Go on admit it! If you were into Lego as a kid the chances are you are still into it as an adult. Okay sure, it may take a bit of excuse to actually go out and buy it but with Christmas coming up you may indeed have that perfect excuse. So repeat after me - “It’s for the little one”

Okay cool now we have that out of the way you are decide on what you are going to buy yourself for the little one. When I was younger my favourite was a Lego airport complete with buildings, runway and a couple of planes. These days however it seems the Lego kits have gotten ever more complex and detailed, which given that most of the joy for me with Lego was the creation itself, means that the entertainment value has come a long way.  If your into your Star Wars then you may be interested to know there is a whole range of Star Wars associated Lego products. How about the classic Imperial AT-ST, or take it up a notch with the Fully Motorised AT-AT, complete with a little Lego Skywalker figure -  WOW !

Moving away from Star Wars, but keeping on the space theme you may also want to consider the ETX Alien Mothership, which includes 2 astronauts and 5 glow-in-the-dark alien mini-figures. Or how about this Lego Firestation, complete with extendable ladder, 4 fire fighters ready for duty, along with 2 trucks.

And yes just for me they still do a Lego Airport. Unfortunately I don’t have the excuse that I’m buying it for the little one so for now I think I need work on another excuse why a 32 year old man is playing with it.  Perhaps I’ll have to make do with the Lego StarWars games, available for a host of consoles.
