Legos: Worth the Money!

Visit the Lego homepage here!

I have definitely been a big fan of Lego for a long long time as a kid and am now starting to get back in to Lego as an adult. The thing about Lego is that the sets always come with a not-so appealing price tag and I doubt that that will change in the future. So, my advice for parents or anyone considering buying Legos during this holiday season is to pay as little attention to the price as you possibly can. I realize this can be hard to do but, the thing is you get what you pay for. Lego is a vastly superior building toy compared to most others that are on the market, the engineering that goes in to designing the sets, and of course the material that is used in Legos is built to last, are just a few facts that should help you stomach the price tag.

So for younger children I suggest smaller sets that should be built with parental supervision. Kids love building toys and with the right supervision and some quality time with someone who can help guide the build Legos are a great gift. Legos should be played with and then put away to prevent any pieces going missing, all boxes should be cared for gently along with the build books, and all original bags are fine to go in to the trash. Here are several links to fun sets that are great for the young builder:

For teenagers it used to be not so cool to be a nerd, but I am vey proud to tell you that it is now a "Nerd's World" and Lego sets are great for future engineers. There are great sets with harder difficulties then smaller sets and can be seen more as a presentation piece then a toy. Here are several links to great sets for the teenager:

Lego Mindstorms 2.0 Here!
Star Wars: Deathstar Lego Set Here!

Now for adults believe it or not their are sets that will challenge even the most mature adult and can be a fun time burner. Honestly as someone who smokes and is constantly battling the urge to smoke Legos make a great way to keep your hands and your mind busy. Have a few hours just to sit around where you would usually sit and smoke, try a lego set. Lego will build up some patience and may help you get through that time where you need a cigarette break. Here are some Lego sets that will challenge an adult:

Star Wars: Ultimate Collector's Edition: Millenium Falcon Lego Set Here!
Emerald Night Train Lego Set Here!
Grand Carousel Lego Set Here!

Also, for a great family gift Lego has released great video games for Playstation 3, x-box 360, Playstation2, and Nintendo Wii that are great family fun. With Lego games for Starwars, Indiana Jones, Batman, and now Rock Band there is a Lego game to suit your preference.

So, with all of this said as the Holidays quickly approach I think Legos whether in sets or video games can be a great gift for anyone in your family. You never when that Lego set you bought your kids will inspire them to be engineers or architecs, the set  you buy your teenager will inspire them to be creative, or the adult who will now have a new hobby. Legos are definitely a top pick for the holiday season or anytime.
