Poll: Lego

[Arkfeller]

Y'know, I think you left out http://www.brickfilms.com/

... But then I think that comes under animation.

I want to get some lego now. Megablocks is also good but can be really dodge though Lego still takes the cake.

WHO WANTS TO GO TO LEGOLAND?!??!!

I'd love to see the American Legoland... we've had one here in Denmark since... I honestly don't know, the 80's sometime, I used to go there with my parents all the time when I was a kid. I almost drowned in a marsh on the way there once, but that's a different story. It was my favorite funpark back then, and I have many fond memories of it. I can only imagine what the American mentality of Bigger, Better and more Shiny can have done to it, but I'm sure it's loads of fun.
LEGO is one of the things I can honestly say makes me a little proud to be Danish, and I'm usually a very anti-nationalist cynical pseudo-anarchist kinda guy.

Yes! Definitely yes. I used to be so jealous to my brothers because they had tons of Lego blocks and I didn't have any... Luckily though my uncle bought me a packet as well for Christmas so I could have my own Legos as well. It was so awesome and I kinda wish to get this new set I saw on the TV a while ago. Legos are probably one of the best toys ever made.

We had a huge box of LEGO. My brother and I were never bored.

 

[linchowlewy]

Lego is awesome. I still got most of my old sets.

Heh, LEGO has just turned 50 this year.

I love LEGO, has a lot of it and still buy it, although mostly the Star Wars and Castle variants.

I just have to point you all to these two webcomics that uses LEGO:

I love Lego - hit the legoland windsor park at least once a year. I buy lego for myself and my daughter when there. I have Lego Darth Maul, and the minis of snowspeeder and AT-ST on my monitor at work. Most of my Lego was in Ireland, so went to my nephews. I loved making big wheeled vehicles with doors to drop out buggies and detachable cabs that were flying machines. Lately I just build the creator sets.

Lego sets can sometimes survive moves if they're in a box and cushioned with plenty of blankets. Congratulations by the way on the upcoming baby. Get them hooked on lego early! It definitely helped me build creativity as a little one.

Hm.. That's true. Maybe we'll get lots of cushy bubble wrap and (most importantly) keep the sets in well labeled boxes by themselves. That was our biggest mistake in packing the first time. Didn't label well enough. With as hard as I looked for that X-Wing we better not lose any pieces!

And I don't think we'll have any problem hooking her on Legos. My guy is really excited about building them with her (and playing Lego Star Wars with her).

I absolutly love LEGOs. It's like saying "Here are some bricks, build anything you want." I even made a copy of the Diablo 2 box once, but took it apart. Its like real life MS Paint.

 

[Brokkr]

I had forgotten how much fun I used to have with Legos. I had also forgotten how expensive they are. You can't find many of the kits for under $50.

Edit: There is a Star Wars Millennium Falcon that you can buy for $500.

I thought Lego was more creative back in the 90's, there seems to be too many customized pieces nowadays.

Sometimes, imagination is more fun.

However, we have Lego Star Wars, Lego Indiana Jones, and Lego Batman..... So where's my Lego Lord of the Rings?

That seems like a brilliant idea. Recreating the Balrog scene with lego would be so much fun but the ability to build Minis Tirith would be epic. Who needs imagination when you can build Middle Earth?

 

[Zallest]

Loved Lego as a kid, hate them as a adult now.

My little brothers have legos and i step on them while in my socks all the time and they hurt, also selling them isn't fun because people always want specific sets that are not in stock. What ever happen to just plain old legos where you create your own unique creations?

Legos > Mega Blocks

[Baonec]
