Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

December 25, 2021 By Jay 7 Comments

I’d love to take this opportunity to wish all my readers and this awesome community of LEGO fans a very Merry Christmas!

It’s been a long year, and I’m really glad that it’s Christmas, and I hope that you and your family are staying safe, enjoying each other’s company and hopefully you’ve found plenty of LEGO under the Christmas Tree.

It’s been an incredibly massive year for LEGO, and there’s plenty of content to look forward to in the next few days and weeks, once I’ve recovered from my food coma.

A huge thank you for all the support and for counting down the 2021 Marvel, Star Wars and Harry Potter Advent Calendars!

Note: I haven’t had time to finish my Friends countdown yet, but will try to complete it tonight!

Did you get any LEGO today? Let me know in the comments if you received any sets, either from a loved one, Santa or yourself!

Here’s a look at my Christmas gift to myself!

I was incredibly lucky to find a sealed copy of 6702 Minifigure Pack on Facebook Marketplace, while on holiday and pounced on it immediately.

This is one of my grail LEGO sets, featuring 4 of the main Classic Space Astronauts, and this is a prized addition to my Vintage LEGO collection.

Thank you very much for all the lovely messages, comments and for all your support on the blog, which has been the greatest gift this year!

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

Jay

    Merry Christmas to you to Jay, I hope you and your family have had a great one. That classic space minifig pack is amazing! I got a sealed box of marvel minfigs and the 911 to build the Lambo Countach

    A big thanks for all your content over the year and here’s to a massive 2022!

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Jay. I decided not to buy the Star Wars Advent this year (shock) but used the money to buy Santa’s Sleigh, think it was the best choice this year. I still followed your excellent Advent run down though which I always enjoy. I purchased the Lunar Lander and R2-D2 many months ago so maybe one will be built over the festive period! A lot of sets have been out of stock for so long this year in the UK, especially Santa’s Sleigh, might buy another Santa’s Sleigh set in 2022 to get it up to 8 Reindeer (which I’m sure a lot of people have). It was only seeing your review of Santa’s Sleigh that made me order it bang on 1st May release date.
    Many thanks for the hard work you put into your blogs from a very old AFOL.

Happy International @LEGO Day! The 28th of Januar Happy International @LEGO Day!

The 28th of January commemorates the date where the first patent for the iconic LEGO brick was filed with the Danish Patent and Trademark Office in Denmark by then-owner Godtfred Kirk Christiansen.

Here's a photo of the patent which is on display in the history section of the @legohouse, which I got to see last year when I visited Billund!

There's tons of incredible historical artifacts, and I've also shared some other displays that commemorated this part of LEGO's history!
