Re: Why legos rule
Over the years I have built:
A klingon Bird of Prey
Another star trek ship
BattleMechs
A very small Spiderman that transforms into a spider
A fleet of starships and starfighters and I made up a universe/background to go with it.(I want to make a computer game based those)
Loads of gun emplacements and turrents
An army of Lego tachnic men with standised equipment and guns(more than 20)
An armadillo
Re: Why legos rule
Lego was my favorite. I had tons of the stuff. Absolutely the greatest toy ever made. That and the original GI Joes. Not those new wanker things but the originals back in the late 60s and early 70s.
A couple of crates of Lego, another crate of GI Joes, and a backyard and I was the happiest kid on Earth.
Back then we knew how to play. I feel sorry for today's kids. They are missing out on so much. Too much watching and not enough making.

Re: Why legos rule
My brother and I had a lot of fun with Legos. We had the Space legos and would build all sorts of things. I used to make cyborgs out of the Legomen by replacing their heads with computer consoles. My dad did not understand that behavior. Later, I discovered something that took our Lego playing to the next level: a 3-foot rubber band that came from a mattress package. We connected this to a board and made a powerful launcher that would send tiny, improvised vehicles hurtling towards more complicated larger ones. The explosions were impressive. Pieces of the ships would be sent all over the basement, along with the individual parts of the Legomen that we placed inside the ships. I had fun re-creating the events of the accident and seeing how the pieces landed where they did. To this day I've yet to see another play set that has focused on NTSB-style crash investigation.

Re: Why legos rule
Once I made an onager out of a chair, shoelaces and Lego.
I worked quite well, but there was some strutural problems (lego bending and the lego coming apart after firing).
I don't want to moan, but where did this S come from on the end of Lego.Saying Legos is like saying sheeps.
