I want a set like this ...

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I love Lego, but I used to mix up my sets as a kid. The best thing about Lego are the creative possibilities. Unfortunately that usually means you have to mix up sets to achieve new combos and after that restoring the original set is no longer possible.

Ya I've got the same problem, much more creative when you have a lot of sets to choose from but can no longer put the individual sets back together. So I now just have a lego crate from my childhood all mixed up.

As far as creative freedom goes, don't forget K'nex.  A friend of mine and me in high school built a 3 speed transmission with K'nex using one of the 2 AA battery motors.  We then rigged it into a bridge and used it as a fixed position crane.  It would life a 16 oz. claw hammer, and a one foot long crow bar at the same time.  Granted we had it geared down enough in low to the point where it took a hlf hour to life 2 inches but it did it.  This was all done with zero instructions as well.  Complete with 2 shift levers.

New UCS Sandcrawler!  Much better than the old one.  Not quite as good as the fan made one, but oh well.
