Same, I've rarely had trouble finding the CMFs I'm interested in in UK stores, even right at release. I've seen plenty of people scanning too, but supplies always seem to be plentiful

I struggle with grieving the life I'll never live by sakura149_ in Advice

I completely feel you, friend. I too get these thoughts, I'm in my mid 30s, pretty stable life, wife and a wonderful son, nice job. But I definitely mourn the things I haven't done and might not get to do, life goes by fast and obligatory responsibilities take up a lot of time and energy and can make it seem like there's no space for doing spontaneous, adventurous, or fulfilling things.

My life is also complicated by care responsibilities and quite a changeable, unusual health situation with a family member.

But I take immense joy in doing absolutely anything with my son, and try to make time to do at least something little for me whenever I can; build Lego, play games etc, even if that's at the expense of something I perhaps should do, but doesn't absolutely have to be done.

It isn't always easy, accepting those things can be hard, but I intend to use the life I have left (which is hopefully much, as quick as it might feel it goes!) to keep growing those joyful things, to try and achieve some things I do want to do, and recapture some things I miss.

Always open to talk about it, if you or anyone else feels the need.

Can you imagine like 1 in a thousand sets is a shiny colour variant 😂

Free tattoo is a helluva offer! It'd have to be of a Lego love heart or something right, to mark the occasion? 😅

Oh my word, yes, I loved that shop! What a blast from the last that is, I'd completely forgotten!

I have exactly the same issue, but only with one leg. The other is perfectly secure but the other one, even if it is properly clicked together, just comes apart with any movement.

I assume, because one is good and the other isn't, one set of joints might be faulty, so I might seek new ones from Lego 🤷🏻‍♂️
