That Volvo better have air conditioning. With 2200 pieces, you should be able to crank it up enough to generate some frost on the little Lego Dude/Dudette's head piece. :-)

Back in the 70's, my folks managed to get 4 or 5 tubs of Lego at an estate sale (maybe 2-3 bathtubs worth). Most were just bricks and flats ... but there were a couple of gears, shafts and wheels that allowed me to build things that I could drag/push along the floor. To my parents, it meant that they'd get time to themselves. To me ... it allowed my imagination to run wild!!!.

It wasn't until I went to high school that we passed on the horde to one of the neighbours who had a toddler. By then, the pile had grown and there were some space set and at least one technic set added to the bunch.

One day the neighbour actually called my mom to ask if it was all right to split the horde into 3 and pass it along. (Small Town Politeness). They both thought that the pile was simply too big for one child to fully enjoy.

I hope your comp goes well!!!

The legendary Lego horde is simply too big for one person. Best it was divided that many may enjoy it. Smart thinking.

Yep, I was the same, Lego as a kid..my parents couldn't afford the new stuff so we spent time collecting it from yard sales and places like that. Ah yeah the good times we had with Lego back then. I guess building now connects me to those days and brings the same enjoyment.

Almost time to head to the range. Got to get my gear arranged and game face on. 🤪
