“Hi guys. So I’m Dan, a self certified LEGO® nerd!! Absolutely love the stuff & I’ve been collecting LEGO® for all but 40 years and have a very good collection of old and new. My favourite themes are LEGO® City and LEGO® Speed Champions. I have always built displays just for my pleasure and mental release, It wasn’t until someone said “why don’t you ever display them at any LEGO® shows?” That got me thinking?… Now after doing several shows over the past few years it brings me so much joy to be able to share my creation/passion with others and most certainly recommend to anyone to try it. The people I’ve met and the friends I’ve made along this journey will be friends for life now! The AFOL LEGO® community sure is a wonderful place to be part of.”

“My love of LEGO®️ started in childhood with old space and ​pirate sets. Although I grew out of it as a teenager, I re-​discovered my love of little plastic bricks a few years ago when ​my wife got me the VW T1 campervan set as a present and have ​not looked back since. I have since passed on this affliction to ​my children and enjoy spending hours both making and ​watching them build some amazing creations. I find building and ​creating sets incredibly rewarding and therapeutic and have ​really enjoyed the challenge of trying to create educational ​builds to combine my passion of LEGO®️and my career as a ​doctor. I discovered the PlymLUG group last year after trying to ​branch out and meet people in the community and was ​massively impressed by the first show in Okehampton, so much ​so that I dared to display for the first time a few months later in ​Plymouth and subsequently joined the committee.”

“As a child I greatly enjoyed LEGO®️, it allowed me to explore my creativity through building.

During Covid, LEGO®️ released the International Space Station (ISS) which once again sparked my imagination. Over the last 4 years my collection has greatly expanded, the themes I collect are:

Space, Cars, Christmas & LEGO®️ shops. I also have a number of the sets in display cases and/or light/sound kits, the light and sound kits bring the LEGO®️ sets to the next level.

You do not need to spend a fortune or buy the biggest models, just as long as your creativity & imagination can play in a relaxing & fun way, that is all that matters.”

Like many kids growing up in the 90's, I owned a selection of LEGO® sets ranging between the Past, Present and Future themes with the Space sets of the era being my favourite (LEGO® Adventure a close second).

While I was born during the release of Futuron and the bulk of my LEGO® birthday and Christmas presents coming from the UFO theme some ten years later, my interest in LEGO® Space themes started sometime after 93. Specifically by those old Lego catalogues showcasing the rivalry between Ice Planet/Space Police 2 and Spyrius.

Unfortunately by the time I had convinced Mum and Dad that these were the types of LEGO® sets that should feature on the old Christmas wish list, they were out of production.

So while I technically grew up with the UFO theme and a fair few Red Coat pirate sets, I always came back to the overly thumbed pages of the early 90's catalogues.
