I found this site searching for "Lego Discussion Forum". I have a 5-year-old grandson who we call The Lego Master. He routinely complete sets that are marked for ages 9+ and recently completed one marked for ages 14+.

I'd like to get his something really cool for Christmas, so I'm hoping to get some suggestions here. Which section would be the best place to post it?

Thanks

PS: If I put a blank line between the paragraphs, the Preview adds extra blank lines. To get the Preview to single space, I have to run all of the paragraphs together. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Cynthia,
Welcome to the forum!
I would suggest posting in the Everything else LEGO section with a subject something like “Gift suggestions for advanced 5 year old”. 

The extra blank lines are a current annoyance the forums are imposing on many or most of us; some get more than others. You aren’t doing anything wrong :)

Hello! Welcome to the forum! This is as good a place as any to post it. You could start a new topic in the Shopping section, but I'm sure people will respond right here too. :D

First off: what kinds of sets does he generally like? Some kids like building spaceships, while others like trucks or animals. It'd be easier to offer selections if we had a general idea of his interests. There are hundreds of options currently in stores, hahaha.

You can also peruse the "Holiday Gift Guides" that the admin team carefully assembled on the main page to help with just such a conundrum. :D

I suggest browsing the Lego website or catalog with him and seeing what excites him. If you had a Lego Brand store nearby that is even better.

You may also want to suggest a price range. The Modular Buildings line sounds like it might be the next 'step' in difficulty for him, but those sets go for well over $100 each, which might be too expensive for you.

what about a 4000 pieces technic set?
