Legos?

[Element Zero]

Anyone else into Lego? Most of these are my kids collection but a few choice pieces are mine. The grey bin on the side has about 7 sets in various stages of (re)construction. Repurposed my late best friends book case that held a ton of his sons (about my boys ages) books and magazines. Gonna have to start building Lego shelves to display things properly pretty soon

I could build all day long. Would love to get LOTS of other things but, MAN they get expensive quick.

I love playing with Legos...but I have a couple 6-gallon bins of random peices..... some from my stash in the 70's and a bunch of stuff from my friend. Dozens and dozens of kits all thrown into bins his kid no longer wanted. No actual kits with directions that I could assemble. The one kit I bought that I have is the Saturn V but I have yet to build it.

i love legos, my kids like em too, but they won't sit for hours on end creating stuff like my brother and I did as kids.

Awesome! Only the little yellow tub and the 2 smaller tubs are “random bits” boxes. Sometimes my 8 year old wants to experiment and build some weird creations. The Saturn V is on my wish list for sure.

I still have most of my Legos that I got as a kid/teen, plus some of the Star Wars sets from the past few years. Love me some Legos!

my son has a RIDICULOUS collection of Legos. They are super cool - and so much more cool factor than the Legos I played with as a kid.

Same. Although my 8 year old built everything that’s train related.

Somewhat related, as a kid I had the opportunity to go to Denmark and visit the OG Legoland. It was an amazing experience.

Oh I bet!

Was REALLY into them when I was younger (had some from the Insectoid and Res Q sets), but boy did they get expensive fast. Got even more pricey these days, so every time I've thought about dipping back in I've had to back out.

I credit the hours spent playing with Legos for my aptitude with furniture assembly

Oh yeah, but I was never into building sets so much. My son was really into it for a bit, but not so much now. I still have pieces from the 70s. Every once in a while I'll pull them out and build some giant architectural structure.

I am into it a wee bit, I own 100s of sets and have a 126 Baseplate city in my garage.

The Legos thing came a little late for my childhood. We had to get by with Tinker toys and erector sets.
My building obsession was Aurora and Monogram model kits. My bedroom was festooned with all the Universal monsters and hot rods.

I love Lego! I finally dove in with the Star Wars Landspeeder and have been building since. Expensive hobby and it can take up space...so I try to be selective. OH SNAP NEW BOBA FETT!

Bass-related: some of the MOC builds by fans are full bands with stage setup. The Tool set is killer!

Been digging the botanicals/ plants stuff.

Have a succulent garden to bring to work for my desk.

Been getting robot the micro blocks as well. Lots of fun for desktop stuff.

Recently been getting into Legos. I've bought a few of the big ones. Vespa, road bike and a few others. At first I was thrown by the high price but now, I look forward to what they come out with next.

Probably unpopular, but Legos should be squares, double square rectangles, and imagination.

 

[6thplanet]

Definitely grew up with them, the Technics were awesome. Fast forward, I'm a car guy, my wife got me the 911 for Christmas.
It was so much fun to build, resparked my love for them. Then I found the same car in Gulf Oil livery on AliExpress.



Recently I picked up the F-40.

That would require LOTS of imagination with all the cool things available now. Certainly entitled to your opinion.
