Lego as a toy for nerds

I grew up with Lego. My parents are cheap, and did not buy/give us many kids' entertainment goodies. And books and Lego were the only things we were allowed to request. And once you have a set of Lego, you can make everything, I mean "everything". My brother and I used to make spaceships to roller-skates (yes, I was not as heavy as now). but these guys, oh man, are way more advanced than us. It made me want to dig my old closet at my parents' for Lego-fun once again.
