Construction Workers on Strike!

Well, they must be on strike; all their materials seem to have disappeared and they aren't getting much done. Sad little worker minifigs. They just aren't as productive as they used to be.

So, I have to get rid of them.

It makes me sad that I can't keep and play with these fun little things from way back. Well, at least I'll be made a bit happier by the $100 in my pocket for getting rid of them. I will be even happier when I get to the liquor store and turn that C-note into liquid fun.

Main Street for sale

Time for another installment of Selling My Childhood. I've actually been on a rampage since the beginning of the year and have nearly finished ridding my house of all my old Lego sets. But I haven't posted them!

These were great in their day, I had vast megalopolises and corporate power beyond measure all wielded by tiny minifigs doing their thing. Although my castle system is long gone (I'll track down photos and post later, hopefully), Main Street, the hub of the Lego empire is next on the auction block. Main Street is where the minifigs go to work hard and play hard. Featured in this photo are an upscale garage (servicing only import vehicles) and a fancy five-star hotel getting the finishing touches from the construction crew. You can also see a cowboy pulling up in his Cadillac (I sure hope he doesn't have any car problems, as that garage will not be there to help him out!), and a popcorn vendor ready to fill young minifigs with salty snacks.

The Legos are almost gone. I posted Main Street, a train set, and a partial construction yard yesterday. All I have left now are spare parts.
