    I would have loved the kits when I was a kid as I had no idea where to start (I'm very creative now I think)and always built the same few things, although admittedly I was always at someone else's house so had limited time. Ha just realised I never owned lego as a kid, poor me!

    I have bought a few kits for DD - she likes structure plus I do think being able to follow instructions is a skill that all kids need. Afterwards she uses them for free play. I think it's all good, different types of play build different skills.

    I'll admit to also buying the girls kits because DD can't resist the prettiness of it all. She's saving for a chima kit too....

    We had some kits when we where kids although Lego had such a high tax coming into NZ no-one had a lot. I would have liked to build them and keep them but my dad made it a rule your could only build a kit and keep it for a week, after that it had to be broken up and mixed with the family stuff to be shared. We do a mix here but the only thing that has been kept intact for a while was the Lego castle and I was sorry to see that broken up.

    That would explain why I never had them, way too expensive, they still are!
