Memoir Monday #41 (12/16-12/22) - What is your biggest weakness?

My biggest weakness could be Legos. I probably have a few other weakness's as well but Legos is the first thing that springs to mind. Ever since I got my first set I have just wanted more.

I think my first Legos would have just been a box full of random blocks, not that we were super poor but I have been getting around a while and it was just more common than the themed sets and considered more like a creative and learning toy.

As soon as my my son was born I was getting more Lego for him and this mates. It got to the point where I even had a wholesales supplier and I used to buy 4 of one set, sell 3 on ebay and keep the 4th one for ourselves with the profit.

I was pretty disappointed when the the big toy chains started discounting heavily. Ebay and paypal increased there fees and the wholesaler closed my account because I did not buy enough. For a while it was a nice little side hustle.

It was a bit sad when we sold a lot of them so he could buy his first car but it felt like a natural progression, Though I did keep a few.

We both ready liked star wars

Especially the mini figures

Nowadays there are still a few Lego sets unbuilt in the back bedroom for a rainy day. I still can not walk past any toy section of a shop with checking them out.

I had a nice nostalgic smile when my son now all grown up started buying some Harry Potter Legos for his daughter.
