Sometimes I find pics that make me realize how lucky I am to have had my lego room grow...here's some before and after pics
I always like looking back and like comparing before and after. Luckily a lot of the sterilite was clearance from target and I had a little episode of hoardingaddiction which was mostly storage from goodwill. I have bought 1 major lego collection room and then about 5 smaller collections in the years since.

I like the style of these new roads. I have always thought lego has always lacked good road pieces to use for i.e. bridges or causeway. One of the first pics of an idea for a bridge road came from the 6600 set
But regardless of the road type, the box art from lego ways shows a safety guard rail...especially since all the police chases are where a guard rail is present

Well, another year but still haven't gotten legos organized....I got a bunch of new sets which I actually built and still working to organize all the new bricks. Im waiting for a bunch of yellow transparent bricks to really make a classic space diorama. I did so good cleaning my lego room when off for covid from low work hours but it's so hard to make time for my legos with work. So hoping this year ill be better with time management.
I did get a special set for The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I feel like I've make progress from last year but still know I've got a lot to organize still...I need to have a vision of my room organized from Christmas future!
So here's hoping for a lego organized future where I can find legos I want easier!
Here are some of the seasonal lego photos I took..
There comes a point where you realize that if you collect or have a bunch of "things" that maybe there is a deep reason.. I have and love looking at lego pics on internet, I have thousands that are so amazing...I could look at them over and over. But its only certain types, lego town and classic/neoclassic space. And usually the pics I like the most are related to models I made or that I played with with friends...or building with legos from a box while sitting on my grandmas floor while spending the night. It wasn't so much the legos per se...it was the fun times and the people that were around me; it was being young with unlimited dreams and being in safe and fun environments where I was loved and taken care of by parents and grandparents. I found 2 blogs on the Internet this year that expressed this feeling better than I could express on my own...

In any good classic space or neoclassic space diorama, one has to have caution tiles with chevron in yellow and black...i.e. all wings of the original 924 and 928 have this on the wing. So I was thrilled when I saw a tile that would be perfect on a diorama of a hangar with gray floor. It was on pick a brick as shown here
Since I was buying pieces all on bricks and pieces, I typed this piece# in and this came up
Nothing says classic space like gray blue bricks and plates, red hubcaps and transparent yellow plates....which are expensive and mostly in countries outside us on brickwork costing a lot in shipping. So I've set out to create a 4x10 plate....with the lego movie sets I've got the trans yellow windscreens but no trans yellow plates! Here's my solution
