A little boy's dream: coolest lego setup ever!

Wish I'd had Legos when I was a kid; I did have Lincoln Logs, Tinker-Toys, and some sort of brick building kit whose name I can't remember; didn't have an Erector Set because my mother thought I might injure myself with the steel parts; the irony of the Erector Set situation was I was so good at assembling various things from the Lincoln Logs, etc., my mother would 'volunteer' my services to other people to aid them in assembling bicycles and other metal assemblies, which usually meant I alone did the work while my mother and her friends gossiped. At least, I did develop a knack for sussing out how to assemble and fix a large range of objects. Kids really should have a balance between being immersed in new tech and the opportunity to engage more manual, tactile experiences...
