Hehe, have to claime my lego back from my brother who don't use it any more and build some for myself

[GNEP]

I do have to wonder what these people could acheive if their effort was, erm, a little differently directed...

Pretty cool nonetheless...

Give me enough pieces, and I'll build you nearly anything in Lego. I'm 22 and still loving Lego like when I was 3.

I was a huge lego fan when I was small...

LEgo was great - but mechano was better, for the ability to build things - when you were 8!

actually, it can stiull be handy - a friend uses it to build various testing rigs in his workshop......

Lego was great, but it cost too much.

Have to agree on that.

You kidding? I used to enter my hometown Library's Lego contests; I won in my last year of eligibility (I built a model of a Kaman Husky "eggbeater" Helicopter).

But my experience predates Technic...it was "Expert Builder" back then.

Now, in my Hometown, they have a Lego Themepark. This is now the ONLY reason I would move back to California.

My mothers family is from the Gravette area.
From what I've seen of Bentonville the last few years, soon you might want to move back to California to get away from all the people in the "Greater Bentonville Metroplex"

PS when were Leggos invented? I don't remember them from my childhood. (50's)
It was all Erector Sets back then.

I remember getting some in the late 60s, and I think they were fairly new then.

There was only one grey base plate, about 5x10 inches in size, upon which you were supposed to build a house.. I think there were the 2x8, 2x2, and 1x2 bricks, and maybe a 2x14 or something like that. The bricks were all either red or white. They also had basic wheels and the bricks to stick them in, and roof pieces, one kind of door, and two kinds of window. I don't think the makers had any idea of how far Lego would go back then.
