A true space ship wouldn't need wings. You're raising a retard.

Doesn't that scene take place right before Vader tortures his own Angel Princess? Well played.

Oh yeah, spoilers.

My father in law got my 5 year old one of those several hundred dollar battery operated cars last year. The box that held the box was fricking washer boxer huge. She played in that for 2 hours before they FORCED her to try the car. Then she went back to the box.

Kids don't GAF about dollar figures. They care about perceived fun. You really want to get a kid a good present? Either get a box or just order something like this:

You're right about the box, especially for boys. The only things I would add would be a girlie magazine, firecrackers, and a box of Swisher Sweets.

I still find it a bit sad that Legos now come with instructions. That was the cool thing about Legos back when I was a kid. It was just a box of different pieces that you could build into a space ship today, a fort tomorrow, and battleship the day after that. Instead of learning to follow instructions, you learned to use your imagination.


Wait, there was a time when legos didn't come in kits with instructions?

I loved legos when I was a kid... still have thousands of them... they all came with instructions. Then eventually you ditched them and took it all apart and made something different anyway, because you could.

I'd say the $40K 'Stang I gave my kid ranks pretty close to the top. Course he was at the ripe old age of 15, and you may be talking about slightly younger...

I had hundreds of red, blue, and yellow Lego blocks that were available in loose sets to build whatever I saw fit.

For a boy, the correct answer is either a drum kit or an electric guitar.

He will be knee-deep in poon-tang by 9th grade, with almost zero risk of injury trying to be a jock cuz his old man either sucked at sports or is one of the thousands of delisional ex-jocks that thinks his boy will play D-1 ball.
