I got one of those videos today as well...but...
I've left that for my kids to determine this afternoon. I'm sure they'll
want to tear into it as soon as they get home from school. I've already
warned my wife against purchases involving our money and Jack Stone sets.
If the kids want to use their allowances, so be it. Not my dollar, thank you!

Point 1) Got the free Jack Stone video in the mail yesterday. (Yes, we
suffered through it once...and only once...ever...)
Point 2) Watched the Tribute to Heroes telethon tonight.
Point 3) My wife holds up the video box cover next to the TV while Tom
Cruise is doing an intro for a song.
Final point) Tom Cruise IS Jack Stone...scarry, huh?
Hollywood is so bereft of ideas for new movies (Case-in-point: Do we REALLY
need an A-Team movie? I think not...)...it won't be very long before we have
Jack Stone:The Movie...starring (of course) Tom Cruise...directed by John
Woo...DON'T LAUGH! It'll happen...

Well... a week or two later and this movie is a staple in the house. To
give a little perspective, I have 3 boys who just turned 5 a couple of weeks
ago and another boy who turns 3 this weekend. This is perfect for their age
range and as I said below, it grows on you.
As far as the sets go...
Don't think of them as Lego. Think of them as small action figures and
their vehicles. The price is a little high for that sort of thing, but not
by too much. They have infinitely greater construction potential than most
such toys. Think of them as a non-Lego toy that happens to be made by Lego
and interfaces with Lego to some degree.
One significant advantage over traditional Lego is that they don't explode
when dropped. Don't underestimate that. It can be frustrating to a small
child when his creation falls into a million pieces (trust me- I just gave
them the Guarded Inn and I've never seen a Lego set less structurally
sound). Without sufficient encouragement, the child won't bother again.
Again, I won't be buying Jack Stone unless it's to get some specific pieces
(yes, I actually want one of those windshields and maybe the semitrailer!)
But I'm not buying them for my kids. I'd rather buy them real sets and
spend time with them to encourage more significant building.
