They opened at Lego store at Arundel Mills? Oh, man, that would have been dangerous when we lived in Baltimore. Now, the closest to us is Downtown Disney. (about 45 minutes and hellish parking on the best days)

or even gave in to purchase some?

I found a lot of nice things, including the Village Market kit I wanted and a tie-in set related to the Prince of Persia movie that's coming out. The main character's minifig is shirtless, so it would be perfect to use for Tez.

Didn't but anything though.

I know. That's the only thing that saves me from buying more legos than I can afford.

That and there's no room.

Is he yellow or pink?

Pinkish tan I think. :)

I have to tell you...

My eleven year old has a friend who's mother, I've come to believe, is obsessed with lego. I went 'round to their house yesterday to pick him up and found the place STREWN from fore to aft with little plastic blocks, partially and fully assembled pieces: the vast majority being Star Wars sets right up to a finished working model of a walker. Michelle told me that the lego had been stored in two HUGE boxes in pieces for some time since their last move. Her son expressed an interest in playing with them, opened a box, fiddled about for half an hour and then got frustrated because he couldn't find the pieces he needed to build a particular model. Unwilling to have seriously thousands of dollars worth of lego sit unattended for the next umpteenth years Michelle decided to take on the mammoth task of reassembling as many of the sets as she can. Lets put this into perspective. Take, say, eighty different large scale lego kits and tip all the pieces into a box big enough to house a decent size washing machine, swirl them all up and THEN try to reconstitute each of the individual models. Thus multi coloured lego snow all over the floor from here to next week. She's a braver wman then I.

Yikes. Yeah, I've got the same problem looming over my head now that Georgia has become interested in Daddy's legos. What I'm going to have to do is buy a fishing tackle box of something similar and start sorting them by type and color and just store the construction booklets separately.

She's doing something similar with hundreds of large ziplock bags a purpose bought set of plastic drawers.
