Be sure to tune into my new video podcast series on itunes coming soon.The Insiders….The perfect podcast for every man, woman, and child in the world! Not only am I the producer but I also play as one of the roles! In the insiders, they’re are four teenagers who have made terrible decisions. the boys had caused havoc on the city of San Diego. This involves getting into organized crime and they start to become better people. With the cops being very scarce it’s up to the “insiders” to bring peace to this ghetto hell hole and avoid the bad of their demons.

What I like about Legos is that by the time you reach the age of 14 they are not my fun to play with but to make stop motion movies and post them on you tube! This is an erected win I’ll tell you what!

Not to mention that Lego is actually Latin for something like ‘I Build’
But seriously, LEGOs bugs the crap out of me…
IT’S LEGO, PEOPLE.
LEGOs are made of lots of plastics, and you can use them to make a wildlife scene featuring Mooses, Sheeps, and Bisons.

I think the most epic win from Lego is that it is, whatever you want it to be. to the uneducated eye it’s just a pile of bricks, but to a Lego fan, it could be a house, a castle, a car, a farm, a police station, an airport or absolutely anything your imagination or creativity would allow you to build, just waiting to be built!

The sheer versatility makes Lego the Best. Toy. EVER

If I still had them, I’d SO play with my old legos. I used to build houses and play house with the little yellow lego people. Good times. Good times.

This was not what the post you replied to was saying at all. It was saying “older than 1980s”, not “still around”.

Yeah, but they’re not the same now. They have all these really specialized parts for everything and it makes it almost impossible to mix and match and come up with your own stuff.

Me and my friends would build our own cars from my huge collection and then have demolition competitions. Some of our stuff was heavily influenced by the movie “Road Warrior” at the time. I remember when there where only a few basic colors and how novel the gray color was when it started. I’m in my late 30’s now and I think my mom still has my bag-o-legos somewhere at her place. We both credit those Legos for my fabrication skills and creative ability. I built cars (1930’s to 1950’s) for a hobbie after that, starting around 15 or 16. She swears I became good with numbers because of them too. I know if I have kids they’ll be playing with them. I got my nephew started on them a couple years ago but sadly I doubt his dad bought him anymore. A childhood without Legos should be a crime.

Yeah! i used to have so much fun building big 3-storey castles, complete with throne rooms and everything! that’d keep me entertained for hours when i was younger!!! I’d build the castle first, then make siege weapons to besiege it and stuff and have epic lego battles lol

I used to make awesome storey castles with lego! and throne rooms and everything. then make siege weapons and besiege it. that’d keep me entertained for hours when i was younger!!!

I always wanted a digital camera, and the software to animate things with Lego… that’d so give it such a new lease of life now!!

agreed. ‘Lego’ is to refer to the toy as a whole is it’s the trademark (eg. My Lego set, I used to have Lego, Lego is ace etc.) and use either ‘Lego sets’ or ‘Lego Bricks’ in other situations if you wish

Seperated by a common language, and a great big bloody ocean too thank christ (Al Murray, EPIC WIN)

mmmm – while I agree Lego is a great toy, it’s hardlyl 1980s – I played with lego sets in the 1960s and I believe they toy was actually invented in the 1940s.

I made a three axis mill out of Lego and a small tool which is sort of like a dremel. Lego mechanisms aren’t very good a fine motion, so I used long levers to turn 20 cm of motion into 20 mm of motion in the workspace. The thing takes up about a square meter of space, for a 20mm x 20mm x 5mm working volume.

All of that lever advantage was wasted, because the bearings in the power tool are so loose, that the largest error is the jiggling of the bit. I will look for a better tool to run the mill head, and then I should be able to mill polystyrene foam with a tolerance of about 100 microns, with the only non-Lego mechanical piece being the tool with the 30k RPM bit.

The Lego RCX and NXT are cool toys, for kids like me, who are a day older than the president elect.

Yes I do still have the Lego bricks from my youth, but I don’t use them. Some of those bricks were first used by my older siblings, and are over 50 years old. Lego has been continuously improving the plastic in the bricks and the old bricks are not nearly as good, mechanically, as the new bricks.

I got a Lego set for Christmas, because my wife loves me.
