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

I like Lego I can not lie... and while 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 this 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.

The brick count does not count spare parts, 2nd hand Lego, small sets that can not be registered or non Lego sets.
