I am guilty of that too. :-) Thank you for confirming my first impression when I saw the box! Just be careful about Lego pieces: a friend of ours whose families are all Lego fans as well said that his niece has been taken to the emergency room for swallowing Lego pieces for a couple of times. Afterwards, they just sort of got used to it and decided to "wait it out" (if you know what I mean...) when it happened again. Don’t worry about being a comment hog here.

And now that I know it was for the 50th anniversary, I feel a bit better... but I still can't help think it would have been less creepy had they used a kid instead. Or incorporated dude's picture in some other way. I'm sorry, it's still just weird-looking to me! Oh, we LOVE Legos around here. Granted, my little guy is still way too little to play with them, but my husband has an enormous container full of them under the bed from when he was a kid... just waiting to be played with by our son! I know, I'm being a total comment hog and I'm sorry!!! But what is the name of that movie? It's on the tip of my tongue, but I'm having a massive brain fart and can't remember!! -Jen .-= Jen @ NathanRising´s last blog...<a href="http://nathanrising.com/2009/11/thought-of-the-day-7/" rel="nofollow">Thought of the Day</a> =-.

Good. I was feeling quite guilty for thinking the owner of the Lego group is a perv... LOL. So it is NOT just me then. Good.

Glad you went on to explain! I thought it was weird to see Mr DressUps double on the front of that box. Love that you all play Lego...a family that plays together stays together...and all that jazz!

At first, I was with you - an odd photo for a children's toy. And then you explained - and then ended with one of my favorite movie scenes. We all need to take time out to play. My 6yr. old claims he's too old for his Thomas Train set (the wooden track/trains - we must have thousands of dollars invested) but every time I start building a track he's got to join me. Every time. May he never "grow up." .-= Jane´s last blog ..<a href="http://theycallmejane.wordpress.com/2009/10/06/tunes-for-tuesday-here-it-goes-again/" rel="nofollow">Tunes for Tuesday – Here It Goes Again</a> =-.
