And little to no dolls. And I turned out alright.

The proper building bricks, not the sets where you can only build, like, one thing.

A mate got a bunch of us Lego for Christmas. Mine was a pirate ship, that you could ONLY make a pirate ship out of.
Ok, so I also made a alarmingly-curved penis out of the bits, but it was a serious chore. Not even fun.

All the bits are pre-moulded into the approximate shape. Which takes all the imagination and effort out of building the damn thing in the first place. It's become like those clip together Airfix kits they do for ADD afflicted kids who can't be trusted with Humbrol paints and glue.
I agree with the cost sentiment... Lego would be cheaper if they used fewer specialist molds to make one use only bits...

If so then the cost should fall.
You can get some nice old-school Lego sets which are purely bricks, no wheels or anything. Problem is the kids will still scream for the one with the picture of the cool car on the box that they'll complete in about an hour then never return to again.

I've never owned a games console in my life.

But still had time to go falling out of trees and playing in building sites.

no games consoles, and made to play outside on the grounds of 'it's healthy' and 'learn to amuse yourself'
