the lego, the superlego and the lid

I don't know anything about Duplo, Matt - never had it as a kid. Is it a kind of Lego junior?

― James Ball (James Ball), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 13:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, Duplo is just like Lego except that the blocks are much bigger and easier to take apart so that they are suitable for smaller kids to play with. As far as I know they still exist, I still see Duplo sets in the toy store.

the entire cosmos in fact fits inside a single unit of monoplo

Legos were and are expensive? How weird, I never knew.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 13:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I remember a phase where I'd get given second-hand lego sets for christmas and birthdays. They were all from my cousin, whose parents thought was now Too Old For Lego; and my parents couldn't afford to get me new sets.

― caitlin (caitlin), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 15:03 (twenty-three years ago)

legos are the perfect toy

― A Nairn (moretap), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 15:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I loved Lego.

Until that fateful day...

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.

Has anyone here been to Legoland?

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 20:08 (twenty-three years ago)

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-three years ago)

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.

― AaronK (AaronK), Monday, 23 August 2004 14:47 (twenty-one years ago)

i work for the company that makes their online catalog

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 (nineteen years ago)

I should tell my brother about this.

Wow. I think this is the most engaged anyone has ever been with a question I've asked on ILE/ILM!

I also stumped up the £2 and ordered most of the pieces for around £9.50 - there were a few pieces that didn't appear on the Lego website but its a present for someone with a child who has Lego so I am hoping that they have some pieces they can improvise with.

Again, thanks.

― djh, Tuesday, 7 July 2020 22:30 (five years ago)

Cool, and somehow I got the price right even though I couldn't even build the flaming thing myself!

At least I know what I'll be attempting to build in Minecraft this weekend.

― Two Meter Peter (Ste), Tuesday, 7 July 2020 22:50 (five years ago)

you may think I'm getting too obsessed with this cool building, I'll only start worrying if I attempt to build the thing out of my mashed potatoes and garden fencing.

― Two Meter Peter (Ste), Tuesday, 7 July 2020 22:54 (five years ago)

here's how I did it:

― avellano medio inglés (f. hazel), Wednesday, 8 July 2020 02:05 (five years ago)

Yep.

I used a 2x2 corner tile around the base of the laundry tower, rather than a 1x2 and a 1x1. Saved me about 10p. 8)

Where's good in the UK for buying Lego?

Wanted to buy this as a present but Lego aren't shipping to the UK at the moment, and it is double everywhere I have looked so far.

― djh, Monday, 18 January 2021 18:43 (five years ago)

i'd offer to pop to westfield's lego shop for you and have a look (given it's about 10 minutes away) but i guess they're non-essential and closed.

― koogs, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 15:25 (five years ago)

Ha!

Yes, non-essential in the scheme of things.
