Welcome to SheClicksBricks. I'm just an AFOL having child like fun.
Later in life, I found some great hobbies in LEGO, Alternative Bricks , Lego Replicas and Puzzles. On this channel we document my descent into these dark hobbies. 🤣
If your looking for professionals, this channel is not for you. We are just a husband and wife having some fun. We are learning as we go and trying to improve.
Feel free to tag along and see where this journey takes us. I started with LEGO and now I find myself building more alternative bricks sets like Pantasy and Funwhole. I have found these alternative brick brands to be just as good and/or better than Lego. They are also less expensive.😊
Thank you for your support❤️

I like everything but the end
The moral reasoning and mental gymnastics is breathtaking, yikes. To me it's buying stolen goods. Giving money to thieves and enjoying illicit products. I'd say to people, if you can't afford Lego, don't buy it. In the last three years I've bought a few smaller sets. I wouldn't enjoy a fake clone big modular. It's like if I met a hot married woman looking for a casual short-term affair. Am I going to enjoy that? She's married. Not really. I'd rather find a single woman looking for long term. You could go for the married woman, but it's not the same. If she changes her mind and divorces to be with me, she's the same woman but legitimate status now. Clear conscience.
Love the cats! I build to help with stress and anxiety.
As a moc builder I love the creative outlet, expression of imagination, and problem solving Lego brings me.
I have watched a number of your videos and so far have really enjoyed your perspective. I was enjoying this one but you truly lost me with the destruction at the end. Why would you do that? I just don't get tit. Tempted me to unsubscribe to be honest. Just stupid.
Thank you for asking. Honestly this set was a cheap knock off of a MOC that I got from Amazon. The design was fine, the brick quality was extremely poor. The set was going in the garbage, not even good enough to donate, which is something we have done in the past. So I did something I have always wanted to do, but would never dare do to a good set. I can promise there will be no more intentional destruction of sets on the channel. All my remaining sets are good quality. It was not our intent to offend anyone. We do thank you for your support.🥰
I love it! Shoutout to Technic. Lego is a great hobby no matter the age and i love the social aspect too. Also, sweet sim rig! Im no master, but do enjoy Gran Turismo 7 every now and then!
Haha. We play Formula 1 as we are also F1 fans, and it is such a great way to let off some steam. It brings out my competitive side for sure, lol 😂😂. Thank you @onecleverpig for your ongoing support. ❤
76 year old male here. Started building technics last year. I'm hooked. We have a calico cat as well. Same cat attitude.
I love that. Technic can definitely be more challenging so I feel like if you can build technic, you can build anything, lol. Thank you so much for sharing 🩷
You hit most of my reasons. I love doing an hour of building at the end of the day to wind down. I agree, we have worked hard through the years and time for us to enjoy things we love. It is like a 3D puzzle that comes together. Keep clicking and showing what is out there. - tammy. PS. I have that set you smashed and I agree, one of my least favorites. LOL
Lol 😂😂😂. You may have noticed I didn't review this one. I have to admit, it sis feel good to drop. Thank you so much for sharing and your continued encouragement and support Tammy!!! Appreciate you ❤
🎉 Such a great video! I’m an advocate for play for women 40+, and your story is so similar to mine, especially how building with LEGO makes you feel. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
Thank you for the kind words. I never really understood the importance of a hobby before but wow, it has really helped chang my outlook on many things in life. 🥰 Thank you for being an advocate!!! 🩷
I have the dream of bringing all my Modular Buildings together to form my own little city, or at least a section of it. Two rows of houses with backyards facing each other and a green space in between, with trees, a playground and restaurants. I've just built a skate park next to the Funwhole skateshop. I've already greened and landscaped all the backyards of the Modular Buildings and transformed the Chinese Spring Lantern Festival into a normal park... Lots of things like that. It's all there in my head... I've collected so many wonderful minifigures for my city over the years. Many of them give themselves names 😀. I have no idea how to do this with UA-cam and my own channel. I have no space to set up the city and no money to rent space. But it remains a dream and if it ever happens, my UA-cam channel would be called: Stories of my Lego city. The stories come to me all by themselves, the figures tell them to me, the buildings tell them to me. I often rebuild them inside so that they can tell me what they tell me. For example, I built a bar into the jazz club and the whole weird audience sits there and admires the great singer Daphne Dolores Dunant ☺️. It's wonderful. The building is relaxed and beautiful and the stories are inspiring and fascinating. I just love it!
