                  I used to like Lego when I was a kid. I can see a box of it from where I'm sat.
                  ...
                  *builds*
                  I also had Duplo, which was big Lego for dumbasses who could put lego together.

                    We had mindstorm in school, but imo it wasn't that great as everyone said it would be. Just a pile of software controlled bricks ><

                      Lego is better than most of the **** they sell to kids these days, then agaibn that's about as difficult as beating a landmine victim in the 100M sprint

                        I have a tub weighing probably around fifty or sixty pounds full of Legos. It's sitting in the attic right now. I even have most of the instruction manuals, I'm just too lazy to rebuild everything, and I have no place to put completed models.

                          I think the best thing to come from Lego is the Lego Star Wars series. It's a bizarre combination, but it works so well! I know it's the best game-of-the-toy-of-the-film I've ever seen!

                            Back in the oldschool times I always wanted one of the Wild West (I don't exactly remember its name and unsure if it even had one) series.. I mean the big ones like Fort Idunnowhat or Sheriff's office etc. O_o

                                Legos are freaking awesome. I've been playing with them since I was 5 and they're still fun.

                                  I've still got a model of a Snowspeeder that I made myself out of the pieces from a TIE Fighter. It was one of those big models, and I think my aunt paid 60 or 70 USD for it. I built the TiE wighter, and after a while it kinda just fell apart. I think my favorite thing to do with lego bricks is to make models of stuff like vehicles from Star Wars, or cars like the Lamborghini Reventon. I made a working car once too out of some lego Technic pieces and a bunch of regular lego bricks. The stering system was a pain to make though.

                                  I still build things on occasion, but not very often. I usually use K'Nex instead because it makes sturdier and easier to manipulate/observe models. It's a bit more limiting though. I've got a model potato gun prototype I designed stashed somewhere. I used to have a 5 foot long plane before I had to take it apart.

                                  And I always wanted one of those mindstorm sets. They were too expensive though.

                                    I plan to get me a display case at some point in time that i can put my completed models in. Eventualy, i want to get a big, open space that I can set up my massive collection as a huge insalation art piece. One that would not be for sale.

                                    Edit: but there is this one set I really want. It a big Imperail Star Destroyer set. The completed model is something like 38" long, 22.5" wide, and 18" tall. It also costs about $300.

                                      Yeah, I saw that in a Lego magazine a few years back. I think it's the biggest model they have for sale yet. I wouldn't spend $300 on a Lego set though, not unless I had a crapload of money to throw around.

                                        LEGOs are awesome. Don't see myself buying them anymore, though.

                                          LEGOs are the best. I still find myself tinkering with half-built models sometimes!

                                                      Lego is a franchise WD, you can't just buy five of them.

                                                          I know I'm holding onto my massive collection. That way, when I have kids that are interested in Lego bricks, I can show them what all the old people talk of Bionicole and Fort Legoraido was all about. Then I'll give the bricks I have to my kids to add to their own collection.

                                                              like in the BK commercial where the kids don't think their parents know Snoopy.

                                                              But I agree. If and when my kids become interested in Lego's, I'll give them my collection. If I'm done playing with them. I may just keep them for a generation and give them to my grandkids when I'm too old to play with them. They'll... help keep my dextarity up and Carpaltunnel Syndrome away. Yeah, that sounds like a good excuse.

                                                              *digs out a small pack of legos and stars building with them*

                                                              And a tid bit a read about legos, there are aproxamitly 350 million possable combinations to put six eight stud bricks together...or was it billion?

                                                                            And seriously. I actually have the old original gameboy that my older brother gave to me (and a game genie for it!). Someday those will be collectors items.

                                                                            Funny how Beanie Babies never turned into profit though XD. We wasted so much money on those.

                                                                                I have like, three huge boxes full of misc. leggo stuff. They were fun when I was younger, but now they take up so much space! x.x

                                                                                And seriously. I actually have the old original gameboy that my older brother gave to me (and a game genie for it!). Someday those will be collectors items.

                                                                                Funny how Beanie Babies never turned into profit though XD. We wasted so much money on those.


                                                                                Yeah, I think we still have some lying around somewhere. They're probably worth quite a bit by now. I mean, it HAS been 6 or 7 years since the ones we have came out.

                                                                                And honestly, just like our generation was far more skilled with videogames than our parent's generation, our kids will wipe the floor with us. Expect to see 7 year olds beating Pokemon Blue in under 30 seconds. :(
