Not all but some. I've seen some parents think that their kid is just going to
be crushed if they can't make the set on the box especially when the age range
says that they can't. So they nudge their kid toward another set, never
thinking that all this wierd Lego stuff interlocks with pieces in other sets,
and that the kid can build whatever he wants (and chances are it's going to be
better than the set in the box!)

off all the tiny parts and left the rest (funny, how it didn't make much of a
difference) and she had a ball. She still has her own box of Lego (but enjoys
playing with Daddy's collection much more).
