Need Toy Suggestions

I have a five year boy that is the kind of kid that takes no interest in toys that do his thinking for him. He?s very inventive; he finds tape, empty cups, sticks and straws more interesting that most of his toys. He also loves water, what it can do, how it flows through/past obstacles, etc. And he also loves weather. He has even said he wants to chase tornados one day. :eek: When toy shopping for him you can?t just run down to Toys R Us and pick something up. So, I am asking if anyone has any suggestions of toys or toys stores (brick or online) that stock interesting toys for a creative child. My Google searches have only come up with a few choices.:idontno:
 
There are great erector sets designed for that age. The instructions are such that they can follow them (you probably have to help the first time). It is a great skill building toy.

Go to lego.com.
 
there's probably a Learning Express in Atl.

.....if it ain't broke--don't fix it. Let him continue to play with the boxes, sticks and cups--maybe give him a small tool set and give him an old (non electric) alarm clock or typewriter to take apart and put back together in another way. Won't be long before he'll be hitting you up for the $1,000 solar-powered I-Pod.
