Actually using the time being stuck inside, to finally start putting together the Ghostbusters fire house, I got almost a year ago.
I was into Legos growing up, but as I got older, just fell out of it, but them, maybe 7 or 8 years ago, when my nephew was younger, and started getting into them, it got me back into them, with helping him put them together. It's funny, a few years ago at Christmas my mother actually got me a few sets, because my nephew got to the point, he didn't need help with them anymore, and she realized, it bummed me out a bit, that I couldn't help him, so she got me some of my own.

I have the Ecto-1 that a fan designed. It's one of the best detailed Lego sets there is.

Lol I've had that Ecto-1 for a few years now, and I never even realized it was one of those fan designed ones until you said it. It really is a well detailed one.

The DeLorean Time Machine one not so much It really is, and it's nice that you get the all four of the guys to come with the set too. Didn't realize that awful re-boot got a Lego set too, but man, I wouldn't even take it if someone gave it to me for free.

I wish I had the firehouse set

I wish I had the firehouse set I got lucky. My dad knew someone that's friends with the woman that runs the Lego store, in their Connecticut offices, and we were able to go there on friends and family day, where people that don't work there, can actually go in the shop. He got a bunch of stuff for my nephew, and I saw the firehouse, wasn't going to get it, but he talked me into it. Glad I did, because when we checked out, the woman was saying, that the set was getting near being retired, and what they had, was probably the last of it.

I love how Lego keeps updating The Knight Bus, and Luke's Landspeeder. They keep improving them every so many years

Same here. Looking forward to what Seinfeld, Home Alone, and The rumored Looney Tune mini figures look like.

Funny this was bumped today, because I almost purchased a Lego Batmobile this morning at Walmart. It was the first time I had gone into the Lego aisle in about 7 months.

I've thought about buying some, but they are fairly expensive and I dont really have space I agree. Some of the prices are ridiculous. But if it's something I reeeeally like, I'll probably buy it & keep it boxed.

I mainly get Architecture sets anymore because they aren't as big as the Modular Buildings and I have simply run out of room on my old bed frame that houses my Lego city. It's in an awkward spot to where It's hard to take good pictures of the Modular City. I did some redecorating in my Man Cave in my attic and my bedroom today and brought down some Architecture sets from a shelf in my attic. I currently am in the process putting stuff away and just rearranging my massive collection. My attic man cave houses the majority of my Lego Collection, such as my Maersk Triple E Container Ship, some Technic sets and various scale model Lego cars that are oversized sets. It's hard to organize it all. I moved the new Architecture The White House, US Capitol Building and Lincoln Memorial to my bedroom dresser. All 3 fit perfectly on the dresser. I also have the Empire State Building Architecture set that is too tall to display in my Attic man cave. All I need is a Lego King Kong to go with my Emprire State Building. Here's what is in my bedroom The Empire State Building The new expanded White House with both the East and West Wings, The US Capitol Building and the Lincoln Memorial. I'll be getting the Architecture Tokyo Skyline set for my birthday

We have the entire set of Harry Potter at home. My 11 year old son loves putting them together and I'm just allowed to watch. Seeing Hogwarts in LEGO all connected together is a wonderful sight.

Awesome store in my local mall doing great deals on classic LEGO sets. Was able to walk out with $110 purchase for only $50. Scored complete sets of LEGO System Ninja sets 6083 and 6088.
