Usually my LEGO dreams have me finding a giant pile of LEGO (like square
city block size,) or a vally full of LEGO, while I'm walking along a road.
Tons of minifigs and accessories. They often have cool designs and paint
jobs that TLC never produced. Like a tri corner hat that is red on top and
blue on bottom ect. sometimes there are completed models but usually there
are just tons of pieces. weird that there are never any grey bricks (that
is what I need the most of) everyhing is very colorful (whether I actually
dream in color is another debate entirelly) Prices never come into play
cause the giant pile of lego is free to who ever finds it.
I wish that I could remember some of the designs that I dream up cause I
could make some great custom work with those ideas?
Sweet LEGO dreams
