Wow, I owned that exact set as a kid.
Stings a bit knowing I could have sold it for a down payment on a house 30 years later.
To be fair this is a random listing not an actual sale. Just looked it up and there are far cheaper listings
The real price seems to be like 600
Lego was never cheap. I had to have some dental done as a child and I was freaking the fuck out about getting needles in my gum as a 5 year old and I was inconsolable and my mom said that ok if I took the needles I could have anything in the toy store, and I said OH YEAH then I want the biggest most fancy LEGO set and she gave a sort of Marge Simpson "hhhrrrmmm" and agreed, and I took the needles, and we went and I picked out the biggest set I wanted, and as an adult that fucking pains me because we were by no means rich and my parents were struggling and it kind of hurts my heart that I put that financial burden on them.
It's weird, but their uncompromisingly selfless acts of love are some of the things that hurt the most now that they are gone. Because you just didn't understand what it meant when you were a child.
Same. Might have to call my Dad. He probably still has all my old Lego in a big plastic treasure chest. If he still has the boxes he might have some actual treasure.
