The simplicity of the explanation really does make it an interesting point that also makes perfect sense. Whether it's a Roman Legion fighting, public in executions in the arena, or gladiators fighting; the experience to these things is long gone.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

There was plenty to discuss on the subject and unfortunately we only scratched the surface on Steves military figures collection!

For this video, I was very fortunate to have an avid historian as a co-worker and was willing to get on camera! Thanks for commenting and for watching!

The Colosseum will be featured in my next video. The loop roller coaster is really a great set that catches a lot of attention from my visitors, especially when I runt it for them. Thanks for watching and especially taking the time to comment!

When I finally got rid of my boxes, I think I was in the 400s for sets, so I definitely could not imagine doubling the amount. I still keep my instructions though. It will be hard to part with those if I ever decide too. Thanks for sharing your experience on this subject; really appreciate the comment!

Haven't done that although the Batman Tumblr set might need that, it's all black and it has dust in hard to reach places and might need to get disassembled to clean it thoroughly.

@@casualbrix Haven't lost anything but the fear is there, so taking all the precautions.

She was still a DADA Professor though! Quirrell literally had Voldemort attached to him, Moody was a disguised Death Eater, Snape a former Death Eater, and Lupin almost attacked Harry in the Forbidden Forest. The bar was not the highest for that teaching position.

@@casualbrix yeah I know. I just hate her….

@@Ashstar_Ashheart She is pretty horrible.

The boxes I do keep now are for the Technic Supercar sets and the larger box sets such as the UCS Star Wars and the Roman Colosseum since those boxes usually store the instructions and are rather cool with the multiple interior boxes to them! Thanks for watching and especially commenting!

Really great creators and builders, especially the military diorama sets; the historical accuracy and time to properly display those is amazing! Thanks for watching and commenting.

A lot of amazing creators and builds and unfortunately there was only so much I was able to capture! Really appreciate the viewership and thank you for taking the time to comment!

It was a really awesome build and unfortunately I wasn't able to film the Homemade Village side of the build, maybe next year. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I did see the micro scale modular builds, I think it was the table next to St. Peter's Basilica. They were really great looking and as a collector of the modulars, those would look great on my shelves. When I left around 2, it was definitely busy but I was still able to move at least. Thanks for watching and commenting!

While installing the light kit could be a pain at times, the end result really was worth it. Thanks for watching!

It definitely does change the look, especially making the white gazebo structure look better. I think everyone does or had used storage bins for instruction at some point. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I have definitely had one instance where I needed to pull out the instructions due to a set falling apart; it was a brickheadz set so it wasn't that bad, but still required looking at instructions. I have a ticket for Sunday at Brickfair, so unfortunately I will miss you there. As always, thanks for watching and always taking the time to comment! If you are interested in showcasing your Lego collection, please email me. This is something I am looking to start in the near future.

Rivendell is really just a great looking set and a lighting kit really takes it to the next level. The dresser really does seem perfect for my Lego extras. especially the top drawers where I store the pieces and brick separators. Thanks for watching and especially commenting on the video!

Great to hear that you are getting into the hobby! I do have plans on purchasing the Titanic with my points sometime in the near future. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Lol. It definitely is and still on the fence about cases or just get glass cabinets instead. Thanks for watching and especially commenting!

Tranquil Garden and Himeji Castle were great builds, especially the castle. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks, will do!

That is a great idea! Are you Abel to find the instructions online or you purchase them? One of my grail sets is the Modular Grand Emporium and the Modular Town Hall. Building them myself from purchased parts would definitely be cheaper than the current prices for them. Thanks for watching and especially commenting!

For my speaking abilities on camera, it was quite the feat, especially for the first take!

I was thinking the Titanic due to its price point and how great it looks.

Looking forward to Jazz Club, just have to find some space on the shelf!

Thank you for watching and I really appreciate the feedback and comment!

Brickmania allowed us to choose any sets we wanted to display and once we saw that set, we knew we had to have it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

That's a great one! I can't believe that didn't even occur to me. I have a large Batman collection, which is a dust magnet and I am constantly wiping off at least once a week with my little duster. Great comment and thanks for watching!

@@casualbrix You're welcome! My Legos are covered in dust and I have accepted it, although it pains my heart to see them like that. I got too much of them that if I start cleaning them it would take so long that maybe the first ones would be dusty again.

