I'm sure the majority of us have played with these plastic parts sometime in our lives, you can build toy planes, toy boats, toy houses, even basic scenery for your wargames. So, if you want to share an old photo of some lego models, or just chat about it, this is the place! And yes, I have changed my avatar from a Wraithlord to a miniman (for lolz). And to start the discussion, i found this clip...
Those were the days. I remember them well... *sniff*

That is awesome, and yes I still have my Lego it is in a large bin mixed with Lego samurai, knights, future soldiers, modern civilians, etc, etc... I much prefer the old sets when you could get castles, medieval Japan, pirates, cooler dragons and that "Indiana Jones" rip-off "Johnny Thunder". I haven't touched it in a while I'm going to have to build my own custom (yeah I prefer making my own stuff then following the instructions) set.

I've bought all my lego since becoming an adult. I know more adults who have it than kids. It isn't electronic and instant gratification enough for most kids.
It's mine - stuff the kids, they can get their own.
I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

The ninja set was officially the best theme ever. Why they didn't re-release it is beyond me. I LOVED those swords that came with the ninjas. It was the greatest theme ever.
I love legos. I've been playing with them for most of my life, and currently, I have a big old trash bag filled with legos in my closet. NOT for throwing away
LEGOs ruled my life as a child. Just loved them. I used to build WW2 vehicles and weapons platforms all the time. Pretty fun re enacting battles and such with multi colored quad 50s and shermans
You know..I've never made a Lego tank before..If I want a vehicle, I just make planes and hummers....I should try to make a leman russ.. How hard can it be?

Ok, a tank or a plane I can understand.
How does one go about making a Bl*w J*b out of lego?
("Hummer" is a slang term for a sexual act, as well as a huge guzzeline powered vehicle).

I, at age 14, still have at least 400 pounds (weight, not currency) of Legos sitting all over the house. I tried to fit them all on one shelf. Woke up in the middle of the night to see that the shelf had snapped, taking some drywall with it. Fun times, fun times...

I love my LEGO, but my mum's friend's kids are getting to that age where they want to play with it, i have to watch then destroying a model then put it back together when they leave only for them to come back and destroy it again.

That's pretty trippy, mind you that doesn't stop me from thinking that guy has too much time on his hands.
