When I was a kid, there were no Lego kits, just lots of bricks. Totally miscellaneous bricks. We had a ton of them, and I spent countless happy hours creating all sorts of things from them. My ds grew up in a world of Lego kits. The bigger the kit the better. He put together the kits (didn't always actually need the instructions but if he got stuck, he used the instructions. Everything was exact. Never once built a single Lego creation outside the box of what was defined by the kit.
We are both very creative people, just in our own different ways