The individual sets are or were for sale on the Brickmania website; I believe only the Gate House and Commanders House are still for sale. There was no price tag on it so I believe it is just a display set; since between the additional pieces of the wall, corners, and 185 minifigures with horses and chariots, the price would be astronomical!

The price point is definatley on the higher side but the limited production runs, custom stickers, and custom minifigs make it worth it. The store also has a significant amount of custom Military minifigures for sale, unfortunately I was not able o show them due to bad recording on my part, but they are on the more affordable side. Thanks for commenting again on this latest video. I really appreciate the repeated viewership and commentary!

Was the "ridicule" by friends and co-workers you did not agree with? Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@casualbrix Yeah. That was the one i did not agree with

I like that "running in trouble with space by yesterday." In my latest video about "the fears of a Lego collector" I address this very issue and you are right; I am out of space. Thanks for watching and I really appreciate your comment.

With the upcoming May the 4th Be With You sale, the "fear" of missing out on sets, especially the Star Wars GWP is going to cause some sleepless nights for some collectors. Really appreciate the comment and viewership!

Your collection is well over a 1000 more than mine so I appreciate you providing feedback on how you handle the issue. For me it is starting to become a bigger problem and a trip to Woodbridge Ikea and some room design sketching is in the near future for me. Tysons is my favorite Lego Store in the area, easier to get too than Crystal City and Potomac Mills. Although I do plan on hitting Crystal City at some point just to visit. Thanks for watching and especially commenting and if you happen to see me at Tysons, say hello!

It is the Harry Potter Hogwarts Moments sets: The sets are based on the Hogwarts classes: Potions set 76383 / Divination set 76396 / Defense Against set 76397 / Charms set 76385 / Transfiguration set 76382 / Herbology set 76384. I believe they are retired now. Thanks for commenting and for watching!🙂

@@casualbrix Thank you so much for your detailed response! I'm new to lego and there is just so much to explore.

That is great. I have mentioned in other videos that all guests to my house all want to see the LEGO room. Seeing a collection definitely does change minds. That is a shame about the cats. We have two cat and the door to the LEGO room is always closed to help mitigate that possible scenario and to cutback on the dust and hair. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Watch my latest video about "Fears of a LEGO Collector.." and I specifically talk about running out of room. The selling would be so time consuming and I know that I would probably have regret on some of the sets. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

The Lion Knights Castle has that cool retro look to the box and I was actually hesitant about the Lego Galaxy Space Explorer for the same reason; that was a great design on the box.

Like I said, devastating. Not only would I be affected by the price of the loss, but the loss of time put into the sets / collection and then the subsequent recovery or fixing of the mess. Thanks for commenting on the video and I really appreciate the viewership.

Is there a particular one that you "fear"? Thanks for watching and I really appreciate the comment.

It is truly a good feeling to just build a set and not be concerned with the box afterwards. I really appreciate the comment and the view!

I definitely don't. Unfortunately it is not a box that I would have kept. Thanks for watching and asking about a specific set.

If you see me out, absolutely say hello. I always go to the Tysons location; been meaning to hit the Crystal City or Potomac locations but Tysons remains the easiest for me to get too. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

I did do the flattening, although I did not think to cut the ends. That's a great idea to make the boxes more rigid and make them easier to store. Thanks for commenting on this video and I really appreciate the view!

Thanks

Thanks for commenting and watching

Do you regret throwing out the instructions and missing out on the set registration points that Lego offers? That is a smart idea about breaking down, cleaning, storing, and rebuilding. There are some sets, such as technic super cars, that I would not want to rebuild at all. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment about your experience!

@@casualbrixI was just a little annoyed about that at first but not too bothered. Ultimately keeping all the instructions would just feel like so much clutter. When I buy a Lego set I buy it for the set, not the packaging or instructions. So I toss everything out that isn't part of the set itself and try to keep things orderly and beautifully presentable. Staying organized can take work but it's easier to stay organized then it is to get organized so I prefer to just maintain it by following my system so I can enjoy my sets to the fullest. I totally hear you about Technic, though. I definitely think they are cool but I refuse to buy Technic sets because I do not enjoy the building or disassembling experience with them at all.

Thanks for watching and commenting. Now that I have a gimbal, the next time, my video should be more smooth!

@@casualbrix yep - nice upgrade to get a gimbal. enjoy the smoother videos 😀
