What I Got After a Yard Sale

I got two Lego Atlantis sets during last week because we did a yard sale and I got some money. One was the Gateway of the Squid. I also got the Monster Crab Clash. The Monster Crab has snapping jaws. The Squid in the Gateway of the Squid has spinning squid jaws.

Death Star Wish

Soon I am getting the Lego Death Star. It is giant. Every year I get a giant Lego set for the end of the school year prize.

For kindergarden I got the Lego Droid Federation MTT.

For first grade I got the Lego Pirates Pirate Ship.

And for second grade, I am getting the Death Star. Look how many pieces!

I'm paying $200 and my parents are paying $200.

John's Lego Mindstorm

My dad, John, got a giant Lego Mindstorms Set with 619 pieces. Mindstorms is Lego Technic pieces that can usually make four or five sets. There is one basic thing called 'start here.' That took about twenty or thirty minutes to build. It was fun. That robot, you can connect other pieces to it to make the shooterbot, the robogator, the colorsorter and just a regular walking robot.

You can see each one on the left. On the upper left is the shooterbot; next to it is the sorterbot. Below the shooterbot is the regular walking robot and next to the walker is the robogator.

Other Good Finds This Week

This week, my dad was at the shore and he found another Lego set called City Corner. It usually costs $60 but we got it for $12. It is missing one building, a pizza place, but still has the bike shop, bus and bus stop. There's a giant Lego city developing in my basement and I'm going to put it down there. It was fun building it.

Yesterday's Big Find!

Yesterday, I found a Lego set, sitting in a bin. It was called Jabba's Message. It was really old and unopened. Inside are three minifigures; Bib Fortuna, R2-D2, and C-3P0. Since it was so old, it could sell for $80. But, since I didn't have a Bib Fortuna or a Threepio, I kept it.
