She created a monster. That's what my wife did by buying me a LEGO set for our 15th wedding anniversary — I had never built LEGO . A year or so on: more than 200 sets have been bought, a near 70 set backlog and a spare bedroom being turned into a LEGO room.

This channel is for AFOLs — and maybe some KWALAs ... Kids Who Act Like Adults (when it comes to buying LEGO). People who've found their way back to LEGO as grown adults with full lives, and want to talk about it and be proud about it. Expect deal-hunting and buying strategy, honest backlog and budget management, the psychology of why we collect the way we do, how to display sets with style and how LEGO actually fits alongside a career, the gym, family, travel and a busy adult life.

One thing worth saying up front: this isn't a monetisation play. My day job's in live sports and video services, that pays the bills — this channel's about sharing what I've learned and maybe saving a few fellow collectors some money and some guilt.
