A child will play 'war' using sticks as guns
even if LEGO made only standard bricks, children would make weapons out of
them.
children do that sort of thing, its in there nature. I did it many of you
did it, its part of creative play. It dosen't mean the child isn't going to
turn out to be a well balanced individual. surely the most concerning thing
about this is that a toy like LEGO is limiting creative play with storylines
and characterisation. I don't think LEGO ever said much about peaceful play,
just a desire not to produce contempory war models
btw .. I actually have the set in question, but I only bought it for the
great baseplate. as a set its naff
