This brings back memories!
That said, I will take this opportunity to say that I think Legos are one of the most awesome toys ever created. Sure I had the GI Joes, the Transformers, the TMNT, but I always kept coming back to Legos. They were a constant source of inspiration for me to invent a robot, a dinosaur, a spaceship, and figure out how to build it.
When I have kids, regardless of whether boys or girls, and what the future wife buys for them, there WILL be Legos.
