We've just finished building the Holiday Main Street set. We took some tracks and the power unit from the older kid's Lego train set so we could have the tram running, and put it all under the tree (I had to get the powered up light part from a guy in the Czech Republic though, because it was out of stock at Lego and everyone here was charging extortionate amounts for it).



And a little video of it running if this works:

Main problem now is that the three year old has worked out if he makes it go fast enough it derails and he finds it hilarious! So a lot of tragic crashes on holiday main street this year.

I have the smaller version. Might have to pick that one up.

Yeah. I like the holiday sets. Have Alpine Lodge and Holiday Main Street. Didn't know there was a way to set up a running tram. That's really cool! Love to do something like that. Although, I picked up the Orient Express a few weeks ago, so I might motorize that one instead. We'll see.

Christmas usually starts a solid 2-3 weeks of me building legos. BUT, I think this is the year that Ive taught my boys the lego building process to the point that I can stay out of it and let them rip. Grandparents gave them both bigger sets for Christmas. My oldest son just finished the 3600 piece Nasa Artemis, and the younger built the 3300 piece Medieval town square - with zero questions between them.

I know they have more coming, so here is hoping that this is my first lego free Christmas in probably 20 years.

Although, I honestly do like building them. I think either the Saturn V or the smaller of the 2 millenium falcons were my favorites to put together.

I'm quickly running out of space so having to be more selective in what I buy. I love space amd Star Wars themes. Artemis and Saturn V are definitely on my wish list, but probably will be a while before I have room for them.

The saturn v is enormous. 1969 pieces to represent the year, and it is just massive even compared to the 3600 piece Artemis. Ill add a pic of them later.

I did not realize how many legos they have. This seems to be how most Lego fans live. Legos everywhere. In drawers. On shelves. In corners. In the middle of the floor. Here is a sampling….