You have a wonderful imagination, and I love your story telling skills. As I was reading your comment, I can actually picture this city. Just amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤ Space can certainly be a problem which is the very reason my city is vertical. We have a spare room but it is now used as our Studio for the Channel, lol 😂
This is great to hear! Thank you for sharing. I have a very stressful corporate job in hi tech and this hobby helps me to relax, escape and keep my imagination/creativity flowing. 😊
I know what you mean. My work has its moments, and I always feel so much better after spending time building. 🥰 Thank you to you for sharing!!
I got my first Lego when I was a child, and every year, even into my teens, I continued to get more and more Lego. I'd sit for hours building and rebuilding. Real grown up life then started and my career and family had to come first so I had to put my hobby to one side. Around 15 years ago I started to collect the Lego cars, both models and technics but then in 2012 the Town Hall was released and I just had to have it! I haven't stopped collecting the modulars since (except the Diner which still doesn't appeal to me 😂). I'm 62 now and proud to be an AFOL. Recently, through your reviews of alternative bricks, I've also bought a few Pantasy and FunWhole sets and have loved them too (FunWhole's Record Store is on its way!) The joy I got from building as a kid hasn't changed to this day. Just love it ❤️. Great to hear your background into this hobby too. Thanks for sharing 😊
Love, Love hearing you story. Thank you so much Sandra for sharing. As an AFOL, I am often jealous of those that have been building since they were a kid so apparently I am on a mission to catch up, lol. Pantasy and Funwhole are both doing some amazing things and we are happy to have helped you discover these new brands. Thank you so much for being part of our community 🩷🥰🙏
@SheClicksBricks Just for another wee story about my childish Lego building lol. Mum and dad had booked a holiday and I wanted to take my Sindy doll with me, so I built a car and a 'caravan' for her so she could have a holiday too - it was basically a house on wheels 🤣. By today's standards it was very basic but I was so proud of it, and the adults humoured me by telling me it was great! I can still picture it today, but cringe 😬 😅. You're definitely catching up with the amount of building you've been doing recently! You've found your passion now and very lucky to have your hubby's support. Looking forward to seeing what you've got for us next 😊
OMG. So talented from a young age and an amazing imagination Sandra. That is so awesome!!!! 🩷
I am adult who reexplored bricks and now I cant stop building🎉
It is such a great hobby🥰. I think I would be lost without it.🤔
I wish Canada would adopt Minnesota. We love football, Vikings fans. A sad affair.
Canada can barely handle itself right now🤣. You guys have a great coach. Happy to see him resign and JJ sounds like he may be the real deal at QB. Your football future is bright.🥰
@ thanks, we keep hoping. We will be rooting for Philly
Go Birds!!☺️
Almost 4 years ago my father gave his grandson - my nephew - the London Bus by Lego as a present. The Lego catalogue was around and my father asked if there was anything interesting in it. I said no, but then I found the Ford Mustang. He said I should buy it, he would pay... Jump to this day: Over 160 sets by 15 different brands with just under 300,000 parts and about 250 minifigs... and counting. 6 display cabinets with glas doors and a real space problem... solving not in sight. 😉 Love the kitties.
Haha. I love your story. It's so funny how we can just fall into things and unexpectedly find joy. Thank you so much for sharing 🩷💕
Hey SCB, we’ve talked before, but for your audience…..I am an old retired guy. I was never a hunter, fisherman, or outdoor enthusiast, so as I approached retirement age I began to wonder, what I would do with myself in retirement. From my wife’s work with seniors, I knew that keeping the mind active and the fingers and joints limber would be beneficial. Since my sons had played with Lego as kids (me helping on occasions) I decided that it might be something I could do. Then I discovered that there are adult Lego clubs and groups all over the world (Adult Fans of Lego…AFOL’s) so, I dug out my kids two tubs Lego from the basement closet and began building. That was 8 years ago and now I have an entire city with 7 trains, a harbour full of boats and ships a residential area, and a good sized Medieval area with large castle and a village. Many shelves, cabinets and display areas full of Lego…and alternative brands now, as well. All the benefits that Stacey mentioned are applicable. The peace, dexterity, feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction are enormous. I also am a musician and I get the same kind of satisfaction from both.
