My favourite was castle, I had the kings castle, black falcons castle, guarded inn, blacksmith and siege tower with wall. All that loose in a massive box, mixed in with all my futuron, Blacktron and my older brothers classic space and random bits was enough to build any castle imaginable. Keeps inside walls, three high walls, separate gatehouses etc.
What could most kids make out of a bacave, funhouse and two face chase? Perhaps when my kids are a bit older I'll see that with a child's imagination it's just as adaptable now as then but im not convinced.
I never even realised that lego came in sets!
I have twin 6 year old boys, one who has really got into building (from instructions) this year, and one who likes playing with built models.
For the former, the Christmas present that he's accumulated most play-time with is a Brickmaster Ninjago book. Several different models from the same pieces. He's taken them apart and rebuilt each model now.
The Ninjago Ultrasonic raider was the first Christmas set he built, and it's still it one piece.
Twins teach you that each child is different, but I seem to remeber a phase of building from instructions and then only later making things up - maybe he's like me.
I re-bought a set last year that I remember as my most played with from childhood #744 Basic bricks. That set comes with full instructions for 15-20 models.
I know there are 3-in-1 sets (and I picked up a £12 #7345 helicopter for Daddy's Lego Store the other day), but they are really interested in minifigs and themes like Ninjago and Super Heroes.
She did do the alternate builds for the Friends pets though.
