All I can say is, we might need to be careful of giving small girl-children [legos](http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2080325.html?menu=).  
Yikes!

One thing about the Bionicles sets- the instructions are fantastic! I wish those guys wrote assembly instructions for everything, like furniture and stuff!

Seriously, the instructions are the easiest to follow that I have ever seen.

My mom has her PhD in child development, and she told me the other day that the absolute best thing you can do for young children is have toys with lots of small pieces to manipulate & put together in various ways, so this set sounds terrific for a boy or a girl! 🙂

Careful there. If you get her dolls with removable/interchangeable parts, she’s likely to cast a very harsh eye on her new baby brother, and attempt to remove things.

:eek:

I’m guessing it’s when they started selling ‘kits’ to make **one thing** rather than the boxes of generic blocks that allowed kids to make whatever the hell they liked outta the rotten little bastards.

Appealing to the parents of course, not the kids. :rolleyes:

Yep … when I was a kid my cousin had fifty million Legos, and I got to play with 'em maybe once or twice a year. I vowed then when I had kids, they’d have a hundred million Legos, so I could play with them whenever I wanted to. Then we had kids … the Legos just sucked. Couldn’t make big houses with doors and windows and all that stuff, just pirate ships and space stations and crap like that. Still, the kids wanted 'em. I didn’t even want to play with them. So I bought a Lionel train set instead.
