LEGO builds for Adults

It seems it's the time of year again when I post how absolutely ridiculous it is when parents buy their kids Lego for Christmas and put it all together for them ready for Christmas morning.

Absolutely barmy behaviour. The whole point in Lego is the putting it together otherwise you are just giving them a shite toy that falls apart at the first hint of playing with it.

Next the OP will be telling us he has a model railroad and an acid bath in his outhouse (for disposing of the dismembered bodies of the people he’s murdered).

Oh no...

While I have a lot of loose LEGO, I think I'd go spare if that happened to any of my stuff. Mainly because it would take bloody ages to find all the bits again!

I've got a few sets from my childhood and kept the boxes and the pieces together - since suffered the fate of every other set in the house. It drives me round the twist when they mix their sets up but nowhere near as much as my Mrs hoying the boxes out.

I'm off to get some Kragle.

FFS... You poor man.
You collapse the boxes and store them together in a box. It's not hard.
Kragle your Mrs.

I'd have gone leet with that like.

It used to be piss me reet off when I'd start a jigsaw on the dining table, go to bed leaving it for the next day, only to get up and discover that me bloody mother had sat up all night finishing the fucker. Caused havoc when I'd promptly dismantle the hower in a huff.

Bit extreme. She only finished a jigsaw.
WAHEY!

But seriously, hope your Ma is doing well after her run in with Covid.

Not quite that, but it can be used post advent as well or if they don’t want it, lego sets hold their value really well. Expecting not to lose out on it at all.

I've just made someone we know's kid's Christmas.
I owned a DC LEGO set probably a fair few years old now. Anyway, I hadn't rebuilt it since we moved house and their little lad had seen it somewhere but it's a retired set.
Going for about £180 on eBay.
I've given it to his Mam for him. LEGO should be enjoyed, not kept in a box. I hope he loves it.
