Hah! It's always a toss up between giving them the rare sets that I want or getting
them the basic sets. My problem is my kids already have an eye for good Lego sets
and/or pieces. It's going to be a real war around here in a couple of years. I'm
already waiting for them to go to bed so I can get the two small castle sets I
bought today out of the car...Then I can build in peace.
Is that bad or what?
