Lego for boys is ("juniorization" not withstanding) about creative building
and play. It's about imaginative scenarios and encouraging kids to stretch

And about how to buy stuff. After all, isn't that what life's all about
- buying stuff? Gotta get them started young...

Sometimes I despair when even Lego does this!