Thank you so very much for sharing Raymond. It's always so great to hear from you and I feel like I always learn something new about you and this hobby when we chat so I am sure there are others that also appreciate you sharing as well 🩷💕
@@SheClicksBricks We do. Raymond, I wish you two the happiest of retirements.
Watching now. More live streams please.
Heads up. I will be doing at least more this week. Is there a day or time that works for you?
@ any evening except Wednesday, but I could work with any day really. How nice of you to ask!
Fingers crossed, we are thinking 6pm cst. on Tuesday Jan 28th.
Forgive me 😢😢
Nothing to forgive. You are so very supportive of us. 🥰
Oh no I missed it live
You were there, I mentioned you.☺️
@ heard that, so nice
So glad you didn’t edit out the cats! Started my journey with Legos as an indulgent Grammy 14 years ago. Grandson moved on from Legos around age 11. I tried to move on but the Friends line lured me back. What do you buy your 79 year old mother for Xmas? The Boutique Hotel? YES please! Never played the demo kid but never rebuilt the set I accidentally knocked over😵💫. Glad I found your channel.
So funny you say that about the cats. They often tend to follow us around the house and lately want to be apart of the action. When they both jumped up beside me it was just so candid and it actually felt very fitting for the vibe of the video so we decided to leave it in. Very glad to hear you liked it. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's funny. My family will ask my husband what to get me for my birthday/christmas and when he says Lego, they laugh and then go with something else. Not eveyone understands us brick clickers, lol. 😁💕. So glad you found us as well.
I love to build to take my mind off the daily crap and stuff and it relaxes me and love seeing the build come together, I love my hobby and its a tree aching tool.
Agreed. It is so important to have something for your mind when times get rough. I really love this hobby and I am thrilled we started the channel. The daily interaction with people like you is calming and it give me time to reflect. Thank you for your support. 🥰
Thanks for the heads up, the company and your genuineness. It's a pleasure everytime! And keep clicking those Bricks 🎉
We tried a earlier time in hopes our friends across the "Pond" could join us. So glad you could make it.🥰
What a super Live Chat this was. Enjoyed one and all and finally got my Logo back corectly, have no idea what that was about. Super community and can't wait to do this again. Keep Clicking Those Bricks guys. 👻❤👻
We were so happy you were able to join us. Thank you for all of your support.🥰
In a very similar way, I find building helps block out the noise. My pleasure in the hobby has grown considerably with the rise of alternative more affordable brick brands. If only I had more room to display
Agreed, finding alternative bricks was a game changer🥰, for the pace I like to build, I was starting to feel priced out of Lego. Hubby did get me the Lego Tudor Corner, I am looking forward to that build. I don't think there will ever be enough space.🤣
Building is amazing! Thanks for sharing! Love the kitties interaction there. Oooohhhhhh, I have a set that I want to do that to!!!! Hilarious! ❤ Glad you are here and shared that!!
Bella loves the camera, Gus finally worked up the courage and Bella wasn't having it🤣. I think most people deep down would like to do that to a set. Thank you for your support. 🥰
Something about the aesthetics about them is just so satisfying. Interior details can be charming and cozy. Definitely like it's own charming little world. Building them is often really delightfully surprising with the best designs as you wonder what they are doing and then it all comes together. The people who design these things are genius! I'm definitely not a "collector" type, nor one who thinks these models are some kind of financial investment. Just pure entertainment that is enjoyable on a number of levels. So, I am absolutely thrilled with all the wonderful new companies entering the market. Should have let the cat smash one... it wants to! 🤣
The designers are so talented. I hope to design something for myself later this year. I feel it will give me a better understanding of the process. I lean more towards build enjoyment over collecting as well. Months later, when I see a set I built, the first thing I usually think of is how was the build.🥰 That cat (Bella) is crazy, as you can see, she runs this place🤣
Wow. so many things to touch on. Jumping into the brick hobby with a large technic set. Like jumping straight into the deep end 😅 It is a great hobby. It promotes zen, well except those odd times when you have a difficult section of build and you start cursing, heh. Overall, great way to wind down. It also has health benefits. Having recently acquired some numbing due to a neck injury, I find bricking helps lessen the sensation in my fingers and it also maintains finger dexterity, and sometimes finger strength with the odd tough clutch parts. Now that you're empty nesters, time to reclaim more space. Sadly it is a hobby that requires a lot of that. I know several people that would drool over your racing sim setup. Please keep the videos coming. I think you're inspiring many people to come back to, and even join, the hobby, as I feel there's still a stigma that brick building is for kids. I also feel you're giving some of us the push to perhaps start our own channels. On that subject, I know you've posted one early on, but now with more posts under your belt, perhaps consider creating a new video on the ups and downs of starting your own channel. I know it's not about making money, as that aspect is very tough these days due to a saturated market, and that it's more for sharing your love of the product. What equipment do you use? How do you handle criticism from lego "purists", if you receive any. I do want to start a channel around a city build, see if I can action this year. Please don't stop posting. Have a great one!
