When I was a kid I played with Lego but that was back in the late 60's
early 70's when themes were not that prevalent and there wasn't much
of a variety of pieces so I just remember having Lego bricks in general and after
many years of not playing with them they just stayed in the past. Then about
15 years ago I had a friend that while being in his late 20's still loved
Lego. His appreciation of Lego would cause me to every once
in a while to stroll down the Lego isle at the local Walmart store and I eventually
decided to give Lego a try and bought this set:
I was surprised at the tolerances used in the making of the pieces, the way doors
would pass by other pieces soo smoothly without catching on other pieces. Unlike
almost all other plastic toys, Lego seemed to care about quality. Another thing
that I really appreciated was how relaxing I found it to be to just sit down
after work and build part of a set while listening to music or watching a video.
I really enjoyed that.
