rich951 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Originally posted by nick2 Lego was great, it's still good now, but you don't get sets where you can make anything, you make a car (or whatever) and thats it, you used to get a little booklet with ideas in it. This is my major gripe with Lego these days - it's degenerated into just a few moulded plastic bits you stick together, and then can't do much else with! (not exactly encouraging creativity) Not that I've really looked, but can you still buy the sets of extra blocks? - especially useful with the Technics sets I had as a nipper, when you needed extra gears etc! In fact, can you still use the big sets to build more than one toy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'm 35 and a few months back I was looking on eBay for Lego Police and Fire Station sets, they were going for £60 and above though, and my Parents would shoot first and ask questions later if I spent that on Lego sets at my age.
