LEGO used to make kits like this called Creator, but they got lamer over the years. Now they seem to be pushing more and more the sets that are just 30 pieces, playmobile style.


Lego still make creator sets, and I'd say they're better now than ever (although the price seems to be always increasing)

Here's some creator sets I've bought for my kids that I'd recommend

Lego Tehnics set for the win. See my other earlier post about the fantastic Lego Idea Books that you can use to turn any box of boring parts into amazing contraptions ..


That happened in the late 90s and early 2000s. It’s long over.


Just get a big box of generic Legos.

Then build what you want.
