Lego

[Elite 8,791]

My daughter is Five and has recently started getting those Lego Castles/princess type sets. They are quite difficult especially for a 5 year old so I have built most of them with her help but I really enjoy it. Wouldn't mind doing so big warship or something more adult based. We any Lego fans on here?

There is an entire Land by my house here - send your wife over and we can preview it.

In the same boat. So far put together a Frozen castle and the Rapunzel one too. Think I had the more enjoyable time as I'm not sure how kids are meant to play with it once finished. They are like display models for your 80s cabinet or sideboard.

 

I did have my eye on the Lego Architecture set but its near £200 and all white which I find a bit racist.

My nephew is into the technical Lego. I helped him build a truck with a crane thing on the back. Big thing once finished. It was fun to help but not something I can see myself doing.

Which part?

[stringvest 12,816]

I have huge boxes and tubs of it in the loft from when the kids were young.  I'm keeping it as a present to myself when the Alzheimer's kicks in.

I went to Legoland once.

It was fucking expensive and a bit shit

Bienvenidos a Florida maricon.

Got given a Lego Snow Speeder in the Secret Santa thing, I think because I have taken part in Star Wars conversation leading up to the new film coming out. What they didn't know was that getting Lego for Christmas was a much bigger nostalgia rush for me, shaking the box, hearing that clatter, putting it together (over the course of a couple of conference calls in this case). Ace. Huge part of my childhood.

 

Lego based on other intellectual properties can, generally, get to fuck though. Pirates or Robin Hood or get out.

 

Probably got about 20 of this fucker:

You're gonna need a bigger boat.

The best thing about Lego was canibalising it and making your own stuff. I built a fort once and staffed it with Batman, Robocop, and a squad of plastic American soldiers from the market. Formidable.

Oh haha now I get the message. Nah, I'm the type Columbus actually wanted to meet. It's just the Americas got in the way

Ah, but how will you remember you put it up there, then?

 

Ditto. We have boxes and boxes of the stuff in the loft, that includes some stuff from when I was a kid. The sets were fine but as others have said after having painstakingly made them it was difficult to break them up again. The best fun was making your own things

I didn't know they did bakelite lego...

That's the problem. I don't mind making them but don't fancy using them as a showpiece!

Just dont stand on the bastard stuff

[VladimirIlyich 7,539]

I had a dog once that kept latching on to peoples body parts,called him Leggo.

[Robbo29 120]

made loads of Lego stuff after crimbo, little lad got a fair bit and the little girl got some of the pink girly stuff, not as good to make

I got some Lego off someone as a Christmas present.

 

It's a pretty cool kit.
