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.
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.
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.

I would agree that the video poster is even geekier than you are, Michael.
