Nothing More Annoying...

Just got a package of 10 lbs of Lego in the mail today... it's not to terrible... paid a little too much for it. About 30% of it was Tente and MegaBlocks. The bricks themselves weren't too dirty or smell too funky -- they're used, so I expected them to be played with. But I was suprised at the number of broken plates... just snapped in half... and some pieces look like they were shot with a BB gun... And it broke my heart seeing that someone took super glue to some of the parts -- very annoying.

The suprising thing was, there were some really old parts in the mix; say early to mid-70's, because the Lego logo on the pips was the old logo and parts from a few homemaker figures.

Garage Sales Finds

This weekend was great for garage sales finds... Erika found a Mickey Mouse toy box (that we're using for a toy box for the nieces & nephew, for now) & a few other Mickey Mouse toys. And I found two tubs of Duplo & a tub of loose LEGO. I also picked up 2 CDs: "Simply Mad About the Mouse" with Disney songs by Billy Joel, Ric Ocasek, LL Cool J, and others; and "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" by Roger Waters... both for $1 each.