@DiyHobbyist, thank you so much for all the support and engagement. Love your ideas. Adrian and I have already started writing down some ideas for what could be a part 2 to this one, so we appreciate your input. We really didn’t know what to expect when we statred this Channel but it has definitely been an interesting journey so far!! So sorry to hear about your injury. Here's to a speedy recovery. 🩷🩷🙏
What a fun video- I need to get back into some video games as I really enjoyed that race car clip ! As an adult and Harry Potter fan I became interested in Lego again as I worked on building various parts of the HP world. This has expanded into some Disney, pop culture and now some Modular’s - primarily from Fun whole after watching your videos! Similar reasons that you listed, relaxing etc and now with a sudden health issue it distracts from all that. Love seeing adults enjoy it and sharing the experiences. 😊
It's incredible how we, adults, need such a thing as a toy to relax and escape the modern way of life. How did our parents cope with their stress, at a time where playing with toys - or video games - was impossible or unconceivable?
That generation was pretty hard, many smoked and drank like sailors🤣. In my case at least, playtime as a kid was the best time🥰. I feel so lucky to have the ability to enjoy it again as an adult. Booze and cigarettes are very expensive these days.🤣
Thank you Rosemarie. It was actually a really fun video to do. We honestly weren't sure how it would be received so appreucate the kind words. Life can be stressful and challenging and I am definitely learning that having something to help us cope and distract us is very important. I am so sorry to hear that you are having health issues. We wish you all the best and we Thank you so much for sharing 🥰🩷 xoxo
What an unexpected ending! I love that your husband helps and supports your hobby - and now to find he helped start it all.
We went back and forth on the ending, but figured why not☺️. The interaction off camera like writing scripts, editing, setting up shots etc has been something where we find unexpected joy. It has been a lot of fun collaborating together, I just may keep him around🤣
What a wonderful video! 🥰I luv building, it truly makes my heart happy, just touching the bricks makes me happy lol. My parents divorced when I was 6 yrs old, my father remarried and I endured 12 yrs of daily abuse from his new wife. No family as I could not see my mother & brother any longer (mother has now passed away, I only met her once after the divorce for a short visit when I was 25). I put myself through university (school in the day & worked nights) for 5 years. Moved to Ont to find work, sadly an abusive first marriage which I left after 7 years (takes time to leave a situation like that & to pay off a student loans and rent etc). Worked hard every single day of my life to survive to the next day, 1 job for 10 yrs, another for 11 yrs, lost my current job recently after 3.5 yrs (manager was an awful awful bully).. found brick building a few years ago (my first set was a Star Wars AT-ST set. Long story short brick building calms my anxiety & is really the only thing that makes my heart happy 💕
Thank you so much for sharing your story, I am so sorry to hear what you have been through, but I am so happy to hear that you found something that makes you so happy ❤️ Unofrtunatley not all of us have an easy start. My parents also divorced whan I was very young, 3 yrs old. I lived with my mom, saw may dad most weekends, but he also remarrried and there were always times I felt I didn't really fit in with them. I proceeded to make terrible choices in my late teens/early adult years that just made things difficult for everyone. For some reason, it seems we all have to learn things the had way, lol but what is important is that we learn and grow and come to cherish what is great in our lives. 🩷 Thank you Raine and we absolutely love having you as part of this community 🥰💕
@@SheClicksBricks I luv turning on UA-cam watching various building videos (always check SheClicksBricks 😊) while having my building time. Currently finishing the last bag of the FunWhole Hunting Cabin set. Today I ordered their new Garden Greenhouse but I have to build their SteamPunk Flying Club first, lol they have so many great sets! While I am job hunting I also recently opened a Bricklink store. My dream/goal is to someday have my own place and to expand my little store. My basement would be my brick building/order picking piece of heaven lol. Thanks for the wonderful reply & enjoy the game! 💞
Wow. Good for you!! If you would like to share the details of your store, we would be more than happy to promote it on our Channel. We could do a Community Post! If that is something you would like us to do, just send us an email with the detials 😁 You can email us at sheclicksbricks@gmail.com 🩷
The hard truth is that I have Parkinson and doing Lego helps me to lower the stress. My favourite set is the R9800.
