To show me your LEGO collection- Part 2

New thread

The small/smaller sets often feel like very good value for money. Some of the GWPs are amazing and great fun to build.

@JoshLymanSwagger the only reason I didn’t buy the tulips was I had a sudden thought that DS who is a bargain hunter might have seen them on offer and bought them in advance for my birthday or Mother’s Day

@JaceLancs That explains it! 😁
I've not done any of the floral kits, but the tulips and the cherry blossom are very tempting. Spring is my favourite season for flowers, but having 2 indoor only cats that would stupidly try to kill themselves by eating a daffodil means I can't have cut flowers or indoor plants any more.
If your DS doesn't treat you, they're on offer here:
Tulip Bouquet LEGO Botanical Collection 11501 | Wayland Games
They were pretty good with their ordering/delivery/packaging of the Japanese Cherry Blossom Landscape.🌸

I’m away from home at the moment so only building mini kits and doing jigsaws

That hamster is so cute! Don’t forget to scan the booklets for Insider points.

Not mine but ...
I follow the Instagram account of jackanddadmusic. Jack is a 15yo boy with autism whose loves are singing and lego. The regular posts show Jack singing while he constructs lego, with dad accompanying him on guitar. One of the recent posts shows Jack's ENORMOUS Lego collection that fills every corner of the house!
Can highly recommend.

@JaceLancs What types of Jigsaws do you do? I have a wardrobe or two busting collection of Wasgij. 😁
I think I'd have built the little ginger cat - mine is (bigger) currently asleep on the dining room table (it has a duvet and fleecy blanket on it and is next to a big radiator) which we only use for Lego and jigsaws. 😺

I'm drumming my fingers waiting for my 2 x parcels to be dispatched...🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh, forgot to say - there's a set of Sunflowers that must have been added to the Lego website overnight.
I really will buy those - and the tulips, and probably the cherry blossom...🌻🌷🌺
😻

@JoshLymanSwagger I try and stick to 500 piece or less jigsaws and like the boxed sets of 2 or 4 x 500 good quality eg Gibsons
Recently I’ve been given some of the Instagram wooden ones - just done these which were fun

Tonight’s holiday builds

Still on with the minis and found this little critter on the beach this morning

I ordered the Sunflowers, they're due in March. My Van Gogh is arriving today. 😁

Just found that there's a new Orange version of the Tuxedo Cat available from March...😻

DH is going to have a fit soon - especially when he sees my cc bill. 😂

@JoshLymanSwagger TheVan Gogh Sunflowers was my very first Lego attempt last year. It’s really beautiful. I finally ordered the plexiglass frame for it this week and it’s just arrived this morning. It will save a LOT of dusting!!

Anyone know when the latest Lego Ideas results are out?

Ooh, no. Not the VG sunflowers - these are the Botanic ones that go in a vase. 🌻 They'd probably go really well with the picture. Due 1st March.

AIBU to still need want the Windmill that I posted upthread.🙏🏻

I did see this
LEGO Art 31220 Monet's Water Lilies Rumoured For March 2026

That is strange though. There is a Water Lilies in review at the moment. But the image in that link is from a current Lego Ideas submission still being voted on, with 6k votes. So it’s definitely not that one.

Yes, I know.
You mean this one:Claude Monet's Water Lilies | LEGO® Ideas
but if you look at other links they've been on the button quite a lot.

Personally I'd rather have Munch - The Scream.

Seen the small red roses set is retiring, so might have to get those. Nice little set to add into others.

They are lovely. I made my own little bouquet a while back with the small red roses and the small sunflowers.

Those sunflowers were a nightmare to put together, so glad they've changed them for the bouquet!

I don't know why I never got the roses, I have all the other small ones.

DS sent me this one - he’s normally in the know

Pic attached

This is my mixed bouquet

Snap!
