I'm amazed you put so much effort into reviewing a brick.

I'm even more amazed by the fact that this probably is the best review I've read in a good while.

I'll be thinking of you, Hey Joe, the next time I am laying down a brick.

That was amazing. I had no idea there was an entire section of journalism dedicated to bricks. I am going out on a limb here, but you must have been very bored to review a brick. Still, it was a great review.

FANTASTIC! I was thinking of investing these. Will the brick withstand nuclear fallout? it sound quite possible...

Pfft, you bricktards, 2x4's are where it's at. Yeah, yeah, call me a "wood elitist" if you have to, that doesn't change the fact that I'm right.

wow a brick what will they come up with next , maybe they'll come up with something to stick them together anyway the real point is no technology can ever be so important that a brick is not part of it ,you see if you don't mention the basics of building , technology would never have gotten off the ground , learn a trade like building or mechanics the trades are more important than you think

Bricks? I see THE MAN has full sway here. Myself, I'm sticking to sod. You'll see why in a couple decades.

A* material man. If only the topic had been a little more compelling. But then again, we should all try making reviews of puny, everyday, unimportant things, so that we begin to give them more value.

Coming to theatres soon, Tonimata reviews an egg.

I don't know if I agree with you. I think the Haigh is all flash and no substance. I've use the Lindesay model for years, and it has done perfectly well in all areas. To me, the Haigh is just the same thing with more bells and whistles. It was only put out by brick manufacturers to get us to pay more money for trivial features; The fundamentals are just the same as the Lindesay.

I believe they've missed the point entirely, and I'll be sticking with my good old Lindesay for a while.
Typical Lindesay fanboy response. The Haigh is a breath of fresh air in an industry suffering from a severe lack of innovation. Klaussen is a visionary-- he's taken a classic formula and made it not only better, but tweaked it in such a way that it can appeal to both hardcore brickers and casual ones.
If you're a casual bricker, you may as well stick to the King standard of bricks for its quality:cost ratio. It's obviously not the best brick around, but even my grandmother could use it to build a fireplace.

But, if you're a hardcore bricker the Lindesay standard has the reputation and workmanship to justify its existence. Just look at the massive catalog of high profile structures using the Lindesay standard. The Haigh standard, while a novel idea and a fine bit of craftsmanship, just doesn't fit in. Particularly in this current economic climate.
Now you're committing a fallacy in your argument, stating that Lindesay is better because it is Lindesay, and has proved it's mettle in the many structures it is included in.
The Haigh lacks this reputable reputation, but that's because Lindesay fanboys such as yourself refuse to give it a chance to show it's true power.
The Haigh Brick was made purposely hard to design for because then only SERIOUS builders would use them.
Just give it time.

Wow... and you're in review wars. I'm going to make a statement here and say that you will be very hard to beat if you can confidently review a brick of all things... and make it entertaining...

Nah, I'm really not in it to win it. I got an idea for a review and thought the arena would be a pretty good place to experiment with it in. I think my past arena enteries have been a schizophrenic drug-addled note to post-nuclear America, a note home in broken English and a Cartesian dissertation.

Believe me, a monkey has more chance of winning.

Lol, that's very humble of you. I'm looking forward to your review now. I'm still thinking about mine. I know what I'm going to do, but it's an old game and I don't think I own it anymore... Hmmmm... Looks like memory is going to be my saviour here...
