This is how I ended up in aerospace... I had them all as a kid.

I don't recognize any of them, but I recognize that era. I had several of those sets (maybe some listed here, but I think probably from the year after this). I miss lego. I actually bought some "bulk" lego a while ago but I don't have the space to mess with it. I did pull it out a couple of times and built some very childish vehicles that made me happy, don't care they were childish. lol. Also discovered the joys of buying lego by the piece - not cheap, but I go so many transparant 1x1s for emergency lights... lol. I kinda fulfilled a bit fo childhood dream. :)

(I used to turn the 1x1 red and blues diagonally to indicate they were supposed to be on. hehe)

    don’t care they were childish

    Bah! If it gets a kid's / your imagination rolling, AND it's fun, AND it's creative, then that's all that matters. Build your heart out. The process, the creativity, that's the point of it.

    Pretty much every gift I give to kids is a creative toy. Big pile o' parts, and you explore and make whatever comes to mind. And whatever came to mind is exactly the right thing to be making.

    If it brings you joy its all good in my book!

    I went next level, hit 35 bought a bunch of Lego for the same reasons and it was fun... for a bit. Then me being an engineer I was "Whats the next level of Lego"?

    WELDING!

    Got my certifications, got a MIG and its been pissing my neighbors off for years on the weekends. Well until they need something fixed, how the turn tables have turned eh?
