    does turning tires to black wall out count? How bout added snug top rebel.
    Spent a couple weekends organizing all my old Legos, it really took four days off and on. I never kept my sets together because I always built new things from my imagination and I wasn't too keen on organization.

    Not all labels are perfect, as I went I changed a couple things.
    I did all that so my son and I could actually build the stuff we wanted, before it was literally all in a huge bin, and totally impossible to find anything you wanted.

    That was a couple weeks ago, and today we built a moped from this set.image.jpg

    Found every piece but one, but had it in another color.

    And all stacked away.

    They are really cool sets. Mostly I'm having a blast with my son, I don't care what we're building!
    We built a hero factory set a couple weeks ago that a friends kid had never built, just sitting in his closet, so his mom gave it to my son. It was for 11-up and he was so proud that he could build it(with some help on the joints, shoulder and hips). He told his mom, "I'm only 6 and I can build Legos for 11 year olds".

    Something I've wanted to do for 25 years! Crazy, it wasn't easy and I didn't have a plan, but it's organized enough so I can find the parts. I'm psyched it's done!

    I was surfing around Amazon and have have a few Star Wars sets on sale. Sets like Ewok Village $224, Shuttle Tydirium $69, and the Final Duel for $57. They might be clearing out old stoke due to retiring soon. Just a thought.

    So I was surfing around eBay like I always do and ran across a guy selling 2 #8098 Star Wars Turbo Tanks from 2010 new in sealed boxes. Well he had them marked at a very reasonable price for the last 3 days. Today I went back and saw he'd dropped the price to $100. This deal might be too good to be true be we shall see. I had to give it a go.

    I bought 12 more packs of series 16 CMFs. 11 of them are doubles. I am still missing 2 for the set. I'm going to get a few more packs and see how it goes. Else I'm just going to buy them off eBay.

    I can't wait to build some of them. We have to move out of this shoebox to do that. My closet is stuffed currently, I don't know where I'm going to put the ones in the future. Stacked to the ceiling.

    While I don't feel bad about the majority of my sets not being built I come nowhere close to the amount you have. That's a shit ton of bricks.

    My wife says the same thing. I have all the smaller sets on the other side of the wall. According to brickset I have like 95k unbuilt bricks in there. I'm going to have a hell of a time when we gotta move.

    I hope our next place has the room to build and display them.
