Everyone's favorite blocks

I was at work today I saw one of the researcher's kids playing in the lunch room with legos. LEGO: One of the greatest things to come from the Danes.

One of the gripes I have with the current generation of Legos are that they are kind of all prebuilt as a giant robot or something already. What happened to the lego days where you get like 20 pieces, get another 20 pieces, and then make an airplane or train or something.

I remember the lego kit I had, Fort Legorado. Is that not cool or what? It came with like 10 good guys and 3 bad guys. The soldiers had rifles and the captain had a big white ten gallon hat. The bandits each had dual revolvers, and they all had bandanas. I played with my legos for hours, pretending to shoot the bad guys and then take them to jail...even though they were already dead....shut up I was a kid. The cool thing was that you could use the pieces for the fort and make smaller little bases for the good guys and bad guys. Then I played war and that was an awesome time too.

What the heck is this??? These aren't legos, you cant make anything creative out of that except another robot. You could turn the fort into bases, rafts, bridges, things like that. This stupid robot can only change into another robot. That's lame.

Anyways, the kid I was watching had a pretty cool Lego set. I don't know how he brought it into the building in one piece, but it was this one. That is an awesome lego set. That black thing on the bottom right is one of those air smashing things that shoots the missiles. Cool stuff, but still not much variety in what else you could build with it.

BTW, from yesterday's super soaker thing, this was what I had, and this is the backpack cannon without the backpack. I still can't find that bazooka...
