Few people get to see The Inner Sanctum. Even those of my friends who know I collect Lego have rarely gained admittance to this holy of holies. Not sure why. I'm certainly not ashamed of it. It is, however, my refuge and my temple. A place that is indelibly stamped with the things that I like. When people do get a rare chance to peek inside the reaction is usually one of shocked awe. "Oh we knew you had a big collection but..."
The photos below may give you a little idea as to the nature of the "but...". As you can see four themes dominate my collection: Classic Space, Classic Town, Star Wars and (modern) City though I do occasionally dip into other themes if I like the models - hence the new Space Police models.
Feel free to browse and leave a comment - this blog is purely for my own amusement - but all are welcome to have a look around and offer an opinion. I am an active collector so please check out the advert on the right if you have any Lego (in good condition) for sale.

In front of the window - a hodgepodge of models: lots of Star Wars, some Classic Town and Aqua Raiders.
Some of the bigger Star Wars models and the gorgeous Medieval village scene plus the Christmas Shop...
More Star Wars stuff: the fabulous Dropship - one of my favourites - has pride of place atop my computer.
I shall be focusing on specific models over the coming months but for now this is a mere glancing overview of part of my collection - a collection currently valued at just over £10,000. That's a lot of moolah - but it stops me drinking, gambling, drug taking and (sin of sins) getting into football! ;-)
OMG
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing collection.
Are these all models only? I used to have a somewhat large collection, but I built everything freestyle. I was really into creating towns and desperately wished for a good railway set to go with my Lego villages.
VioletSky: most of these are models that are and have been available in the shops though I do have a couple of bespoke "made-by-me" models which I may do a post on soon. I'd love to do more freestyle stuff but rarely get the time - instead I'm more of a dedicated collector and love rooting out rare sets and restoring damaged ones. As for railway sets, Lego now do some amazing trains - definitely worth a look-see!
ReplyDeleteHey the houses are cute! The only house collection comes from a store (not Lego) of different historical architectural house fronts in Holland (I'm from Holland).
ReplyDeleteHi Jeannette - I'd love to see pictures of that!
