Could I get in trouble for...

If you gave them to the parents, then the safety of the children is the parents responsibility. You'll be fine.

P-Worm

 

I actually think it's a good idea. Just give them to the parents not directly to kids. Bring a small bag of legos for samples so that they'd know what exactly you are offering.

 

Also, I can picture the mom and dad discussing each other if there could be any problem if they receive your legos just like you are worrying about it right now. Man, the society has become so insecure thanks to all those psychos out there.

 

Why would you want to get rid of them!!

 

If they object, I'll gladly try and work something out with you to get them sent to me.

They will likely go in storage for the time being. I drag them out and have a lego building weekend every year or so.

 

I would gladly drive to MN to pick them up if you can't find a home for them

 

Agreed, I wouldn't worry about it.

 

That's awesome, I still have a ton of Legos as well. Most of mine are Lego sets I picked up while I was collecting them. I have a lot of really big sets that are worth quite a pretty penny - my favorite being the "Lego 5988 Pharaoh's Forbidden Ruins".

The great thing about Legos is they never lose their value. Out of all things, Legos have managed to sustain their value and increase over time, whether it is a complete set or random pieces. I buy sets from various sites and find all the missing pieces using misc. sites and local garage sales, then sell them as complete for a profit. I used to do that I mean, until I got screwed over by Paypal, but that is another story.

 

I'm sure a giant box o' legos could fetch a healthy price on ebay, if you're so inclined

 

That's very nice of you. Give them to the parents. I'm sure they will appreciate it.

 

Maybe check to see if there is a middle school in your area who could use them. My son was in the FIRST Lego™ League in middle school, and loved programming the mindstorm.

 

Why do people call it 'Legos'?

It's lego. A box of lego. A lego kit. A piece of lego.

Anyhoo - kudos for trying to find a good home for it - it's an awesome play thing for kids, especially inspiriing for science, technology, maths and engineering.

 

Kudos for passing on your Lego--they're some of the best toys money can buy.

That's very generous of you. Just to be careful, be sure to give it to the parents rather than the kids. Beyond that, you deserve a pat on the back

 

Don't throw away your Legos dude! I didn't, and in a couple of weeks I'm going up to my parents' house while they're away just to use the entire living room for Lego-building.

You're never too old.

 

That's a really nice thing for you to do. I'm sure they'll be thrilled that you even thought of them. And no, you won't get in trouble unless you present the legos as something that they're not (like food) .

Edit: Reading the thread, it seems like you abandoned the idea of giving them to your neighbors. First thought, best thought IMHO.

 

I was thinking this as well. Maybe it's only in blighty where we refer to it as lego?

 

Is "legos" the new term the kids are using these days for "extasy"?

I cant keep up with the lingo.

 

You never played with legos as a child?

I did back in the 60's

 

Yeah Wolf, Ive never heard of Legos.

 

You will make 'em happy. You will be happy. It's a win-wn. Go for it man !

 

It's too close to Halloween all the psychos are busy buying apples and razor blades to bother poisoning children's legos or reupholstering their Chester the molester mobiles (panel vans with darkened teardrop windows) for a road trip to the elementary schools.

That reminds me I have to repackage some ex lax.
