Clone Turbo Tank aka: The Bad Luck Lego!

To say that this Lego has been bad luck would be an understatement. While at the cabin Brody put this together in about 6 hours total. He got it all done and was carrying it ever so carefully to show everyone. He tripped over a pillow, went flying through the air, and landed on his tummy holding the Lego in his two little hands. Not a piece broken but phew...close call. He takes it in the kitchen, shows everyone his work and leaves it on the kitchen counter to go and play. All of a sudden we hear a CRASH!! BANG!!. The Lego, all 1141 pieces, rolled off the counter onto the kitchen floor. Pieces went flying. Tears started flowing. It was terrible! Lucky for him, he is a Lego pro and had it put back together in no time. You should have seen us getting this thing home from the cabin!

Lego Mania!


Brody has been busy with all the Legos Santa brought him.  During the Christmas break he put together this little number:
This is the Tantive IV.  It has 1408 pieces and is designed for 14 year olds.  It took him about 8 hours to complete which is crazy considering how many pieces there are in this one.  
 
When we got home from the cabin, he put this together:
It's called the Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser.  It has  789 pieces and is made for 9-14 year olds.  This was a piece of cake for this Lego maniac.  

I really don't know what to do with this boy.  We get him these huge difficult Lego sets thinking it will keep him busy for a few weeks, but noooooo.  He cruises through the directions and has it finished in a day or two.  He is a little obsessed with Legos which I guess is good, but man oh man this is an expensive hobby!!
