In the garage, and a strict rule: If you see your presents, they go back. Actually, they were old enough that after the first few years they did see them and put dibs on this or that set. :D I had 3 boys to give them to.
What was the shipping on the 70 lbs?
*although I am done buying Legos! Some of these sets were discontinued themes, which made them harder to find.
I think that the shipping was in the neighbourhood of $50. Some of my colleagues at work were tempted to “chip in” for the auction including the shipping.
