Am I completely CRAZY???
Cole has wanted this one gift since last year, so we caved in and got it for him. FOUR HUNDRED dollars and 3803 pieces!! Oh Vey! It was from everyone though. Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunt and Uncle and Mom and Dad. Plus no party. He had to chose....So actually I think we saved money. LOL


Now if I could just not freak out about the number of pieces!!! LOL

A spiral bound direction booklet....yikes.



Image

None of the bags are numbered and all mixed up. He loves to build the minifigures first....well not this time. A head in one bag, body in another, legs in another, hair in another...you get the idea.lol

Image

So we all pitched in. LOL

I think that is cool!


He really wanted it and sacrificed a party and all other gifts to get it, so I think he did learn an important lesson and wasn't just spoiled and indulged.

OMG! That's alot of pieces! Don't show that to my DH he would want it too, huge Star Wars fan. I think it's sweet that he sacrificed to get the thing he wanted most.

My 24 yr old son is watching football w/ us as I'm on the board and I had him look at your pictures. He said "that kid is so lucky!". He was a Star Wars fan and Lego fan years ago and remembers the whole family helping him put his kits together, too. But he never had anything as cool as this kit!! Happy belated birthday to Cole. Tell him to pose w/ the finished kit sometime so we can see it!

WOW!!! I think that one toy could fill an entire scrapbook. It might be a winter long project. But, it looks like he is thrilled!!

That's so cool. My son would never have the patience to wait for the pieces to be sorted. What a great idea! Now you need to come here and go to Legoland.

OK...so the smile on his face (and yours...even with the somewhat manic look in your eyes :winkb:) says you're NOT crazy! Look how happy he is...and he's wanted it for so long!!!

The last photo cracks me up though...how much are you having to pay the construction crews? :-D
