interview with @brixposure

Tell us about yourself. 

I'm 36 years old and married with children.

Where are you from? 

I'm from this little place called Belgium. 

Describe your account in 3 words? 

I hope: cheerful, cute and fun.

What made you start an instagram page? 

I missed being creative (used to be a wedding photographer for 8 years). My husband collects a lot of Lego, so decided to use Lego as my creative outlet.

How often are you on instagram? 

Too often, that is why I disabled the notifications :).

How long have you been doing your account for? 

I posted my first picture on November 12th, 2019.

Where do you get your ideas from?

Just everyday life. I just want to make cute or funny pictures (or at least I try).

Whats your favourite lego set that you own? 

Big fan of Grogu, I am Groot and Wall-E.

Whos your favourite minifigure? 

My buddy the Stormtrooper.

How many minifigures do you own?

Haven't counted them :).

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

I would love to just build a moc that looks okay. I am really bad at building something from scratch. 

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

No :( but it is on my wishlist. I would love to visit the one in Denmark.

Whats your favourite lego theme? 

Harry Potter, Star Wars & Marvel

What was your first ever lego set? 

When I was a kid, I had the Lego 6416 Poolside Paradise. It was one of my favorites, but my parents threw it away.

Interview with @toyingwithlight

Where are you from? 

Canada (currently living in Kingston, Ontario).

Describe your account in 3 words? 

Playful, creative, fun.

What made you start an instagram page? 

Of all things, COVID-19. My LEGO photography came about due to spending much more time at home than I had in years.

How often are you on instagram? 

Daily. I usually post in the morning, and then follow up from time to time during the day.

How long have you been doing your account for? 

A little over a year and a half now, beginning in November 2020.

Where do you get your ideas from? 

Most often from things that I enjoy: books, movies, music, GenX pop culture.

Whats your favourite lego set that you own? 

The Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina - so much nostalgia for me, and so many great minifigures!

Whos your favourite minifigure? 

Oh man, that’s tough. I’ll say Darth Vader, given how many of my favourite shots include him.

How many minifigures do you own? 

First thought: a couple hundred? Upon further reflection: probably much more than I realize!

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

Minas Tirith, from Tolkien’s Middle Easth.

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

LEGOLAND Discovery Centre Toronto

Whats your favourite lego theme? 

For photography, Collectible Minifigures. But I own more Star Wars than anything else. And I admire many (if not most) of the LEGO Ideas sets.

What was your first ever lego set? 

An early 80s Space set - I can’t remember exactly which one…

interview with @watchfigures

Where are you from? 

Born in Romania, currently living in Indiana US.

Describe your account in 3 words?

First ones that come to mind are probably silly, fun, and creative.

What made you start an Instagram page?

Got into watches a number of years ago and loved seeing everyone’s fun watch pics. I’d also dabbled a bit in photography in the past and wanted to get back into it, so it just seemed like a good way to combine the two. Then I happened to have a little minifig nearby when I was playing around with the first shots, decided to incorporate it, and the rest is history as they say!

How often are you on Instagram?

Probably 3-4 times a day. I try to post maybe 4-5 times a week, but it just depends what else is going on with the family and kids.

How long have you been doing your account for?

Almost two years now! Started in June 2020.

Where do you get your ideas from?

Typically, random ideas just pop into my head throughout the day, maybe from something I saw or heard. Then I jot it down in a little notepad app and try to make a picture out of it later on when I get a chance.

What’s your favourite Lego set that you own?

Tough one! But probably the Lego Technic 8466 4x4 Off-Roader. Love the functional transmission and drivetrain, and the high flexibility of the set in being able to easily add on so much stuff to it. 

Who’s your favourite minifigure?

My favorite out of all the ones I have has got to be the original Boba Fett figure from set 7144.

How many minifigures do you own?

Quantity wise, no idea but since I have them all sorted in a separate bin, it’s about 4 pounds of minifigs!

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

Pretty sure this answer would change on a daily basis, but currently I’d love to build a full-scale house that I can live in.

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

Sadly, I have not, but it’s definitely on the bucket list!

What’s your favourite Lego theme?

Technic is definitely number one, followed very closely by any of the space/sci-fi ones.

What was your first ever Lego set?

First I can remember was back in Romania as a kid, one of the old Lego System sets that came in the blue bucket. Maybe set 1880?

nix_bricks_pix interview

Name- Nix_brick_pix 

Tell us about yourself. 

OK, not sure where to start, I am an AFOL who unleashed her love for Lego when her new partner also loves Lego and showed her it was ok to actually love and play with Lego as an adult! Lol. 

I used to work in the mining industry as an Environmental Manager, then after 20+ years doing that I moved into childcare and am currently working on expanding my own business "Brick Nic" where I am making Lego earrings, other products using Lego as the base product as well as doing a variety of workshops for children and adults. 

Where are you from? 
I am originally from South Africa but have lived in Australia for most of my life :). I currently live in a little down 3 hours drive inland of the ocean called Emerald in Queensland. 

Describe your account in 3 words? 
Always something different 

What made you start an Instagram page? 
I started my Nix Brick Pix page because I wanted a place to showcase my photos of my significant figure, with a love of photography too I saw Instagram as the ideal place for this. It was mainly for me during a time when I wasn't doing so well with my mental health and this was a mindful way or refocusing. 

How often are you on Instagram? 
I try and post a couple times a week on Instagram some weeks more some weeks less! lol. I am back into the swing of things after having my account hacked and only getting it back after three months. 

How long have you been doing your account for? 
Since May 2019 

Where do you get your ideas from? 
My ideas for the most part come from my life, come from what I am doing or where I am, and those around me. I enjoy looking at other peoples Instagram posts and sometimes draw inspiration from them 

What's your favorite Lego set that you own? 
I own way to many Lego sets so that is a really hard one, big big big set - id have to say Harry Potter Castle, big big set - id have to say Ninjago city docks, big set - fishing cabin and small set - any of the Chinese new years sets 

Whose your favorite minifigure? 
now that's a really really hard question and I'm going to cop out here and say that it will have to be my sigfig - Brick Nic, as I just couldn't choose a minifig as I love them all, all for different reasons. lol 

How many minifigures do you own? 
id have to say I own around 500 minifigs and that's only the ones that I display, so probably a little more if you include those that are in sets etc.! and not many are doubles at all! 

If you could build anything out of Lego what would it be? 
Id build a big bath - I love having a relaxing bath and love Lego so why not combine the two together! lol 

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

:( no I haven't been to any Legoland, I have been to the Lego store in Florida at Disney World.. its my mission, my aim and my dream to go to a Lego land and Lego house. We live 12 hours drive from our closest Lego shop so that is also sad...
