Mmmm. I gave all of my original lego stuff to my older cousin years ago. I wish I had kept it... Gives a chance to start anew though.

The holy grail; completely synonymous with childhood desire. I can't think of any single thing I wanted more than this as a kid. I cut pictures of this set out of every toy and Lego catalogue that came my way, and plastered the wall of my playroom with them.
I had quite a few Legos, but they were all accumulated from very small sets over the years, as we were very, very poor. I was well aware of our financial situation and knew it was only wishful thinking, but still, wish for it I did. Eventually it was discontinued and began to disappear from the magazines and catalogues. Almost a year had passed since I had come to terms with the impossibility of owning one, when Christmas day arrived and I found it waiting for me under the tree. My dad had found the set at Goodwill for $30. The box had obviously been opened, but the inner bags had not, and though a few key pieces in the display window were missing, after a quick call to Lego, replacements were sent to me free of charge. Best Christmas I can remember...

Time Police was also bitchin'

A really cool set with a great story to go with it.

Legos have their own thread?! Well they should!
Legos are the single greatest toy EVER created. Yup, I said it, best ever.
Legos are the most significant influence on me to pursue a path an education in mechanical engineering.

I had a ton of Legos. Gave to my son. I used to have space Legos and I would build the x-wing fighter. Now my son has all those Star Wars Legos... I uh, mean 'we' have all those Legos.

Hehe, it's been an interesting week to have a thread like this. Today my girlfriend and I went into her parent's attic (New Years Day activity) to see all her and her brother's old toys. She had a bunch of barbies, and her brothers had some old GI Joes and Sega Genesis games.

I also found a good chunka Lego stuff there. Apparently they had some stuff from the early 80's all the way up to the Star Wars stuff at the end of the 90's.

I also got some of my own memories at my parent's house today

Yeah, I had a bunch of Legos from later childhood/early teens. I still have them, II moved them from 2 small carboard boxes into a clear larger plastic bin. Somehow my gf and I ended up playing with them naked.

Care to elaborate?

I had an Erector Set and Lincoln logs when I was kid (mid-'70s), but as soon as I discovered Legos, my interest in the other stuff vanished. I could easily spend a whole day building stuff with Legos. The sets I had as kid (Castle, Space, Expert car/engine stuff) I kept tucked away in a box and kept with me in hopes of handing them down to one of my own kids. Last September, I gave them all to my 8-year-old daughter who has proven to be a growing Legomaniac. We have a great time building projects together.

couldn't afford legos growing up

It was the reality of the situation, and a pretty funny reality at that.
How often has anyone ended up hanging out naked, with a girl, playing with Legos?
It was truly a first for me.

I usually just end up getting "leggo my _____"...which is kinda close but not quite.

bassteban · #78 01-02-2013, 12:12 PM

*trying to compose a funny involving building a naked girl out of Legos... *

Ziltoid · #79 01-02-2013, 12:22 PM

If this thread keeps going on, I won't be able to resist and I'll break out my lego boxes.

Yeah, absolutely. You're the only person here who could make Lego time sexy...

...I can't believe I just wrote that...

...anyway, I got a few old sets from my youth and early teens in the mail as part of my gift certificate. I'm gonna build some creative space stuff - likely as a model for my next game's main ship.
