Till you step on one on the way to the head in the middle of the night.

Your right of course. They have kept little boys (and girls) and young men busy for many an hour

I must have had one of the first sets when I was a kid...the blocks were all white and red, and there were a few windows that opened. I built little houses and buildings, all with flat roofs. Who would have ever known?

I don't remember legos as a kid.
I had tinker toys.

Whenever I see a garage sale just getting set up with kid stuff in it, I stop and always purchase the lego's if they are there. My son has a job box full of the things. No instructions on how to build anything but that just makes it that much more fun...

I got legos to replace the lincoln logs my dog ate

jtpro

DOH!!! You do have a point there!! That does bring out some colorful words in the middle of the night!

I had a few like that for my first then slowly progressed into a few kits as they came out with VERY plain people and a green square that was "grass" It is funny that some of those toys lead us to a path of wanting to creat the stuff in real life.

I was ALWAYS jealous of the kids with Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs

HOWEVER if we are "dating" ourselves I was one of the only kids I knew who had an erector set. Can't believe they weren't banned with all the sharp metal pieces and nuts and little bolts and MOTORS.

Step on one of those little bastages in the middle of the night.

I have been looking at some of the kits for my granddaughter for Christmas. I think I will end up skipping the kits and just get her a couple of buckets. Seems like the kits can only be put together a couple of different ways. With just the legos, we'll let her imagination limit he scope of the project.

My son is 22. One time when he was in Iraq he called home and I asked him what he was doing in his spare time.....He was playing star wars legos

As a boy, LEGOs for me consisted of mostly rectangular pieces in primary colors. The boxes came with instructions that showed you how to built all manner of projects with a given set.

Today, my sons get "kits" that build specific models--with pieces custom made for that ONE project. Once that kit gets built and torn apart, those pieces go into the pile--and they move on to another kit. Yes, they still build free-form things with the loose pieces--but the folks at LEGO are great marketers, and it's all about the latest and greatest.

I would conservatively estimate my sons have about $1,500 worth of kits in storage bins, couch cushions, and various nooks and crannies throughout the house.

That vid was pretty good. I haven't got my son any of the new sets which are really just 3D puzzles. He prefers the free form stuff.

Lego tip: Put a sheet or blanket down, then dump the legos. The entire blanket can be pulled out of the way if necessary and you can use the blanket to pour the legos back into the box, bin, whatever, in seconds. Tends to contain the shrapnel too.

Just an FYI....while in the military, every Christmas, my Mom would send a care package. Cookies and toys. Every year a toy. Something fun and time consuming. Everybody else always wished their family had sent them a toy too.

I had Construcs as a kid. Those were cool. Legos were cool too but expensive.. I grew up without a silver spoon. I always loved to mess with them, that is seriously half the fun with having kids, you get to play with em ALL over again


And you haven't seen Lego fun till Modern fills you in on it
