[quote name='BoboTheBear']Long time lurker, first time poster in this thread. About a month ago I bought my kids the $8 Star Wars Battle Packs while we were shopping at Target. Now we're hooked. I've since spent $500+ on Legos for myself, er, I mean for them.
I have fond memories of Legos while I was growing up. I gave them all away when I went off to college, wish I kept them now.
Going to check around now for that clearance Enforcer. Anything space related (Star Wars, Space Police, Creator Space Shuttle, etc.) are huge hits in my household.[/QUOTE]
Dude, get out while you can.
Seriously, the best part of lego collecting is spending time with your child/kids. We have a ton of fun building then playing with them. I also like the thrill of the hunt for really good deals on lego sets. I usually buy several sets, if the deal is really good, and will ebay one set to help fund the set we keep.
At our house, Star Wars, City (Trains), and Toy Story lego are the ones we buy.
