In the ongoing process of finding money under rocks, I found these gems in the garage to cell. I don't know if they will sell, but I am going to try. I used to love legos, not this size of course, the little ones. I totally love legos. I would love to have and build and play with them now, sadly they are expensive, and that is so far out of the budget it might as well be resting on the moon right now.
I do have some great memories of building things. My sister and I would get a couple of sets for Christmas each year, we would build whatever they were for once, and then take them apart, adding all of the bits and pieces to our collection. Then we'd make whatever we wanted. I remember building big buildings, and amusement parts and all kinds of things that there were no sets for.
There was a draw back...stepping on the darn things. There is little pain worse than stepping on a lego barefoot, am I right?

well I am not upset about getting rid of these, if they were the smaller size I would be, since these are toddler sized not so much, I never have a reason to pull them out.

Check on Ebay but I would guess they won't be worh the effort. You might want to try Facebook's yard sale groups.

When we were little, we were dying to have those. But back then money was tight and our parents won't budge to buy us toys like that. We have to content with whatever they can find at a cheapest price and we must be thankful of it. Now that we're older and can afford it, our interest faded. But we have much younger siblings that have these and so we experienced building stuff out of it. It was still fun but u think it wouldn't be as much fun as when we were kids.

finally gave them away, no one wanted. About to start trying to get a weight bench and some chairs out of a car my MIL sold (and didnt come back by to pick up the backseats she had left in our storage)
. There was nothing like lego when I was a child, but my own children had a lot of fun with it.

My oldest son had a space set of legos and he passed them on to his children and they were passed on to the great grand children.
