The other day I needed some light bulbs and a toilet roll holder. I know that that is not the most riveting beginning to a blog post but it is the one I am going with.
Those two items together were not enough to get me over the free delivery threshold. To get there I added the Lego Star Wars Captain Rex micro fighter.
Ironically Amazon couldn’t deliver it all together. So, technically, I could have cancelled the Lego and still had the free delivery! I didn’t do that. I still wanted the set. I have to say the mini figure in particular is beautiful.
When I was a child there were a few times, over a typical year, where I got presents. As an adult this happens less and less. I imagine it is true for most of us that when we get a delivery it is probably something we ordered for ourselves. The funny thing is even so it can still be exciting.
Why is that? Why is opening a package fun? Even if you know what it is. Even if you spent the money – and even if it is something mundane.
I don’t know. I want to talk more about Lego.
I was in the Lego store the other day. There were several sets that I wanted. The thing is I can only budget for one or two major Lego sets a year. If I suddenly came into some money… well that would be an interesting question…
My current wish list is a little over £3,000! My dream is to have the money for a Lego room. If I ever had the space I would do that. There would be trestle tables with lots of builds! It would be a Lego city complete with a Star Wars theme park!
As it stands I don’t have that much space. I am having to deconstruct some of my sets to make room for new sets. I also need to get rid of junk for more Lego. Getting rid of stuff is hard but that is a topic for another time.
Thanks for reading.
I just wanted to say that I have checked this post. I really have. Unfortunately my particular combination of dyslexia and dyspraxia makes it really hard for me to spot typos. Please enjoy and I’ll try not to make too many errors.
