I just turned fifteen and all my friends actually think it is the coolest
thing that I still play with LEGOs. Whenever I have a party, second to people
going a few houses down to knock on Enrique Igeslias (or however you spell it)
house hoping he will answer, people loved taking tours to my uncle's garage
next door (actually, there is no barrier between my house and my uncle's, so
its really just a short walk across the yard) In fact, every weekend there is
always someone over and they always want to play with LEGOs. Some of them have
even taken out there old LEGOs. The best part is when they sell you pieces,
like grey tiles, baseplates, and trees, for dirt cheap prices, or, when they
are really nice, they give them to you for free. :-) One of my best friends,
Rachel, has pretty much every Paradisa and Belville set avilable and her
brother has ever set in the 1999 range (and I mean EVERY!). I love going
through her parts seeing what she has (cypress trees! ponies! blue baseplates!
grey tiles!), and sometimes she is very nice and gives me the piece. She says
once I can get her a white dolphin (which I finally tracked down, since I
really wanted to keep mine), she'll give me her cypress tree! :-)
