I recommend you Dragon´s Crown

I am curious, if I'm the only one who wanted a big box of 'generic blocks'. Because with that, I just increased my building potential vs 'customized pieces which fits best with this specific set'.

When I was a kid, those theme 'model builder' sets didn't exist. The closest we came were a few special things like a piece that was a window frame with a window in it that pivoted or one that had a wheel for making a vehicle. The rest were just straight edged blocks of various dimensions. We had big ice cream pails full of them that we had to dig through to find just the right pieces for our imagined ideas. As we got older, we graduated to Erector Sets™. They were just girders and plates and screws and nuts, with battery operated motors to make things run. Your pieces could bend out of shape and break and slice your hands all up. If you made a car and left it out in the yard, it would get wet and rust. There weren't any of the sets they have today with shaped pieces and radio controls.

We had to use our imaginations and we could go all day playing with them. When I started seeing what amounts to model sets, I just couldn't understand how they could hold the kids attention. It's no wonder we hear stuff about how kids don't have imaginations anymore. It's all been imagined for them.

Now get off my lawn!!
