Had a ball with them as a kid, my boys had plenty too. Built the Death Star with my step son not to long ago

We’re a Lego family also. Funny potty training story with my youngest (now 13). We tried EVERYTHING to potty train him. Techniques that worked with my older 2 did nothing for him. No amount of bribery worked. Until we tried Legos, which worked like a charm. Cost is a couple hundred, but it was worth it to get him out of diapers. I can’t even begin to count how many sets we have accumulated over the years. At first, we’d buy the plastic shoe containers from Walmart to keep the sets in. That got too difficult to keep up so now they are kept in large Rubbermaid containers (3 or 4 I think). One of these days, we’ll all sit down and sort and rebuild the kits.

Where do you find PDFs of the directions for the kits?

I've been building Panlos and Xingbao tanks mainly. I've got like 5 of those built, with another 5 still in boxes/bags.

I have the Cobi Missouri but I'm saving that one for when I retire. Then I'll decide if I want to do additional ships. The Cobi WW2 tanks look interesting.

Then there is the BrickVault Iowa to consider. $60 for plans/parts list.

Customer Service section of the Lego Website.

Also on the page for the kit there is a tan for building instructions.

We just started getting into them a little over a year ago. I don’t know how far back the pdfs are available.

That is so awesome!

You'll build memories as well as building sets.

I built a few tanks and airplanes with my nephew. Then a few more planes. Then a few more tanks.

It was time for 'war' and a lot of them blew up or crashed. Later I put together a half-track pulling a howitzer.

The next day we ran out of airplanes.

Decided to keep some of them as I spent days putting them together and getting them to work.
