Hi
Ok I am a lego fan but I have a 6 years old boy that loves star wars.
After a loong time of pressing request I bought him last Xmas a Hasbro X-wing
that in Italy has more or less the same price of my lego X-wing (that is true
is much smaller)
He played two hours with the Hasbro X-wing and then he took my X-wing and
started to play with it, "modifying" it for all the missions needs.
After six month he is still playing with "my" lego x-wing and the Hasbro X.wing
lies forgotten somewhere in my house.
Which had the better price to play-time ratio?
Marco
