If only I had the space and the epic levels of cash required!

This thread reminds me of years back when my son was about seven .Star Wars were the number one gift for Christmas every lad (and mor than a few dads) wanted them. Being self employed and struggling and my wife being in work part time we just couldn't afford them. Spotted a ad inthe local rag for Star Wars toys , it was a family off loading a lot . Couldnt afford the falcon but bought a few bits and pieces figures and smaller vehicles for Father Christmas to give to my son🙂 A lot of the stuff the family had were in original boxes would beworth pounds today

Bit of lego myself, over the years me and my kiddo have build quite a few set together, its kinda started as a Xmas activity for us both, but soon got out of hand 😅. Also built the Millennium falcon, love it but my favourite set got to be the tree house.

That tree house looks epic but my favourite is The Empire over Jedha City 😎

Have you seen the Great Ball contraptions?
If you like it look at Akiyuki's channel on YouTube. The GBCs he makes are incredible.
That is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

That is beyond amazing. Now I know why it's impossible to get hold of some lego elements, they've all been used in the great ball contraption...
I do wonder though, just how many LEGO elements have been made over the years ?
Makes you wonder if the Lego packaging line is actually made from Lego,

wow, those are some crazy builds, know a chap that has done the same, with a filled loft space and down into a spare room, but using Knex, I marvel and then the fire risk and cost comes to the front of my mind,
there’s a lot of lego tanks out there, some planted and some like this just the blocks and fish
not sure id want to either dust or clean these sets, ours have been built once and then go in the box of bits to be freeform creations

😂 I have quite a few on display in my loft, alot more than the ones I posted previously, and yeah have agree the dusting aspect is perhaps the least enjoyable part of it, Lego is a dust magnet.

Over the years I've noticed LEGO gets mentioned occasionally in discussions, so I'm guessing there are more than a few AFOL (Adult Fans of LEGO) out there, I'm one for sure. And then I remembered this thread, and thought it might be a good idea to revive it, and rechristen it, so members can post pics of LEGO collections, creations, or other LEGO related news etc.
I'll try to start the ball rolling again with a Hoth MOC (My Own Creation) I built a few years back, and an R2-D2 and Princess Leia I built following another builders design.

Here's a quick pano of the ones I have. The crane on the right is 4.2K pieces and built during the Christmas holidays a couple of years ago. The thing on legs is the Lego Mindstorms that I bought to introduce my daughter to coding.
I think Lego have really discovered (and capitalised) on the market for adult enthusiasts, but it's just so expensive. I'd love to build the rivendell set, even the Jurassic park t-rex breakout, but it's priced just out of range of passing interest for me.
