I HATE how hard it is to find Legos that aren't just part of a kit that builds ONE thing and has step by step instructions.

My nephew has several of these, but I think they're such a waste compared to the old days where you had a bucket of blocks, and you built whatever you wanted. I also have fond memories of Capsela, Constructs, and old Erector Sets.

I have the same reaction whenever I go to the Lego store. I think the stuff looks great but I wonder if I'll be able to find sets that can do anything for my daughter when she's old enough to not eat them.

The buckets of basic blocks can still be found in quite a lot of places. Sam's Club, Walmart, etc. around where I live still stock pretty sizable buckets.

Good to know. Mostly I've just been hitting Toys R Us and similar places and haven't found any basic blocks available there. I'll look harder:)
