Todays interview with @the_lego_shed

 
Hi.. I’m Michael, as my bio says I’m trying to cram as much Lego into my shed as I possibly can! The main themes that I focus on are Modular Buildings, Star Wars and Harry Potter. 
Where are you from? 

I’m from the UK and I’m fortunate to have a Lego store 10 minutes down the road. 

Describe your account in 3 words? 

A Lego Shed! 

What made you start an instagram page? 

Wanted to show off my Lego sets and connect with like minded fans. 

How often are you on instagram? 

I try to post daily. 

How long have you been doing your account for? 

I started around 5 years ago but didn’t used to post a lot. During Lockdown Super Lego Dad and May The Lego Be With You did a daily challenge and I got involved with that and met some great fans of Lego. After they stopped that, I carried on doing Daily Posts and I’m really enjoying it!
Where do you get your ideas from? 

Normally see what other people are doing and get involved with challenges and events as they’re a great way to connect with people. 

Whats your favourite lego set that you own? 

Difficult to say but probably either the Ghostbusters Firehouse or Pirates of Barracuda Bay. 

Who’s your favourite minifigure? 

Captain Redbeard. I had him in a set when I was younger and then got him in the Pirates of Barracuda Set. 

How many minifigures do you own? 

According to Brickset it’s just over 900! 

If you could build anything out of lego what would it be? 

Avengers Tower as that would look awesome in my city so I’m hoping the rumours about it are true. 

Have you ever been to lego land? (if yes which one) 

Yes I’ve been to Legoland Windsor twice and we’re planning another trip soon.

Whats your favourite lego theme? 

Creator Expert and the Modular Buildings. But I’d love to see a return of the Pirates and Castles theme. 

What was your first ever lego set? 

I remember having the Ice Planet Defender. The first set after my “Dark Ages” was the Space Needle which my wife got for me when we visited Seattle so I blame her for getting me back into Lego 😂
Which sets are you looking forward to? 

Hoping to get the Sancto Sanctorum to add to my city and the new Ideas castle. 

Which set do you regret not buying?

The Ideas Old Fishing Store. The frustrating thing is that I was back into Lego when it was released but didn’t understand when sets retired and missed out.
