Lego has changed so much over the years and the possibilities are endless as to what you can create…. With the help of a box or bricks and some instructions… or maybe you’re just super creative!
I love building Lego, it’s therapeutic and relaxing. And there is always a wow at the end as I finally complete a set.
who else enjoys it? What have you built?
I hope this space inspires others to give it a go!

@Captain24 @rav3n
I’ve had one or 2 sets missing a piece.
because I keep all the extra pieces from each set I already had the piece or was able to put pieces together.
only once have I ordered a piece, that was my fault it couldn’t be found
trying not to rush putting the mauve bear together. 3 rounds together so far = half inch in height. Estimated height when finished 12 1/2 inches. Info on team says 4500 pieces. Definitely lots and lots of little square pieces in the package

oh wowww that's such a good streak of no missing/incorrect pieces! @Captain24
i'm 98% sure i got 1 incorrect piece for the set i worked on this weekend (the 2% chance could be that i lost the piece and didn't notice). instead of a flat tile, i got a brick one of the same colour and shape. luckily the placement of the incorrect piece makes in unnoticeable!
@Former-Member woahhh 4500 pieces!!! they're hard to put down once you get started, hey!

@rav3n Pictures are the 1st of 14 steps completed.
both feet measures approx 2 1/4 in front to back, 2 in wide, 1 in high. Instruction sheet says I’ve used 180 pieces so far. Pieces are only 2 shapes and are about 3/16 in high.
@Captain24 wow!! Sounds like you have might have a big collection 😀

Yeah I have a few @Former-Member
I can’t see the photos @rav3n
Sounds like a good idea for hobbies.

@rav3n What you referred to as jagged edges are how the pieces join together. When in the right spots, the edges lock together. (So I found out at just before midnight last night on YouTube). When not in the right spot the pieces just slide against each other. Been a interesting and frustrating learning experience
