width210 height160 div Yes, Lego is 50 years old, a fact touted by
Google today. Since my son has this now discontinued or retired
set, I thought Id put in a word about how cool the Star Wars sets
are.br br He found it very, very hard to build when he put it
together or too young his words. It took three days and I can
testify to how proud he felt, after getting together nearly 700
pieces I think it was about 685 pieces. br Details worth noting
secret compartments and features that make for hours of imaginative
play. We did have one bad day when a younger brother, just learning
to walk, fell and destroyed hours of work but the older brother
persevered and learned something about patience and dealing with
setbacks. br There are tiny figures that add to the fun such as
troopers, droids and more. This one kept him occupied for hours.br
The major benefits of Star Wars and other Legosbr br 1. They help
develop an attention to detail and make reading directions fun and
worth the time. There is a clear payoff for the time involved and
kids love looking at the results of all that hard work. Our son has
his right next to his soccer trophies. br br 2. Kids can create
their own works and then turn around and make the official
version.Also, the tiein to Star Wars, resonant, evocative. br br 3.
Adults often maintain an affection for Legos and keep collecting
them.br br 4. If you do some research online, youll discover that
Legos are considered one of the most trusted toys around. I have my
theories about why this is so. Part of the appeal is that they
start with easy sets and then work up to harder ones. There have
been imitations but people seem to come back to the classic Lego
sets. br br Just dont make the mistake we did. Hang on to the boxes
