Yeah, when I checked out the 1965 catalogue on BenW's suggestion I saw the
"Town Layout" kit with the road plates and instructions for building the
structures IIRC. Oh to have been around in those "glory years" (without trying
to sound ageist).
I think Shiri's comment about kids attention span is spot on, and it's a real
shame. Society is actually discouraged from stopping and smelling the roses,
as you run the risk of being left behind (not an overly bad thing IMO). Tell
most people you spent the weekend building with LEGO, or doing a jigsaw puzzle
or some other single-task multi-hour activity and they'll think you're the
most boring thing in existance.
