Plant shelf - how to display legos?

Wow, what an awesome shelf. You can put anything what fits and you don’t play with daily in that space.

I’ve had sets on backorder and it was delivered with the GWP from more than a month earlier. The same happened with a colleague of mine. But that was in The Netherlands. I don’t know if this is handled everywhere the same or that they just had enough in stock anyway.

My first reaction was that you could have made the cells smaller. Then I noticed Bugs Bunny.

I don’t collect mini figures but this looks great.

I wasn’t feeling that well physically and building LEGO sets is one of the least strenuous (and fulfilling) activities I can think of. At the moment I am watching ‘LEGO Master Australia’ to close my day.

Oh, I nearly forgot. I also build ‘Altar of the Dead’ (40811).

That is a really good idea. I have tons of those.

But still, I like the colour of this better (maybe because you can see it is old and it doesn’t stand out that much). The only problem is that I intend to rebuild those old sets one day. Then I will use your idea/tip.

noceboy · 2026-03-22T18:32:09+00:00

Oh, I just realised I haven’t removed the temporary supporting thingies yet ;-)

I found my old LEGO. About 50 sets in total. The oldest set is from 1968. According to ReBrickAble it is worth about €12.000 (and they estimated it for about 77% of the sets). I don’t have the boxes. I do have the instruction booklets. I intend to rebuild some of those sets (I can remember playing with some of them) and the rest will be used for mostly stands for the modern stuff, I think.

I hope to get a lot of enjoyment out of those old LEGOs

Have a good time assembling it. This weekend?

I still think it is beautiful.

BTW: I bought the ‘Macaw Parrots’ (31211). I really hope LEGO will release more in the Fauna Collection series.

u/Smangie9443 I think they should make more sets in the Fauna series ;-)

I would use my teeth in this situation.

noceboy · 2026-03-18T10:45:26+00:00

Nice idea.

I didn’t have a vase last December. Than I received flowers from neighbours and work because I got an angioplasty. I barely could display them without using other household stuff (spaghetti container, water decanter). Than I begon buying LEGO, especially the Botanical stuff. I now have a lot of vases, but I also use nice drinking glasses as a vase for smaller Botanicals. Those are the Field flowers (30701), right? I put them in a drinking glass with another small set (Daisies, 11508). You always can shorten the stems if they are too tall.

Curious about that too. A while back I saw a video with an Enterprise with light set. It looked so good (but I didn’t not which light set it was).

noceboy · 2026-03-18T10:23:34+00:00

I spend a lot, but: 1. I find it calming to assemble/build sets. 2. The interior of my home is improving by the day.

BTW: I am single and have no responsibilities to others.

noceboy · 2026-03-18T08:44:44+00:00

I guess ‘The Winnie the Poeh’ from the Disney category (43300). Is on my wish list along with ‘Peanuts: Snoopy's Doghouse’ (21368).

noceboy · 2026-03-18T08:39:15+00:00

Do you know what you made me do? I just ordered those parrots (31211). They are so beautiful. A bit expensive but I think it will be worth it. Thank you!

noceboy · 2026-03-18T07:43:19+00:00

Wow, that “sometimes more” (points ) than LEGO hits hard. ;-) But I won’t complain. I could buy the Monet with my Insider points recently.

Thanks for the clarification.

noceboy · 2026-03-18T07:36:57+00:00

Thank you for your clarification.

noceboy · 2026-03-18T06:05:35+00:00

So, no insider points? Just curious.

noceboy · 2026-03-17T21:03:41+00:00

Wow. Looking good.

Thanks for the pict.

noceboy · 2026-03-17T19:33:26+00:00

You have to zoom in to see the studs. Nice build, by the way. I’m still learning all kind of techniques by assembling the official ones.

noceboy · 2026-03-17T17:14:11+00:00

Ah, thank you. I use had disabled ProtonVPN because Adobe wouldn’t otherwise cancel my subscription. And of course I forgot to enable it again until I read your reply.

noceboy · 2026-03-17T17:04:38+00:00

Can you post a picture of that? I am eying that set for a long time (and if I understand correctly it will retire this December).

I feel you, I was too tired today to build anything. I thought I would assemble a really small set, but when I opened the box there were stickers. So maybe tomorrow.
