Awesome. Do you at least get to partake in the assembly?

I designed the pieces and built the test models- the order coming in is 300 copies of 4 designs, to be given out unassembled as gifts at our annual meeting. I did get to have fun designing them- the online LEGO designer is actually pretty cool.

Being dorkily excited because an order for $1500 worth of LEGOs just shipped to me.
It's a work thing...

COOL! This just begs me to ask the question?? Legos or Playmobile?? Debate away :argue: ;)

Right now I'm thinking about the Playmobile Pirate Ship I had as a kid :)

Dude- LEGO, all the way. With a LEGO pirate ship, when you get tired of playing Pirate you can take it apart to build a space ship and play Ice Pirates. With PlayMobil, when you're tired of playing Pirates, you can...well, play more Pirates.

+1

My 16YO son still has a full container of LEGOs. I think he still dives into it on occasion.

Anyone else been to LEGOLAND in CA? Most of the rides are very tame, but if you're a LEGO fan it's a must-see.

I used to lean Lego as a kid, but one day when Playmobil came out with a snowcat, I had instant gratification AND the ability to attack my pirate ship with a snowcat! :rolleyes:

Just made some chocolate & peanut butter chip Truffle Fudge Brownies and I'm considering baking something else that's non-chocolate to send tonight for the lifties. Kids are driving me nuts so I haven't really accomplished anything on the homework front.

ETA: Have Cinnamon Muffin Melt bars in the oven now. It's a Tastefully Simple kind of day here; no energy for homemade, but at least it's something.

I'm working late again, but not really, since I didn't make it into the office until 10:30
