In the trash...my kids and my grandkids learned quickly to keep them picked up...or lose them.

Yeah, Americans refer to Lego bricks as Legos. As much as Lego doesn't like that, it's not really going to change here. Cry your tears with a Kleenex as you Xerox your complaint letters and mail them out.

I shall use a tissue and photocopy my complaints thank you.

I'm stabbing you through my screen right now.

*stab* *stab* *stabby* *stab*

Can you feel it?

You owe me a new monitor now as well.

Not really. After the first jab your knife fashioned crudely out of Legoes broke apart leaving you just a handle made out of Legos. I offered to help pick up your Leggi but you scoffed and ran away with what Leggae you had remaining.

I used a large tackle box when I was growing up.
Specialty pieces in the compartments. Generic pieces in the large open bottom area.

As promised...

Here are some pics of our City set up. Still some work left (have to paint the roads and do background etc).

We are also working on 2nd area across the basement. There will be track and highway that will go down along the wall.

Custom Train station with 2 custom double decker cars. That column is already fixed....don't bust my chops : D

We've been buying Legos for well over 15 years now. I've been collecting well over 30 hehe but unfortunately my collection was left behind when I moved to US. It adds up quick. I'm sure you are looking at well over 2-3k.

We build lots of customs though. But we will be filling up the town with some of those modular buildings in the future....maybe. I like one offs myself.

We have taken apart/rebuilt the whole damn city few times over. Here is some pics from the past...
