What Parents Need to Know

About Lego

Parents need to know that this site is primarily an online store, so, of course, the Lego toy lines are heavily promoted. There's a message board where Lego aficionados can talk to one another, and it appears safe; the site creators assure us that each message is reviewed by a moderator before it's posted. Although most of the games and activities on the site have little educational value, a few engage kids in creative play or virtual construction.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how the Web site relates to the Lego toys. What do you think of the games on the site? Did you find a game that involves your favorite Lego toy? Was playing the game anything like playing with Legos? Did playing the online games make you enjoy the actual toys even more? Also, if you don't own any Legos, how did you learn about them and this site?

    Great for kids!

    Lego has plenty of fun, and even educational games, such as MLN (My Lego Network), which can help one manage money and supplies, even negotiate trade. The site promotes creativity. Moderators check EVERY message on the message boards BEFORE they are visible to the public. Slow process for acceptance, but very safe.

    This site could be ALOT better...

    I've played on this site, and here's what I think. Pros: It's a good advertiser for the site, it's got lots of variety in Products, and there's kids on it. Cons: They shove the advertising down your throat. You can't discuss real-life topics, you can only talk about LEGO. :( It also takes as long as 3 days for a topic to go through (and a post) Now, if you want a conversation if a specific person about (For example) how the day was, you can't. Also, the MY LEGO Network doesn't have Text messaging, and by the time your post goes through on the Message Boards, the information will probably be inaccurate, the closest thing to a MMOG LEGO has is Brick game, and on the Message Boards, they don't keep it tidy with typos! (Which leads to text-typing, and not being literate) Overall, 2/5.
