Unimog Lego Shopping

Weather in Richmond this morning: sunny.  As we drive towards Vancouver, large gray clouds loom overhead.  As we approach our destination (Toys R Us), hail plunks down on our car.  I watch as the little ice balls bounce off the car windshield.

We picked up another lego Technic because M really wants it and is afraid it'll be gone by the time TRU offers a sale on Technics.  :p  There has been lots of spending on lego lately... but sadly not by me.  I'm still waiting for October before picking up the Town Hall for my Christmas present.

Isaac's still trying to make rockets but also makes submarines now.  He also likes jets, planes, quad bikes, etc.  When M showed Isaac the lego technic box at the store, Isaac said "whoa".  I think it'll take M a while to build it over the weekend.

Yesterday M was building a model of the X-wing spaceship, Isaac got tired of waiting for daddy to finish it, so he decided to build his own X-wing (with one of our bins of spare regular lego pieces).  I've been looking for more lego from Value Village, but sadly there hasn't been much lately.  Maybe I just haven't been going in the mornings when they open - but our current schedule constraints with morning classes makes it difficult.  I did happen to see something with a few pieces of lego, but it was mixed with a lot of Tyco and Mega Bloks (which are brands I don't want) - so I didn't buy it.  I'm waiting for the garage sales and big kid swap meets to pick up some more random lego pieces.
