I bet to differ on the idea of toys stimulating creativity.
Take lego for example. It used to just be blocks and shit that fit together a million different ways. You could build ANYTHING. Hell, I even made a jurssic park raptor cage when i was a kid.
Look at lego now, it is so specialized it only fits together one way and most of the time it makes some rediclous space ship or soemthing.
Point being, you could build soemthing with lego back in the day and break it to build something else the next day.
Todays legos seems to only be able to go together on way. Lame.
