1994, I was a tween (although at the time we were just called kids) in what ended up being my peak years as a non-AFOL. 8880-1 was released and I wanted it bad. Alas, pesky things like finances stood in my way. LEGO faded from interest for more than two decades until I bought a mixed lot of LEGO at a garage sale, for my new-born son. Obviously he was too young but I saw the LEGO and all that excitement from my youth came flooding back, the excitement that soon I’d be able to share LEGO with my children.
