[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She made an honest mistake. Two of them. When she cleaned up your Lego’s when you were a kid they were all probably random blocks. I do t remember huge special $100 sets. So she made a mistake cleaning the blocks. Then she made another mistake scolding your son because she was working from faulty knowledge that they were just old blocks laying around. Your mom should apologize. If she is a good grandma then maybe she should help your son sort. It is on you to buy a new set if you want to. Your son needs to learn that people make mistakes. And that Lego’s are really just toys.[/quote]

Bull pucky.  I had the castle with the hill baseplate.  My sister had the pirate ship.  My brother got something with another raised baseplate (tan), although I don’t remember exactly what it was.  All in the 1990s.  My uncle had a huge Star Wars collection, 1980s.  The biggest difference is that the big sets usually came with a base plate, and now they don’t.

She took apart multiple sets and mixed them together.  It’s likely several hundred dollars to buy them again.  I vote for grandma sorting the pieces.[/quote]

My castle was $85, which is why it was my only Christmas present from Santa.

I don’t remember which ship my sister got the same Christmas.  I do remember that every birthday and Christmas for the next couple years featured either an Imperial or Pirate ship or building.  All were “big” sets.

As I said, I don’t remember which set my brother got, but since he was 4 years younger, he was getting duplo sets when we got legos.  I know he got the number train, letter building and numerous zoo sets.

Trying to say there weren’t sets 20-40 years and that’s why she didn’t know is ridiculous, false and shifting blame.[/quote]
