Lego My Bionicles!

It was a perfect place to start if you ask me, in the gorgeous North Vancouver bedroom community of Deep Cove on a beautiful sunny day we pulled together the first trade thanks to Sonya and her daughter Aurora.

Here's a video clip of Trading Mabel on Sunday July 20th,
Trade #1 is done:





For Mabel we received 14 Children's books in good condition.

Lego Easy Reader books by Scholastic:

Race for Survival

Rocket Rescue

Trouble at the Bridge


Bionicle Books by Scholastic:

Collector’s Sticker Book
(some stickers are already in place in the book, a few are still to be used)

Mask of Light

Adventures #1,2,3,4

Chronicles #1,2,3,4

The Official Guide To Bionicle



What's your trade offer? Do let us know at: ModelToMansion(@)yahoo.ca

As we both had kids I thought a double the fun trade was in order and the kids had their own trade on the side. More on that and other details in this adventure from Mabel to a mansion for orphans are on the horizon...

Getting fully caught up in the spirit of trading up I suggested it might double the fun to add a Children's side trade and they went for it. Aurora offered my daughter Shifra (my son hasn't gotten into the spirit of trading yet) "a glow in the dark lizard (five inches long) and a mini t-Rex dinosaur, a farm cow and farm donkey (about 4 inches long and 3 inches high)"

Sonya sent this picture of Aurora's trade offer:

Sonya gave Shifra the option of keeping what she wanted and choosing what to trade up. Together Shifra and I decided to offer Lumina the 5 inch cool glow in the dark lizard on the Children's Side Trade #2 block, along with another time sensitive surprise.
The farm animals are now in Shifra's amazing, talking animal show and I believe the mini T-Rex has joined the others in David's rainbow herd of mini dinosaurs. (Never did see that bag of chips though...)

What did Aurora receive for her trade?
