[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have already spend more than $200 on lego for my 3 year old over the last few months. I have purchased some sets of lego classic & city ones. He loves to build things with small pieces, and we read instruction & build them together. DH told me that he sold all his legos (of course not the classic, city ones) for almost a thousand right before he went off college. I wish he had kept all those legos for our sons to play since some of them he sold were the rare & out of prints ones.

Now the lego advent calendar is coming out, and I am tempted to buy as well. Lego seems like a money burning toy. How much is reasonable to spend for lego in a year for a young kid? [/quote]

I feel you OP. I spend about that amount on Legos for DS too. He is 5, so i don't even want to add up how much i have spent but he really loves them and it's the one thing that will keep him busy for hours. The problem is he likes the challenge of building the piece and doesn't really play with it much and then wants another one to build. It has gotten better now that he is older and more creative. He now reuses old lego sets and creations that are partially broken to create things that he thinks of himself.

To answer your question - i say spend as much as you can afford if it makes your kid happy. For me the joy on my son's face when he proudly shows off a new creation - especially the ones he  invents by himself is priceless. [/quote]
