If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a wall of LEGO boxes, overflowing tubs of bricks, or carefully displayed modulars and wondered “Just how big is this collection?”, you’re not alone. LEGO Collectors love to measure, compare, and sometimes justify the size of the growing stash. But what’s the best way to actually measure a LEGO collection?

Today, we are proud to announce the first 10 inductees to the Wall of Fame. Each will have their name engraved on a LEGO tile, their minifigure placed proudly on the wall, and their story celebrated both on our site and in the credits of our videos. This group represents the heart of Redmond’s Forge, founders, haulers, enablers, legendary AFOLs, and sellers who have passed treasures into our care. I have given myself honourary membership.

At Redmond’s Forge, we’ve always believed LEGO is more than bricks. It’s people, community, stories, and the shared passion that connects us across generations. From the AFOL who has been collecting since the 1970s, to the child discovering the joy of their very first minifigure, LEGO is about belonging. That’s why today we’re thrilled to unveil something we’ve been working on quietly in the background

There are days in LEGO collecting you’ll always remember. Today was one of those days. It began the same as any other, but then a text from a familiar seller, the very same one who, back in August, entrusted us with their Sanctum Sanctorum, Destiny’s Bounty, and Loop Roller Coaster (that story is here).

What was meant to be a quick spin to collect some LEGO minifigures turned into a 4 ½ hour epic journey across Leinster. Roads, roundabouts, traffic jams, and crates of bricks carried us through multiple counties, each stop adding another chapter to the growing story of the Redmond’s Forge LEGO Museum.

Day 14 brought something that felt both unexpected and inevitable, a reminder that the paths we take often circle back on themselves. This afternoon, I caught up with an old acquaintance from my kayaking days, someone I hadn’t seen in well over a decade. Back then, our lives revolved around rivers, rapids, and the simple thrill of the paddle. Today, the conversation flowed in a very different direction: LEGO, AI, and how he is developing his corner of Mill Lane in Palmerstown.

Some afternoons just fall together in the most magical of ways. Yesterday was one of those days, a perfect blend of family, travel, LEGO, and a surprise addition in the form of Sylvanian Families. What started as a plan for a LEGO pickup ended as an adventure that felt like we were living inside a Sylvanian Families playset, complete with Nana, the kids, and more toys than we knew how to fit into the car.
