<< You know, ulfwald, a PC case made of legs is not a bad idea at all :D >>

Hope you have some great heating... legos are great insulators.

Legos used to be cool when they were about making your own stuff. Most legos now are all custom parts for whatever themed robot/house/location you purchased. What happened to the days when you could buy a big bucket of legos and just go nuts?

Ulfwald, I'll send you every lego I take from my kids after every time I step on one with my feet. You should be able to build a full tower in about a month. Damn those things hurt, especially after having 4-5 reconstructive surgeries on my feet!!!!!!!!

<< I would lose myself for hours on end in a HUGE pile of legos, I used to build trucks, spaceships, cranes, etc. Now if I could just come up with enough to build a computer case out of lego >>



Hahahhaha! That'd be so tight.

I still have a huge box of Legos up in my playroom somewhere... haven't played with 'em for about five years or so now.

<--- wishes he could run home and play with legos...

Yup, I used to play with legos a lot. I liked to build all sorts of construction equipment models with them.

<< Did you play with lego's has a kid? >>
<< Do you mean...Did you play with lego's as a kid? >>

Ha, you're both wrong "Did you play with Legos as a kid?" Thx.


Now, I must say legos are "Best. Toy Ever." However, ultra customized pieces these days do suck. Customized pieces, IMHO, went too far with every thing after the Ice Space series legos, though the 2nd gen Blacktrons had way too many customized pieces, and those predate the Ice series. Does anyone remember the original Blacktrons? Those were badass. :cool:

I spent hundreds of dollars on legos as a kid (that's where all the money I earned from mowing lawns went).

P.S. it's actually "legos" not "lego's"...'s is for posessive.

Oh yeah. I had a few big lego pads that were like 4x4 feet and I had lots of buildings and stuff. Man that was cool. I wish I had all those around right now.

Amen. I'll take the classic Legos anyday. In fact, I've still got two huge boxes of them in my basement. I think I'm gonna pull'em out sometime this summer and introduce them to my niece. :D

Any male who grew up in the 70's or 80's and didn't play with Legos is a flaming homo!:D

Nope, I believe you. My cans of legos are still in my closet. Classic and "techno" or whatever they called the fun ones that had motors and all that neat stuff. :)
