I find myself agreeing, kids are just mindless consumers, but don't blame them. The people to blame here are the advertisers. Kids just want what the advertisers want them to buy, hell thats their job, so you can't blame them either. As a parant you must influence youreself on the kid. If you can make lego fun for them then it will be fun and so much better than the computer game they have been wanting for ages. They will learn from you, you have to teach the value of real toys. Helping them create their own imagination; create may even be the wrong word as all kids have it, you must just encourage it. Fine if they are slightly disappointed with their gift this year because it isn't a new computer, help them understand the brillance of a load of toys.
I have no idea what i will get this year for the nephew but rest assured it will something that he can play with that doesn't need a power source.
