THE quintessential dwarf
I think phones and the internet have killed children's imaginations and society in general
Collectors is where it’s at.You'll not be surprised to learn my kits are all neatly bagged and labeled with instruction booklets. Unfortunately they are all generic 90s sets and nothing the kids these days want. Maybe collectors
Had a big old bin of hand-me-down blocks for the creative builds. Couldn't bring myself to dump the kits in the big box
My kids loved pulling out the Ewok village when visiting their grandparents.still holding both my POGs and beanie babies.
I think the only things of mine left at my parents, for the grandkids
like on the subject of imagination, I just spent like 2 days in my favorite place ever, but when I got back and read this review, it pretty much detailed out everything I experienced, so I coulda like skipped it in hindsight.I think phones and the internet have killed children's imaginations and society in general
They have access to more ideas at the tips of their fingers than we had... but I also think that comes with a diminished ability to imagine after a certain point. We had to IMAGINE what an electric car would be. Now kids make a Tesla. That said, the imaginative engineering process would still be the same to get the thing to look how it looks in your head. Your example would be the opposite, kind of - the engineering is taken care of with the kit, but they could still imagine and act out story lines with what they make.I've been thinking a lot about the conversation from a few weeks ago (involving LBE and some others) about whether or not kids these days have diminished opportunities for imagination.
I think LBE's point, if I remember correctly, is that their opportunities just come differently.
My putting together a sick Darth Vader LEGO from six different other kits was an imaginative experience a kid today probably wouldn't have because you can simply buy a pre-designed Vader with a realistic costume and lightsaber. But I guess LBE would say that the kids can still invent stories and stuff
I think kids today can build their own virtual Darth Vader in Road Blocks or in MindCraft. The opportunities for imagination are there but different than what we had and that is sometimes ok.I've been thinking a lot about the conversation from a few weeks ago (involving LBE and some others) about whether or not kids these days have diminished opportunities for imagination.

Yeah it was cool to see all the new space civilizations they came out with each yearI do believe that licensed Lego products were great for their business, but bad for their play experience.
yah I remember the neon ones and stuff as a kid as well. either way, I'd prolly be interested if ya actually wanted to part with any of it
This is the one Lego set I always wanted

So the lady that cuts my hair does a good job and is reasonably inexpensive, but she doesn’t do appointments and it’s just her, so you can show up and either sit right down for a cut or have to wait over an hour as I’m currently doing. I know there are trade offs but I tend to always end up waiting and I think it’s time I start to look around again. Especially when the thread is dead.
Like a Vietnamese lady in her 60s or 70sHow does she look?
