Happy New Year 2025 to all!

And one more! Another year has passed in your company and I have definitely not tired of it since 2010. I am not going to be more original this year than in previous years' greetings, you know that there are subjects that are close to my heart and formulas that I repeat regularly, it is not out of laziness, it is just that I consider them important and that I allow myself to put them forward once a year.

So thank you, as every year, to all those who came, stayed, came back, to those who contributed via their comments, to those who helped other readers as well as to those who shared their good plans or their experiences, good or bad, with others. I say it again, without you and without all these interactions, this space would be very sad and without much interest and would ultimately be just another site around the LEGO universe. The word "community" is often used pretentiously, I think it really is in its place here.

In 2025, I hope that you will continue to come regularly to pick up here what interests you around our common passion. For my part, I will continue to try to deliver to you more and more very personal opinions and as many more or less relevant remarks that you will obviously be free to contradict or criticize. I will also continue to try to obtain more and more products to put into play on the site and to offer all the sets that LEGO wants to send me via the LAN endowment and the various review offers that I receive throughout the year. Those who know me know that this sharing is very important to me, it allows me to make a few people happy throughout the year and nothing replaces the satisfaction of receiving a nice message of thanks from those who trust me and who have been lucky.

The usual remark that everyone who has been around for a long time probably knows by heart: don't sacrifice anything for a box of LEGO. Don't go into debt to buy LEGO. Plastic cannot be eaten and it does not sell for as much as some people would like you to believe, especially when urgent action is required. If personal constraints force you to put this passion aside temporarily, don't worry, nothing is permanent and you may be able to come back to it later. We will always be there to welcome you.

Take care of yourself and yours, enjoy your family and friends, the way you live your passion for LEGO should not isolate you, on the contrary it should allow you to meet other fans for share. I have the impression that this is my case, this site being the origin or the cause of some of my most beautiful encounters in recent years.

2025 is shaping up to be a very busy year, many long-term projects are finally coming to fruition and you haven't finished seeing and hearing Chloé and I everywhere. We'll talk about it again in due time.

With these words, I wish you all an excellent year 2025 with or without all the LEGO products you dream of but above all with the health and love of those around you.
