Yeah, I'll probably meet the same problem with my younger sis - her early lego
sets got lost in my big collection (there were some rare gems there, like the
pizzeria) and now that she's sort-of into lego, I don't know what we're gonna
do.
I'll have to see about that after her birthday (in ten days now). Me and my
older sisters bought her the Belville yacht, my parents bought her the Scala
sunshine home (all my campaign for a better, more enriched lego collection ;-)
and I wonder what'll happen.

I agree! Also about what Rachel said about the partner with hands and knees,
etc.!
My future (imaginary) family will all have scars from stepping on lego and
chipped fingers from seperating plates! :-)
