Not making the same mistake with the kids lego. I have no boxes nor instructions for mine (bar the technical set)

Gold mine right there.
Yeah, its just getting the right pieces in the right boxes!Gold mine right there.
Is that a kit or a self build? If the latter you need to get it submitted on Lego Ideas! Thats how the caterham lego set came to fruition!The great thing about Lego is that you can considerably cut your T6 delivery time

@Paynewright it was actually a design that our daughter found. She then must have spent ages searching out and buying all the necessary bits!
I'm getting something from Lego for Christmas, as is my Brother in law. We know, because that's what we asked for!

My missus bought me the new defender kit for Christmas last year. Took me longer to put together than a real one
I agree, the Defender was a bugger to build!
These are mine.
Happy birthday, enjoy !!
Does anyone modify these kits? Having built the splitty, I thought is would look better as a crew cab pickup, slammed with a serious amount of negative camber. It's since being broken up and turned into many other things. I stupidly never took a photo of it.
I'm not quite sure how these kits sit with me tho'. As a boy, my Dad came home with a big cardboard box full of secondhand bricks. All shapes and sizes. I built all sorts. The things that I remember most were the stadiums that my Subbuteo pitch got laid out in. Do kids still do this?

Yes, they do. Ours took satisfaction from building as designed, but then would create castles or bridges or crazy vehicles with a mix from my old school bricks to Friends elements.
From what I’ve read the basic brick sets (rather than ‘theme’) are better for inspiring creativity.
With my kids it was pirates versus medieval soldiers!
I like, I love, I want, I need!! ( just rehearsing before I show my other half!)
I'd tend to agree with the destress aspect until my wife and son built the Home Alone house then handed it to me to install the lights kit! I'm a week in, have almost completed downstairs and now wonder if I'll get it done before 2023!
You need the hands of a 4 year old, the dexterity of a surgeon and The Hubble telescope to see where those damn wires connect.
And breathe.....
