The boys in our family had some Lego, but the real LEGO SET owner (note the all caps) was Mindy. She had a a big Lego Castle set. It had predominantly yellow pieces, with special pieces that could make the castle towers and castle walls, accessories to dress up the Lego men so they can turn into knights (complete with helmet, armor and lance), not to mention pieces that made horses for the knights to ride (in black and white, of course). It was a gift from her godfather, who was a good friend of Father.
When GI was big enough for Lego, I got him a small set which had the basic pieces in a variety of primary colours. He got various sets for his birthday or Christmas until he "graduated" into Bionicles.
We did spend a lot of time playing with Lego when they were young because a lot can be done even with a few pieces.
We brought the Lego set with us when we migrated, but it remained in storage (as it didn't stand a chance against Call of Duty and League of Legends). I decided to pass on the set to my nephew so that the Lego story would not end.
And this is how it began ...
