What Lego sets do your kids have? Which do they/you like or dislike? (and how old are your kids?)

My almost 2 year old likes megablocks, but that could be because that's all we have besides the little ones that the older kids play with. How many types are there? I haven't bought anything new in a long time.

I dont remember the name of the set but its a castle with horses and stuff. other than that I mostly buy pieces by the pound on ebay and we go to the lego store now and then to buy figures or other specialty pieces. my kids dont follow the instruction guides,they build their own things. they are 11 and 8.
the younger ones are still loving duplos (bob the builder is the big hit here, it came with all the different trucks. so fun)

Oh, you mean like that! We bought a few things like that for my boys, but I think they're a waste of money because they already have tons and think of what to do with the ones you have instead of getting more with instructions. The last time I was asked to get something like that, I got a game instead, Creationary. They played with it about 3 times and I bought it almost a year ago.

My 7 and 9yrs. old like all the lego city sets...police, fire, airport, houses, cars construction, abulances, garbage truck...we have alot but for the last 2 years thats all they played with and I certainly got my monies worth...they have slowed down a bit with it but I dont regret it. We also bought a few tubs of pieces and they like to build their own stuff.

My son loves his Megabloks pirate set, my DD has a Lego diner set that is all pink. Very Happy

My other DS liked having lots of windows and doors and roof pieces to make houses with.

I think the castle set is great for using your own imagination. After a bit all my kids lego sets end up in one big box. Plus I bought a lot second hand.

my son's 3 so we have the duplos but we love the farm set and the fire truck set... also have the zoo set... we like animals and fire trucks, and motorcycles.... lol we build yishivas and shuls and have the animals standing on the roof listening :-)

the cars and trucks are outside and go back and forth to pick up the ppl to come learn

My kids are able to follow the instructions. We keep everything built...except for a few sets that broke and we never fixed. I keep all the instruction booklets in case we have to fix something later on. Once they brake and they go into the big box...it such a waste of money bc the sets are way more expensive than the boxes of random lego.
