Recommendations for a small lego stationary set for 6 and 4 yo?
I don't want to spend more than $10 each. Online or store purchase?
They're both boys. One loves lego Star Wars.

Check big w. Not sure they have sets but you can make your own mix to fit your budget
Perfect! Thanks for the speedy response.
Has anyone seen the Lego range by Moleskin notebooks? Maybe a good gift for the adult lego addict?
i'd seen them - and deliberately walked away so i wasn't tempted to buy lol
I'm on a local FB group where people can give stuff away for free. Mostly it's old stuff but this woman was giving away all her Lego! I actually only got some of it cos she gave away Lego to lots of different people. She must have had TONS of it!! I can't believe she didn't sell it. She could have made lots of money!! I guess this way she made lots of people happy. :D:
My DH told his mum not to give DD the Lego she bought her for Xmas. :(. She had the pink Lego box to give her. So now she's getting DD something else. Well I'll still buy some items now and then but will avoid buying any bulk items. I'm sure DH won't mind when he sees how much I love it - I mean how much DD loves it. ;)
I don't get why people say no more to something kids are clearly enjoying when it's educational as well. Fair enough for some things because there are limits to how they can be used (Barbie. Dora dolls, soft toys). Lego grows with them. And it's exxy, so if someone else is buying, even better!
I'm the same with books. The only reason I say to people not to rush out and buy books is because we have lots of them. If they ask if she has certain types and she doesn't, go for it!
Because they are not lego enthusiasts ;)
The girls are getting an animals set off DD1's teacher, they already have it but I will print the alternate build & they can have 1 each :p
Did our first alternate builds yesterday with the animals sets.
Did the rabbit alternate on its own then the turtle, cat & squirrel one together :)
I think if I sort out storing our Lego that might help DH too. I'm just finding it hard to get out and look at storage options when DD2 is still only 3 months and I've had heaps of bdays and Xmas to shop for. Hopefully in the New Year I can finally sort out storage and then he might not mind so much that we have lots and I want more - I mean DD1 wants more. ;)
I wrapped some Xmas presents today for the girls and I'd forgotten that I'd bought DD1 a Lego game! That was an exciting find. Lol
Zarava - What's alternate builds? Do you mean that the girls take turns adding pieces?
Moi - on the lego friends website they have instructions you can print for an alternate build for the animals sets.
It also has instructions for a build that uses all 3 animals in each series into one build (hope that makes sense).
BG is there one that combines all 3 series into 1 set???
Yup. There is a combination build for each series:
Moi, if you go to Lego friends website and choose to look at the animals (I think you have to choose products first, then there is a pic of a turtle at top of screen), you can choose each animal for info about them. They each have a video, and just be lien the video is instructions for building them. Generally instruction 1 is an alternative set up for the animal in question. Instruction 2 is a build that includes all three animals in that series
Picked up layby with Lego yesterday. Glad I decided to wrap early to hide from dd. One box is smashed and ripped. No way would Santa deliver that. No way would mummy for that matter. Layby was in Granmas name so granma will be on the ear path tomorrow! Glad I opened it early cis one of the things I thought was in it wasn't. So now to see if budget will stretch to include it (cos of course it's the one dd had been asking for every time we go shopping for months!)
Do other Lego products have alternate builds?
There are some things in the creator series that you can look at. Or sites like rebrickable allow you to input your sets and see what alternatives Lego lovers have come up with and uploaded. There are also instructions under bricks and more for some of the sets there. And then some generic ones that dd makes from her random pieces. We have printed heaps of them out.
Hanging out to see BG on Friday, but have to stash the lego she has for us :p
C-mas morning is going to be great but we are heading to DP's family early this year so means probably no lego building x-mas morning... Unless it's a mini set!
Girls are getting lego from a friend today ;) 2 sets we don't have... 1 will go with the coast guard set :p YAY!
Your excitement is so cute, ZF!
Very excited for DS, it's his birthday tomorrow and he is getting:
High speed chase
Cargo truck with forklift
Cargo plane
Flat bed truck
Fuel tanker
All lego city of course, he's only really into the city stuff and last year's creator trucks and 4wd ute.
For xmas santa is bringing him the coast guard patrol boat and the cost guard helicopter. Exciting!
Girls got LEGO hair clips made by 1 friend then another got them a police chopper AND coast guard 4wd & rescue Raft! Eeeekkkkk
