Lego = classic, until stepped on with bare feet, which renders them infinitely DUD...at least until the swelling goes down, then they are once again classic.

Legos were the thing that united all of my toys as a child; thanks to legos, I managed to incorporate GI Joes, Transformers, hot wheels, Gobots, micromachines, etc, etc into one gigantic massive all-inclusive toystravaganza. My parents still have never forgiven me for that particular mess.

Classic. Search: Everything I build with them. Destroy: Everything you build with them, because I need those pieces, fucker.

Millar (Millar), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 20:45 (twenty years ago) link

I usually destroy whatever I build within ten minutes of building it.

i had tons of lego as a kid. my first was one of those basic early 80's sets. then i got the big spaceship from that time - the big one, but not the GIANT one. I think it was called Starfleet Commander or something. the one i wanted for the longest time and finally got was the Blacktron command base or something. it was this huge black space station built on two of those 12" plates and has this thing that opened up and a spaceship flew in and out of it. I've spent years of my life on lego.

Surely all of you fans have seen the Lego Factory.

I've been trying to build Mies' Barcelona Pavillion but I'm stymied by the lack of decent windows in the default brick set.

Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 18 September 2006 02:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I should tell my brother about this.

I can't believe it. Nobody choked on a real block after this became available yet? You'd expect hundreds to be dead by now.
