    This year, lego must be the must have toy! Number one son James has always love lego and santa and family have kept him well stocked, but this year, boy has santa had problems getting hold of any. A certain catalogue store chain has completely sold out almost countrywide - so along come a lovely little old fashioned toy shop. He had a delivery today and kept some back for Santa to collect. Hopefully Santa won't leave it so late next year.

    Lego = the ultimate toy. I wish I were young again, I loved playing with my lego for hours on end.

    Both my grandson's are hooked on Legos. Great-gramma is giving Austin the Bionicle Jetrax T6 and Nicky is getting the StarWars Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive Booster Ring. I went shopping for her early this month and those were just about the last ones on the shelf at Toys-R-Us.

    My grandson has been a fan for 15 years. Have you seen the latest Lego art? What a creative medium for kids to use their imaginations!

    I could kick myself!!! :-x I should have asked you if you wanted any Lego EJ but just didn't stop to think. We cleared out the attic cupboards a while back and I gave a large dustbin full of the stuff to a charity shop. :(

    I loved Lego as a child, but my children show no interest. My nephew on the other hand just can't get enough of it!

    Lego is a big hit here as well. We pass it around the family as the children grow. It's very exensive but lasts and lasts and lasts. We've been to Legoland a couple of times. It's fun.

    My son loved Legos and Lincoln logs. Are just plain Legos a thing of the past! My daughter liked the Legos, but not as much as her dad did, building things with her!! :rolleyes:

    Hehehe Eileen - I'm sure they went to a good home. Plain lego is still popular kuntrygal - we have a huge box full of it plus all the fancy stuff from sets. You can get Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Pirates, airports...you name it, James loves it all!
