I love LEGO and it is so expensive. I keep an eye out when things go on clearance because then I can pick up large sets for very cheap money. I may not be into the theme but for the bricks it is totally worth it. I found both the Ultra Agents set and the NEXO Knkights set for a 50% markdown. These were large sets with plenty of pieces and were good to build. They actually made some fun vehicles with playable features.
Jango Fett’s Slave 1 was not a clearance find. I had bought that set years ago. The kids and I built it yesterday.
For our first day of 2018 I broke into my LEGO stash of Star Wars sets that I have been holding on to since they were first released years ago. Today I pulled out Jango Fett’s Slave 1. I didn’t do enough digging in the basement to find the Boba Fett one that I have. That should be the next build to see how different they are. The build is not as secure as I would have liked it to be. It feels like it is going to fall apart, but it looks cool.
In the afternoon I brought the kids over to visit with my parents and Shelby and the kids. The kids enjoyed playing together, and there were a couple of moments but ultimately it was all good. We had a nice visit.
We came home and had appetizer dinner and watched Smurfs: The Lost Village and finished building Slave 1. It was a good start to the year.
