More manual labor!

 Manual labor! Part 2

I found more manuals to sort and pitch as they  can all be found online.  Its funny to me how the internet brings out this urge to show others what u have and even if you don't start out with the intent to brag, it still could look like it or deep down inside become the primary reason to share pics. The other thing the internet does is mKe you think someone would pay all this money for whT you have when in reality, its a kids toy or a kids instruction book for a toy, it's only worth S much to you.   And if I want to throw these manuals out because I don't have room, why would someone want to clutter their space with the  same stuff.   So although it could appear to be bragging, I only post the pics because I love looking at the pics and i aM amazed at the deals i got on most sets!!  Here was the latest pics

So I post the pics and I think what did I do with the legos I had, what did I have different than what others have done?  People cod find pics like these on google images all day..  And the reality is no one could care that I have these sets and I didn't add anything special that others haven't posted before.

So I guess the point I'm trying to make is that unless what you have is special or different, whether its your traits or unique mocs or your work in life, unless it's darn interesting, Noone cares, they're busy with their own things.  So its ok to be proud of your collection or even brag with moderation. But so important to try to add your contributions to enhance everyone's experience.

The sets that made me give up only buying 1 and going for multiples instead

 I think the tipping point for me being out of control buying legos came with micro wheel creator set. 

I loved the yellow micro wheels set.  The amount of tires, multiple pieces in 1 color and idea book was fantastic.  Imstill worry im on video looking suspicious as I had the longest internal debate about should I or should I not buy all 10 sets left on the shelf.

The star wars minis sets were neat too and I bought multiples

I love the gray and yellow pieces, they can be in the yellow castle or classic space theme!  I really enjoyed the at st models due to the cool amount of small and gray detailed pieces.

In my days, we didnt have....

Ok, I went through lego manuals and ads tonight which I need to pitch, but can't.  I think they'll be worth a fortune or extremely rare, like our beanie babies!

 But what became so apparent and made me feel old is that even catalogs from the year I got married that there's no mention of the internet.   Where was the www.  It wasn't there.

And another thing I found in the pages was one thing that gave such memories...it was the last page of catalogs 

The accessories pages that had hard to find pieces that you could CALL OR MAIL away to get...no net.

I only ordered from that service 1 time to get universal joints so I could pretend to know how to use to make a rack and pinion steering unit!

What a difference the internet made.

Here's correspondence I found with lego in 80s by mail

I felt ike Ralphie in the Christmas story movie when he got correspondence from ovaltene...I didn't have rights and privileges but I was first class!!
