“GOOD DAY, SIR! … I SAID GOOD DAY" from New Orleans

[Batman720]

I've been a member for a couple of months and I realized I never introduced myself. Better late then never. My name is Jason and I'm live in New Orleans, Louisiana. I recently got back into Lego, when my children were old enough. Like many of you know, it's been a downward spiral into the abyss that is Lego.

Growing-up, I was one of five and my family never had much money. Lego was luxury that we rarely received, but always wanted. Now as an adult, it's hard not to buy EVERYTHING that you want and justifying it to my wife by telling her it's for the children

I've enjoyed picking up a couple used bulk mainly for the bricks. I wanted my children to start out with them, instead of them only wanting sets. Still working on the best method of sorting for my available space, but this site has been the BEST RESOURCE!!!

On a side note, it's fascinating what you find in bulk lots. The treasure chest of teeth has to be one of the most surprising items I've found.

I'm actually your future self that came back so that I can pick up more Walmart clearance LEGO!!!! Haha

[Thanos75]

If that's the case then I would like to tell myself to pass up all that Chima I bought.

[Batman720]

Haha.... That must be the reason I didn't get any of them.

[Thanos75]

I will gladly share.

I remember when I was about the only LEGO guy in town.....if anyone in the area ever wants to get together to trade deals or show off their collections or go hunting together just PM me.

That's very kind of you. I might have to do that it looks like an AWESOME build. I had just come out of the dark ages when those disappeared.

A long overdue hello from me to you, sir. Welcome to the site, Jason.

We have a lot in common Jason! I think starting your children out with bulk is a great idea, and encouraging the organization is a plus. Hope you and yours get to have lots of fun.
