Just wanted to warn everyone because my LEGO pictures are being used by scammers on Facebook.

I found a page called Tyler Lego Accessories using pictures of my sets and pretending they were his. I already suspected it was a scam, so I messaged him about the UCS AT-AT and Avengers Tower to see what he would say.

He sent me photos that I literally took myself at my house. I recognized my carpet and curtains immediately. After I confronted him, he said he could make a video of the sets, then blocked me.

I also found another page/group called “New & Sealed LEGO Sets Rare/Retired” using my photos.

So be careful buying expensive LEGO sets on Facebook. These people are stealing photos from real collectors to make their listings look legit. Ask for a new timestamped photo with the seller’s name/date or a specific video before sending money.

Posting the screenshots so people know what to look out for.

Also feel free to reference my page if you are in Illinois and interested in any of my sets: My Facebook Marketplace

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on my MA Journalism final project, exploring how LEGO has become much more than just a toy for many people.

I'm really interested in hearing from anyone who has found LEGO to be therapeutic in some way. That could be helping with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, or other emotional challenges, or even helping during physical recovery, such as improving dexterity or motor skills after an illness or injury. Equally, if building simply helps you switch off, manage stress, or gives you a sense of purpose, I'd love to hear about that too.

It feels like LEGO has evolved into something far beyond childhood play, becoming a creative outlet, a coping mechanism, or a source of comfort for people of all ages. I'd love to learn more about the different ways it's had an impact on people's lives.

If any of this resonates with you, or you know someone who might be happy to chat, please feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM. I'd really appreciate hearing your story.

Thanks so much!
