(...) Hmm. From my experience, they don't HAVE to adapt the kids to lego. I baby-sit two 5 y/o twins every Friday afternoon, so I get to see what other kids think about lego. These kids have both "dad's old lego" (1) and new sets (among others: Sith (...) (25 years ago, 19-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Yes, *some* kids are that way. When writing the post, I was thinking of my friends, but perhaps they aren't so good to compare with, they are all over 14, and that's not really a "lego" age. I agree that lego is not giving them the tools they (...) (25 years ago, 19-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) You're right! I think that the reason that all the sets are so juniorized, is because kids don't have the patience to sit down and build something. Or, they are not creative enough to fit 5 bricks together into one larger. TLC says that lego (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
