My parents made me give away all my Legos when I became a teenager. I hold
no grudges against them, but I do regret not having those early '80s space
and castle sets anymore. I don't even collect the space and castle themes
now, but it would be tough to give up my those sets now that I'm an adult.
I recently found an old 6356 set that appeared at my parents.... it's worn
and has no instructions or box, but I would never sell it unless I had to :)
I'm not sure I'd give it to my kids to abuse either....
