What's your LEGO 'status' today?

Si_UKNZ

If this were facebook for Lego, what would your status be today?
(not that mine's particularly interesting, but Im just wondering what everyone else is thinking about today)

Mine would be "Trying to build baubles and animals, plus MVR if I get time"

StuBoy

Haha! Great topic. Mine would be "Finishing the Winter Village Bakery now my 2 year old has gone to bed and won't scatter the pieces"

bor2112

STOP SHOPPING FOR LEGO NO ROOM LEFT

MinifigsMe

^ ha ha - ditto!
But mostly - "must make custom footballers and roller derby minifigs" - got to get as many as possible out before Christmas (also Claret = dark red - stupid aston villa!)

LostInTranslation

"Am I EVER going to find time to rebuild my Winter village before Christmas?"
and
"Desperately seeking my Season 6 fix"!
:)

Edit: Do I actually need a Lego winter village when it's currently snowing here a bit anyway?? Yes, of course I do!

bor2112

Seriously, "looking forward to another build with my little guy" (we had a great time with farm and tractor last night and we need to continue building the gifts still MISB from last year so that there is room for the new ones santa brings)

atkinsar

^^ thought it was west ham, Geoff will be most upset if you get that one wrong ;-)

Jasen

"Need to find time to film time lapse build of Fire Station Modular :D"

MinifigsMe

^^ I have a villa request too! Gonna have to take a pic of the "team" when done. Not had the football pitch out for a while!

pantboy

@Savage_Steel Oi, they may be talentless footballers managed by a muppet, but their intelligence is beyond reproach ;-)

mine will shortly be "sorting through some boxes trying to find a CMF samurai to borrow his Claret (stupid dark red) torso"

MinifigsMe

^ ha ha ha! I guess I should start stocking up on them if the football request keep coming in. The torso colour is also found on spiderman's mary jane, and some some kingdoms figs. But figured the samurai is easier to find at the mo. Might have to call up lego and see if I can get some direct.

Si_UKNZ

OK. mine has now changed to
"Going nuts for the Lego LOTR licence news"

LostInTranslation

^ What he said :)

stagus

Crumpled and bought the Sith....actually...wooohoooo, nearly Xmas!

legonut80

mine would be "day 5 of Lego shopping ban, doing really well just reserving on argos and imagining collecting"

LostInTranslation

^ lol, I kept doing that during my ban too. Just takes the edge of the craving ;) ... and I never did go in and collect any of them!

Huw

@Si, I think most of us will have changed our status to that. In fact I might just log on to FB and post my first update of the year!

mr_benn

'Putting all the stuff from the John Lewis sale last week into a better place where my wife won't find it'

Lambringo

"How do I break it to the girlfriend that LoTR is coming to LEGO, and I am going to kill the bank account"

luckyruss

^^^ what Huw said! Facebook status now official. There is no other way!

madforLEGO

MUST CONVINCE SELF TO STOP BUYING AND BUILD SETS FOR SALE!!!!

Jenni

Can't get to Christmas party clothes because of boxes of Lego in closet.

Legoboy

If this were facebook for Lego, what would your status be today?

Broke!

BrickDancer

"Will work for bricks"

Silber334

Mine is, "looking at the local directory for a Lego Anonymous group to save himself from his addiction and the crazy money spending on Legos" (j/k)

sidersdd

"Invoicing, packing, shipping, buying, receiving, parting, listing... repeat."

Odindusk

"Day four in a row without a new set in the mail today. Feel empty. Sad. Hope... fading..."

Zathras

"Wishing that Huwbot wasn't my Homepage"

Honestly I think there are illicit drugs that are less dangerous than the Amazon tracker.

Steve_J_OM

"Sweating on pre-Christmas postage!"

drdavewatford

"Wishing that Huwbot wasn't my Homepage"

Honestly I think there are illicit drugs that are less dangerous than the Amazon tracker.

We aim to please !

Matthew

Queuing at the Post Office for hours on end

Trying to sell some of these sets that are 'for resale'

Trying to resist buying some more sets 'for resale' (very likely not)

Si_UKNZ

Just finished MVR build, v nice. Not buying anything til next week.

Supersympa

"Not buying anything til next week"
Shall we bet on that Si?
I told myself the samething a few days ago
:)

Si_UKNZ

:)
(* Unless the retailers panic and start their sales before Christmas)

LostInTranslation

Very sad Lego status... never found time to build Winter village at the weekend, about 6 days behind on my advent calendar, and also haven't managed to pick up any leprechauns to do a St Patricks day vignette for the Lego calendar I'm making for my brother for Christmas... :'(

Legoboy

"More broker"

Chompers

Have just finished packaging up my last resale sets before the postage dead line. Need to resist buying anything else until saturday night. Gave my debit card to my 2 year old daughter to hide :) and have now tapped my hands behind my back!!!

legonut80

wow i made it a week without buying Lego! something tells me it will be a while before i can say that again :)

MinifigsMe

"minifigures!" - thanks nice man in WHSmiths who let me use multiple coupons so I could put figs in my christmas cards. (he said he was jealous so I gave him one a thanks, now he probably thinks I'm weird!)

Si_UKNZ

Gave up on Emerald shunter MoC. PF receiver's too big! Just building another EN instead.

LostInTranslation

Now intrigued wondering what is in the xmas present I got today from the lovely @princedraven :) It feels like it might be Lego-ey but I'll restrain myself til the Big Day. Cheers dude!

pantboy

My status has just changed to "wondering what are these coupons for minifigures at WHS, and where can i get some?"

princedraven

Pleased to hear LostInTranslation's present has arrived. Love the giving element of Christmas!!

princedraven

Oh and hoping L.I.T. doesn't open it till the big day...

LostInTranslation

^ Course I won't! I have SOME willpower you know... :) Plus I won't have that many presents (sob, sob) on the big day so I'll want something to open.

The_Brick_Builder

Must sell stuff on eBay to fund my LEGO City!

Supersympa

my status is "on hold now"
I have bought (or my mum did for me) a imperial flagship on saturday
and that is about it...I am happy that i have not found more deals...yet!

tdhbr

Watching my (almost) 8-year-old assemble the Death Star virtually by himself. He lets me find pieces for him so he can build faster.

bor2112

Ack! Has changed from "STOP SHOPPING FOR LEGO NO ROOM LEFT" to
"STOP SHOPPING FOR LEGO NO ROOM nor MONEY LEFT"

LostInTranslation

Filled with love for all my Brickset buddies :) Thank you muchly @Savage_Steel for my Forest minifigs, Xmas card and storage containers! And also @atkinsar and Russell844 for my Xmas wreaths! And @everyone else just because :)

legoDad

@tdhbr..wow, great builder you have there. Not yet 8 and is already mastering a UCS.
The best my kid did was at 7 he built the Agents Helicopter and did well with the technic and rubber band mechanism to make the blades rotate alternately.

Status: "Took pics of Micro Tie-Fighter from the Star Wars Advent...posted it on Flickr...day dreaming of what Santa will bring me Xmas...:)"
