Old School Legos Revived!

Over the past few months Joel and Rachel have become more interested in Legos. I even got down my 2 large bins of Legos and we would occasionally play with them.  In January I picked out four sets from my youth and put them together. It took a LONG time to search for all of the pieces.

 
1990: This set was my favorite Lego set from when I was a kid. It was still assembled when I finally went through and disassembled all of my Legos when we moved away from Mesa Oak.

1989: This set was cool when I was a kid but I don't think it was built for all that long before it hit the big bin of parts.  I was able to find all but one of the pieces for this set.

1987: Amazingly enough, I was able to find all of the parts required to build this. This is the one I like to let Joel hold because it doesn't break quite as easy as the rest.

1986: Holly cow! I remember getting this set for Christmas at Grammy's house all those years ago. I was only 7 years old.  This set has lights and sound generated by a battery pack. I put in a 9V battery and it still worked!  Pretty good for a set almost 30 years old.
