- haasted 8y agoAnd my kids are now playing with the sets I played with 35 years ago. It’s incredibly durable.
- lostlogin 8y agoWe have got a child using her grandfathers Lego. The early wheels have rubber that doesn’t seem to last that well, but other than that, it’s excellent.

- the_af 8y agoYes! When I was a kid, I had that "medieval" Lego set with knights and castles. My nephews still play with this set. It's a bit sad that it's long been discontinued. I liked the simplicity of it all: just knights, horses, castles, etc. It wasn't tied to a franchise. I think it was "Lion" knights vs "Horse" knights or something like that (I found it on a database once many years ago). Also sad: many of my Lego pieces have bite marks. I wish I could travel back in time and tell my younger self one thing or two about taking care of cool toys...
- gknoy 8y ago30 years ago, it was legitimately hard to separate some pieces, and so teeth were often the way to get leverage. I share your sadness at the bite marks in my old legos, and was dismayed even at the time that they happened. Now they have excellent orange lever pieces that work even better, and are included in nearly every Large set. (I wish I had them as a kid.) . I also discovered that the pointed end of a cheap spudger also works, but not as well.
