He failed to be crowned this year’s Lego Masters Champion.
But Trent Cucchiarelli has the perfect place to get over the disappointment – from his ultimate ‘man cave’ toy room in his Adelaide home.
The 38-year-old has been collecting thousands of figurines for over ’20 years’ and has a whole room dedicated to housing his impressive assortment of toys.

‘I have a dedicated toy room that is 6m x 4.8m, it’s jam-packed and overflows into the garage and a few cupboards around the house,’ he told The Advertiser on Tuesday.
With everything still in its pristine original packaging, you’ll be forgiven for accidentally thinking you’ve taken a wrong turn into a toy store.
‘If I want to open a toy, I will buy two,’ the father-of-two admitted.

The former accountant-turned-fantasy writer explained he was inspired to start his unusual collection after Star Wars figurines were re-released in the 90s.
‘Seeing these in the stores reignited my passion for toys and got me interested in looking for vintage toys I never had as a kid, but always wanted,’ he said.
Among his massive collective are figurines, vehicles and playsets from The Avengers, Justice Leauge and Masters Of The Universe.
