Why is it that when you buy a Leggo set for your kids that has several separate vehicles, they have several different bags but each bag is not for each individual vehicle? So you still have to open up every fucking bag, have the kids going through all the pieces and losing them and there sits dad or helpful other scratching his head at the fucking mess on the floor minus pieces that are now fuck knows where in the house. why not bag each vehicles parts in their individual bags? —Lost in Leggo Land

Yes, clearly it’s the packaging that causes the lost pieces.
Should I point out that it is actually Lego?
sounds like pure bliss *sigh*
Maybe the parents need a mechanic course before assembly….kids are sometimes smarter in that regard.
I doubt the accuracy of this bitch. My son’s lego was separated into bags that matched specific sections of the instruction books. Other than a common sheet for labels, the different subassemblies were well separated.
Figuring out how to put it together is the fucking point. Just go buy a prebuilt RC car and be done with it.
Isn’t the whole point of Lego to have kids use their imaginations to build whatever they want? So who cares what part is in what bag.
Certain Lego’s are to have the kid just use their imagination but when I was a kid I always thought it was more fun to try and find the right pieces and put them in the right places and then end up with a kick ass x-wing. OP, the trick is to keep the bags separated into neat piles, that’s why they are labeled. Or they used to be anyway.
Jesus, if someone is too dumb to spell Lego I doubt they could actually help someone build anything.
first, build the original incarnation of the lego, second, build other stuff. third, have bins of lego
My 9yr old says you are wrong, OB. He says that the cheaper Megablocks do that, but LEGO doesn’t. That is maybe one of the reasons why Megablocks are cheaper.
I got confused with Leggo my Eggo
I always check that the 2 moving parts in MY bag are in full working order.
op, leave kiddies’ toys alone til you reach the appropriate mental age. 3-5?
hands up everyone who has stepped on a piece of lego, at 3am, bare feet.
Rate the pain level of this post – from level one (minimal) to level ‘stepping on a Lego in the middle of the night’ (fucking excruciating).

I hate the phrase ‘first world problems’ but i sort of feel like this qualifies as one.
Think of it this way op. The chaos is over for another year. Get drunk tonight and chill out a bit, wouldja?
i think it definitely qualifies as 1st world ‘meh’ of the year problem. but whatever floats yer boat in these turbulent waters.
BAh! you don’t have to be first world to buy a Christmas present for your children.
^^ pray tell what magical boots you used to make that huge leap. this isn’t about buying a christmas present.
Isn’t that the point of Lego? That there is some challenge to building it? Or I suppose everything should just come pre built so your kids don’t learn shit.
I don’t think you understand the point of Lego. Much less how to spell it.
Dude!….chill, pour yourself more eggnog, less egg more nog and relax about it. After all the kid will make something no one be able to recognize. Chances are they want to do it all themselves. I don’t think the kids care as much as you do.
