This... My brother in law has recently gone onto palliative care after a long and drawn out cancer battle... I've been mega quiet the last 2 years on the forums as have had my hands full with his business and kids... he was given the all clear at Christmas and discharged after intense chemo. 2 months later we were back where we started and the tumour came back bigger than ever...it has been a slow deterioration but has at least left time for the admin, passwords and general nitty gritty minutiae to be worked out... His 2 kids are the reason I came out of my dark ages and being 8 and 11, Lego has been an absolute godsend as a distraction... not just for them, for me as well... last Thursday he discharged himself from hospital to be with his wife and kids. Covid meant he faced the end with no visitors so he left hospital and 24 hours later 100 or so of his friends and family came from across the UK and all took to the water for the day on boats (they live by the coast in North Wales and best way to socially distance!). It was humbling and amazing. So this is a multi-angled post.. A complaint at the cruelty of cancer... a big thankyou to this community for being who and what you all are... and a reminder to live everyday like it is your last... because it can all change in an instant. Thinking of you at this tough time @Phil B, keep trucking fella

Thanks y’all, this forum is and has always been my escape from the stresses and worries of everyday life, so keep on keeping on and all will be fine.

Another one to file under the **** cancer category...

Our Lego building zone, while still a work in progress, is quite operational. My daughter decided she wanted to build a space "drone" and then grabbed a phone to show us what she meant on a SciShow kids video: a Voyager Space Probe. She lost interest pretty quickly, but you better believe I saw it through. She was most concerned it have the golden record on it.

First group I always think of is Aerosmith.

I was wrong

Yeah, it's probably a terrible choice and he's unbiased. Yay LEGO!

I never watched a single FCB game and I immediately spotted their logo on that box. I wonder why??

I really enjoyed the new "The Suicide Squad". I'm curious to hear your thoughts? That was a fun, silly, fun film.

Wow, what a great choice for the next stadium! And I am completely unbiased

I don’t know you personally, but I feel like I’ve gotten to know you throughout the years from all of your amazing and helpful posts. Thank you for everything you have done here, I often read through your post with amazement. Your a great dude @Phil B

I got a monster but it isn't in a book....

I passed on it for now. I have lost track of how many Slave Is are out there but I have the UCS version so maybe someone will make the little cart in scale for the UCS.

I’m curious to see the Blacksmith side by side with castle. To see if they compliment each other for display purposes.

Alright, I’m beating a dead horse here.. I got my personal trifecta now. My first and only LEGO set as a kid, the LEGO set I always wanted as a kid, and the set I’ve been waiting years for as an adult. Yasss!

They did it!!! LEGO finally put a helicopter in LEGO CMF bag.

Thanks, but there is no recovery. Just a hopeless fight to postpone the inevitable.

I have been going through this over the last few months, not for me, but for my wife. She was diagnosed with Stage 4 brain cancer last December, and it has been a slow decline and lots of things to arrange. And all these boxes of LEGO (personal build stack as well as selling) don't help. But I haven't even found the time to put stuff on FBA, just paying my $39.99 each month directly into Bezos' space adventures and divorce proceedings. More important things to take care of ...
