If you have Factory2U in your area, they had a ton of these. But a few of them are closing due to lack of business so if they are a little far away, call and ask them to hold them if they have any in stock.

They also have set 2555 which has the dolphin and a cool dock, swing and two figures. I have four of those in the closet of doom :]

I NEED THIS.... (Reply to this comment)

Now I have to get off epinions and go search for this. I have a cousin Laura who swims with dolphins for a living. This will totally blow her mind. Plus the girlybirds need one. Oh great, now I need two. How many extra do you have in that storage room???

Nice epinion.

Obsession? I was past the point of being obsessed when I drove 45 miles for a toy sale.

Sick I tell you ... just sick!

If they would have done some test marketing to see which sets went over well with the girls - it might have had a chance. Still, the new lines are cute and are more suited to Lego lovers. A lot of the pieces can be used with the Harry potter sets, but not all of them.

the Belville series should've done remarkable. I honestly think that Lego needs to kick some *** and get more of the products like this the store exposure they deserve. Another fine example is the duplo toddlers. They are stinkin' cute, we have them, and not once have I seen them on the shelves. grrrrrrr ****stepping off soap box****

My K-Mart just went out of business. I'll look for the boxes with wheels. They sound like a good idea.

There are some nice flat ones for underbed storage that have wheels on them. Depending on the size of the puzzle, that might be a good option. Check Wal-Mart and Target for the best selection, avoid K-Mart unless they have them on sale.

That sounds like a good plan. Maybe I can adapt it for my puzzle collection. Thanks.

I have a closet just for sets that are unopened - usually ones I get a great deal on and purchase in multiples. I purchased about 10 of the large Rubbermaid clear storage containers that the pieces get stored in at the end of the day in the play room. It makes a lot of noise when they are hunting for a certain piece, but makes clean up a lot easier :]

After stepping on pieces in the middle of the night I finally said "Whatever is left on the floor goes in the trash", of course I'd never throw them out - but I did amass about 200 pieces that have been found in the laundry, on the floor, in pockets, in the bathroom etc.

I am curious. Where do you store all the Lego sets you possess? I have a collection of jig-saw puzzles that are stacked in my "junk room." I must have over 200 boxes of them. Some of the ones on the bottom of the stacks, I haven't laid eyes on for years.

I have given Lego sets as gifts to my niece, but she doesn't have the assortment that you have.

Great review. Thanks.
