My husband got me the Titanic lego set for Christmas.

It's been a total blast to build--highly recommended.

If you look at individual legos, you'll just have a random mishmash.

But if you think about what you can build with them together, you can create amazing, mind-bending things.

No individual lego piece is that cool or special.

What's cool or special is the higher level thing you can build out of totally ordinary pieces.

Legos are cool at the level of the system, not the level of the block.
