I don’t spend much time lamenting the Lego of yore. You know, where you had a box of fairly basic geometric shapes that when put together formed a thing. They’ve not been replaced, these basic kits are still around. But alongside these sets are more complex endeavors with injection-molded bits that curve to fit the needs [...]

I filled up a little cup of choice bricks at the Lego store up in Kenwood. I figure they’ll make a nice centerpiece or curio thing to leave out on the coffee table.

And I obliged, putting down the camera and getting back to the good stuff: Playing games, making dinosaurs, drawing valentines and eating cookies.

Man, they haven’t topped the ol’ “Space” sets from the 80′s. Keep your fancy Star Wars stuff!
