Nothing can top a good LEGO Technic set.

Glad to see LEGO right on top of all.

I’ve noticed that Technic sets have slowly receded from the market. It’s a sad thing, what kids these days will miss.

Man, the Technic sets were fantastic. Oh, the hours I spent with Lego (especially the Technic sets).

No ThingMaker? I want to find an old ThingMaker set just to smell that smell again....

The Evel Knievel toy should have been ranked way higher. If it is the one I am thinking of - where you put the cycle in a contraption, turned the crank, and let him go. That was just an awesome toy.

They're a bit pricey, given that they are really still just plastic bits. There are still some sets available on Lego's site.

I liked the Erector Set.

My #2 grandson is a WHIZ with stuff like this. His earliest construction was unique and interesing. When asked what he had built, he nonchalantly replied, "It's just a jelly shooter."
