I agree. On the other hand, 3D printing itself could displace LEGO as a creativity outlet for kids. But there's something about physically snapping blocks together and experimenting that couldn't be replaced by CAD software.
- sliverstorm 14y ago3D design and assembling LEGOs are different levels of learning/play. Perhaps we could compare it to oil paints vs. watercolors. A very young child is perfectly capable of smearing oil paint on a canvas, but watercolors are a better starting point. Not to mention I found the inherently limited nature of LEGOs was a great exercise in working within a set of constraints & thinking "outside the box" to beat them.
