Lego for Christmas

My SIL put small presents on the table when we visited and I’ve got a little City Police starter set to do.

We’ve still got boxloads, mainly in storage boxes rather than original sets.

I have been buying Lego for quite a while now
However I wait until certain models are going off sale and buy then. But I never open the boxes and just pack them away in a cupboard to see if they increase in price.

But reading all these threads has given me the urge to build something. To that end I am going hunting for my Sons old stuff as he has loads of models from the early 90's that were made repeatedly such as the Pirate Ship, all the Castle stuff and dozens of the Town models such as the Police Station etc. Off hunting now.

Treated myself to the smaller Millennium Falcon and the Yellow Submarine in the sales yesterday.

Also over the past 7 or so Christmas' we've been collecting the winter sets which now look like this...
