There's an app for your phone called Brickit. You spread your Lego out flat, scan it with your phone's camera, and it will come back with descriptions of how to build all kinds of things with what you have. It's fun. And I'm an adult.

Our son grew up and we passed the Lego to another small kid :)

How is it possible to move to Canada with no jobs and little money?
Alexei Arntzen 4 years ago
Probably the same way you move to any country with no job and little money. Maybe as a refugee, or to attend school, or moving to be closer to family, etc.

I've also read that some carry fish or other items and this denotes the purpose of the journey - i.e. fishing etc. This one carries a head. The Solomon Islanders at one time were headhunters.

Final score:

Mad McQueen (Submission author) 4 years ago
The top lifts up an has a storage tray for items. A lamp that plugs in. I took the cord off as it was dry rotted. A small draw at the bottom. Solid cedar with veneer tiger maple book matched panels and inlays. Missing a few pcs but it cost me $60 at a garage sale 2004. I'll keep it. Any idea what it's worth? I can't find it on any sites.
