarse123 · 12/07/2025 16:48

I have spent all afternoon deciding whether to buy the Notre Dame Cathedral. Argos have it for £150 instead of £200. I have room if I put the Jurassic Park breakout in the spare room, they're not so much displayed in there as stored although you can see them all.
I have 8 biggish sets in the living room and 3 vases of flowers but if it's an obsession you just have to do it.
I might as well order it because if I leave it too long they'll sell out and then i'll regret it.

We’re in the same boat. Though, as much as I love LEGO, I have to be very selective in the sets that I buy. I have to really love a set to buy it!

Have you seen that there is a big reveal at midday of a new set "to see & hear". Any ideas?

Ooh! Hadn't heard about this. I hope it's not some phone / video / filmmaking type one - they tried that with - name escapes me - and it didn't really pick up.

This was a really satisfying build. Had worried it would be a bit boring.

The special offers are not exciting. I braved the big, dirty city to get Ds a set and the free gifts.
Anybody bought anything today?

LegoTherapy · 07/07/2025 22:13

Still no news on what sets will be in the insiders event offers tomorrow apart from the GWP African Savannah <impatient>

What do you mean by this? Is it that they bring out a new building every year and they’re all the same scale so they fit together?

Show quote history

Yes , lots of people buy them annually and create streets , towns even cities . Some great FB groups on this .

Yes, just about. Look up Lego modulars and you'll see how people set it up.

Becs258 · 07/07/2025 10:19

I got the Love sign, Pixar lamp and one of the wildflower sets for my birthday, so that should keep me busy, both in building and trying to create display space! Also got a voucher- considering the Trevi Fountain. Anyone got this? Is it an enjoyable build?
