The Lego has been sat forlornly in the playroom for the past few years now and it’s time to get rid of it —weeps quietly at all of the memories—. But how?? We were always a family who played with it rather than built a model and admired it. Even on the rare occasions when we did have a model which was left as it was (Hogwarts for example) it has had various knocks & bumps and so pieces were knocked off. This means that I have two Trofast shelves which are about 4ft high full of Lego separated by colour and then various models in various states of intactness
My plan had been to sort some of the bricks out in certain sets and keep those and a general mix of bricks. So I started earlier to find the pieces for the dinosaur 3 in 1 set as I thought that that would have good play value. In my head, this was going to be a simple case of going to the green drawer, finding the pieces, going to the brown drawer etc. I have been doing it for an hour and have 80% of the green, dark green, white and beige pieces but I definitely don’t have all of them. The set only costs about £18. I’m beginning to wonder if this is a pointless exercise. I was only going to put it in the loft for occasional visits (as in once or twice a year tops) from distant relatives so I am spending all of this time for no real gain.
In which case, what do I do with it all? Do I just donate it to local primary schools and the local LEGO club for children with SEN? Would even they want it as mixed up as this?
