Argh, it's all my fault!! DNephew came to visit in the summer holidays and has taken a liking to my Lego (carefully saved from when I was a child and dug out so i could play with it again to amuse him)
He's asked for some for Christmas, because obviously mine lives at my house. However, mine is all 20 something years old and was bought for me.
He particularly liked my pirate island (with tree, parrot, working canon and shark), is there anything like that available nowadays? I'm worried about the consequences for my bank account if I'm allowed on the Lego site without supervision...
