First, Thank you Guss for the warm welcome.
Captain Zuloo, City is one of my personal favorites but my two young LEGO maniacs have different tastes. My oldest is into Star Wars, at six I understand why he is. My youngest is into everything that is cool, at three I understand that. My youngest is going insane seeing the Farm Sets that are coming out. I am sure he will want them all since he is into tractors and farming since we live next door to a large farm and have equipment on our homestead also.
Much of the sets are what they liked and picked. Some are older sets from my youth.
So we have built a country that holds all the themes. There are some Pirates roaming around drunk. Castle is there as the Castle of the Country and the guards of the King. Some super Heroes saving the day, Spider Man, Batman and my Iron Man fig. Sponge Bob and the Krusty Krab are in there somewhere, redesigned though. Indy Jones figs control the oil drilling and mining finding jewels all the time. I made some COBRA figs for GI Joe and they cause trouble most days. I collect City and Town sets and add them in, hoping it looks something like a actual city. The Holidays are fast approaching and amazingly they both want City sets, the Police Station and Fire Station.
With the two boys I never know what will be added to the layout, or what may be destroyed. The best thing is they are always surprising me. The wife laid the law down on us, no more growing the table, it's all ready large. But she didn't say we could'nt go up, or under
Thanks also for the warm welcome.
