Thank you adult collector nerds for ruining another childhood toy

[M A V I C]

I had a very specific lego set when I was a kid. I had all my regular legos which I used to create stuff like the things shown above, and then I had this one - a pirate ship. I built it and kept it intact for a long time. Then my nephews got ahold of it. While they managed to loose maybe a third of the pieces, they rebuilt it in quite a few distinct ways. So while these pieces may be very specific, a good imagination can always find a way to make something else out of them.

So perhaps this kits are even more challenging than before. Kids have to take something that looks like it may only work one way, and create something different.
