@linux_mclinuxface I never got any #Lego sets as a kid. However, I received #Construx and an #Erector set. In both cases, I built all of the things in the instructions, which is how I learned how the pieces interact. However, I later learned that some of the pieces in the Erector set fit with the Construx… So, from then on, I combined the two into lots of my own creations. I often wish I still had some of both to recreate the cool stuff I made as a kid.

Question for #toy #model and builder enthusiasts (and their kids):

Do you prefer toy systems (e.g. models, LEGO, Erector, etc.) that offer guided builds or open-ended free play?
