Anyone ever had and played with a Lego set when they were younger/even still to this day? :wacky:

I used to have a racing set with 2 cars that came along with spectator stands and pit crew station. I remember I used to just blast that set apart and do whatever the heck I wanted --- so in the end I ended up with weird tanks and space ships and whatnot.

Legos are such great toys. It definitely brings out the creativity...and/or inner psychopath in young people. :D
 
You really did make a lego thread :D I still can't believe I sold mine :sad3:

But yeah, I've always had loads. When I was little I had a town set, a fire station, a police station and a castle. I've now got a big box of lego pieces which belong to all of those sets, but I don't think any of them are complete any more :hmmm:

I used to love lego, and I still do, but the Harry Potter sets I sold on ebay went for over £300 and I haven't played with them in a long while, so part of me didn't see the point in keeping them any more. However, I'll always keep my favourite set, my lego aeroplane, which I do believe is the only set I still have all the pieces of :D

Ahh, this thread makes me feel like a little kid :ryan:
 
Oh, I was a big Harry Potter fan back when I was approaching the end of my primary school years. In fact, I think I collected more of the Lego Harry Potter sets than any other.

I still have the Hogwarts Express set somewhere - probably caked in hazardous amounts of dust now. I built the sets, then just kind of left them there to display. I never really had much of a reason to play with them that much or to disassemble them. I think that's sort of a problem with sets like these where you build the product it asks you to build. Once you construct them, you just don't want to take it apart and do anything more with it, whereas it's different with the Lego for younger audiences - like the large buckets with multi-coloured pieces designed to be used to build anything.
 
I still have alot at my grandparents house where I used to play with them all the time. I was a fan of The Bionicle series in Lego. I still have alot of those built. Now my little brother plays with my lego set at my grandparents house :hmmm: He doesnt break them though.
 
i loved playing with lego, i used to build planes and boats and cars, it was great fun to one so young. so many times i build little planes randomly and throw them throught the living room, and then wondered why they didn't fly.

i miss being so young and innocent, i used to build all sort with them, and whenever i got a new lego set, i never used to follow the instructions, i would just build.
 
Oh yeah, I love legos. Don't care too much for the duplo ones, but I'm sure most of us started out with those. But the classic lego sets are my favorites. In fact, we'll be receiving some of my brother-in-law's huge collection of the classic sets soon (medieval style). My husband and daughter are also a huge fan, so we'll often sit around in the living room and just build legos for a few hours. We also like to go at Downtown Disney since there's a lego store there, though it's very pricy. But when we can afford it, we'll take a small bucket and fill it up with lego pieces, since customers are able to choose individual pieces for themselves. Just grab a handful of this and that, and voila, we're set to build Peter Pan's hideout!

Sadly, I don't have my collection anymore. I guess you could say I kinda took them for granted as a child, even though I loved them. Had I known that I would still miss playing legos as an adult, I would have saved them for my children.
 
Im 24 and i still own lego! And i can honestly say im not ashamed of that, its a brillaint toy, builds dexderity, imagination, creativity its the perfect toy because what you can do with it is endless
 
yes, i loved lego.

and also...:hmmm:..k'nex? i think it was called that. we used to make car thingies out of it then crash them into each other until they broke. it was so fun :sad3:
 
Lego is absolutely brilliant. I can't remember which sets sets I got, but I do remember having a massive bucket of it and I would just make the things that popped into my head. Making space ships and having epic battles was so much fun. :sad3: I would still build stuff with it now just because I like building models etc if I had some.

The only things I didn't like were the really flat green bits that were used as grass. I don't know why but they annoyed me. And also, I hated looking for the bits I needed. I always saw them a million fucking times when I didn't need them. :rage:
 
Rofl. The grass pieces were really bendy and annoying. When you try to lift them up and it has stuff on it, your creations just fall apart --- so maddening. :rage:

Lego is coming out with architectural themed sets. I'd be so excited if I couldn't just make little foamboard models of them now for architecture class. :8F:
That being said, I still think the idea is neat. Introduces people to famous buildings and allows them to build a (kind of) similar model to the real one).
 
My brother and I have thousands of dollars worth of legos. Seriously. Mostly Star Wars sets, but when we were younger we had all types of stuff. Loads and loads o' legos. I still get them occasionally and love building and re-building. I've also been to Legoland in California. Good times. If only they weren't SO damn expensive...
 
Lego can stil to this day keep me quiet for hours...unless I stand on the stuff. Then I'm effing and blinding....

I used to pinch my younger brothers all the time and just sit and build houses and windmills for hours

Never really had many sets, the only one I recal, was ones with a bin lorry... i didnt really see the point in those kinds of ones though. The bucket with all the peices got the most use
yes, i loved lego.

and also...

Click to expand...

the bro used to have that as well... that the metal stuff? Though it was no good when Gary swiped a piece for summat or other work related and it meant we couldnt make half the shit. this one farty piece and it was bastard vital aparently
 
I never was a huge fan of Lego but I still really liked it. What got me crazy with Lego was the Bionicle series. Shame that that the series ended. I still have them. I get a little emotional when I take them out and look at them. I went from the Bionicle Encyclopedia to Wikipedia to learn more about them in my younger years. Good old days.
 
Oh god *still has way too many legos for his own good*

I've got a ton of Bionicle, some Star Wars, and right now, taking up a good deal of floor space; is a pirate ship and trading post/island complete with secret doors, multi level towers/ramparts, docks, catapults, and even a full sized shipwreck stuck up in a tree.

It's awesome.
 
I had a fair bit when I was younger. I had sets ranging from pirates, knights, cowboy and indians, aliens among other stuff. I remember I would get pissed off when I was building a tower or something and I ran out of a particular colour. I enjoyed building random vehicles and racing them with my friends.

I almost had the whole set of the original Bionicles back in the day. I remember they kept me quite entertained when I had to stay in the hospital for a few days.
 
I always wanted a Lego set when I was younger.

We had something similar to Lego, except the pieces were much larger and there were no little men or anything.

My parents didn't like to buy us anything to expensive, so we always had to go over to the next door neighbours (who always seemed to get everything they asked for) and play with their Lego. >.<

Haven't played with it in the longest time though. The last time would have been around year 3 maybe.
 
Of course I did. My dinky cars weren't complete without my lego, which allowed me to build a great fucken metropolis. And at day care, my buddy and I created the best things. Then again, him and I were probably the only two there who actually knew what they were doing since we both got piles of lego on Christmas/our birthdays.

If it weren't for moving 20 times a year and losing a whole bunch each time, I would probably still be building shit.
