When our boys grew up and moved out, we didn’t do as many parents do and sell, donate, or toss out the Legos. Instead, we put them in the attic. The look on our grandsons’ faces when we let them discover that treasure-trove was a sight to behold. All those Legos, from their dad and uncle’s Christmas and birthdays of the past, were packed in Rubbermaid containers and just waiting on the next generation to find and enjoy. Our boys even kept the building direction booklets so they were stored in the containers as well.
If Lego plans to go the ‘woke’ route, so be it. Our grandchildren have sufficient Legos to build whatever they wish. I suspect if I dug deeper in the attic, I might even find one or two more containers of Legos long forgotten.
Well done CFW!! And when your grown children returm to visit, make sure you sprinkle a few legos around their bedroom floors so they can experience the joy of stepping on them barefoot in the middle of the night.
Haha I have the equivalent in Beanie Babies. Pristine not touched plus.

Fantastic move!!!!
Your older LEGO bricks and sets, if in good shape, could be worth a lot. The better the shape, and more boxes and manuals you have, the better.
Same here. All my boys are grown, but I don’t give away a toy without their okay. All the LEGO sets are stored in bins.
