When I say 'cool again', I generally mean that when you're a kid, you think they're awesome. Which they are. But when you grow up, you kinda forget about them. Yeah, Bionicle and Mindstorms have kept the brand going into early to mid teens, but you do generally grow out of them.

With this new wave of Lego licensed games, however, you're tempted to go back to actually building the damn things. That Lego Death Star looks pretty cool now, right? Your little brother (and maybe sister, I dunno) wants a Lego Harry Potter set, and maybe you do too. When the Lego Indiana Jones sets come out, you're gonna want some of them, aren't you? See? Cool again.

Also: The Lego Star Wars Complete Sage may finally give me the push I need to actually buy a Wii if it doesn't surface for the PC. So yay!
