Ok here is the problem. I used to play with lego some 20 odd years ago. There where a few things that I had hoped had come about by now. Only way to find out was to go to Lego and take a look.

Well they now not only do remote control like I had hoped they would but now you can use Blue Tooth to control your creations.

There are now a lot of things on my wish list. These include
Truck Number 8536
Street Bike Number 8420
Mobile Crane number 8421

You can also download a digital designer. This will allow you to build you creations and after you have added the finishing touches then you can order them from Lego directly and they will price it out for you and send it to your door. WAY COOL!!!!

On the down side to this you still can't design Technic monsters ..... yet

If its instructions that you in need of then I would seggest that you try going to Peeron™ LEGO© Set Inventories

After becoming the custodian of the Lego collection I have sorted through about half of the sets and put them on display in my hallway for now. There are some photos that I have taken







Some of the sets had not been assembled so I set to putting some of them together. The bucket Wheel Excavator was in this list but as I already had one I decided to make this up into the secondary set"


I have just built the Diner 10260 and I'm currently in the process of building 10218 Pet Shop

Lego Changes
Thursday 04 January 2024

How things have changed.


Back in 2022 my uncle had decided that it was time to move out of where he was living. As part of that move he had decided to offload some of his gear to others. A phone call and and a bit of rushing around saw me flying down to meet my partnts and driving up to see him to pick up this trailer




Also during this time there was a lot of rain and the road that would have made the trip back home take about 3 hours ended up taking us 7 hours because of the detour that we had to take.

Fortunatly I had taken that into account and we had just enough spare time to be able to make it in time for the ferry

What I haden't taken into consideration when pmaking plans was the size of the trailer. I had planned to put it into my Sisters garage over night to keep it safe. Unfortunatly the trailer didn't fit and at midnight there were not a lot of options. This meant that I had to chang emy plans and put it up my drive for thenight.



The next morning it was time to unload the box on the trailer and what was inside was the following




To put a long story a little shorter there were about 190 lego sets from my uncles years of collecting. I don't really consider it my collection but rather that I'm the current custodion of this collection. My job is to care for it, add to the collection and find someone in the family to look after it when the time comes.

A current list of what I now have can be found for now on BrickSet

New lego
Monday 13 February 2017

Finally after a few years I'm now able to add a couple of lego sets to my collection.

The first is set number 42029 the Lego Customised Pick up Truck. I also got the optional motor set to add motorised functionally which includes extending the winch on the front as well as raising and lowering the deck as well. I'm very happy with the set and unlike my other sets this one has stayed assembled for well over a year now.

The other set I have just finished this year was set number 42043, The Mercedes-Benz 42043 Arocs 3245. To say I love this set would be an under statement. Previously my most complicated set was the Tow Truck set 8285. The Mercedes-Benz truck was just as complicated if not a little more and took me about 50% more time to complete. With its four functions including a motoried phunamitc pump which controls 4 sections of the arm and deck tipping it made for an interesting build. I'm very hapy with this build it looks very neat and tidy.

The only other sets that I would love to add to my collections are set number 42055 and set 42056 but as these are priced well outside my current price range it could be a while before I get my hands on these sets.

I'm sorry to say folks that I haven't been able to add any more sets to my collection. Contributions are gladly welcome.

I'm hoping to add a few more sets even if they are small sets but for now I'm also thinking about starting up a model railway as well. If this does start then I will add a new section to it on this site as well.

On a side note I have been invited to a mates house to look at his lego room. He says that it is a room that is fully layed out with road blocks and buildings. If I do manage to get there I will try to add some photos.

Got the truck 8285
Thursday 18 September 2008

OK I've had this for a while now but seeing as the site is back on again I thought that I should put this here.

For christmas 2007 my uncle gave me the tow truck. I have always wanted this since I got back into lego.

I had to pick it up from the harbour as my uncle lives accorss a little bit of water that costs a lot of money to travel accross. After I finally got the kit I set to putting it together. 8 hours later, spread over 3 days I finally had the kit assembled and it looks great. I will post some photos soon.
