I grew up with Lego. I love Lego -- the older stuff anyway; the newer bricks are too specialised -- and what's amazing about Lego is that it is almost impossible to destroy a Lego brick. I still have all my old Lego and all of my dads' Lego from when he was a kid. They do get a bit grimey and dirty after a while -- thankfully they're easy to clean in sudsy water and they'll look good as new, even 40 years later.
Buy it once and give it to your kids' kids one day.
- rmk2 13y agoThey have reverted some of their more overt specialisation in more recent years and brought back some of the more "classical" elements, like the translucent "lights" etc., alongside new bricks that can be used in many different ways (and some of which I wish I could have had when I was a child). There was a period where everything was pre-made, pre-printed and almost monolithic, with single-purpose blocks, but most of that seems to be gone. Additionally, their Creator sets actively encourage multi-purpose bricks since the box itself already gives you 3 different models you can build out of the contained bricks, plus the endless possibilities of your inventions.
