Legos are a pretty important staple; you definitely want to cover the basics before going for the fancy stuff. Also, I recommend avoiding the lego sets that come with instructions and special parts for making specific things; stick to buckets of bricks and let the kids freely generalize.

I agree, but you also want some fancy pieces that you usually only find in sets. Having a couple of fire pieces from dragons and gears from a mediocre car set made lego twice as awesome!
