OT: LEGOS, Did anyone play with legos growing up? Options

[chunger]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone used to play with legos. . . my older brother and sister didn't let me play with their first lego firetruck and police car in 1978. . . they said I tried to eat them. I was pissed. . . I think I was 2, but I still remember that incident vividly. Afterwards, I went lego crazy and ended up doing architecture in college.

I have friends with kids come over to my house every week now, and they're just getting to the age where they are having enough focus to play with legos. I figure if we're going to do something anti-social and mellow sometimes while they're over, I'd prefer legos over videos. . . anyways, I'm needing to bolster my lego supplies. It's for the kids. .. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) no, really. . . it is. .. . for the children. I was wondering if anyone on the list has legos that are no longer used. . .either yours or your kid's. I'd be interested in stealing. . . I mean buying them . I gave a large portion of mine away quite a while ago. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif)

Well, if you've got anything, please shoot me a PM. I'm really glad LEGO is selling 1000 piece buckets again, but they're still dang expensive. Ebay is extremely helpful, but I figure there's people here who are into gaining garage space for car parts (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
