He and my friends used to have big battles that would last days, and just consume one of our bedrooms. Good times, but building the bases was always my favorite part, as I used to love taking pieces that were already partially made and joining them to something completely different, then making random bits that went on top etc.

I once made a base that used a Dragons (MegaBlocks) Castle, the Chamber of Secrets from Harry Potter, and a Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtle base to train my men. It was epic.

I love Legos still. I've got so many of them and remember the fun I had playing with them. The largest construct I created that I can remember is an 11 ft tower, it didn't last long. It was at my friends birthday when I was little and we had a contest to see who could build the largest thing out of Legos in 5 minutes. I won but when we were going to take a picture it toppled over because it was windy outside.
The most elaborate things I built were ships. In those I would use every type of Lego, Megablock, K'nex, and Bionicle parts to make them.
Now I want to make something again, but I stopped after what happened one time while I was playing with Legos.
In our old house, my sister made ceiling-scrapers, that, of course, made it all the way to the ceiling.
It wasn't that impressive, really. We did have six-foot ceilings, after all.
Well if they could stay up longer than mine did then that's good. I mean since it was a race I didn't really make a good base so it collapsed.
Man, we had solid wood floors- perfect for this kinda stuff.
As I recall, they were mostly made of Duplo, though, and she pretty easily made a stable tower that held up pretty well.

I was really small, though, so I don't remember too well.

When I was young I built quite a chunky copy of the Parthenon from Athens (in case ya weren't aware)out of lego. But that just wasn't good enough.. I had to go one further and made lil additions such as a tv dish here... A lazer cannon there.. I Star Wars-affied it!

But I have made several things with Technic pieces over the years.

*sigh*
I miss just sitting around fussing with those pieces and making random stuff.

I get bored sometimes and I use the legos i've got in a trunk and build stuff (don't judge) because there's just nothing to do.

i once had a lot of time and a load of legos, so i built the biggest fortress i ever made. it was about 2m wide, 1m long and 1m tall, made entirely out of black legos, and with catapults and a small army inside (i had a lot of legos, but not that many soldiers). then, i used whatever parts i had left, combined them with my cousins leftover bionicles and made 1 big mech and some smaller ones, and let them fight out their differences.

unfortunately, shortly after the mechs breached the left wall with a kamikaze action (me throwing one of them against it), i fell, and bellyflopped on the fortress. fortress destroyed, pointy tower in my stomach, surgery, scar, and the greatest fun i ever had

My friend and I once built some very large swords out of legos and had an epic battle. By the time it was over all that was left was part of the hilts and several chunks of blade spread across the floor. It was a good battle.

I can't laugh because it's too late and I'd wake my housemates. Instead I just spent the past minute practically crying into a pillow over the thread title. Well played good sir, well played.

Anywho, I write a lot, and when I was younger I used to block out scenes, settings, characters etc in LEGO, because I had a lot of LEGO and a lot of time. I made a lot of very impressive structures, including what was effectively my own version of Hogwarts for a fantasy school series I was writing. Five stories, featuring trick walls, hidden staircases, all the classrooms and dorm rooms I could make, a massive courtyard with six inch high doors leading to the main castle. The most impressive thing was that I could break it down into its component rooms and snap them back together again. Five floors, all detachable from each, with about ten rooms per floor.

But that's not the most impressive.

I made a city out of LEGO. And I mean a proper city, with multiple buildings, including a police station, fire station, school, television centre, radio broadcasting thingy, lots of small houses, a skyscraper/office block. It was for a superhero comic/novel which I'm still in the process of writing after four years (ideas keep drying up), and it was complete with all manner of superheroic things including two separate villain lairs and three superhero bases (One is a plane though, so it's separate). Effectively I built Metropolis and added the Batcave. Some of the buildings were basically just empty, with only one floor filled in, or even none for the small houses, but it looked bloody impressive.

And then I had to break it down when I went off to uni. And I didn't take pictures.

Haha, I came on here expecting...well, you know.

OT: I never really used lego and stuff like that. I used to LOVE bionicles though, I got one every christmas and I think I still have most of them somewhere.

Well... This one time, I pitched a 12 man tent...

OH you mean that... Nope, nothing!
It's rather awkward when someone gets under there and realises what's going on, isn't it.

OT: I usually just made houses with my Dad and made the spaceships the box told me to make, then again mine was all Star Wars. Then I'd use my room and the small alcoves inside it as bases and make my bed covers into a makeshift cave. Once I'd done that, I'd put Bionicles in the cave and have them fight the Lego men.

Man sick days used to be awesome.

This comes from the guy who did "Sex: Top or Bottom?"

Have a cookie, sir.

OT: K'nex Roller Coaster and Ball Factory. Took two days each, but were both awesome.

Awkward choice of words but my favorite building toy was K'Nex when my brother and I built this HUGE rollercoaster that actually worked.

Mr. Stereotype here liked building tanks, but they were always very complex- proper steering, gearbox, working guns etc. I also remember a tower crane I built, which lifted the immense weight of... my cat. Who was sat in the basket, fast asleep.

I remember my tutor in 6th grade told me a story of when he didn't know what to do with all of the lego bricks he had so he made a cubic meter sized "Borg Cube" out of all of them.

OP, I love you for the title, thread topic and your avatar.

OT: I used to have an insane amount of legos. My friends and I would play this game where we would take turns building a fort for 15 minutes. The other players spent that time making something, anything, to try and destroy the fort. We then threw our creations at the fort as hard as we could. It was all fun and games until somebody got hit in the eye with a flying lego piece. Then it was fun, games and hilarious.

I'm very proud.

Perhaps I could use ball factory in a thread title, if you don't mind?

I c wut u did thar!


I LOVED LEGOs as a kid, I still do but I don't have room in my apartment for ANYTHING. So now I play Minecraft. Same thing, but I have to build the blocks myself while fighting off other minifigs, and there are no pivot pieces.

I miss LEGOs...

I loved [and still love] LEGO. Personally, vehicles always held a greater appeal for me than buildings. I've always loved things that look aerodynamic, and there happened to be a lot of spoilers and the like lying around. That said, I used to build some islands worthy of JJ Abrams. Hidden bunkers, radar arrays; all of that stuff.

I was pretty chuffed when my girlfriend bought me two small pirate-themed sets a year or so ago. The way to a man's heart etc etc.
