I was a little afraid she might find it "silly" or "trivial" or "childish," but I shouldn't have worried about a woman who, after all, married me.
But we can't compete with this guy...

We saw this at the Lego Store and I love it. If it makes you feel better, my 38-year-old brother buys Legos regularly and has a collection of Toy Story toys.
Frank Lloyd Wright, yes?
And check out these lego books on Ed Hutchin's site:
www.artistbooks.com
That is a good gift! It is so cool that they've tapped into another market. I wonder what else Lego has out there. Oh no, I feel a 20 minute web search coming on.
@Dr. Kenneth
We who lived with his inspirations on the campus of Florida Southern called him "Frank Lloyd Wrong." Visit and you will find out why.....
I would agree that the video poster is even geekier than you are, Michael.
I think a better gift would have been to get a Lego kit for the FLW house, plus one for the Taj Mahal, and then Lego kits for several other major architectural landmarks, and take them all out of the boxes and shake them up together in a big bag. Much more scope for creativity there.
@Elizabeth
Tee hee! but..
this is already what happens if a small boy is given the Legos he desires. (Our son is 26, still has all of the advanced sets....) oy!
@Elizabeth: We have a fairly massive Lego collection, bought mostly all at once at a yard sale down the way at less than a tenth of its street value. It is more or less exactly what you describe.
