The LEGO Thread

Ok, ok. We've all played with them. And if you haven't, you ought to be shot, or drug out from under your rock. Those wonderful little bricklike things that stick together. I'm 17, and I'll admit, I still play with legos, occasionally.

With this thread, I want you all to discuss your innermost thoughts and secrets about legos, admit you still play with them, or even post pictures of legos. I may build something today, or cheat and find a pic off the internet. Also - do you ever do anything odd with legos? I was thinking it might be fun to make my very own Psychotic and Jojo and make them go on Lego adventures...

I honestly never played with lego, Sorry :(

I used to like pulling the heads off the lego men.

I used to play with lego heaps when I was younger. It was lots of fun :) I don't get a chance to now because I don't have any anymore and my younger cousins don't seem to be into it. But I do remember it was heaps of fun when I was younger.

I played with legos as a kid, but I never made anything that wasn't detailed in the instruction booklet. I don't know why, I'm normally the creative type.

I recently dug up my lego tub and made some pencil holders. I gave one of them wheels because nobody has ever tried a pencil holder / lego car hybrid.

i loved lego, in fact i still do, i used to like to build ff7 stuff out of it, :choc:

Er... if you ever make your own Jojo and Psychotic adventure, Jojo'll be kicking his arse, right? ;)

I love legos xD I used to always play "house" with them, make up characters and have lots of drama ^_^ I don't have legos right now but I wouldn't mind getting some ^^

Lego is good. You can make ANYTHING.

Here's one i made earlier :choc:

I used to play with Legos but I was never very creative. I always followed the instructions the booklets gave me and did almost nothing else with them.

and Dingo Jellybean is a Lego fiend. I can't wait until he sees this thread. o_O

Milhouse! :D I liked Legos, but I preferred Knex.

Here's are some screens of the a new Star Wars Lego.

I bought a lot of Lego when I was younger, and my favourite would have to be my Treasure Island set. I made a little fort in the middle of a Lego lake, and I surrounded it with little Lego palm trees. It was really quite excellent.

Legos are only the coolest thing I ever did before about 8th grade. (Then I was into computer games) I had a TON, mostly all the old classic stuff like Space Police, and the old pirates and Imperial Guards. Ya, those were awesome. The new ones suck balls, though. Like Harry Potter Lego sets??? WTF??? Back in the day, it was your job to make up stories for the Legos.

Anybody subscribe to the Legomaniacs club or whatever it was? With the monthly magazines and stuff? That was awesome, too.

exactly, when i was young i had the entire knights catologue of lego and had something like 50 different men all dressed in armour and they all had individual names and backgrounds :choc:

Oh, I loved 'em. If this thread is still kickin' next weekend, I'll post pictures of what I made all those years ago. I never had the heart to destroy what I built. XD

Oh I'm quite the opposite. I built a ton of stuff and just totally demolished it. Like I had the space shuttle come crashing down through the town, or the pirates destroyed the El Dorado and left no one alive, or ... you get the picture. I had to dismantle them and try to hide them when I moved out, though, because I couldn't take them here.

thats the same with me, i once spent 3 hours building a huge robot-type thing and demolished it 5 minutes later to build something else :choc:

I loved lego. Damn I wish I had some right now ;_;

Lego was brill. I liked the roadworks set the best, space one was VERY cool also. I'm getting tempted to buy a set now. Must...resist...

Damn all this makes me wanna play some lego's, and all I have are those big one's 2 year olds play with. (I once made an airplane with them, but it crashed)

Legos rock. I haven't touched them in like three years. They're in the storage area connected to my closet. I've had desires to get them out and build something out of them, but I'd have to move *way* too much crap to get to them.

I used to have a big box of lego, i'd make fighter planes and go karts with it then i'd fight my little lego men against eachother.

At one point I made a lego strategy game, but I never got the chance to try it out.

I never did get into the whole Lego thing.

I don't really know why, I just didn't.

That's funny though :D

Legos are still the best toy you can ever give a child. I still use mine occasionally. I recently build a lego torture dungeon and a lego nightclub complete with DJ booth which had turntables. Yes, turntables. That's how ace legos are.

One of these days I should get around to making a FF themed lego something or another. Maybe the temple of chaos or something like that.

I'm scared :(

Lego is our master....I mean Lego is fun. I still have mine. I have a vacuum box full of them! I hated taking theme apart. I was a perfectionist too,i made sure it was all one colour, or there was a pattern, no randomness. I was subscribed to the lego club thing too. man I had it bad...*goes to room and plays with lego*

I liked the Pirate set and the Space set. My friend and I also built a town.

OMG! I'm not the only one that ever tried that? After far too much inspiration from FFT and Star Wars: Epic Duels, my brother and I made a map with walls and structures and stuff. Then we made classes. Finally we made a deck. We only made two class decks before we become completely overwhelmed and frusterated with the idea...

sigh, those were the days. i've been thinking, i really must make a Jojo/Psy lego scene and write a story about it. Expect it in the next couple days.

Before I extol the virtues of Lego, there's something I need to say:
I notice this a lot, and it makes me cringe. The plural of "Lego" is..."Lego". Not "Legos". Calling it "Legos" makes tearduct-equipped kittens cry.

Right, Lego.

I love it! I have a rather sizeable collection (four and a half tubs about 5"x20"x16" (13cm x 50cm x 40cm)), and I still make things occasionally - last year I went crazy building old sets after I remade a castle for a stop-motion video project.

Ah, good memories, Lego holds, surely one of the best toys - so much fun, and I'm sure it's got loads of beneficial teachings, too, like spacial visualization, following instructions (sometimes :p), and being creative!

...but this new "theme" Lego just isn't right. They seem to be trending towards more and more "special" pieces, which breaks down the whole point of Lego - you can build whatever you want!

Oh, and this is pretty crazy:

Sadly, the main site seems to have disappeared, but a google search for "Lego Escher" should bring up all the different things that were done, which only get crazier.

I play LEGOs when I'm working/in lab class. Building a LEGO house helps pass the time.

Ahh.. the old pleasure of legos. Never forget em. :cry:

I use 'em to make Stop-Motion cartoons

I live close to the original Lego factory in Denmark :up: As well as Legoland, of course! Oh, how I love you, Legoland :love:

But I used to play with Lego all the time. My favourites were probably the pirate set and the castle set. I loved the dragon that came with the castle one :)

LEGO :heart:

I build them, pose them, then spray model glue all over, so I have them around the room. A decoration of sorts.

I once created a sentient being from Lego, he was fun at first but eventually he got a bit big for his boots and went a little mad. Some of his ideas made perfect sense but others where just down right horrible and barbaric, like his love for yellow showers to name one of them.

I wish I still had lego. :(

Your only cool if you dug for treasure at Legoland and got a medal, I wear mine with pride

I used to have a tub filled with LEGO, and played with it everyday. Those were the good days...
