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. That is not how I recall that conversation going, but if you felt like people thought you were a bad loved one, I’m sorry. I was being sarcastic.
I mean how else do you interpret "I do it because I love them so..."

Nice! Who’s going to have the best Christmas ever? um. okay I will take your advice to keep them hidden until Christmas under consideration. Solid plan. I think J is getting Lego Hogwarts for Christmas. And by that I mean J and I are getting Lego Hogwarts for Christmas.

I would totally sell my socks to a perv for $50. No question. I'd use the money for a pedicure and then go sell more socks.

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. Omg I’d buy all the Harry Potter LEGO sets.

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 want to be your best friend.

I mean I have long let go a lot of care at what the board thinks of me. Once the certifiably crazy came out and email stalking there is like no going back.

Today I learned lego sets have any significant amount of value. They are fugly expensive, especially the licensed sets

I will praise all the gods if my kids never get into legos. It’s a better hobby than about 5,000 other things I can think of. Including basically all electronics You’re not wrong. I just have negative patience for all those tiny pieces. FTR, I’ll praise those same gods if they don’t get into video games, either.

I want a Funko Pop GOT Jon Snow and the Night King. I think I'm going to get a map of Westeros for my dining room, but I'm holding out until the show ends to see how angry the finale makes me. I just want a huge poster of Jon Snow to hang up on my side of the bed, teen girl style.

I could *maybe* get behind some Harry Potter legos. Maybe that’s my gateway LEGO set.

MH has declared we're getting the big new Hogwarts set for Christmas, I cannot talk him out of it despite the fact that it will likely take us like 3 months to complete because of toddler and impending newborn. Also, where would we put the damn thing once it's done? But it is really awesome and I do enjoy doing Legos.

The 4.5yo moves and talks nonstop, but give him a set of Legos and you'll have 2-3 hours of silence.

I don't think Mega Bloks are garbage at all. DS loves his, and the ProBuilder sets were awesome back when they still had them. I'm ok on my island.
My FFC: I think I'd rather stay home with a book tonight than have a date. It's been that kind of week. Old lady, party of one.

If I had Harry Potter Lego sets I bought “for the kid/s” I’d be very “my precious” about them. They wouldn’t be all lost in crevices in the house. There would be an altar or some type of safe. Lol

According to A, Santa will be bringing him the big 4-legged LEGO Imperial Walker. He’s been telling everyone who will listen.
His Mimi and Grandpa have already claimed it for Christmas (which is going to make my mom jealous 🙄), so he isn’t wrong.

I feel there is way more worse things to be into than Legos. The thing about hobbies is that no one has to get it but you. You will find your people.
I mean, I am a planner girl. I am also very active in the planner budgeting community, game of thrones world on youtube and the cleaning community on youtube.

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. I will not throw away my own money. I just can't do it.

Actual photo of hilarity’s house. I guess my confession is that I have been weirdly attracted to James May for years. I cannot explain it. Lol Hammond I get but May? You do you

In late to the Lego discussion but some elementary schools here have Lego engineering or something as an after school activity choice. It sounds awesome.

I confess that I throw them away if B gets a set as a gift. I don't want to mix up shitty fake Legos with the real ones.

Also someone has probably posted this by now, but oh well. Credit to my friend Shoshana who will probably have a heart attack when she sees a tag in GD.

Oh man I would love to be a fly on the wall in the insurance office when you call about that. "You'd like a rider... for your Legos? For HOW MUCH??" I mean, I'm sure people call for all sorts of collections but this is just making me giggle. I love it for you. And tbh some of those HP sets do look kind of cool. Where’s my tag??? Most companies offer a category for memorabilia. If there’s a way to appraise a things value, you can usually schedule it! I don’t think I have actually seen legos specifically yet. Keep in mind that most of your personal property will be covered just fine, just usually subject to your deductible. What you want to make sure you have is replacement cost (vs actual cash value) and if there’s any special limit on your policy that would limit either the per item payout or the overall payout, that it’s sufficient for the category. If it’s not, you should schedule it. Example, most basic policies will give you $1500 for theft of jewelry. If you have jewelry worth more than that, you need more coverage. This is a lot of information about insurance. 🤓
