To celebrate Independence Day, my wife and I celebrated our freedom by buying classic American toys...
Yeah, I know, it's crap. Lego is Danish. And I don't think they did anything to help the U.S. gain their freedom from England. But still, being able to have a day off and the chance to relax, thanks to the sacrifice of colonial revolutionaries more than 200 years ago and thousands more since then... I appreciate it, thank you very much. Keep up the good work, servicepeople.
The Lego Haul from July 4th, 2017
Now, back to the Lego's. I got a 31065 Park Street Townhouse and 6 71018 Series 17 minifigures.

I've got a few options with the Park Street Townhouse. I could put it next to the Apple Tree House and Family House, but it's a bit too upscale for a suburban-ish neighborhood. I could closer to the city center, but I don't know if I have a place for it over there. I know I have space on the south side, I think... I'd have to look at my city layout drawing to be sure.

We could have gotten more 71018 Series 17 minifigures, but I lost patience. I didn't want to stand near the bin for another half hour or so to find the last five. It's also a good idea to leave the table while you're up and cash in. My wife and I were able to confirm these folks, so we just need an Elf Maiden, a Veterinarian, a Rocket Boy, a Butterfly Girl, and Dance Instructor. We should be able to get them during our next visit.
