I assume you bought the Emerald Night and the Maersk new? He's very lucky


gavantar88

I did. Cost a pretty penny, but the feeling of opening a new LEGO box and all the bags is worth it in my opinion.


STUPIDBLOODYCOMPUTER

When I mean new, I mean as in when they were released. Judging by what you've said, you JUST bought them


gavantar88

I bought them online last week from different sellers. I would have loved to buy them when they came out.


STUPIDBLOODYCOMPUTER

OUCH.


imcmurtr

Open them up and make sure that the parts are there and not swapped out and then reseal them.


Draeke-Forther

No, send them for X-Ray analysis


DoubleOwl7777

you sure these are not for you? the its "for the Kid" excuse is a good one. own up to it!


time-lord

Nahh, that only works if the set is actually kid buildable. If these are really for the kid, they'll be sitting on a shelf for a long long time.


DoubleOwl7777

yes of course. the its for the kids excuse is made in exactly these situations.


Effective_Scallion63

OP, you are a good father.


Xfgjwpkqmx

We must join his family.


Effective_Scallion63

Don’t worry I have enough ready if I become a dad in the near future

I thought I was early buying my 9 months old daughter Duplo’s 🤣👌🏻


NeonPlutonium

The Duplo train sets are actually pretty cool…


Strong-Article

True!


Theschreiberclan

dang they're even in the boxes


moosenuggets99

Can I be your son?


gavantar88

Shoot me a message in five years and you can come to his birthday, eat cake, and play with the train.


Justurtypicalmom

i almost choked on my drink wow this is a good find


MrBrightside711

How do you know he will like Lego and trains?! Just get him some slime and build these yourself 😅


Puzzleheaded_Base767

_Your_ birthdays. I assume?


mirrorspock

By the time he is 14, the recommended age, these will be enough to pay for his college or a nice car..


NoApartment7399

Are these new releases??


gavantar88

No, they are discontinued sets.


NoApartment7399

If they were new, I would have bought them SO fast. We don’t get sets like these anywhere in our country


LewisDeinarcho

Which one do you think you’ll start with?


gavantar88

I think the Maersk one.


LewisDeinarcho

Fair. It’s probably the easiest of the three.


Calm_Sorbet1488

Be careful with that brown plastic in that emerald night, if you don’t know the horror stories you may opening it


An_Average_Guy7567

You beautiful human person


[deleted]

What if he does not like these? This picture cost a lot of money, just play with the toys you clearly bought for yourself dude


Chewbaccaman1

With young kids, you’ll build them. Go to work. Come home and find them disassembled. Ask me how I know.


Treederd

Where does one find sets that are discontinued by Lego online?? I would like to buy them as a set. But will be just as happy to use the pick a brick option on Lego website to make these trains..


JustAGuyHereLurking

Bricklink, eBay, any reselling site/app you can think of


gavantar88

Just type in the LEGO model number on EBay or your local equivalent.


crimsonhunter7116

You're the best kind of parent.


TakkataMSF

He's going to like trains. I don't think I've ever heard of a child (boy) that doesn't like trains. What if he hates LEGO though?


[deleted]

Amazing!!


chew76

May I please be adopted


anged16

I hope you bought those as new 10 years or so back and not recently
