Personally, I love Legos. Ever since I was a 3 year old I use to play with Legos, and I still play with them! I see a bunch of amazing stuff made out of Legos like Cars, Space Ships, even Spongebob! Does anyone here make anything out of Legos or even likes them in general? And if so, what is the most amazing Lego creation you have seen?

I wish I had the imagination and spatial skills to make my own designs, but alas, I don't.



I wish there wasn't such a high demand for legos, they are too expensive.

That is very impressive! Did you make it yourself or did you get a set and make it?


I designed and built it myself. I kind of loosely modeled it after real fire trucks (mostly fficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=wmFuUMq5AcjziQLfxIDoAQ&biw=1280&bih=905&sei=ymFuUN-HLcPHiwLWyIGIBQ#um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&tbm=isch&q=2009+pierce+fire+trucks&revid=1836855317&sa=X&ei=52FuUMWcGKjmiwKH6oGoDw&ved=0CEAQgxY&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=d954a5fd7d3178a5&biw=1280&bih=905">2009 Pierce.)

I was really happy with how it turned out... Now I have to build a new fire station, since it wont fit in the old.

I recently made a riot shield for a minifig, quite simple but i am very proud of it...
I dont really think of what im going to make with legos, i just put together pieces that are outside of their boxes.

Nice! It looks very professional and looks like it could be sold in a Lego Set. I look forward to seeing you new work sir.

Hey, that's pretty good! I actually like it better than the Lego firetruck kit version...

Although the two really are similar!

This is an old set. I can tell by the wheels this is a old set. And what I don't like about most model trucks like those is that they are one passenger! Either these minifigs are fat or the Lego company is jipping us. XD But yes the previous truck was better. =)

Thanks! I'll upload some pictures of the new fire station. It's about 40% done, it's coming along.

My truck originally started out as a ladder truck (like the one you posted), but I couldn't get it to look right.

And what I don't like about most model trucks like those is that they are one passenger!


I never liked that about Lego. I was able to cram 3 guys in my truck xD.

You can build almost anything with legos. Its creativity.
but aggressive people tend to DESTROY them

Legos are great. Except when they have my Eggo. Then I don't play nice with them.

You can cram as many as you want in there... you just have to make sure the back of the truck is hollow!

Do you think you can you build any of these trucks?

And of course, you'll need a place to put them all...

That's my motto... If they don't fit, you make 'em fit.

I might be able to handle the wildland engine at the top... As for those other two, I don't think I have enough of the right pieces (I barely had enough to finish the truck I got.)

I'm working on a new station right now actually. It's not as cool as that one (I would build one like it, but like above, I don't have enough of the right pieces), but it should come out good. =D

Yes, lots of custom pieces seem to be involved! They also seem to use a fair bit of stickers and labels, which do enhance the visual appeal of the piece, but don't make it any more or less impressive!

I want to know where they got that apple tree on the left. That is one of the strangest custom pieces I've ever seen!

Anyway, when you finish your station, don't be afraid to show us! =)

I like the first truck, it has that off road feel to it. I like that. =)

Guilty! =D


Dido on that. I destroy Legos like Godzilla destroyed Tokyo and I am proud of it! =)
