My mom still had my old Tron toys. I never had a Flynn. I had a Tron a Sark and a red light cycle. They have since been passed down to my 10 year old niece.

If you are, that's awesome. Spend some time with him, and let him become the person that he'd like to be, rather than the person that some peer-pressure will make him into.

Enjoy Tron, Enjoy Star Trek, Enjoy Star Wars. If you can keep the wonder and enjoyment of the world in you heart long after your formal education is complete, then so much the better for all of us.

I've still got some Lego stuff. Last time I bought a set for myself was to get the "Orient Expedition" sets. Awesome stuff for a former Archaeologist. I see there are some new ones and I'm tempted to start buying them again.
You were a Archaeologist? Cool! Did you do stuff like Indiana Jones? Also thanks for the support guys, I needed it!

I remember Orient Expedition! Definitely one of my favorite board games ever. I think I've also still got the promotional Applebee's Lego Orient Expedition collector's cup.

However, if there were one Lego system that I loved the most, it was the Life on Mars one. It was and still is the only Lego system that I had every set for. But only one part of it really mattered:

I used to have boxes of Lego when I was a boy.
And apart from the really young kids stuff, I don’t think that there really is a an age limit to it (although it does depend on when and what you actually do it with though)

In the UK we have an entertaining TV show about cars called Top Gear, and one of the hosts is a guy called James May.
Last year, he did a TV series called James May’s Toy Stories, where each week he would take a popular toy (like Scaleletrix and train sets) and not only does he give a bit of history about that toy but he also sets himself a challenge using it (the worlds longest train track or Scaleletrix circuit, for example).
Anyway, he did an episode about Lego, and he set himself a challenge-to build the worlds first Lego HOUSE.
An amazingly, he actually managed to DO IT!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1214729/James-May-size-Lego-house-wants.html

And the thing was, it wasn’t just kids that did it, but there were many adults involved has well (including builders & architects).

I really loved the idea myself!

Yep. and No, I didn't.

I mostly walked in straight lines, dug holes in odd patterns, screened nasty soil, and dodged unexploded ordinance on military bases. The conditions were usually bad, the pay was awful for anyone with a college-education. I gave that up after six years and became a geographer.

Well thanks guys for all the support. Now that I know LEGO is okay...on to the next thing. There is this LEGO set, a $400 set. And yes, I know, that is a lot of money. I have nothing else I need it for (bills, food, girls, etc.) so I don't want to be told I don't need it. Anyway I have I have about $200, if I wait until Christmas I could get $100 from my parents. Also my Grandma might give me $150 then, but she is cheap and might not. So all I have, not including the Grandma that is cheap, is $300. I might be able to save $25 a month until Christmas, which would give me all the money, but then I might not. Can you guys think of any way for me to get $100? I have thought of part time jobs but at 16 I don't do that. (I want to enjoy my young life, not waste it on some job I don't need) Any and all help would be appreciated!

END OF LINE

Oh yeah, here is a picture of the set in question. Cool, eh?

I forgot to mention in my last post that Lego sets today are ridiculously overpriced. $400 is waaaaaay too much for a mini Death Star, even if it is fully functional.where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

Well it cant destroy planets so its not fully functional. But like I said I don't want people telling me it is too much money. I have made up my mind, I will get it. Now if you could help answer the original question I would appreciate that. order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

It's your money obviously, but perhaps you might want to save that kind of money for a car or a vespa or something?

As far as making 100-200 bucks... get a job? It's nearly fall - you could rake leaves or do end-of season garden work for local folks. No idea where you are in the country, but that's the usual avenue for revenue.

Car yes, vespa no. Well I dont think $400 will buy either and there is already a car for me to use when I get a licence. Or a truck if we ever fix it. And thanks for the idea on yard work but I live in the country so there are not many people and the ones that are here have their own kids for that.

Just have to chime in with the whole, "you're never too old for Lego" sentiment. I haven't stopped collecting since I was 4, and now I'm on the verge of turning 23. Even going to college out of state didn't stop me. Thank goodness for the Internet and eBay! And now that I have a full-time job that pays really well, I'm pretty much set to buy any Lego set I want. on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlineorder abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

The trick is to put them on a plastic tray or in a shallow box while you build so you dont lose them. Works good for me! where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion
