Comments on: Presidential Inauguration in Lego http://www.neatorama.com/2009/01/16/presidential-inauguration-in-lego/ The Neat Side of the Web Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:42:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: islandmanagers http://www.neatorama.com/2009/01/16/presidential-inauguration-in-lego/comment-page-1/#comment-1388328 islandmanagers Sat, 17 Jan 2009 17:11:34 +0000 http://www.neatorama.com/?p=22081#comment-1388328 Best. Toy. Ever. I lament the arrival/evolution of the newer legos, what with all the specific, pre-made attachments and parts and whatnot. What made lego great was that a child was presented with a bunch of BLOCKS, from which his/her imagination went wild. Alas, today, it seems most everything is already done--they seem more like action figures than a clean slate, a blank canvas. Best. Toy. Ever.

It's so 1995. I may be in a bad mood today. but, i don’t get how things in Lego’s are still so interesting to people. It’s so 1995.
