Thank you!!! My husband is going to be so excited to get this for Christmas. 🙂
That’s who I was going to get it for too (my husband, not yours LOL). I just got him the Millenium Falcon for his birthday. I’m wondering if this is really a great deal or if i should wait for a better offer…it’s only $3 cheaper than Walmart’s regular price…
I have a question! How does everyone deal with these Lego “sets” once they are made? My sons have a few that they got for Christmas or birthdays in year past, and they make them, but then they either sit FOREVER somewhere and collect dust on a shelf or dresser, or they break and we start losing pieces (and we have a toddler that will mess them up if they are in reach). Quite honestly, I’m so TIRED of having to find places to put their lego ships, etc. that they made……should we just break them, put them in a ziploc for another day? (We do save all the directions in a separate spot). Or should I just mix them all up in the Lego bin with all the other pieces? We don’t have a lot of room in the first place and they don’t “play” with them at all once they make them. They DO love to make their “own” things. I love legos, I do! And I know they are great to build and follow direcitons for these kinds of ships and buildings. But the sets are so “piece-specific” and I’m just not sure what others do that is a better option for us?
This was a never-ending battle for me, too. I spent a lot of time researching what others do and finally decided to do what seemed most common: sort them by color only. This seemed strange to me because I am anal, but it really makes things so much easier. My son prefers it this way, and it works so much better because I and anyone else can put the pieces away as we find them. When we did it the other way, I was always having to find time to sit down with my son and force him to go thru “what piece does this go to?” piles. It has been a huge time and clutter saver for me. He can still build the sets by using the directions. It really isn’t as hard to find the little pieces for every set as I thought it would be. He also likes making his own things, and he can do this more this way, too. HTH
lol, I’m not sure this will be good for us! My 4 and 6 year olds can barely put the legos away in one of the 2 shallow/clear bins we have! I know they would rarely put them away by color with so many colors 😉 Thanks though for replying!
Honestly, it depends on the set for us. The larger, nicer sets don’t get taken apart (e.g., Millennium Falcon, which took my six year old a full eight hours to build), and my son has some special creations and smaller sets displayed on a bookshelf that I devoted to built Lego sets. The rest are for free building in sorters (though not actually sorted, LOL). Periodically, I do a sweep of the Lego table and dump everything in the bins/boxes, unsorted (I’ve sorted our “indoor” Legos by type into large bins and bead sorter boxes for the specialty parts so many times, and they never remain sorted). We also have a huge amount of new-to-us Legos currently in our garage that I bought in bulk from our neighbor. These I spent a day sorting by color (and no stressing my anal heart this time–all greens went together, whether they were forest or lime!) and minifigures and accessories. They are stored in two of those large three-drawer Sterilite “dressers.” This, I think was the was the winning storage solution: months later, they are more or less still sorted! My now seven year old has no problem keeping them properly sorted since there are a limited number of containers (vs. the many compartments in the sorters we have in the house). Granted, he does not *like* putting them away properly–or at all–but I remind him that if he doesn’t, they will get sucked up by the vacuum/run over by the car/fill in the blank. You really have to train them young. If I had my way, I’d store all sets in Ziploc baggies in their original, carefully opened boxes (ha ha!) and only leave the bulk Legos for play, but we have so many Legos, and they are the the toys my son primarily plays with. It wouldn’t be fair to put nearly all of them away. If your kids have trouble picking up all the Legos anyway, maybe your solution would be to store away some of the sets. It would be less mess for them–and you–to deal with. When they’re a little better about putting them away, you could give them the others. I wouldn’t bother with any elaborate sorting strategies until they reliably pick them up. It also helps to have specific places to play with them. We used to have a dog that ate the rubber wheels, which trained my son to play with them at the kitchen counter, at tables, etc., rather than on the floor where they just get lost. I’m still trying to sort out best Lego practice myself, so good luck!
Suddenly sorting Barbie shoes from Barbie food from Barbie clothes from Barbie brushes, etc doesn’t seem so bad (or as crazy) 😀
At our house they get built, played with for a bit, until they fall apart and then they go in a big (huge) bin for free play. Both of my sons loved creating whatever their hearts desired. They would play for hours making all kinds of things and having all kinds of battles. Our house is very small, so there just is not room to keep the creations all together, and honestly, how much fun is it to build it and then just look at it? It is not a cheap toy by any means, but we have gotten our money’s worth for sure.
I should add that I would like to think ahead and save these sets for their own kids, but in a way I get anal trying to make sure no one messes with all the pieces, which seems contradictory to wanting to let them play and be creative? Thoughts anyone?
My mother in law recently gave us several sets from when my husband was a child. She made a bag that opens to be a play mat and when they are done we just cinch it up. Some things get displayed for awhile and then go back to the bag. All the instructions stay with the bag too. 🙂 My kids are ages 7, 5 &2.
Would love to see one of those bags……..my daughter has a problem with her boyfriends Lego collection. He still plays with them and now they are having a baby and some need to be taken apart. No more Lego room now it’s a nursery. lol
When they build ships you can hang them in their room. These things can cost a pretty penny and I don’t like to toss them in a bin. I have some my son plays with that we’re not the expensive sets. But after he puts them together he just wants to play with the guys so I hang them with fishing line in his room.Legos have a good resale value and I see boys going off to collage and selling them on ebay to have money for schooling. They can be a real investment.
whoa this about $74 at toys r us…we love legos!!
If your kids/husbands are “done” with them and you still have instructions/box go ahead and sell them on eBay. My husband does this all the time since the thrill for him is in the building, not the admiring of the finished piece. Since sets are retired all the time, you might have a treasure sitting there that can be sold and the profits used to buy more. Or check out pleygo.com…it’s a Netflix type Lego site. They buy old sets/pieces and give credit toward their service too. It’s kind of cool, though we haven’t sprung for a membership quite yet!
