What parents need to know

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.

Educational value: Not applicable.
Positive messages: Not applicable.
Violence: Not applicable.
Sex: Not applicable.
Language: Not applicable.
Consumerism: The site is primarily an online store, so consumerism is a big focus. Kids can buy products, and ads are everywhere.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Not applicable.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
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?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
A bit overwhelming but fun nonetheless, LEGO.com offers LEGO fans everything they could ever want -- and even some things they didn't know they wanted. It might be helpful to have a destination in mind when entering this site, as kids could easily get bogged down for hours browsing, chatting, and playing games.

NOT FOR SIX YEAR OLDS!
okay, LEGO is going to TeenGO, to all those teenagers, kids under 18 are pretending to be teens saying a bad word and cannot be suitable for children under 16 or 17, and now you have to be 13 or 14 or 15 to play with legos.

HORRIBLE SERVICE! DO NOT USE!
Worst Customer Service of any company i've dealt with online, products were ordered and money was taken, gifts never arrived, gifts were ordered for christmas 3 months in advance and no sign of the products ever arriving, tried to contact 5 times without any response, DO NOT USE 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.

Unfortunately, my kids favorite site
My kids love this website which as far as I can tell is a big marketing scheme. It definitely drives the lego hunger- for new product lines and movies. Some of the stuff is violent- guns, lasers etc.. which is actually why they like it, but I have let go around this one site because it seems to satisfy their pure mindless entertainment needs. Be aware that there is a chatroom- my kids steer clear, and that it is easy to navigate off site onto other product sites. Adult nearby is a good idea.

TWO THUMBS DOWN!
This site straight down svcks. It may be a decent site for little kids to be on, but here is why we all hate lego* 1: They added a new feature where you can send messages to your buddies on there, but you get a choice of what you want to say to them!! 2: You CANNOT directly interact with other kids on there. 3: The Games on that site are LOUSY! 4: They added way too many junk extras!

Exceptionally well done
There are games with educational content, and security is no problem, as the Message Boards are Moderated by Adults which let nothing inappropriate through. There is, however, and online store, but you must be 18 to buy from it.
