RIDER ADVICE

SMIDSY (Sorry Mate I Did Not See You) is a real issue that we as riders are mostly on the receiving end of.  Humans are fallible beings, and research shows that our visual system evolved to accurately track objects at around 20 km/h, moving across our field of vision, not coming towards us.  So as humans, we are terrible in judging speed accurately when an object is coming towards us and moving faster than the evolutionary 20 km/h speed limit.

Click on the TAGS above for a quick search and sort of my sets.

I like Lego I can not lie... I am not what they call a purist, meaning I only buy Lego and nothing else... Not all models I have are Lego. (I will say if they are are Lego or not. Click the "Non Lego Blocks" tag above). I also have not taken photo's of all my models  and will put in an official image if I have not got a photo of my build. I will eventually take photo's of all my builds over time. Also I don't just collect the big black special official kits I also collect certain "City" and "Technic" and various other themed kits.

I do have one gripe the grinds my wheels though... Stop calling it "Legos", it is simply "Lego"Is it "Legos" or simply "Lego"? The Lego company, the mastermind behind these iconic toy, has a firm stance on this matter. They adamantly maintain that the correct plural form is "LEGO bricks" or "LEGO sets," treating "Lego" as an adjective rather than a noun.

I don't have a huge number of sets. The above set count are only those sets that have been made and registered. There are several still not made and or not registered or listed here. Also the brick count does not count spare parts, 2nd hand Lego, or non Lego sets. However there are quite a few sets I want before the retire and a few I want that are due to be released.

Current sets to be made are;
