Re: Ah, Lego

"Now a lego kit makes one thing and one thing only."

Not true. Apparently they were moving in that direction around twenty or so years back, but stopped doing that, and none of the sets I bought my niece or nephew in the past few years have been like that.

Yes, some of them to have some fancy, semi-custom parts, but this was the case even when I was a kid in the early 80s.

Or did you mean that they only come with instructions for one thing to build? I'm not sure whether that's correct or not (though they do sell some explicitly '3 in 1' sets), but you can build countless things with Lego regardless of whether or not it's in the official instructions.
