Oh no - call them off!! I can't possibly compete with that veritable army from Star Wars, let alone the superheroes, and so I take my Lego comments right back!
What's wrong with keeping stuff for possible future grandchildren,I've got lego and a huge box of building blocks although by the time I get any no one will know what to do with them!
Perhaps they had to make them more violent for the American consumer. My big castle has a mini trebuchet. I bought it when my kids were little and one is in college now. That was a long time ago, maybe they don't make those anymore.
We've got train sets, boxes of cars, Duplo, Lego ... you name it. All because we're waiting to become grandparents. But no sign yet. So they take up a whole cupboard. I'm sure I'll stop resenting them once the pitter patter of little feet is finally heard. Not that I'm in a hurry. I don't want to be an under-50 granny.
Unless one of mine has a miracle pregnancy (ie under 2 months) I'm not going to be an under-60 granny, alas. But I have the Lego all right. Huge quantities. (But not those very fierce chappies in the pictures. Did I deprive my son? Having two big sister, the poor chap was brought up among many dollies and Sylvanian Families and My Little Ponies... He seems to have survived, though.)
I too have kept Lego......3 large boxes and some ( I have 3 sons! ) and that green fella is lurking somewhere upstairs in a cupboard with his Star Wars pals! Lots of toy cars too. 1st grandchild is due in just over a week........bound to be a girl ! Do girls like Lego?
Alas, WV is going back on - I know it's hateful, but so are the robot spammers. Please please don't let WV stop you from leaving your oh-so-welcomed comments!

ReplyDeleteI see your army and raise you two crates of Warhammer models.
ReplyDeleteNow we know what you get up to on a cold winter's night.
ReplyDeleteAll this sorting and decorating has finally tipped you over the edge...
ReplyDeleteBring it on, my Playmobil castle and siege engines can take ya.
ReplyDeleteWow, love the Star Wars guys, maybe they could get rid of the mouse for you. Any sign of it yet?
ReplyDeleteSee what you've set off now, Hazel? Archduke Ferdinand must be turning in his grave.
ReplyDeleteAmy, I just don't believe that Playmobil has seige engines - just soppy-looking little knights on fat ponies.....
Awww -cute about Lego for future grandkids. You've done a great organizing job there, for sure!
ReplyDeleteMy Playmobil ponies were not fat! Those were the Weeble ones.

ReplyDeleteWe've still got a Playmobil camper van upstairs somewhere in case anyone needs a bit of R&R .

ReplyDeleteWish I'd kept the Lego, I could play with it now and remember those lovely Playmobile people, I do miss them!

ReplyDeleteAn enviable collection.
