I was in Friedrichshafen last year. (also visited the Zeppelin museum. Pretty cool.) We watched the Zepplins fly back and forth over the Bodensee with tourists.
I seem to recall that it was 200-300 euros for a few hours aloft. The flight attendents would take a vote asking the passengers which direction over the lake they wanted to fly.
Yes, you can't build a house with bionicle, but you would be surprised at what can be built. There are also some more free-form bionicle kits that allow wider expansion of ideas.
My son and his buddy have started making stop-action movies with their bionicles. The ball joints help!
Now, until today I had never heard of "clikit". If you're complaining about legos that limit creativity, this is it. Girls play with plain lego (and bionicle) just fine.
One of the oldest, still active, games on the internet is empire. The advantages to using empire in a study like this? Open source, free, clients available on several platforms, complex, steep but rewarding learning curve.
