Hi guys, well as a 25 year old guy it's not often that you get to mess around with toys again but the opportunity arose today. My old folks have just moved house and asked me to look after a few bits and pieces whilst they moved, i had plenty of room at my house so duly accepted, 5 of the boxes they left with me were full of lego.

I decided that seeing as i had a free house today i thought i would get re-aquatinted with the child inside of me, i remembered that i had this set about 14 years ago and wanted to see if it was as cool as i remembered. Well 4 hours later i have this finished article, 4 bloomin hours! I'm sure it didn't take this long when i was a kid, granted the peices were spread around 4 boxes and i took a walk down to the village, but still!

So anyone else got in touch with their inner child lately?

I love lego.

Can't wait till my son gets old and I can buy him loads and loads.

I'm going to play with him and build loads of cool stuff!

This is in about 6 years though. He's only 6 months old :(
 
Lego rules. You can even now play with it for hours.

Kids' toys today suck warty hairy buttocks unlike a lot of toys from the early nineties/eighties.

I was never into the whole making stuff from kits of lego. I prefered lego as it should be; plain blocks making random buildings and stuff.
 
You may as well buy a model Ferrari if thats how the lego version looks, to me its all about what the OP did, making something out blocks that can be used over and over again, not just for one model.

i agree, making buildings and space ships was much more fun*





*i didnt/dont have the patience for making trucks!
 
I've now caught the bug and have been looking online at some other technics sets, the mechanical bulldozer looks immense! Would it really be that sad for me to spend 50 odd quid on a children's play thing?
 
Oooo im getting the Millenium Falcon lego kit soon (probably friday) its like 5000 pieces!!!

For the record Lego is AWESOME!

I think the only things I made were guns and handgrenades.

The guns were amazing mind you, a hand grip that was moulded to your hand (as moulded as lego can get), barrell, magazine... bit worrying.

Then I'd end up playing some sort of shoot-em style game against my brothers inferior weapon.

We'd end up disagreeing about who shot who first, and we'd end up smashing each others guns against each others - ending in tears most of the time.
