I am hooked on Lego seriously my son’s bedrooms have always had a good amount of the little bricked wonders loosely lying around and being displayed in various ways because it’s just so enticing. I head out and buy Lego sets at least once a month because I am a great believer in making sure my sons don’t sit for hours on end playing their computer games without some interaction from us parents! As the both grow older I generally can get my youngest son who is currently a tween to sit and build for hours with me and my husband although If I am honest they are a little faster than I am at making their constructions.
My husband who literally studies every single Lego set we have in-depth even created a Lego Simpsons guide to feeling for each Lego minifigure in the series. Using that guide he set me a challenge to find all of the Simpsons Lego minifigures which I managed to achieve by the way but if you don’t believe me you can watch my quest on our youtube channel.
I was very pleasantly surprised recently when I learnt that Lego from George at Asda have over 200 different Lego sets available to purchase online, a very impressive amount of Lego I am sure you will agree.

Jakes ready to build his Lego Starwars AT-AT set, which we will be posting up real soon!
Ooh my daughter loves Lego but I’m so awful at creating anything with it, least of all recreating the images on the front of the boxes. I agree with you though, it’s important to make sure the kids aren’t glued to their computer games and the tv. I’ll give the Lego another shot, might even take a pic to show you just how bad I am!
We love Lego and can happily spend hours playing, sometimes we stick to the instructions, other times its freestyle (which really sparks their imagination). Thanks for a great review, I didn’t realise George did such a big range – I always forget to check when looking at prices online, just seem to think about the big retailers
all my family love lego
