This is intentionally taking down a creation and making it difficult to rebuild. It’s malicious.[/quote]

You really need to get a grip.

It’s Legos. [/quote]

Really, just Legos. How hard do you think a kid worked to make that structure? 
We try to instill a hard work effort in kids, then say oh, it's just a toy. Oh, they are only a kid. 
It's art and hard work. If it was on a work table in kids room, it shouldn't be taken apart.[/quote]

I agree. We were trying to put together a spaceship lego from my childhood. My mom had maintained  the instructions to all the lego sets and had organized the pieces by color. There were probably 10 different lego sets mixed into the boxes. Rebuilding this ship that should take no more than about 30-45 minutes took me SIXTEEN HOURS across three days. Never underestimate how hard it is to find particular specialized pieces mixed in with bunches of others. It would sometimes take five minutes to locate just one lego piece. Multiply this by 1,000 for a medium size lego set for a worst case scenario. After doing this, I would never again try to put together anything with more than 100 pieces (i.e., nothing)  from a pool of mixed legos.[/quote]
