I went away to summer camp and my mom took it upon herself to sort out all my Lego pieces by color. I was impressed but they only lasted about two weeks of trying to keep them sorted. I kinda wish Lego would just offer big boxes of random lego pieces for free building. They have small boxes and you can go to a Lego store and purchase individual pieces, but's such a pain.

My son used to play with them all of the time when he was little. Being that he is a big Star Wars fan, I am thinking about getting him the Millenium Falcon Lego set but man they are wanting crazy money for those. | |||

What is this "kit" you speak of? I had a huge bucket of random Legos and you use your imagination to build what you want. !~God Bless the U.S. Military~!

There are 'Lego Compatible' bulk bags on Amazon. | |||

Yeah but that scares me in terms of quality. Are the bulk Amazon knock offs good? My grandson might enjoy it | |||

Okay, what if we rented a bounce house, threw in a few thousand legos and tossed the kids in? Would that be wrong? You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

This is exactly what I did as a kid. Sometimes I never even built the kit; it just got dumped into the big chest of LEGO parts. I built everything custom and just grabbed from what I had. They didn’t have the LEGO people back then like they do today so I built my own. It was two single blocks stacked on each other with a round LEGO as the head. When it came to a war, I twisted the body to identify who was dead. Total imagination. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||

I found that one funny. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

You do not duel with the left-brain lego curmudgeon. You shun them and giggle at the fact that they would probably employ super-glue to keep their precious sets from being strewn about, mingling amongst other heathen sets. “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L.

My kid enjoyed playing with Legos. My cats enjoyed them equally. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Got the kit that was supposed to be the "carnival in the park" set or something. Made a scale replica of the UH-1B Huey gunship from Apocalypse Now instead. Perfect except it was red and yellow instead of green and black. Mom was pissed I didn't make what was on the box. Dad was pissed I let mom know that he'd let me watch Apocalypse Now. Worst Christmas ever.  | |||

We usually keep kits separate for a few weeks, but inevitably they get assimilated with the rest. | |||

There are thousands of them and many are pretty slick and quite costly. What you describe is the Free Building I addressed in my follow up post.
Ohh, HELL NO!!!!! Lego compatible is even more blasphemous than mixing a set into the Free Build parts!!!! Plenty of good clean 100% all LEGO bulk sales on ebay. No LEGO compatible please!!!

I haven't looked at Legos in a couple decades. I cant imagine only being able to build something in particular and that's it. Just get an actual model to build at least that way it looks cool when it's done. !~God Bless the U.S. Military~!
