Erector sets...

[lincpimp]

I was a big lego fan when I was young. Had a large round tablecloth with all of the pieces in there. I even built a complete town with a custom painted board with a railroad around it. Great fun. I also had technic lego and mecanno when I was a bit older. I really think toys like that help hand-eye coordination and also stimulate a young childs immagination.

And Harold has always wanted a huge erector... That is why him and bondo (not the skinniest guy) hang out so much...
