Probably around $10,000 worth the Legos. When my so was little we figured $.10 a Lego was a good deal and I'm sure they've gone up since then.

That's really neat. My son has a bucket of Legos that consists of 500 pieces. I paid 8.99 for it at Walmart. If they were 10 cents a piece it would have cost $50 for the bucket of Legos.

I tried to find the price, only found a nother picture for cat lovers.

That is really cool. Just to think if they are 10 cents a piece, my sweeper sucked up a fortune...lol...I use to tell the boys, clean them up or I suck them up...I told them 3 times then I got the sweeper...mean I know, but those things kill your feet especially since you only step on them in the middle of the night when you are bare footed...lol.
