We have looked at the other bland blocks, but part of the attraction for my kids, are the "model" sets.
My son is as big of a star wars fan as myself. Thus, he has 2 different size Millenium Falcons, an Xwing, an Imperial Shuttle, random little sets, and if he has his way, this year he'll get a star destroyer set. (HOLY BALLS THAT SET IS EXPENSIVE)
He also likes the architecture sets. Big Ben, Leaning Tower, etc... He's built probably ~20 models.
My daughter started out enjoying the Lego City, but as she has gotten older, she is very much a "build her own thing." This has evolved as she has gained a love for special effects makeup. My daughter watches Face Off Religiously. I DVR it for her, because she'll be passed out by 10, but she will watch it tonight, after dinner. We went to a local craft store, and she had birthday money. What'd she buy? A mannequin head, and 20 pounds of clay. Honestly, at the rate she is going, I have a feeling I have a budding Steampunk / Cosplay / Make up effects genius in the house.
