Lego building going well here
Endurance is under construction
Finlay is enjoying catching Lego birds
We have built gift with purchase garden gate, Xmas train etc

We did our GWP Christmas train yesterday - great build and a decent size for a freebie. Also liked the Winter Village post office this year - our village is getting rather crowded as all the minifigs from various advent calendars are there too Xmas Grin

Excited to see what Lego sets posters on here get for Christmas!

I had a delivery earlier today from Lego with one of the Disney 100 sets that's retiring soon - it's the wee picture one

Merry Christmas all! Here are the LEGO sets I got today. Very spoiled!

I’d like to buy the LEGO Jazz Quartet set out of my Christmas money, but it isn’t in stock anywhere!

DD (7) got the Plum Blossom for Hanukkah today. Whizzed through it and is delighted with herself because it’s marked as 18+.

It was hugely difficult to find! She’d asked for it specifically after seeing it in the catalogue, but I left it quite late because I assumed it’d be everywhere, and it ended up being out of stock or on back order wherever I looked. Tracked it down to one remote branch of Argos.

I got the post office , the chrysanthemum and a brickheadz of Tails . My next purchase will be the Tudor modular

BruisedNeckMeat · 26/12/2024 12:08

DS2 bought me the Jaws set!

Dearover · 26/12/2024 12:11

Slightly topsy turvy Christmas here as I had to make all the purchases. I surprised myself with the Retro Radio and Mona Lisa. Grown up DD has the modern art set which meant she also received the Bookcase GWP.

I got the Tuxedo cat for Christmas and have ordered the Lego roses and new flower bouquet which releases on the 1st of January.

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.

Sounds lovely 🙂 I’m building my first - a VW Campervan that I bought years ago because it looked lovely. Never did anything with it until yesterday. I fear this is a gateway drug. I have seen the Orient Express at £260 😳🤯 I am definitely coveting it!

I build the camper van 13 years ago yesterday, according to FB.

Do you love it? My husband is going to put lights in when it’s finished, so we can use it as a lamp.

That is a very cute idea. Mine sits behind my desk with my Mini, Fiat 500, VW Beetle, Vespa & Porche.

I’m currently building my Vespa, I’m around halfway through!

I started my castle but have to keep clearing it off for the insane amount of large meals we seem to only cook over Christmas. 😅

My most treasured lego possession is the D11 Bulldozer. It is huge and was made in collaboration with CAT and you can drive it around via remote control on your phone.

It was for sale in Smyths for about two years (they had it built up in their display cabinet) and I loved it but it was about £400 and I could never afford it.

I got a bonus at work for 20 years long service and decided to buy it - by which time I sadly found it was discontinued and out-of-stock everywhere. Then by complete luck I found a toy shop in Worcester that had it in stock and they would ship it to me!

It is one of the best things I have ever bought - they should make a film about my struggles to buy it! :)
