I have the same problem. I am clearing out quite a lot of sets right now to
make more space ("we are planning to move in the Spring & and Lego sets on

sets. I have listed about 150 lots this past month... and there is still a
lot to go!
The problem is our 2 year old - she has taken over the house with her Duplo!
