Thought I'd revive this thread, as I'm now the proud owner of a Box 4 Blox. It has transformed my life, if you see me walking down the street smiling it's because my Lego problem is no more. The children think I'm mad, as does my husband, but it is the most satisfying piece of kit I've bought in a long time.


Not only does it make tidying up "fun", it has really encouraged the kids to play with their Lego in a more creative way, as the pieces are more accessible. I have spent the last two afternoons sitting with them and helping build things from their books and really enjoyed it too, and up until now Lego has been a complete no go area for me.


Highly recommended!

I remembered this thread from ages ago and actually looked it up last week now that we are in the (early days!) realms of Duplo and playmobil - found it hilarious! Don't quite have the need for this hallowed box yet but did finally get an Expedit for our open plan downstairs and it had changed our lives already! It's so much better having the toys in easy, ordered bliss - I agree it makes them easier to play with for both parents and children alike!


Really recommend compartmentalising over massive toybox of junk! So much better all round and turning untidy me into someone who quite enjoys tidying up my son's things now!!

I also feel like I am winning the war with lego.


I went to Poundstretcher and bought some of those clear plastic drawer unit things for about ?2.99 each. I then spent a few very boring hours the other Saturday night sorting out flat pieces, bricks, people, weapons etc etc. I used to go clubbing on Saturday nights!

    • Due to many people's packed social schedules at this time of year, we are giving the December Forum Drinks a miss and restarting at the EDT  in January (if they will have us! I think we have all been well behaved so far!) Wishing everybody  a very happy festive season xxx
    • Hi. I hope everyone is well. I’m just wondering if anyone in the East Dulwich area has a working VHS/DVD Combi unit that records from VHS to DVD.  Or if anyone is willing to allow me to borrow or lend it for a time until I get all my videos transferred over. I am looking for a few on eBay but either they do not have the recording function or they are just too expensive.  If anyone can help I would be so grateful.  My current one which is a Sharp make started recording fine after years of not being used, then all of a sudden it stopped and hasn’t worked since. When I put a tape in and try, the machine shuts down, and the play button on the remote seems stuck. Thank you to anyone in advance that would be so kind enough to help xx
    • A quick update - my InPost parcels are being accepted sporadically at Barry's, but only one at a time and every few days, after many refusals - one was refused SEVEN times over about ten days - and several phone calls. As a comparison, I had a message from Yodel that a parcel that was going to Barry's is being delivered to another nearby store, which is interesting...
    • The "Community Benefits" are documented on P12-16 of the Consultation Document. Basically unsubstantiated estimates that it benefits local businesses, claims that it provides "opportunities" for local food traders, businesses & people (the term "opportunities" being meaningless - I have opportunities to win the lottery) without any details, facts or figures, and discounted tickets for local residents (which unsurprisingly seldom sell out). The only direct financial benefit to the Park is a £1000 "Biodiversity Fund" and an undisclosed amount for an "Environmental Impact Fee" - looking at how it was spent this year (flower beds in the playground & Sexby garden) I suspect it would be a similarly small figure. The actual site hire fee - claimed as "commercially sensitive" and therefore undisclosed - is spent on: • Funding the council’s free events programme and Cultural Celebrations Fund • Subsidised fees for community events in the borough • Off-setting the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of the free community events programme  Again, no details given, just vague concepts - can anyone name any of these free & subsidised community events? Or what the "Cultural Celebrations Fund" is or does? It doesn't really sound like any of it is worth  the disturbance, restrictions, noise, litter, environmental damage and negative impact on wildlife in our Park.
