We all like lego's dont we?

Click the link for some lego art!

Very important!

anyhoo, I loved lego as a kid, I would make huge forts then have an army come and destroy it...ah good times.

I love lego. :D

I made this from a site, can't remember the site though.

:D I still have my legos... and I won't let my kids touch them yet becuase they are not responsible enough not to mix or lose the pieces. I just wish they were not so expensive. I'd love to buy the Deathstar set, but $299 (US) is just more than I can justify!

:cry:

I love legos, it is still the most brilliant 'game' created.
I used to build huge castles... I remember I once created something with legos that made it difficult for me to walk around in the room.

Me and my brother once built an entire city with the little blocks.
It had a suburb with a school, a city centre with a hospital and a police HQ. The city also had working lights and a small train (also made by hand) circling it.

All my legos are in the shed
WAH! I want them back now........there baryed under 5 tons of cr@p

:cry: I miss lego's! And Lincoln Logs, remember those? :ok:

I'm not American.

Never heard of those.

However there was something a lot like lego, only more mechanical... sadly I can't remember the name.

It was a lot like modern-day Knex (don't know if you know Knex) only less colourfull.

Ah, I remember the name now, it was Meccano.

Meccano rules, except your hands always had that metallic smell on them for a week afterwards.

We had K'nex, but I've never heard of Meccano

I had Cheva and i think its much better thean Lego.But now,both of them suck with those uber-shaped block.You get 5 pieces for 200Czk(around 9 USD AFAIK)and you cant build anything else from them than whats displayed on box

I am the proud owner of 5 crates of lego at the bottom of my cupboard.

Anyone remember Lego technic? It was regarded by many as inferior to other sets such as Meccano but it was really good and offered lots of versatily. Onew of my happiest childhood memories was when I made was about 5 or 6 and made a machine that would travel back and forth along a pice of string steched across a room, I had hours of fun making that go backwards and forward, backwards and forwards...

Well it was either Tinker Toys or an erector set... :D

I have many lego sets that are no longer available - since they change them and stop selling sets so often. I wonder if they are worth any money?

I like Lego. Technic is good for making army guys that have moving arms and legs.

I had those back in the USA!! nothing like making log cabins!!!

Lego is just plain cool and very good for making a child creative and more dexterous
...o o o and playmobil, look its Red Head Sebbe:

LOL Very funny!

Ah, the smell of childhood.
They all had their own smell - these toys - the old plastic smell of the crates of lego blocks I had in the corner of my room, the more modern plastic smell of Knex.

And I don't think I'll ever forget the feeling of getting up at 7:00 and accidentally stepping on one of those little blocks.

Not only do I remember it, I still buy as much of it as my wife will let me. The Lego catalogs are a love/hate thing, as I dearly love to find out what new sets are out there that I cannot afford. Sadly, being a parent, i do not have time to play with the Lego that I have. Last Christmas, I took the plunge and bought a MindStorms set (more technic than you can shake a stick at, with a Lego microcontroller to drive your robots), but they discontinued the remote control before I could buy it (much wailing and gnashing of teeth).

I could spend over a thousand dollars on various sets, if I could get away with it. I want the Technic crane, the Imperial Star Destroyer (over three thousand pieces!), the Death Star, the jawa sand crawler, the (sadly discontinued) Technic back hoe, the various designer sets, and the list just gets longer.

I have a bunch of LEGO Techinc, LEGO Cybermaster, Meccano and K'Nex stuff built and put on a shelf to "show off" (and gathering dust :P ). Too bad the coolest and biggest sets are so expensive :(
Though the Meccano Evolution sets are pretty cool since you can make loads of stuff with the same set, including stuff from previous Evolutions. I got Meccano Evolution 3 :D

I have lots and LOTS of lego!
I wonder where I put it.

I looooove Lego. When I was growing up, we shared the backyard with our neighbors, who had a son 2 days older than me. We would always build huge cities together. When we saw something on television that we thought was cool (like spaceships or tanks or whatever), we would build it.
I know K'Nex, too, but I only ever had one piece. It was some sort of spinning toy that you could design yourself. There where 4 or 5 possible designs. Anyway, getting it was a dream coming true. I saw it in that store in the city, and i wanted it soooo bad. After about a month, I came home from school and saw it lying on my desk. One of my sweetest memories...

Lego Designer

I have that program for Macintosh. It's a bit too complex for me.
