Pretty much the same background. Lucky if I could get a new bucket of Legos from the store but it was usually a dollar or two bag of random pieces from the goodwill. But it felt better to me to be able to slap a few bricks together and call it a car or a chicken. I think of building or playing with Legos is to have an imagination to play with as well.
I only remember getting lego buckets and occasionally a lego design book. This is in the early 80’s

That’s what I had. Just buckets and buckets of second hand legos. Some probably from the 1950s.
Some were probably so dirty that they were permanently dirty. And I build a dino-cow. What’s a dino-cow? It’s a half T-rex, half cow. Because I can!!!
Now kids are like “Here, build THIS”. My niece doesn’t know what to do with random assorted legos with no build.
I told her to quote Carl, “I don’t NEED no INSTRUCTIONS to know how to ROCK!!!”
