"girl pieces" (as she puts it). i have TONS of lego in our crawl space, but it's "old" (again, as my daughter puts it) - mostly city lego from the later 70s thru the 80's, the early sets of space lego and lots of the earlier star wars lego with a little bit of old technic thrown in too . definitely not "girl lego" - ha! ha!
well, let's just say the 'girl' colours peaked an interest, so this past week my wife posted a 'looking to buy girl lego' ad on some mom's webpage she's on. a lady replied back that her daughter was just going thru all of her lego and getting rid of it and we could stop by and have 'first dibs'.
these are what i got...

now here is the kicker... ALL of that for.....
Spoiler!


the cool thing is that this has sparked a huge interest in lego in our son (he's 3.5 yrs) which is awesome.

as much as he loved his private jet he said to me, 'daddy... i have no where to land!?!?'
i told him i'd be right back and went down to the crawl space and grabbed my old airport set and things were all good!

i'm just sooooo excited that they are interested in it as it was such a huge part of my childhood!!
OK this is awesome and I can't wait until this phase with my kids!
