Seriously, how do we not already have this thread?
I've noticed more and more, that a number of members are particularly interested in Lego, and the various different themes that it has. Plenty of members seem to already have a reasonable collection, and I seem to see at least one product a month in the 'Things we bought this month' thread.
I plan on getting home from Uni in a month or so, going straight into the loft and getting out all my Lego.
Now, the key sites is really:
Lego.com
Alongside that though, you have LegoLand.
As I see it, there are quite a few of the subsets of Lego that OcUK users would be interested in:
- Lego Star Wars
- Lego - DC Universe - Super Heroes
- Lego Harry Potter
- Lego Technic
- Lego Racers
- Lego MindStorms
- Lego MarvelSuperheroes
- Lego Power Functions.
Anyone who has been out of touch with Lego for a few years will remember a time though, when Lego wasn't so pre-made, and the limit of your lego making ability was your own imagination. This is still true today though! It's a great creative tool.
Perhaps one of the greatest achievements (beyond that at LegoLand) was that of James May when he built a Lego House in 'James May's Toy Stories'. This has unfortunately now been demolished...
