My little one, ER, is now getting old enough to play with real LEGOs so while we were at my mom's this weekend for a split 4th of July/Birthday celebration we broke out the LEGO collection from when I was a kid. This is from before LEGO's went all tie in crazy so no Star Wars or other Brands just classic Castle LEGOs. About 1 copier paper box of Castle/Pirate and one of just general space and city. We had a lot of sets and they were all mixed together in the end. We tried to assemble one of the old castles from the plans but got stuck looking for some very specific parts that in the big pile are hard to find. We then did some sorting so next time we might have an easier time off it and actually get that castle built so the Princess can be rescued by the Knight in shining armor. I have a girl so a Princess must be involved current.Tuesday, July 6, 2010

Timeless! Nice to see another cross-generation LEGO jump! Tell me those came home with you!
ReplyDeleteLego rules! I think I love it almost as much as my kids do.
ReplyDeleteThey have not come home yet. They are only partially mine so they will probably stay at my moms a little longer.
ReplyDeleteThe current LEGO castles set "Kingdoms" actually does have a princess piece.
ReplyDeleteMy old set have a princess also. Not that fancy but with a skirt and hat definately at least a maiden.
