Statement:

Lego bricks are the best kind of non-electronic toys ever.

I loved Lego when I was younger. It was only Lego for me. What is your opinion about Lego?

Screw Lego. Tinkertoys FTW! :cool:

I always felt Lego was too restricting. Sometimes I wanted to do something and could never find a small enough piece. If it was a free-form cloud that could change into the shape I desired instantly, it would be awesome though.

army man when i was young

I continue to build tanks, cruisers, weapons of war, and fighter planes of Lego to this day, despite my advanced age (well, sort of advanced). Then I use them to blow each other up. It's a good stress reliever/causer.

Lego is teh shiz. Nuff said. Werd.

I loved lego and mechano (and still do)

As to your advanced age, perhaps you'd like to adopt my own personal philosophy on this:

Nobody ever grows up, they just develop a more sophisiticated taste in toys.

Advanced age? Aren't you still a teenager, mate?

Screw YOU. LEGO toys own all!

i didn't really like lego. my brother had hundreds and kept all the colours separated in massive boxes.

when he annoyed me, i'd mix them up. that really bothered him

I liked legos. I still have a lot of legos sitting in my room.

I really liked my space set legos. I used to have hours of fun staging battles between ships and having them blow eachother up. Then I'd put them back together and start anew. Occationally I would take them all apart and see what new designs I could come up with on my own.

Legos are great.

I also liked lincoln logs, but I never owned any of those so I only got to play with them when I was at someone's house that had them. One of the ladies that used to babysit me had a big bucket of army men that I liked to play with as well... I'm feeling so nostalgic right now. :)

Lego does not beat Tinkertoys. Hell, it doesn't beat Lincoln Logs or Mr. Potatohead. And none of them beats the best of 'em -- the green and khaki army men.

No offense, but that just looks wrong!

While I was typing this, there was an earthquake, Mag. 2.8, at central California. How do I know? It's a Mozilla Firefox addon, and it's way cool, cuz http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/c/c7/Duh.png!!!!

Plastacine, lego and brio were all cool. Mechanix was pretty good as well. But you were really in trouble if you didn't have the right piece At least with lego you could work around the problem.

I mention brio because I distinctly remember making a 'ski-slope-esque' jump out in a garden in devon once. You should have seen those trains fly.

Advanced age? Aren't you still a teenager, mate?

Yeah but apparently above the age of 12 or so people are "supposed" to abandon physical toys for pr0n and videogames. ^=.x&

and I have a whole set of WWII era American soldiers, in 1:45; I was planning on making models of some of the RP battles I've done, but it took too much time and effort, so I never finished it. With lego you just put pieces together and end up with something (and if you're me it's usually good).

No offense, but that just looks wrong!


It's Darth Tater! :D

Lego Star Wars!

Maybe Lego Batman

About the army men-their base is made out of LEGO!
I don't even know what Dinkertoys are! And HOW DARE YOU INSULT LEGO! THEY'VE BEEN AROUND FOR 100 YEARS! THAT'S LIKE INSULTING CRAYOLA! SAME FOR THEM, TOO!

I rest my case.

ROTFL :D I've not heard of anyone sorting and storing their lego by colour before. I shouldn't laugh though it could have been the onset of OCD.
(serious face now)

Call me a messed up little kid, but I loved the nerf and dart guns. My cousins and I used to have full scale wars at my grandma's house.

Did anyone ever play with those guns that shoot rings? Instant cat-hunting equipment right there.;)

A red X. Awesome! :p

It's a white question mark on a blue background for me. This computer doesn't have Firefox, unfortunately.

Still good, but aren't you stealing that image from Catholic Europe's flag? For shame! ;)

That Burger Kig guy creeps me out. *shudder*

Yeah, BK food's much better, with the exception of the fries. That's really the only thing McDonald's has over the other fast-food joints.

No, McDonalds fries are small, bendy, wimpy, and irregular. BK fries are bigger, straighter, and regular.

And KFC, the only thing good there is the Famous Bowl. It RAWKS!

Lego rocks! I loved playing with lego when I was a little kid. I also had these things that were nothing more than little cardboard boxes painted to look like bricks that I loved to play with. Those, knex or tinkertoys made for a very happily occupied me for several hours. I liked dolls and stuff too, but I got bored of playing with them a lot quicker.

My light sabre. Not the other one... :p



Wow...you're sick! :D

just having some fun
what type and that was sick

No, McDonalds fries are small, bendy, wimpy, and irregular. BK fries are bigger, straighter, and regular.

I'm not even gonna go there... :p

That's blasphemy! There's nothing at KFC that isn't delicious! Sure, it's all horribly unhealthy, but it's damn tasty!

Okay, you're right! I once went there and got a huge bowl full of chicken for me, my mama, and my grandpa. Of course, I didn't go alone, we all went, but we didn't eat in.

Both lego and playmobil are my favorites!

Yeah, but they don't have Popeye's in New England. :(

Never heard of Popeye's.

Yeah, but they don't have Popeye's in New England. :(Time to move, then. You need Cajun chicken.

Yeah, but they don't have Popeye's in New England. :(

That's okay- there's this place called Damon's, it's at Augusta, Maine (my home state, I live in Bangor), and it's mmmmmmmmmmm-mmmmmmmm!

Watch out, their burgers are a smite bland.

I PITY THA FOO' WHO DON'T EAT HERE! http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/4/49/MisterTee.JPG/200px-MisterTee.JPG

I'm never moving from Maine! Never! We have cajun up here, too!

Lego is the ubertoy for manufacturing built environments and other artifacts for your other toys to navigate/use/destroy.

Judicious use of tinkertoys and mechano can make up for the rigidity of Lego.

The Tleilaxu were wrong. Lego is the Language of God.

I make my own. ;)

heh. I started one of the best threads in this forum.

Lego was my favourite for a while but then I found action man and the millions of ways to destroy him

...

I got peices they no longer make. Full Door peices that actually open, Swivel blocks that rotate, large flat hinges for making the large items like cranes...



a bitch to clean up, but a fun toy nonetheless.

Lego & Matchbox cars were my favourite toys when I was a kid. I was always happy with when I got either of them for a birthday or christmas present.

I used to play with
Legos
Matchbox
Brio
and toy planes.

Sometimes I would combine them all! I would use the legos to create an airport, the brio can be the airport tram, the matchbox would drive me from my lego home to my lego airport, and well we know where the toy planes fit in. Ahh fun times.

I have been told Warhammer 40,000 are toys, yet I refuse to believe it. It diminishes their inherent coolness.

Fucking famous bowls. And the snackers to. Whoever came up with those two I need to track down and shove a spork up their anus.

Okay, so they are both edible, but I work for KFC, and those two items have been the biggest pain in the ass ever. End of story. And despite working there for as long as I have I still rathe enjoy most of the food.

Lego rulez.

But also model railways (favourites: Rivarossi, Lima, Märklin) and the awesome Brio wooden toy trains. Wow.

If I ever have children, and those children don't like Lego.

I'll make them like Lego.
