There was a package on the doorstep addressed to my wife yesterday. I mentioned it to her and asked her what she got. She said that she couldn’t remember but that I could open it. This is a common occurrence in our house and I stopped opening packages because it’s normally baby stuff, or clothes/shoes that she’s ordered. However this package was an odd size so I went for it. Annnnndddddd!

She really is the best. She supports/encourages our 4/1 vehicle ratio, and still buys me toys “just because” even with the new baby! If you asked me when I was 6 if I would still play with Legos at 33 I would have said “hell yea MFer!” I can’t wait to add it to the fleet. I need to build some shelves.

That’s awesome!!

And I know the feeling about all the packages showing up at the door. My wife is constantly ordering stuff from Amazon, Target, etc and 99% of it is for our 2 year old.

He lets me play with his trains and cars sometimes though, at least.

I’m pumped for when she is “toy aged” I kept the manuals for all of these in- case she decides to make custom creations out of them.

Aw man the 430 challenge set was epic. I still have yet to decide on the Aston or not

Yea! I think I still have the red pieces for the 430.

I also built the 430 in yellow, and I do still have the red pieces somewhere. I think you’d have to break a sticker to swap it out, though, and I’m not sure where the instructions are any more.

I built a bare bones chassis when I still had them together just so I could look at both. I'll be interested to see your opinion of the DB5 because I can't decide how badly I want it not being a james bond fan.
