    We probably come in a close second. Ours aren't nearly as well organized as yours!

    I always thought slippers were dorky. Guess who always wears slippers now... the leather kind that old fogeys wear.

    Sadly, we have more. They aren't played with nearly as often. My boys are 16,17,19. My husband insists on keeping all of them. (but we did throw out a couple handfuls when we moved a couple months ago)

    Legos on the floor in front of windows are the cheapest, most effective form of home security. I dare someone to step on one and not scream and curse. :noway:

    There's apparently a huge aftermarket. . If you know what kits you've had. . build them. . get all the pieces and sell them. . And the Mini figs go for $10 - $15 a pop. I know because my son just blew his allowance on a green ninja.

    All I can say is - Now I KNOW what my 3yr old son's room is going to look like in the next few years !!! Oh NO, he LOVES legos and I HATE helping to picking them ALL up but with Christmas and a birthday coming up very soon, I can definitely imagine his room willl look VERY similar. I cannot wait - Yay (could you feel the sarcasm dripping from those words?)

    Lucky you !!! :laugh: BTW - your son is soooo cute - looks like his daddy too :wink:


    ETA: Your kid wins - This time :devil: I am posting my own photo after the festivities. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Have fun dad :bigsmile:

    You got that right! My son is in the spectrum and I thought we had a lot!!!

    (I wish all Legos were magnetic so that you can just wave a magnet wand over them for much easier cleanup.)

    :laugh: Love this !! And the funny thing is that it might actually work - I am really going to try it out BUT I would HATE picking them up EVERY morning. I may just get a dog instead ? :laugh:

    I love this thread! My 11-yr-old is a Lego collector. We have a pretty respectable cache by now, and it is still growing. Currently, he has $125 in gift cards he is sitting on, waiting for after Christmas sales to see how much more he can expand his collection :tongue: The Lego Store is probably his favorite place on earth.

    Same with Star Wars action figures. I still have old ones in a box somewhere. My new ones are covering my desk at work.

    I think between the 3 of my boys we would have that much or more if I didnt keep throwing them out when I found them all over the house lol

    The ones we threw put were either broken or a few odds and ends we found after the multiple large boxes were packed away for the cross country move.

    I'd be good to giving away or garage saling half of ours, my husband keeps everything .. Always... And wr are running low on storage...LOL

    But those little LEGOS cost way too much to throw them all away..LOL

    Legos are too expensive to throw out... and too fun :)

    I.. er, my kids are upset because 'grandma' won't release my legos... the only time I get to play with them is when I bring the kids to visit.
