Duplo's? Mega Blocks? Something foam instead?

We want to get Sam a small set, any recommendations?

Mega Blocks have been a huge hit for DD since age 1, we also really have loved the B.Zany animal blocks from Target - colorful, fun shapes, and a neat soft plastic material (but not plastic). The B.Zany are more traditional blocks and not lego-like. Oh and WalMart has a decent set of wooden traditional blocks with letters and numbers. We're big on blocks here.

We have both megablocks and the wooden ones. I will say the megablocks get played with more. The wooden ones they like to just dump on the floor so I usually hide them somewhere!
