Maybe we should do a limited edition MTO Admin Team set?  Who wouldn't want a little Micah, Felinevet or Megan minifig?  :D

Well, we've got one covered already. :D

Not unless you have a connection point on top of your head - could you sand the point down or will that just leave a hole like you've trepanned yourself?

One of my favourites. I love the way one can see the drive train and gearing. I find them excellent tools to explain basic mechanics to the kids.

I'm about a 1/3 through building the Mercedes-Benz Arocs Truck. I'll post pics of both side by side.

indeed that set is awesome... it doesn't really fit with the rest of my collection, but I'm loving some of the new concepts and licensing partnerships they've been putting together!

Love the Carbon Freezing chamber Micah! 

That new (old) Batman set is catching my eye, simply because I collect Superhero minifigs and it comes with like 9 minifigs.  I love it when TLG includes a ton of minifigs in a set.  My Son's jurassic world indominus breakout was nearly $200 and only came with 4 minifigs.  I routinely pick up sets for $80 that have 5 in them.

I am helping our kid with a Lego build that she got for her birthday. She is only 3 so I am doing all the work and she takes a piece and wants me to chase her  :ahhh 

Anyways, I am playing with Legos after about 25 years and is it me or have the pieces got tinier. Some pieces needs a magnifying glass to find  :o

The stud size remains the same -- my Lego sets from the 80's still work well with recent sets. 

Wonder what set you're putting together for your kid -- that definitely doesn't sound like Duplo.

On a side note, word has it that pieces aren't as "opaque" as they were.  If you hold a 30yr old brick up to the light, it blocks more light than a brick from a set 30 weeks ago.  Not that I have tried nor care though....

This is the one. I am very impressed with some of the pieces. There is even a tiny ball joint socket.

Our baby has been playing with Mega Blocks and Duplo. This is way too advanced for her. Once I build it and she plays for it for a few days it will go back in the box and come out when she is ready.
