I was always a legos boy as a kid. I would seriously sit for hours every day building vehicles and space ships out of various lego parts that I had been collecting from garage sales over time. We never really had the money for lots and lots of legos, or the special versions with the cool pieces that you always see advertised on television. But what is great about them is that they’ve been around for so long that you can still find a few of them cheap. I always envied the kids with k’nex, or erector sets… like the kid on The Sand Lot… oh I wish I had those things as a kid, I think I turned out alright without them
but it would of been fun to build with.
Now kids have Magnext though! Of all of the Building toys around Magnext definitely take a top slot! My first encounter with MagNext brand was in Michigan when I was visiting my wife’s family, her grandma had some MagNext toys… and lets just say I felt like a little kid again building structures out of these magnetically attachable pieces! They’re great because they have endless potential as they use magnets and steel balls you can add to, or expand your set with various other parts!
Ah, to be a kid again! At least I get to go through it all over again when my son is born!
