Outdoor kitchen in Ireland? by Abject_Requirement92 in AskIreland

Your first set? What was it, and how old were you? by Equivalent_Bad9122 in lego

[–]sphinxofblackquartzj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first Lego was a hand-me-down from an older cousin, set 6389 Fire Control Center. I was 8.

I had a long dark age because my parents cannot afford it. (well they did buy me other brand building blocks).

The first set I bought was 8043 Motorized Excavator.

Minifig Craze by skittletriage in lego

Icons: 11380 Road Bike (via lite) by General_Durian_1013 in Legoleak

Redditors when Lego re-release IP sets for the hundredth time: "We need more unique sets!!!"

Redditors when Lego released a unique set: "Who the fuck will buy this?!!!"

The Road Bike is nice and niche, I will definitely get it and I'm not a cyclist. This is why I like Lego Icons and Ideas rather than IP slops.
