Regarding Lego's in general. I love them! I had a ton as a child. My best friend had all the castles and my cousin was obsessed beyond anyone I have ever met, even today.
Currently I am into the Mindstorms sets. I buy them all. Right now I have 2 of them and I want very badly some of the 3rd party accessories to make some unique fun robotic machines or robots. The possibilities seem endless. There are so many neat ones I can't decide what I should build to use them now. I find my self thinking of robots that could do something only to make an excuse to buy the part and build it.
This situation that the boy was in reminds me of Nintendo games.
1. A new fun game I wanted would come out.
2. I would save up the funds to buy it or I was currently playing something else I would need to finish first.
3. By the time I got the money or finished the previously mentioned game, the game I wanted would be out of print and the prices would be in the stratosphere.
4. Sometimes, Christmas or birthday would come around and mom would be the savior. I would drop my jaw she was willing to and paid so much money for some of my games. I keep the ones she bought me not only to play again, but for sentimental reasons.
