    Im going to buy some Lego, lets have a Lego thread :-)

    i cant begin to express how much i love this stuff, i havent played with or bought any in about 10 years but i feel the urge to buy a small set.



    i used to buy sets from the Lego City series around 1995, but im going to get something technical now, and i can pretend it has something to do with what im studying

    I bought a Lego Darth Vader key ring last Tuesday from the Lego store in Bluewater. Could have spent so much money in there, it is the best shop ever.

    If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

    Loved Lego when I was a kid, was into the pirate stuff.

    I am tempted to get the Tie Interceptor though!

    Ages 7-14, sure that won't be a bit taxing for you?

    Not a bad idea to get back into it. I enjoy building with the stuff and now I'm older I can actually afford a lot of it!

    It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt; then it's bloody hilarious!

    I still have the very first Mindstorms Robotics Invention System kit (with RCX 1.0) sitting about 10ft away from me, not touched it in a few years..still complete with all parts tho iirc.

    Would love a day to sit and play with it again lol, used to be so much fun creating robots that could find their way around my house/follow trails etc..especially when you combined that set with some of the standard technics kits

    Favourite was combining the giant rally car kit with the RIS - gave you a rally car that could drive itself around your house

    Macbook, 1.8ghz Core Duo, 2GB Ram, Superdrive
    iPhone 2G 2.0.1
