Minecraft is also hell. I got stuck staring at the sky or something and could not fix it. Handed the iPad back to the 6 year old. No thanks. LOL

I'm going to throw you in a lego-constructed Azkaban and make you be friends with me. I'll wait while you google what I typed since I know it's basically Chinese to you. Live footage of brux quickly typing.

My lego confession on behalf of DH, I spent two months calling lego stores (several days a week at opening, based on inventory stock times) trying to find him the Millenium Falcon set for his birthday. Stores, if they got them, would only get one or two at a time, and people would line up outside the stores for hours in advance trying to get one. They were completely sold out online (they did a restock earlier this spring, but it was before that). I finally did get one, but I had to tell DH to go get it because I drive a hatchback and the box wouldn't fit in my car. There are two instructional manuals and they are spiral bound. View Attachment You are the best.wife.ever. 😁

Minecraft is just digital Legos. My kids build houses, mansions, malls, greenhouses, etc.

Omg I’d buy all the Harry Potter LEGO sets. I like creative lego-img, but if you could built Hogwarts that would be amazing. I look st it like a 3D puzzle of sorts, so I don’t mind building that alone. I just got Hogwarts, the Whomping Willow and Quidditch. Please come to my house, we'll share a joint and then build all the Legos. I’m down. This is my kind of fun. I’ve seen this before but I have no idea why I haven’t considered getting them. I’m currently on target and amazon becusse i need this in my life.

I guess my confession is that I have been weirdly attracted to James May for years. I cannot explain it. ::record scratch:: I know. I cannot confess this to MH because he would mock me relentlessly, so I pretend to be magnanimous about watching Top Gear and The Grand Tour “because you like them so much honey”.

Our retirement is wrapped up in Hess Trucks and Legos. Ours is Star Wars spaceships, play sets, and action figures.

I love puzzles. I don’t think this is a confession. But my best friend gave me a “porn scene” puzzle at my bachelorette party. She got it at Etsy. It was one from the 70s, I can tell, because if was super hairy. I never did tne damn puzzle.

I learned here long ago that I am a bad loved one cause I don't sit through things I find insufferable because a loved one loves it.
I don't expect others to do that for me either.
I am independent in these matters.

I really dislike building legos and DS just wants to play with the finished product and isn't into building. I avoid the mall with the big Lego store at all costs.

My kid builds the set within a very short time of getting it and maybe admires it for a short time but eventually its all dismantled and mixed with the rest. All you "set sticklers" do you keep them on display or dismantle and carefully store in box? And also, do you ever just create your own thing, because i think this is the best part of legos for a kid anyway...learning how to build on their own, create and design on their own. But i think im legoing wrong...i vacuum them up and dont look back. This is us too. My 6yo can blow through sets and directions ridiculously fast. He admires them for a day or two and then the pieces get mixed in ad he free builds. At first I tried to keep them organized, then I tried again but finally gave up. My kid makes cool stuff and i take photos of his designs.

So do ya'll keep the boxes the pieces come in so that you know which pieces are for what sets? Do they stay built and you display them? DO ALL OF THE PIECES GO IN ONE BIG BIN? My MIL gave us a huge bin of random legos. We figure there are about 15 sets from my husband's childhood and about 7 sets from his nephew. We spent snowmaggen '18 sorting that bin into colors. I then tried to start building some sort of lego car and realized I do not have the patience or ability for legos. I'm not giving up though. I'll try again if we get a storm this winter. My brother gave us a huge bin of random legos too, and we did something similar with the pieces, sorting them by type (like flat large pieces, regular 2x2+ bricks, regular 1xwhatever bricks, etc.). It's now just a jumble again, so I think we need to do the color method.

My soul feels cleansed when I vacuum up the 10,000 little legos my kids never manage to pick up, despite asking a million times for them to be cleaned up. I know I am just wasting my own money at that point but i will be damned if I am picking them up.

omg I cann't believe I'm divulging this but... further confession is part of the reason there is spreadsheet is that the monetary value of the lego collection is nearing the place where we might need a specific rider on our insurance to cover it. You know shit is dire when I'm confessing the depths of my nerd habit rather than talk about tampons falling out of vaginas. Did someone My Gosh this yet? Because MY GOSH
