Do you like playing with those awesome studded plastic bricks? Do you like playing with the little mini-figures? Well post about it, whether it's your favorite sets, mini-figures, or even a bit of random trivia about Lego's.

I am 27 years old and I still have my legos in my closet. I will pull them out from time to time, when I'm home alone.


Yeah mine are in my closet too. But I don't touch them. They were fun but I like challenges and later on I found out even the complex sets were not as fun to put together.

I was never a big fan of building intricate structures with Lego bricks (my artistic skill is appalling) but as a kid (or a younger kid) I always enjoyed the Space Police series with the massive detachable spaceships and all the transparent green glass pieces.

There's a new MMO Lego video game coming out called Lego Universe which I'm keeping an eye on. Cuts the costs of buying physical Lego bricks I suppose.

I was never a fan of all the bionic things that used electricity. They were fun to play with, but my dad was the one constantly purchasing huge parcels stuffed to the rim with complicated components and then taking days to build something.

I'm amazed at how they managed to do this thing.

I love legos. I've never had access to larger sets (or sets period), but even the basic blocks spur my imagination. In some weird way, they actually helped create my story telling skills. I used to make large, intricate stories of just random 11 year old musings, that lasted me years and never got old. I'd create very simple space fighters, bombers, and transport ships. I can't imagine what I would have been able to create with more than just standard 2x4x3 and 2x2x3 bricks.

I used to love playing with Legos. When I was 6 - 10 years old I was partly obsessed over them. Always begging my parents to buy me some. Now that I'm older I've gotten over them. They're still nice to play with once in a while.

Well yeah, I liked the sets...
Bionicle was my favorite for a time, I had many. I made some epic long (somehow lasted one month) story about them.

I also loved those "City Gaurd" set, I think they were called so. There was cops, ambulanse team, fire fighters, coast gaurds etc.

And for y'all sceptics, great things come from Scandinavian too, take Ikea for an example!

I never was a fan of Legos nor did I have enough money to invest in a set of them. Go figure.

I like Mega Blocks.... *gets pelted with legos, some separated, some blocked together*

....kidding! This one time, I had my interior walls covered with a layer of legos that had columns to support the structure. This took like 20 tubs of legos that I owned, which is crazy, even for me. But that was a fun 4 hours.

I love legos, I used to make massive space fleets out of them based on colors. It was dang sweet and the little 1x1 pieces would be footsoldiers, ahh the sweet, sweet minaiture carnage. i tried making sets but didnt have patience enough to find the legos i lost. But still a 40-60 ship battle with everything from small fighters to massive dreadnaughts and ground tanks dang i loved it all.

That Escher replica always fascinated me.

I like Mega Blocks....


Mega Blocks minifigures were pretty cool, they were much more manoeuvrable. In fact, they'd be absolutely ideal for those people who make Lego stop-motion animations.
