Lego = the expensive dream....

Anyone watch the Danish-American documentary, A Lego Brickumentary on SBS last night?

Good coverage of just about every aspect of the hobby/cult/industry, including fan conventions and interviews with legends such as Jaime Berard and Adam Reed Tucker.

It's probably on the SBSOnline catch-up app. Would make a great, "watch this and then you'll understand" introduction.

Yes, I watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very comphrehensive in terms of coverage from all perspectives.

No, but I was watching "A Big LEGO Christmas" on Foxtel last night, my wife was shouting "NO,NO,NO,NO!" at me when she saw the part about the guy who bought a 2nd house just to store all his collection.

Yep, it was very good. I did however want to throw LEGO at the TV every time someone (particularly those you'd expect whould know better) said "legos".

That doco is available to watch here:

Bookmarked it to watch later :)

I built the Winter Village Station last week and incorporated into my Xmas village over the weekend.

It’s more impressive and charming than it looks on the box and it looks great on display with the train.

Doco has been around for a few years, have watched previously.

I watched too and the same thing irked me. Was yelling at the tv more than a few times!

Nice, but I'd keep the Lego out of sunlight if you can...

I wouldn’t.

Small chance you might be able to twist their arm to honour it when it starts..? They have been pretty kind in the past.
