Hi, folks, Get ready for a rambling post. But there is a point. As some of you know, I'm a recently-revived LEGO enthusiast, who has arrived at this happy state as a consequence of having a 3 1/2 year-old son. Thanks, Spencer! I was quick to buy the (...)

John, I feel you are in err a bit on the idea of age recommendations for toys. It seems as though I see this happen with everyone. "It says 5-7 on the box. Our child is almost 4, but he is really bright." The agre recommendations are for safety, not (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

Hi Mike, John-- I miss the Space Datsville conversation, you know. ;) I'd build a Mars Polar Lander, but I'm afraid I'd just lose it. At least I know how many newtons are in a pound of thrust (different probe, but still...). (...) In fairness to (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Well, I plan to revive Datsville in space at some point! I'm distracted at the moment, because I'm actually working on a model, the first in decades! B^) (...) I think that, once the kid is beyond the mouthing stage, there is no significant (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

I was first introduced to Lego when I was four (it was a small police car), and was into the regular, non-juniorized System Lego from then on. Even as a 4-year-old, Duplo was too big, clunky, and useless for making the things that my imagination (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
