I thought I should add... the reason the little red-head girl didn't build many lego boats is because she couldn't get the damm hull to look right. Of couse it would have been nice if her parents would have given her one of those sets that had the new one peice hulls. (Like her friends on that other sail-boat had)
So she instead stuck with building cottages with nice flowers on the table.
Ahhh... to think of all the potential boats that could have been invented.

Ok...How about a,lego playing, girl's perseptive on this?
I will admit that I grew up with the lego sets. My favorite was the castles. I would build them to the exact specifications on the included sheet of paper. Does this make me a person without any imagination or creativity?
Sure you can build the castle right out of the box, but what about the world around it? To go with this wonderful castle I had to build a garden, cottages, a treehouse for the princess(Heck I had to make the princess!) and of course I had to make the hidden grottos and secret meeting places for the evil knights that would, at any moment, steal the princess from her peaceful garden. I even fliped over my brothers car mat and colored a meadow on the edge of a lake for the castle to sit on.
Does this show lack of imagination?
I think the key to getting the full potental out of these sets to provide a huge ass box of miscellaneous lego to go with it. The kids will do the rest.
Lego does make boxes of regular building sets..some do come with special pieces. I suppose if you are anal you can throw them away. Or better yet go to lego's web page and order all the boxes of 4X6,white, blocks you can dream of.
As for that castle? It sits upstairs in a box...still put together. I can't wait to see what worlds my future kids build around it.
