    My son is hugely into it. In fact we’ve just returned from Legoland. I do less and less as he gets older and more capable with it but he needed a fair bit of help with the Death Star and I have to admit it was a lot of fun

    Love Lego.

    My son went through a brief phase after visiting LEGOLAND, where after every ride you exit through a gift shop.

    Built the X-wing which I gave to him when the ex and I split, didn't have the room to take it with me. It now sits in a 100 pieces in their garage, along with every other Lego kit he bought.

    Lepin used to be a good cheaper alternative but they got raided after Lego claimed they had stolen their idea. Ironic, as Lego stole the idea.

    My daughter is showing a vague interest, she's only 5 and has a limited supply of blocks but its great having a toy that i can actually get my teeth into rather than bloody dolls and plastic kitchen sets (its all so cliche!)

    Keep meaning to have a look on eBay and see if i can buy some more, just a box of randoms like i used to with Scalextric track.

    I probably shouldn't be as excited as I am that a Lego shop is opening in Southampton soon.
    Can't sing, can't dance, can handle a guitar a little.

    I love Lego, did as a kid myself and love building with the kids now. There is something quite therapeutic about it. I have a Technic rough construction crane still boxed and ready to start building. Largest current Lego set apparently. Far too old for my kids at the minute but will make a nice project for us all!

    Oh nice, I reckon my oldest is ready to move up to lego by then...although that means leaving a trail of choking hazards for the younger one......

    My son is just getting into the Lego juniors sets.  Has definitely rekindled my love for it.

    My parents also found a huge tub of my old Lego in their attic.  It’s amazing that we’ve managed to find the old build instructions for some of the sets from a couple of websites. 

    The bad part is that every time I go to get lunch from the big Sainsbury’s near my office, I want to buy him a set!

    I may have succumb to the lure of the Lego store in Cardiff when I was there last week, and spent far more money than I had planned.

    I did buy the little cherry picker kit, so I could test out my old camera, and have something (semi-)meaningful to learn Devinci Resolve with. This was the final result-

     
    I know lighting was rubbish and is reflected in the image quality, but I'm keen for opinions on the general flow of the video. (Skip to 3:07 if you just want to see a little bit stop motion animation)

    I'd like to do the same with the other sets I bought, but not sure if I've got the patience to do the same style with 580, 1000, and 2500 piece sets :-/
