My gf and her kids are planning a NYE lego session, currently trying to decide what would be a good multi person kit to build. Maybe titanic or Eifel Tower

Titanic is laid out so that you can build each piece seperately IIRC, and its likely more interesting to build than a million grey struts.. Just my 2p.

Installed the Lego Builder app on the in-house Lego enthusiast's (aka the middle DJlet) tablet and he's registered all the sets we have instructions for. 59 sets, 13999 bricks

I know there are some missing, so that's a low number. He's delighted!

Edit: final tally is 75/21892. That's a lot.

Leo liked to supervise.



Arnie would help until she gets bored and is then just content to hang out.

Very fortunate Zips. My dearly departed Siamese, Jasper, would watch but at least half of the current cats are too inquisitive and mischievous so will play with the bricks and sit on the instructions.

One of my cats "helping".

Concorde ordered just now delivery in a few days time and then it will be part of my collection alongside....

Space Shuttle + hubble combo
ISS miniscale
Saturn V
DB5
Wall-e
Original Batmobile
Vader Mask
Doms F+F charger
Apollo 11 Lander
Corvette
Nascar Chevy

Plus a few other smaller models like wil-e coyote & Roadrunner, Mandalorian&Grogu

I think I’m going to have to pass on Concorde, it’s just too long to be displayed anywhere.

The correct answer is buy another house to make it happen

Hang it from the ceiling. Job jobbed

I have one display point in the main lounge, where I rotate which model I have, then the rest stays in the dedicated Lego room

Yeah but this thing’s over a metre long!

Barry's spin the bottle parties hit different.

Just cos you never got picked..

Must... not... buy... Concorde....

I've got a few sets starting to pile up and not sure whether to make them now or just hang on to them until next year when we'll hopefully be in a new house with a decent amount of shelving in the office for lego to sit on.

You have more willpower than I, Concorde and the Hoqwarts castle coming my way this month. #expensivehabit

I forgot i also have the Van Gogh Starry Night set as well but that is allowed to be in the lounge as it's "art"

Also the Concorde model is Occupational/Physiotherapy (See moaning for explaination)

Yes, art. Let’s go with that

Just finished the Nascar Camaro my FiL bought for my birthday at beginning of June and I didn't quite get to finish as quickly as expected - i'd done bags 1 & 2 so it was 3 & 4 to do today - can confirm it's great rehab! Definitely need some more shelves in my office upstairs now!

Venator has finally landed, and I have to say I think its an impressive kit (certatinly compared to the all grey previous efforts).

A lot of $$ mind you, and you'll need a warehouse to display it
