The LEGO thread in Shopping Discussion. Add a Hobbies subforum?

Did the 10+ year old LEGO discussion thread recently get moved to Shopping Discussion? I don't remember it being there. It's not about shopping at all. Sports & Recreation might be a better place for it.

It was previously in the On-Going Deal Discussion subforum of Hot Deals.

Can it be put in entertainment? It’s a thread about a hobby. It’s rather OT both in shopping and in hot deals. The Action Figures thread is in Entertainment, the LEGO thread seems like it would fit there too. @Mars2012 any appetite to move it? Not sure why it was moved to Shopping Discussion of all places. It's a busy hobby thread and keeps popping up among actual shopping discussion.

@Mars2012 the Action Figures thread is in Entertainment, so can the LEGO thread be moved there too? It's quite a busy thread so it keeps getting bumped up to the top of Shopping Discussion where it is off-topic. I understand why it was moved out of Ongoing Hot Deals since it isn't that either, but why put it in Shopping Discussion? It's a thread about a hobby and not about shopping.

The collectible coins thread is another similar collectible hobby thread that for some reason is in Personal Finance of all places. Maybe a Hobbies subcategory could be added and all of these threads put there, with links to it from both Entertainment and Sports & Rec. Similar to how the Real Estate subform is a sub of both Home & Garden and Personal Finance.

Sounds reasonable. I've moved it to Entertainment.