Thank you for sharing, I understand that is not easy. I am so happy to hear that you found something that helps you to live with Parkinson's. The R9800 is a huge set and people really hold it in high regard. I am sorry I missed it. I do wish you all the best and Thank you so much for your support🥰
Awesome - One of the main reasons I am back building LEGO/Bricks is to turn my mind off as I barely think when I am building - Nice break from reality Also with the UA-cam channel - I have met some awesome people building all types of things and has been very welcoming. Keep up the awesome content - Love this Channel 🥰🥰 SheClicksBricks = SheSmashesBricks
Haha. I agree, I love the concentration it takes as it makes me forget about everything else. Sometimes not a good thing, lol. Really getting to know so many different people has been a pleasant surprise. The amount of engagement and support is such a blessing and the amount of viewers we have in common adds a whole other level of fun. Thank You Mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🩷💞❤️🙏
This was a very interesting video. It is nice know a little bit about you and your family. Can I always like seeing your display room and kitties. You hit some very important points in your talk. I have an old guy that came to illegal at 68. I never thought much about Lego at all until my wife bought me a set at Christmas time. I was hooked immediately. It was so calming, and made me forget my problems for a little while. The social aspect is very important. I watch your videos, comment and find a real connection. I really look forward to new releases. One other guy called Scruf dog does Lego live streams on Wednesdays. As well as video games and electronics. You guys seem like friends even though you are far away. Time to click my bricks. Thanks for all you do
So, looks like we both have our spouses to blame for our addiction, I mean hobby 🤣. We really appreciate you sharing some of your story with us and we so appreciate the ongoing engagement Kev. I agree, it does feel like we are friends as we really do share more than just the hobby. Thank you!! 💞🩷
I started with Lego 20 years (or so) with some Duplo sets. In 2017 circa, I stopped and started gunpla/mechs mini kits. Loved them but too tedious. I rediscovered Lego 2 years ago, best choice ever. I find new brands (and KOs saved money lol) and channels like yours. BTW thanks for sharing your expierence...and please don't drop sets again 🤣
LOL. 🤣🤣 I knew I would be some backlash on dropping that set but WOW, it really did feel good! For us, the best thing was not jus finding building as a hobby, but like you said, finding the alternative sets. I really feel I can better justify the time and money spent having these AMAZING options. Thank you for sharing bomber and thank you for your ongoing support for the channel. 💞🙏
Hey! Mrs H and myself were jigsaw puzzlers and amassed a large collection of puzzles. But, you can’t really display finished 1000 piece puzzles! So we turned to LEGO. Our first set was a box of bricks which my mother purchased for us. We really didn’t click with making MOCs so we turned to Brickheadz. My first real set was the Yellow Submarine, then we purchased Destiny’s Bounty. We were hooked! This was in 2017. We booked a trip to Billund and I discovered Fabuland. There used to be a flea market in Billund where LEGO employees sold their unwanted LEGO. I purchased two Fabuland figures with no intention of buying more. I now own very set produced by LEGO and things like Fabuland books, records, pens, puzzles etc., Mrs H is pretty eclectic in her collecting. Everything from Marvel to Harry Potter to Botanicals and beyond. She loves Minifigures and just recently finally pieced together every CMF set. That’s 27 official and 23 others such as Disney, Marvel, the GB Olympic team and the German Football squad. Mrs H worked for 6.5 years for the Danish toy maker at their flagship London store. The 50% staff discount was pretty good. But, you had a limit of £2000 per annum, which sounds a lot but isn’t! She left in November last year. I’m not allowed to go into detail. But, her mental health was suffering badly. LEGO brings us a lot of joy and allows our brains to kick-back! Mrs H loves piecing together sets and organising our vast collection of pieces. In fact she pieced together 4 of the original modulars using all period correct LEGO. The hobby brings much pleasure and peace. The act of building is very relaxing! I’m not against buying alternative brands. In deed some of our most favourite builds aren’t LEGO!
