For many of us Star Wars started in the 1970's. We have seen all the movies. Many bought all the toys and collectibles. So it's over. Star Wars has been replaced by Transformers and Avatar, right? Wrong. Star Wars Legos is the thing. The grandsons, along with much of the newest generation, has discovered it in the last two years. They have memorized the movies including Clone Wars that many of us old timers dismissed. They have the Wii Lego Star Wars games and they have Legos.Legos has recreated EVERYTHING Star Wars. Avery, 6, is in the process of assisting Legos. For Christmas about all he asked Santa for was Lego Star Wars.
Today, he put the finishing touches on an "Republic Attack Cruiser" that he built by himself.
Over a 1,000 pieces. It was rated for 12 years old and above. Like most things in life the young are doing things at half the age that you and I did. I didn't start on model airplanes and cars until about the 4th grade. For that matter not much else was available!
Any who this is a big deal. I saw the box of pieces that Cruiser set and I thought Avery's Dad, Nate, would need a lot of patience. I was wrong.
Avery will be driving by 8 and doing surgery by 15. But that might just be a proud PaPa talking.
