I think this is cool but not necessarily the best think for kids. The last thing we need is a virtual world to play with legos in. part of the fun was making the contraption work with the pieces that you had.
Anyway I really like the idea. I would like other web sites to let you configure the product and then they would send you a kit. For example a customized deck kit from home depot or a hardware or plumbiung kit from mcmaster.com (one of the best sites for mechanical parts on the web).
I can imagine the day when an entreprenour could build his own product and have a web page selling a product that consists of a few parts from emachineshop.com, a kit from mcmaster.com, and a couple special parts from a specialty shop and wala I have a bolt on whatzit for someones car, home, etc. Minimal overhead - just some time putting together the kits and designing the parts and paying for a prototype (that you could probably sell anyway).
