My son and I have used some of the LEGO sets you’ve seen in previous posts to build a LEGO city. I used to have a LEGO city in my room when I was a kid and it’s great to see my own children enjoying it. We’ve integrated my old sets along with some new ones. Here’s Will showing it off:

More LEGO Sets
Back at the cottage means more of my old LEGO sets! These were the smaller sets that you could sometimes convince your parents to buy you on a whim if you happened to be at the mall and begged loud enough, whereas the bigger ones like the seaport were reserved for Christmas.
The names of the sets are absolutely hilarious. “Screaming Patriot”? They sound like the names of unlicensed Halloween costumes. You know the type, where it’s clearly “The Incredible Hulk” but it’s called something like “Angry Green Man”. I’m guessing they were named by some Swedish guy who worked at LEGO in the 1980’s and 1990’s and was given the job because he had a relative in America.
Rebuilding Childhood LEGO Sets
Over the Christmas break my children and I rebuilt some of my childhood LEGO sets. Luckily we had saved both all the pieces and the instructions.
There are also a few miscellaneous planes in here:
