Dave - We're kind of big into Legos in this house. I still have all of mine from when I was a kid, including the first Lego train set (3 C battery power on the blue rails, vintage 1968). What you see in the photo is just the tip of the iceberg. The slat-wall was acquired in a "dumpster dive" when they were remodeling a space at a local strip mall. It was a bit spendy getting the bins for it though, still well worth being organized. I'm sure you know what it's like to look for a specific piece.
I started with a VERY basic Lego set around 1965. Green base with red and white basic bricks. 3 windows and one door. All that stuff is still in our collection today!!
Friday this week we will visit the Lego store AND Lionel store in Concord....they are about a mile apart!!!! Then in Jan I will visit Disneyland and the Lego store there AND ride trains around Disneyland!!! Two great visits coming up.
