Legos! (Nostalgia)

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.

There really was nothing sexy about it. Sexy-time was over, and there we were without clothes, and for some reason, she wanted to play with my Lego. :D
 
HAe you guys heard of brick arms? My 11 year old brother is crazy abut legos and he builds WWII style battle grounds, jeeps, half tracks, tanks, etc. He then buys german guns and helments from brickarms and he makes videos of them fighting, lets just say he is really into them. It maybe my fault. I am 23 and he inherited a hug tub of them from me, I still have another huge tub he wont ever get. I plan on giving them to my kids. Its a huge blue rubbermaid tub safely tucked away in my attic.

I use to play Lego ten hours a day sometimes.

That's crazy. Never heard of it until today. Super real weaponry for Legos?

My 13-yr-old was kinda into those for a bit, but he's mostly moved on to Minecraft.
More importantly: You, sir, are from Oregon- it is Legos. :D

Haha I only wrote lego as the Brits here were getting all serious about it, I call them legos and have for years.

Here is brickarms

Here is a video of what people do with them, my brother is really into this stuff and talks to me at length about them. I just learned to smile and nod;)

 
My son and I just caught a severe case of Legomania. I just scored a huge bin at a garage sale, and we're having a blast daily. I never had them as a kid, and never really saw the appeal. But now, my son and I are having so much fun with our Legos, I wonder why they didn't appeal to me as kid. I guess better late than never.
 
I loved my Legos as a kid. I was always building stuff and still have a huge tub of them somewhere (I hope!!!)

Coincidentally, in elementary school, the first time I hung out with a girl we played with Legos for the majority of the time haha. Not naked then because we don't know anything about anything, but many years later we got naked;) No Legos involved, though.

When the two come together it is utter bliss. :p
 
Im not gonna read five pages but can we all agree modern legos SUCK? You don't need to build anything anymore. In fact, legos now has been mainly selling its stuff based on their lego figures, they're remarketed over ten yeas ago and are now uberlame. Everytime i find myself in a toy store i have to bitch about how legos have sucked for about twenty years. In my days, sure, it wasnt JUST the original square blocks anymore, they had more specific pieces, but only to help you build something neater and elss rectangular. That was fine, then they decided kids didn't want to spend all this time actually being creative, look at any modern lego set, it looks like you can build the whole thing in like 10 steps. I believe legos peaked in the mid 80's.

Anyway did someone provide links yet to those lego fan sites with people's crazy amazing creations? A few years ago i spent days on one of these. It also made me feel like I suck at legos but eh... Google that ****.
 
I played a lot with LEGO as a kid too. I really liked the space stuff.

I got aware if the dramatic turn LEGO took once video games, tv series and play set of franchises like Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Pirate of The Caribbean.
