Lego - Do you still remember how to play it?

As a kid I spent years in Europe, and there Lego, as being originally Danish, was quite common and fairly cheap. So from thr early 1970'2 on I played a lot with it. By now, things have evolved up to Lego Technik and the Lego Mindstorm for making computer-controlled robots. As for today's kids, yes the videogames stole a lot of market but the creative toys are on their comeback, and Lego is still very popular. There are user communities everywhere, and the parent's enthusiasm brought over to the kids. My 9-year old daughter still plays with Lego kits, as well as new ones as the ones I still kept from 35 years ago.

I was not able to play any lego toys when I was a kid. My parents could not afford such toy considering that it was quite expensive with respect to our status. Now that I have a child of my own, I made sure that he can have what I did not have. So I bought him a lego set. I could see that he really love it and I too played along with him.

I remember playing with Legos when I was a child. And it is amazing that they are still around! And they are pretty well known. Granted, they changed their style somewhat but, generally they are the same. The only thing about Legos that I don't like now is when I have to pick them up after my daughter has been playing with them. They are so small and there are so many I never seem to get them all. After I look around like crazy and believe that I have found them all, I close up the container and put it away. Then I step on another one! That's a little frustrating!haha. But overall, they are a good toy!
