As a child, we moved around a lot, and quite often flew Lufthansa, and my sisters and I would receive little toy boxes of Lego's. I told my son this, and he looked at me as if Lego's were just invented last year.
So, thirty plus years later, my 8 yr old has become infatuated with Lego's, to the point that we save each box; when taken apart, each section is placed in the bag with it's individual instruction booklet- if he could, he would set up an invisible laser system to keep my 3 year old from touching his sacred City.
He has most of the City, and if Lego came out with more items to purchase for the City collection, he would pick up sticks, again, in the front yard for money to buy them.
Granted, Lego's are not the cheapest toy, but if it makes him use his imagination, and not have something (T.V.) do it for him, I'll gladly spend what money I can budget into keeping his mind at work.
Definitely a keeper- but I don't remember the pieces being that small.
