That’s two unopened, unbuilt Lego sets I now have. I’m a disgrace to the adult fan of Lego community 😂

@andycarolan have you ordered the Tintin one yet?

@abban No, I didn't even realise that was a thing! lol

Have you?

@andycarolan it’s a bit pricey so I’m still thinking about it
@andycarolan oh I bet there are many with way more!
@sylvia Haha, yes! I imagine there are a few with a few ready to go!
@andycarolan For having *only* two?
@slothdude lol, true... I'm sure there are many with way more!
@andycarolan Me, for one. I don’t have a pile of shame. I have multiple piles of shame. At least a couple dozen unopened sets, some of them over a decade old.
@slothdude so much to look forward to though!
@andycarolan The biggest problem is the lack of space to put the completed sets in
@slothdude yeah, it’s definitely an issue. I dismantled a few of my sets for that reason

@andycarolan Someone should set up a Lego renting business. I’d get Saturn V, the Land Rover, and the typewriter in a heartbeat.

Checking the returned sets for completeness would be a bother, though.
@slothdude

@andycarolan Actually, the opposite!

My brother is a massive AFOL. He does charity work getting sets into children's hospitals, and has been invited to Billund a few times.

...and he has a loft full of kits that he's not started yet. Literally dozens.

@andycarolan I have quite a few unopened sets, one of which is the big tree house set from a few years ago. I have been waiting for my grand-daughter to get old enough to build it with her.
@perkinsy That will be awesome for you to do together!
@andycarolan I am really looking forward to it!
@andycarolan I've been sitting on the Enterprise-D until after I've moved. She's just in the box in our spare bedroom and I've never felt more ashamed for not starting 😭
@tristy Oh wow! That's such an awesome looking set! I've heard that it's an awesome build! Enjoy!
@andycarolan I can hear the community tut-tutting from here.
@alexandra Actually, I think you would like both of these... it's the Happy Plants, and Lucky Bamboo sets!
@andycarolan Oh, yes, I’ll come on over and put them together for you, pretty please.
@andycarolan I have 3 sets that I have been meaning to build for 2-3 years that continue to take up space in my closet. I think you are doing just fine. 😆
