Seemed to be a lot of people who wanted Legos for Xmas in another thread, which prompts the questions, what did you build with your legos?


I for one, used to build a petroleum tanker (Like in the Road Warrior) and proceed to drive it all over the livingroom and destroy it. Then rebuild and destroy, rebuild destroy (seeing a pattern here?)

The other thing was a "huey" helicopter. Never crashed that though.

So, what did you build/destroy?
 
Legos

I, more often than not, built spaceships and space-bases. I had tons of Legos and would build very intricate fleets of ships, with fighters and transports, etc. My favorite was to build little attack ships.

When I built bases I always got very involved with the exact dimensions. That it would have defenses all around and landing areas for the ships. For me the fun was in the building more than playing with them after.

I had a collection of smaller sets and never really got into building big themes that seem to be more popular today.
 
My favourite lego thing is my Christmas Father Christmas on a sledge , brought out year after year .......going to be passed down to my boys as they get children .........sad or what !!!..lol.....:)
 
I was real anal even back then. Everything I built had to match color wise. If on one side there were three blue pieces, there had to be three identical blue pieces on the other side. Used to drive my Mom nuts by spreading Legos all over the floor looking for that one piece that matched.

I agree that it was more fun building (and destroying) them than actually playing with them. Unless you count destroying them as playing with them...
 
I built a coffee table outta lego and sold it for £300 in a furniture design shop in Chelsea ;)
 
I hear ya exlimey

I hate to think of the large chunks of time spent looking for that one gray piece I needed. If it wasnt symmetrical(depending on design) it would drive me nuts.

Outsider....using Legos to further your own Capitalist goals...shame on you. Hmmmm, what if I built....
 
I was really anal retentive about the symmetry too. I would build massive towns and cities for all my dolls and such to live in. I remember me and my cousin working on those hours on end and god help you if you destroyed one.
 
my sone loves leggos...dont know what half of the shit he builds is supposed to be...but damn he has fun doin it:D
 
Holy shit, a lego thread how could i have missed this?????

I will build anything and everything with lego's

I wonce built an 8 foot tower.... when i was 13 hehe the I ran thought it head first :D

I will build cars, planes, even robots, and no i don't use the kits to do it... I'll use any old lego's and build stuff... cause there are other ways of sticking them together then the troditinal way. so you can make angels with them too


weeeeeeeeeeeee lego's :) :)
 
I every Lego I ever bought for my son & will never give them up. I used to spend hours building with my son. His favorite things to build were mammoth space stations using everyone of his bricks. One of the funniest things I ever saw was he & his best friend with Legos spread all over the living room, they were both 16 at the time. You are never too old to build with Legos & with the Technics stuff, you can build amazing stuff.
