I'll be the first one to admit it that I have a problem when it comes to toys. When I was a kid I loved toy guns, later it became video games, now most of my toys come from the expensive electronic variety. Sometimes however, I can't resist the 7 year old in me and I buy myself a Lego. It's been worse a year or two ago, as I was buying more of them. At the moment however, I don't have a place to put them so I am very picky about the ones that I get. There are two criteria that I use.

Two and A Half Men: Pharmacist: "Here's tampons, Pepto, and decongestant... It's a dam to plug any river.."

Oh, rather what you can make on it. I am in the process of putting together Vader's TIE fighter. With the Little One, who made her daddy proud by knowing what the Light Saber is. While listeing to this.
