Grand idea! I'm happy to help revive this thread. I would love to see what fellow Lego fans are working on/own/what's on their wishlist, happy Lego memories. . . whatever. I will post some stuff later on today - I'm supposed to be working right now.

P.S. - My avatar is a custom build I did of Bob Ross and a Happy Little Tree. We're big fans of him in our house.

I haven't played with Lego for many years, but it was my favourite toy when I was a kid. I remember there being a TV advert in the 70s - 'Lego - it's a new toy every day.' Very true! I didn't have a massive collection of Lego, but what I did have I passed onto my daughter when she was a kid, and we added to it a bit. She's grown up now, and the Lego is in the attic. I mainly used to build houses with my Lego, and go-carts for my Barbie sized dolls to ride round in. I also had quite a few Lego people, and some Lego furniture. I never got the Lego bedroom set - I sometimes think I might try to track down a 1970's Lego bedroom set on Ebay, just to complete my collection! I remember one thing I didn't like about the Lego toilet was that it was square, which I didn't think looked very realistic. Times change, though - my daughter has recently moved into her own house, and it has a square toilet!

Not the greatest pictures - taken with my old iPad. And please excuse the dust! Ugh, just dusted this shelf a couple of weeks ago - those with Lego know the never-ending attraction of dust to it.

This is one of the sets in my collection, started off my love of buildings and modulars. This is the Old Fishing Store. I love the vintage, ramshackle look of it and the details are amazing - like the lobster sitting on ice in a crate and the crooked tiles on the roof. The inside is equally amazing. I'm also a sucker for all the unique little animals, birds and critters that Lego makes.

Ooooo, ahhhh! The Bricklink Designer Lego set I ordered last June arrived on my doorstep last night. Spending my 50th birthday playing with Lego seems a fitting way young to stay young, haha. This set is pretty special - crowdfunded and only 10,000 made so I feel fortunate to get my hands on a set.

Wow, I love the late '80s, early '90s throwback Castle theme. I remember that look and those factions from when I was a kid. Happy building!

The newest addition to the Lego minifigure collection - the Muppets! Ha! These bring back some fond childhood memories - all my family, including my mum, dad and Nana, would sit and watch The Muppets together.

What’s your fav? For me, I think it’s either Animal & Janice or Dr, Bunsen Honeydew & Beaker.

Newest Lego build, my son and I just finished building it - the Hungarian Horntail from the Harry Potter collection.

A couple of my newest builds. The London postcard I just built today - had a wicked rain/snow storm come through today and we lost power for a while so I kept myself occupied with LEGO.

The motorized lighthouse I finished about a week ago. I got this set last Christmas but I’ve been saving it to build in the Maritimes - since I’m now living here, I figured it was the perfect time to finally build it. It‘s an amazing set, the way the mechanized parts go together is quite ingenious.

OMG, a lighthouse! One of my dreams It's so cool!

It’s well worth the money if you can get your hands on the set. I have the Old Fishing Store set that came out a few years ago too - going for a whole seaside theme.

If I could I'd got most of the them
All my sets are now left at my previous place and I can't get them for now

I haven't looked at Lego sets in quite awhile, but it looks like they are a lot more realistic looking these days.
