Must confess to being more of a MECCANO man myself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meccano#Capabilities But anything that gets youngsters interested in engineeering and how things work is a good thing.
Personally think the older skeletal style like the Enzo I have make better models as you can see all the Lego cleverness in the suspension, V12 etc. These are huge at !8" long but bitch to dust!