Robin, always good to hear from you and Thank you so much for sharing. Your wife sounds amazing and I love that you both share this hobby. I know that sharing hobbies has been awesome for me and Adrian. I hope Mrs H is doing well now. All the best to both of you ❤
So nice to hear your background, i'm also BIG into sim racing! I started building lego when i was 4 years old, after some dark ages in my teens I'm now back in full force building MOCs that have between 500-4000 pieces and expressing my creative side in form of Lego bricks. It helps me calm down and gets me off the screens.
That is amazing that you are also into sim racing. It took me some time to get good at it but it is so much fun and an amazing way to have some laughs, be competitive and pass the time. 😁 I have not yet tried my hand at MOCing but I do want to, just need to find the time to dedicate to it. I am so envious of those that have the talent to do so. Thank you so very much for sharing Tristan! 🩷🩷
I build as a hobby to keep me from doing worse habits I'am growing out of. I find it to be very relaxing and enjoy seeing the progress. Smashing video!!!
Haha. All great reasons to enjoy this hobby! Thank you for sharing Mike. "Smashing" I get it 🤣🤣🤣
After that, you should MOC a Like button and show it on screen, commanding us to smash it. Maybe add a disclaimer, just in case one of us sends his/her phone flying by doing it.
🤣🤣🤣
Hey Stacey. So good to hear your background. You rock! I'm a psychotherapist (degreed/credentialed/New York State licensed to provide therapy) -- empty-nester, bit lonely, adjusting to semi-retirement, and dealing with newly-diagnosed serious heart problems. I discovered Lego via my kids when they were little (now adults) and then it became my hobby. Building helps me focus and get a sense of order and completion -- and peace-of-mind. Btw, Scottie mentioned you in his most recent video...really nice shout out that I "seconded" in comments. I truly appreciate you and Adrian -- and your kitties. If it's okay with Adrian, may I say: you're a pretty woman. 😁 Love/peace/light to both of you. ♥️☮️🕯️
I really appreciate you sharing your background as well MJ. I am so sorry to hear about your medical condition. Things like this can change everything so wishing you all best, sincerely! 🩷 It really is crazy to look back at life and all the different phases we go through. Time seems to pass so quickly, especially when you have kids, and grown kids, lol. Having something other than kids and work is important and it tokk me a long time to realize that. I really do love this hobby and I love that we get to interact with so many great people, like you, that have the same passion. Thank you so much for your kind words, encouragement and support! ❤️❤️
Speaking of him, the end of this video definitely has a Scottie vibe to it. But at least, he does not drop sets from that high. Man, that was brutal.😅 Have you found all the pieces yet or are there still some hidden somewhere?
@@KrissFighta2 Lol...yes that was brutal... reminiscent of rock bands that smash their guitars. I winced.
Haha. I belive I have found all the pieces, lol 😁
You should do a video on your sim setup. What wheel are you using?
Haha. That's an interesting idea Tony. ☺️ My wheel is a FANATEC CSL Elite and I love it.
Playing a (good) racing game with a steering wheel is priceless, I can't fathom how awesome it must be with such a setup. What is your fave racing game?
It really is priceless. Formula 1 is my favorite. We are also F1 fans and love that we can race each other. We get some good competition going, LOL 😆
I love your modular display! 🤩 I like to build Lego sets without instructions because I enjoy the challenge and the build experience! ✨
Thank you!. WITHOUT Instructions. I don't think I could ever do that. WOW! That takes talent 👏😁🩷
Adding random LEGO parts must be how serenpidity was discovered. Yes, this is a take on an inception joke. Did it land?
🤣🤣🤣. It did!!
Have you ever tried to paint funwhole bricks with model paint?
I have not.
Hope your daughter in law enjoys the Wednesday build 😊😊 The starry castle has so many unique pieces! 😱 this set looks STUNNING! I was so amazed on how huge it is. So many colors! Very, very cool! So impressive 😊
Thank you. I hope she will be excited about it. This castle really is stunning and just wait until you see how tall the end result is. It's pretty crazy, lol. ☺️❤️
Lego: мы не продаём военные модели Mould king: танки, самолёты, вертолёты, корабль, тут всё что тебе надо
Haha. So true. Thank you for watching ☺️
The Little Prince one is very cool, though I was never enamored of the book when I was a kid.
It is an interesting build and larger than I imagined. I have not yet read the book but I now want to! ☺️
This set is amazing. I can’t wait to build it!
I am so excited for you!! You will love it 😁
