Anyone else into Lego?

I've been a Lego lover since I was very young. I remember saving up for holidays and always buying a new set 😁

Back then it was mainly Space or medieval stuff and recently I had the joy of rebuilding some of the sets.

These days I'm pretty firmly in star wars land with it. I tend to do the ships in that kind of mid scale (the sub £100 sets) but I've got all the helmets too, which I'm slowly trying to pair with a black series version.

Aside from that im loving the USC/adult pop culture cars.

I'm about to pick up the 66 Batmobile.

Space, as ever, is the big issue really... Well, space and having a wife that won't let me out the sets all over the house 😂

Like yourself, as a kid I absolutely loved lego. Now I get to re live it all again through my kids (I knew having kids was a good idea). We often have a lego project on. Atm it's more Harry Potter themed. Saying that really want to finish the Sonic set we started but got side tracked. My partners dream job is to work for lego. If that was an option I know she'd quit her job instantly

That Batmobile will be great. FFS now you've mentioned it I want it 😅. Post a pic once it's done mate

Love it mate. How long did that take roughly to complete?

You built any of the more modern ones or you a classic car man 😊

No rush build unwinding on an evening, about 3 hours.

I've not had or built the 89 or Tumbler.

Next on the menu for me will be the Delorean 😁

At this rate we could open up a lego department for the auction house and you could keep us going for a while 😊

What would you say has been your most enjoyable build?

I am really looking forward to building the Hogwarts castle with my youngest when we have the free time

It's not a bad idea mate!

There are a lot of Lego investors out there.

Well, my son and I built the Mario piranha plant recently and I loved that build, though probably more because it was us than the build being great.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Ashoka Jedi shuttle and pretty much every SW helmet.

The ecto was a bit of a nightmare but only because it was 2nd hand and all just in a bag together.

Aside from that I got a lot of pleasure rebuilding my childhood city airport not long since. The instructions were so much more basic.

You really are a lego head then. Would you do it for a job if the opportunity came up? Like I say it's my partners dream job
