Back it up regularly. It's going to die, quickly. It's going to get a lego shut in it, or stepped on, or dropped, or used as a baseball bat, and everything they have on it is going to be lost. If there's any data that they will miss, back it up. Think well about what happens after it gets broken. Do you get them another? Every time they break it? Or do you let them suffer the pain of no longer having it? For how long? There are consequences of any decision you make here, consequences that may shape them for a longer than you might expect. No way of shaping them is free from downsides, so think well about how you're going to handle this.

Thanks. Yes, I’ll keep that in mind. I might be jumping the timeline a bit here, and he is probably too young to even understand the value of what he is given. I think I will wait a little longer and then give him his first to get his hands dirty in this world. I did partially deal with broken things and how he deals with his emotions. For the most part, I don’t rush to replace broken toys or things and let him process sadness, disappointment and yearning to a reasonable degree. But, I also show him how to fix things instead of looking to either find anew or chase after the next shiny. Perhaps I think more about these for his emotional development him than he does :-)
