Loose bricks? We’ve been going to a chain store “bricks and minifigs” and they have cats of bricks you can pick through. Great for finding those missing or broken pieces… fill a quart bag with anything for $25. Build your own minifigs for $6.

My son and I spend hours in there…
First I’ve heard of this chain. I’m now intrigued. Will have to find one near me.

It’s for that reason Legos are forbidden by the Geneva convention. Too cruel for warfare.

Just posted this in the pet thread, but realized it belongs here too. A small sampling of the 120+ sets in my home. Plus a cat that leaves them all alone.

Got to visit that room (Scarecrow's post) with a Master Builder last year!
Whole trip was based around it for my eldest nieces 18th. 😎👊

Pretty sure it was the same room! ???

Heaps of Master Builder creations, quite a small display room but had a plastic extrusion (?) machine at the end that made us each a unique blended/off colour brick from the plastic beads we added. Fresh and piping hot!
Then opened out into the MB workshop where they were working on new pieces for the park.
Then we went up onto the roof terrace with two MB's and made little figures of ourselves.

I think someone has already shared the little Speed Champion.

I think I forgot to share that we did one of the regional Lego worlds and it was wild fun.

That is seriously impressive. 👊
My little Master Wu is waiting, very patiently, for me to decide whether to build him the Bonsai Tree or the Dragon Stone fountain.

And take him hat shopping!

That's awesome! I've been watching the new season with my kid while building one of the source dragons. I'll share a pic when we are done.

In other news, my wife has vetoed any further Legos until we declutter the house and edit down the existing Legos to make more room. So... I'm gonna start pricing out an extension on the place.

The obvious solution 🤣
Let us know how your wife reacts to this direction. If you still can!

I've just emptied a storage unit.
Getting that was the top worst financial decision of my life 🤯
Sorting through a good sized pile of unopened sets bought for my great nephew and great nieces. They're still to young for most of them.
Got to make the decision to cull or live with packing boxes as furniture, ornaments, interior design features 🤣

Did I just see in the TV news a full-scale Formula 1 car made of LEGO ? ... and it drove ?

I think I’m over the addiction. This has been on the table for over a year and I’ve lost interest. Bought 11 new sets since then and they are unopened.

We finally finished the big Tyranno skeleton!

Next up, two Harry Potter sets. I really want to get the Concorde, but we are legit running out of room for any more big sets 😬

You know, upon further thought, that airstream could house a lot of Legos...
