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.

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.

How cool is that. I remember the blocks and never got any of the kits. I prefer building things with mecanno.

I used to have a big old metal box of Meccano too. They must be worth a small fortune now. I recon mine was just given to a neighbour.
!BEER

Yeah no idea what happened to mine either.

Nice hobby from young, passing it along to your children who in turn sharing shows a passion through the family.

Lego have always been popular, yet slightly expensive for many families.

The moments of concentration and creativity that are experienced by putting together figures with these games are very valuable. I have a preference for puzzles with many pieces. I haven't seen any more of them, but when one appears, I won't hesitate to buy it.

Best regards.

🤣😂😂 so, toys and Legos can be a form of weakness. Maybe eating some set of snacks could also be a weakness, I should examine myself
