Im a Lego addict!

Well, picked up good ol' Lego last week, and so far i built two tanks, a walker, a spaceship and a VIP-Transport.

Any of you guys build stuff with Lego? C'mon don't be shy

Guess what? I have 5648 and fifty broken pieces of Lego now.

Yeah...
I love Lego. I've built a podracer (not from those crappy Star Wars packs, just normal Lego), a massive bunch of spaceships/hover tanks (they have to be hover 'cos I only have 3 sets of wheels ), a few Star Trek ships (Star Wars are too hard ).
These days I've lost most of my Lego, but I still use my wee brothers' pieces to built Robot warrioprs when I'm bored.

bah, new fangled Lego is easy. Back when i were a lad we had real Lego that was just Lego and b*gger all else, no Star wars or Bionicle or Harry Botter (hocus-poke-arse) rubbish, all we had was our imagination blah-blah-blah.

In fact I even had 60's and 70's lego alternatives: Penny Bricks (they were ace) Stickle Brix (not so good) and Fischer-Technik (god that was hard)



..you shut your mouth, how can you say, I go about things the wrong way..

I still have that "old" lego - the best thing i saw ever was my babysitter built a mouse trap out of lego (humane mousetrap), which worked.....it worked so well that the mouse chewed through it in a bid to get out, and therefore escaped.

That was the most imaginative thing i ever saw built anyways (by someone i knew that is!), and yes, that was before all those packaged lego stuff.

i used to build all kinds of stuff, i had to make a choice between keeping a huge crate of lego in my room, or getting a computer.

I usually just build war machines. Right now I have a walker(not from a movie) a transport vehicle/mobile artillery and a mobile anti-air/scout vehicle.

Eons ago, yeh, it was fun building houses, and a few other things. Though tinker toys was about as popular then, the early 60's.

Back in the 70's me Mum used to work in a dept. store selling Lego and she used to bring home garbage bags full of the stuff. Course I was completely crap building anything, I was really more into pulling things apart to see how they worked and then not knowing how to put them back together again.

that sounds fun! i love building things, but afterwards, i never roll the cars around or anything (even when i was a young 'un) i never even wanted to take them apart and make somthin new. all i liked was building

Ya once you build something(and it's good) you just don;t want to take it apart. I had to take some of mine aprat when I moved. Then I buil;d a new set(some of them the same because I safely moved some of the older ones in pieces). Then I moved again now they were all broken
