February 24, 201510 yr The good things is at least getting out of darkage ! I wish you a lot of fun with Orthanc ... I'll have to wait at least 3 years to open the box with my oldest ... I donated my childhood legos to a friend who used them a lot, and have no nostalgia to have those sets back, so it was all good. But if you have some sets buried at your parents home, for sure go get them ! I think everybody agrees on the childish Castle theme, but for me that is no issue at all. I first buy for the kids, and they'll be happy with it. Then I do not think an adult can be really satifised with a Lego castle anyway, it would need to have a much higer piece count. The good thing is that you can easily accumulate a lot of grey / white / black pieces and make huge castles anyway. Life is good ! Thank you for your wishes. Currently I have so many sets to build and very few hours available. When your sons will open Orthanc they will have the chance to build a set that in three years is likely to become very sought after. I'm sure they will be proud to own, build and play with it I understand the reason you "first buy for the kids". Family and the persons we care about always come first. There is a person who is very special to me and if I had to choose between making her happy with something she loves or adding even more sets to my (rather large) collection I put her first. Bringing happiness, or helping, those we care about is priceless Anyway, I'm quite sure those old sets of mine should be around somewhere. It's even possible they are in my own home, stored years ago in some box. I had sets who are very sought after right now. The very old Castle sets and even Space sets that now are extremely rare. Well at least my old Pirate theme collection (including the old Blue and Red Coats) is largely "intact"
