Kids don't play this stuff anymore

[Doubblur]

When my son was a kid, I bought him Lego and Playmobile. Anybody still remember what's that? His favorite shopping centre was People's Park OG where the latest toys and addons were available. Then across the road was Garment Childswear for latest children cartoon T-shirts.

Are you kidding? Of course they play with Legos. Playmobile less so. Legos have their minifigures that look somewhat like Playmobile. Johore is opening their Legoland this year! Check it out.

Ya, some sets are not cheap. But the kids build, then take apart and invent new things with them. I don't mind spending money on them.

In the past there were still these foam cutout planes, fix them up and they're a few hours of fun.

Unfortunate thing is that it's darn flimsy, breaks after a short while.

Lego and Playmobile were fun and creative for children. In my old home I had a glass cabinet. My son after a few weeks fiddling with his Lego and Playmobile until bored, I told him to assemble a proper display for the glass cabinet. He made up everything from medieval castle, cowboy town, red Indian village, airport to space station through the years. Then he discovered computer, dragged me to a computer shop in Sim Lim Tower to buy a Pineapple computer. What's a Pineapple computer, I asked. He said just cheapo imitation of a real Apple computer at less than half price of the real thing. What's a real Apple computer then? OK, nevermind.

Still got, at neighbourhood shops. There is a whole series of WWII fighter planes.

I think kids are flexible. They will play with whatever you throw at them. Of course, the easiest is to throw them an ipad, and that's what most of them play with nowadays.

They used to called them Hackintos awhile back.

It's a Windows based PC hacked to run Apple's OS if i've not mistaken.

Don't think they play with them anymore, at least not at around my neighbourhood.

iPad / iPhone is indeed the in thing amoung kids now, just overheard one telling another kid to upgrade his ipad 2 to the new ipad.

KNN si gina, im still using ipad 1 and i use it for work.

Lego is alive and well and still going strong. There are Lego online games as well. What is better than Lego imo are the Meccano Sets that I used to play as a kid.

Lego is alive and well and still going strong.

They have Lego Ninjagos games and movies that will attract young-at-heart too.
