Lego super fan Michael has even given up his job as a teacher so he can embrace his passion for the tiny plastic bricks. The dad-of-two from Sheffield estimates he has around 8,000 Lego sets, but admits: "If I'm totally honest I don't know how much I've got myself." Speaking on Channel 4's A Big Lego Christmas he said: "It is my hobby so I suppose it takes up a lot of my available time ..
and it does take over my available space. "I think when it's got to a point where it's overbearing, of course that's got out of hand. "I've been incredibly lucky to have a supportive wife that understands." The 47-year-old's wife Lucy added: "Whenever Michael does something it's never to the normal level - it's always done to the extreme." Michael also reveals during the programme that he quit his teaching job to run a Lego-themed shop - and ropes in his two children to help after school. The documentary goes behind the scenes in the run-up to the opening of the world's biggest Lego store in London's Leicester store. It follows Duncan - Britain's only certified Lego professional - who is attempting to build a giant model of Tower Bridge using nearly six million bricks. And also Sophie - another adult fan who unashamedly maintains her love for the brick, and designer Justin, whose first kit - a re-imagining of The Beatles' Yellow Submarine - prepares to hit the shelves. Unbelievably, Lego teetered on the brink of bankruptcy in 2001, but now it’s the most profitable toymaker - opening its largest ever store in Leicester Square this November.
The opening of the world's biggest Lego store was marked with the unveiling of a Big Ben built from the colourful blocks - measuring six-metre high and made of 200,000 bricks. The structure, which took 2,280 hours to build, is the centrepiece of the Danish brand's new London store and it even features a working clock face which will be illuminated at night. The opening also included the unveiling of a new Lego mascot named Lester, an English tea-drinking Minifigure, and the first Lego London skyline replica set ahead of its worldwide release in January. Land Rover build biggest ever LEGO structure to launch their new Discovery SUV The phenomenally successful Danish company reports having sold more than 72 billion Lego "elements" or pieces last year. Loren Shuster, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Lego said: "We want to inspire and develop children across the globe through creative Lego play experiences."The Disney Castleproduct_label_list_price_accessibility 112 Reviews123451FIND MORE PRODUCTS LIKE THISFantasyWelcome to the magical Disney Castle!
The Disney Castle Reviews - page 2 Sheffield LEGO® User Group in Community and Events Erm, but there's already Brickshire, which covers Yorkshire (including Sheffield), and Northern Brickworks, which covers the north in general (and also includes Sheffield). Sorry dude, but I really don't see the point of such a location-specific LUG, when there's two that do a great job anyway. First public display is in place!' So our first physical meet up is on the calendar.12 noon on Sunday 31st of January. Will be meeting up in a coffee shop in Hillsborough for a few hours of chat and fun then taking a stroll down to Bricks and Bits store that Michael has kindly agreed to open so we can have a look at some of his rarer museum pieces. (And buy stuff he hopes!).Exact venue will be determined closer to the day depending on numbers going. So finally got round to putting together a website.Prefer doing it through Facebook so will be concentrating on that for the daily stuff but all the cool kids have websites so figured should get one too.
