Yes! Blocks! As kids my sibs and I always went for these first. We still have them 40 years later.
We built towers, houses, marble raceways, roads, & other stuff. Our set came with rectangles, cubes, arches, columns, and wedges from 1" square to 2x4x24.

Yeah, blocks were awesome. There weren't any legomen to crash upon when I had them 35 years ago so I had to use my little brother.

Get maple ones - they feel nicer, don't splinter, and last forever. Check out http://www.barclaywoods.com/wooden_blocks_lg_fir.
You gave me a score of 1???
The Uganda thing is part of the VIM story, man. Don't be a heartless freeloader - send the frickin' kids a few bucks already!
If you like VIM, think about making a donation to ICCF to help kids in Uganda.
