Great LEGO builds! Those plastic blocks are a rite of passage for so many kids and often they stick with you
I recall that when I was little the most common sets where all red blocks and at the most you'd get "fancy" adds-on like the green, shingle-shaped ones to build roofs and the white window frames with the green shutters (now I am dating myself...)
I has been fascinating to see how LEGO have evolved over the decades, it remains one of the best educational toy ever.
My son, now a mechanical engineer student (coincidence?
) was totally crazy for LEGOs. I have very fond memories of the countless hours we spent together building and then playing with his sets, including A LOT of the Star Wars themed ones.
He still has ALL of them and they ain't going anywhere. He has something like 50 or so Star Wars mini figures, most of them the famous Clones. I remember when we sat down and gave each one of them a name. We still have the piece of paper on which he annotated all of them. With LEGO you can also build sweet memories...
He recently got a Lamborghini Countach set, it doesn't get any better, LEGO + iconic car!
