I'm definitely getting lego for Christmas, it's a secret Santa ,the budget is 20 Euro and I'm like a kid wanting to open them, I've also been doing advent calendars -2017 & 2018 city ,1 from each every other day so it'll last til 2nd week of January
-
Well I'm declaring victory on Christmas presents.
My missus got me the hogwarts castle.
-
Lucky you and all the HP movies are on over christmas
-
The Secret Santa i did got me "wanted list" stuff ,Wife and Daughter for me T-Rex transport and my brother gave me 40anniversary technic gyro copter ...all leading to a fuller house and an even more unhappy Wife but isn't that what Christmas is all about
-
Santa (myself) got me the 5004419 Classic Knights Minifigure (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=5004419-1) commemorative set.
It is an updated version of the 6012 Siege Cart (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=6012-1) which I've fond memories of and comes with a cool booklet.
Also got 101 grey 3009 bricks!

Will the knight remain boxes of a free agent

Recycling time- well what did Sandy claws bring ,I opened ZR1 corvette ,nice but a little see through ,and waiting on a late secret Santa (20 Euro budget and I've seen some gifts -bad dealfinders) not a big haul but lego is lego so bring it on
-
Built a secret Santa present of 60231 ,freya mccloud -fire chief with no helmet or breathing apparatus, I'm a 6wide fan but this is overly massive with no doors ,and ladder so high it'd need a ladder to get it .it was on my wanted list but it's definitely a kid toy .my only positive was how roof is held up by a 2x1 hinge plate ,oh and the new axe.has a parts wasting so saved a few by not using them.my enjoyment was building from pictures of occasional glances at manual, big pick-up but I can't big it up for an adult collection
-
I love the mug with the flaming marshmallow that set John!
Better late than never but I was thrilled with my Christmas haul:
Himself: 60202 People Pack - Outdoor Adventures
60249 Street Sweeper
60233 Donut Shop Opening
Brickset Secret Santa: 70420 Hidden Side Graveyard Mystery
Me (I always buy myself a Christmas present!): 31097 Townhouse, Petshop & Cafe
My 8 year old was given 42098 Car Transporter by his uncle as a birthmas present 😲 Actually so glad that I don’t like a technic or I would be soooo jealous!!
-
The technic set would be my go to, just had to see Your B.S. name, I say I won't do it next year but I will, some gifting isn't as good as others, but it's nice to receive
-
I got the hidden side haunted high school, 70425. Really enjoyed building which I only got to do yesterday. Haven't got the app to it yet but it was a fun build with lots of hidden features. Was away for a couple of weeks with no mobile reception and no where to put my Lego but it was worth the wait :)
-
Id love to get more of the Hidden Side but repetitive figures and i wont play the app game although my Daughter is going all game mad ,at 6 so might get more cheap ones (have the lab -unopened) ,they're actually
Great for Halloween displays
-
My Secret Santa on Brickset have me the Porsche -I've drooled for this set from day one, I'm a Porsche fan anyway! 3 polybags ;metalbeard ,so fuego cannon and a 4-wide police car????????! Porsche driver ain't afraid of this cop. Cannon does not fire ..merely pop
-
My children know me so well. Star Wars Lego. A Brickheadz Mandalorian for my desk 😀
Even my wife that complains that there is too Much LEGO in the house got me some Harry Potter Lego!
Hope Christmas was good for the rest of you
-
New year ,new build month , possibly a present for myself , i was given a minecraft set -my daughter specifically picked it out for me(I hate anything minecraft) so this is my swap out 70419 shrimp boat. i've made it 2studs longer
-
Tidying away the advent calendars into the boxes they came in (now 4 full of goodies) I found 2 bags ,-a spare wand box and owl ,and a book ,a 9 3\4 ticket , a chocolate frog and 2x2 purple tile - card from chocolate frog, nice end of Christmas present
-
Privet Drive was a present I'd been putting off building and the calendars were my monthly build ,but I did tell my Wife just pick one from the PILE ,and this was it. I'm modifying it -slightly more depth and the staircase will be as it is in the movie
-
Due to extension ,parts overuse mean roofing isn't finished ,6 needed but 42 will take it higher
-
Must be a good few black slopes among all those bricks you've rescued!
-
As with the modification I never have the pieces I actually need, people that dump lego must not be in tune with me
-
Building by box art and turning 5-6 pages instead of 1 by 1, led me to placing reg plate on 2nd 1x2 black tile as opposed to the 1x4 plate on boot lid of Weasleys anglia , at least it could take 4 figs on non-bendy legs ( hope twins are in next year's advent calendar).
-
1-1-23 can only mean a late Christmas present but in reality it's my 1 set per month build. 76398 hospital wing a really great set and an iconic scene for a few movies. This is the prisoner of Azkaban one but Harry or Hermione from others could be posed too! I built using box art and skipping many pages. It felt like lego of old and better than the piece by piece pages of today.a great build with the clock mechanism to assemble too. Pity a spare cast and the baby skull went icluded,I'm a pessimist by nature sorry!

Star Wars trench 75329 (https://www.lego.com/en-ie/product/death-star-trench-run-diorama-75329) and a crazy expensive MelGeek Pixel keyboard (https://www.lug.ie/forum/index.php?topic=1149.0) for me.
Oh, and Speed Champions Lamborghini Countach and Aston Martin DB5
