I took my boy down to Toys R Us on Saturday for some free Legos. Did you know you can get free Legos at TRU? They have building events to promote different things throughout the year and give kids a small set to build for free! Here was the flyer for Saturday's event:
It was pretty crowded when we went. I asked the guys putting the bags together if they thought it would be busy all day or if we should head back over after we do a little shopping and give it time to clear out. They were concerned that they would run out of supplies so they just handed us our bag and said enjoy!
I actually preferred it that way. My son is only 2, so we take a little longer than most to build together.
This is what we got:
And this is the final product:
I thought it was pretty cute, and my son enjoys building these small sets with me. He's way too young to do them on his own, and he definitely doesn't have the patience or attention span to do any larger sets right now.
I'm not sure how much it looks like the ghost ship it was designed after...
but eh, how much detail can you expect out of just 42 pieces? My son kept calling it a rocket ship, and that sounds just fine to me.
Full disclosure: I had no idea what a "ghost ship" was (I'm not a huge Star Wars fan), so I totally had to google that just now.
Ultimately, we had a really good time. And who can say no to new bricks to add to our small (but ever-growing) collection? I think there's another event next Saturday- a bat signal!
