Have children. Then you get to buy as many Lego sets as you want, but they're really for them... honest.

The Saturn V set is excellent, BTW.

I has nice building techniques, but unfortunately, it's all hidden behind a rather sparse exterior and doesn't look very exciting at first glance.

The playing features are cool (several stages that can be separated and put back together), but way too fragile to actually have children play with it.

It's a very fine display model, though. I've put it on a bureau right when you enter my apartment.

The ISS is superb, too (and rather cheap), but the new Space Shuttle was where I eventually drew the line. My pocketbook is very thankful for that.

I just ordered the Space Shuttle (with model Hubble telescope). It's totally for my kid... really.
My oldest, 3.5ish, is just starting to get into the little LEGO sets. To say I’m not beyond excited to uh… buy more kits for “him” would be a huge lie.
