Inspired by LEGO's original set #31006 on the left, I whipped up my own version on the right. It uses some of the same techniques (e.g., design of the front fascia is similar), and it also has working doors and an engine hatch that opens. But, theirs seems more Ferrari and mine seems more Lambo. Kinda sorta. Oh, and that muscle-car hood scoop on mine is because The Boy wanted it that way. :-) #LEGO

The boy just got this LEGO set and I'm really, really impressed by the design.

The boy just got this LEGO set and I'm really, really impressed by the design. It has some terrific features (e.g., working scissor doors and a clear rear deck that lifts up to reveal the "engine") and some interesting bricks. Plus, since it's a 3-in-1 design, even if you don't take a particularly creative approach to your building, you can still enjoy a variety of results. All in all, one of the best LEGO sets I've experienced and certainly the best IMO below $25.

Speaking of LEGO, my son (5) constructed an ostrich all by himself.
