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.

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.

I couldn't actually read that, the writing is so awful

And then it hit me. Lift off. Godspeed. Boom.
A wave of emotions took control, hitting my head like a Lego Airbus 380. Dozens of images started to appear in my head, Polaroids of Xmas and birthdays that I thought were faded, completely fresh, color-corrected, and restored by the damn Lucasfilm for a Blu-ray re-release.

seriously what the fuck

asked this on the spaceship thread and thought I'd try again:

OK, need help. I used to have a couple lego style toys. I don't think the blocks etc were compatible. They were major ships (naval and civilian) that were in a smaller scale than most lego things. A destroyer was 6 to 8 inches long and it came with a small helicopter. Anybody know the brand? It seemed almost fancier than lego. Any ideas?

Also, the "studs" had a recess unlike lego. The ship models were only four studs wide. The bows of the ships were fully formed with a bow "cap" that would have the name of the ship.

Anyone??

― Spencer Chow, Tuesday, 18 August 2009 16:51 (sixteen years ago)

figured it out! TENTE.

― Spencer Chow, Tuesday, 18 August 2009 19:00 (sixteen years ago)

how are they quality-wise? I can't believe none of the knockoffs are able to get close to lego-quality. it's just plastic right?

― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 18 August 2009 19:02 (sixteen years ago)

The bricks need to be made to an accuracy of three thousands of an inch.
