[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. You all are missing my point.

He used to play with Legos 2-to 3 hours at a time, building all sorts of things. Now he stopped doing that. Additionally, the last few sets he's built once and never looked back. When I say he doesn't even display them, I mean that to me it seems he is treating Legos as a throw-away thing, like a Kiwi Tinker Crate. Which he does have and enjoys it. I am sorry, but $300 for a few hours of tinkering makes no sense to me.

But I am interested in selling Legos, where would I go? They are not sorted by model, unfortunately. It's just bins and bins of plastic. [/quote]

I hear you, OP. You sound like I did 2 years ago (my son is now 14). We had tubs and tubs of Legos that were never touched after the initial build. I eased him out of Lego by insisting that only the "favorites" were saved (they were all mixed together), and that half had to be thrown out. Over the next year, he asked for one or two special sets, but the rule was "one in, some out". I also guided him into "cooler" stuff that he never considered before. Don't listen to the nasty replies to your question. You're not anti-toy![/quote]

Wait! You actually TRASHED LEGOs? That’s insane![/quote]
