Have to disagree there. As the other guys have mentioned, it's infinitely more creative and challenging, not to mention educational. TFs ultimately are just action figures and there's only so much you can do with them. Sure your child's imagination might take off playing with TFs but the Lego gets people to challenge the boundaries of what they can do, to go outside the box. Think of Lego as not a toy brand but as a source of building blocks that allows you to build whatever you want to.Originally Posted by blackoptimus

On top of that look at some of the premium Lego sets like the Taj Mahal or the Eiffel Tower. They're just downright amazing in what they are able to capture.
Everyday, I see something pretty darn amazing and inspiring. That's not to say TFs are inferior toys, they offer something else that Lego can't - complex transformations/engineering, characters and personality. But Lego really does test the boundaries of your imagination and changes you from being a pure consumer of entertainment to a creator - which is somethign I have to say I'm guilty of these days. I can blame it on work but there's a strong part of me that would like to be creating rather than simply consuming and Lego offers that avenue.
