And 2) speaking of old enough... who is he to her? If he’s her dad he had her when he was 14. If he’s not... even worse.

My Detective's Office is living on top of a 7 foot bookshelf until l rearrange my office and get proper shelving in there. I also only put modulars together after they're in bed. Helping hands will come later. Maybe.

A lot of my collection is just staying stored until my kid is old enough to play with it, but some of the sets I got for fun building. Not really into displaying so I just break down and rebag, treating them sort of like jigsaw puzzles. If she wants to play with em someday she’ll get to that point

My then 6 now 7 yo daughter helped me build Ninjago City Docks and Voltron, and likes to say "no helping, dad" with the Friends sets she got for Christmas. For the last 2 years she'll regularly ask to get out the TFA Falcon and uses it as a dollhouse for whatever minifigures and minidolls she can find, it's rather adorable. I don't think I'd trust her with the modulars unsupervised, but she's shown herself to be gentle and respectful so far. I have the Popup Party Bus hidden for when first semester grades come out, she's gonna flip her poo poo. As much as I have tried to nerd out my son, he's obsessed with exercise pants, compression shirts and Fortnite and not much else, he just builds the minifigures and fights with them.

Where'd you get a Wall-E? I missed it and I kind of want it so if they're available for a reasonable price I might be interested.

Speaking of Wall-E... Most of us have somewhat limited space. What do you currently have on display, and if you had to take everything down, what would be the last set or sets standing? For me: Wall-E Disney Castle Destiny's Bounty Joker Manor Ninjago City + Docks Bennys Spaceship X3 Temple of Airjitzu DB5 Metalbeards Sea Cow The last standing would be Wall-E. He's small and sits on my desk and it's Wall-E. The other one that seems to be permanent is the Castle. It has a good spot that it fits perfectly. I'm planning on taking down Ninjago City and putting something new there soon. Probably Assembly Square which I still haven't built.

My daughter has a ton of the Friends sets and she generally does a great job putting them together. When she was 7 she got the giant Disney Castle for Christmas. I helped her a bit here and there but she managed to put most of it together. Took us like a month to finish it. It's been displayed in her room for a couple years now and she hasn't destroyed it.

If you do get Wall-E be aware that there are two versions. The early Wall-E sets had a neck that wasn't great and you could request a parts pack to fix it. Later sets came with the fixed neck.

I got a bunch of classic space on display, all the creator expert cars, saturn v, wall-e. Most recent additions are the statue of liberty and hogwarts. I'm officially out of space though, so to show anything new I have to put something else away. Most recent casualties were batman lego stuff.

That's one of my next plans. To build the stuff w/ all the baseplates connected. It would be on the dining room table so only for a couple days.

I'm lucky enough that I have a hallway that just leads to a bathroom, yet is inexplicably about 2.5 times the width of a normal hallway and two of the walls go nowhere. It's like the size of small room but useless as room. So that's my Star Wars "room". It's nice cause it gives me a whole area just for Lego in my relatively small living space. Although I'm running out of space there too lol. Other than that, my non-SW collection is relatively small and relegated to a cabinet that my Landlord asked if she could keep here (full of small comic, Ideas sets and minifigures), and a few sets in my bedroom. I think if I was limited in space, the last sets standing would be Wall E, UCS Falcon, Ninjago City/Docks, newest X Wing, UCS Snowspeeder and Tron. If it only came down to one I'd have a really hard time choosing between Ninjago City and the UCS Falcon. It would probably boil down to the Falcon, but only because it was a gift. Otherwise NC would probably win out. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Jan 6, 2019 |

UCS Falcon is flat and wide though. If space was a premium, I’d want something tall, but with not much footprint.

Ultrakatty is a neat set but it begs for some modding. Most imperative is ball joints for the bottom 2 connectors for the legs.

He'll run into a friend from school out somewhere and FORTNITE DANCE PARTY in the middle of a store aisle. Then other kids that they don't know at all join in. I replaced all the random Star Wars people I had outfitted in Benny's Spaceship with the Space Squad guys, plus a lone M-Tron figure I have left from when I was a kid.

They're my whole focus and passion when it comes to building and I have all of the official classic cars. I could arrange them to fit various small spaces if need be, too.

Does it have instructions for combining ultra kitty and the escape buggy? I have the escape buggy and it kinda shows that in the back of the manual and on the box but there aren’t like instructions. Getting ultra kitty and the captain marvel set from shop@home soon.

My kids have a large (60L) tub of random Lego to play with - there's been a few bent antennae, etc. over the years, and I'm fairly certain some smaller pieces have ended up in the vacuum. The only display set I really care about is the Saturn V, and that's not particularly playable for someone who's shorter than it.
