My brother got that for Christmas sometime in the late 80s.  I built it while he was out of the house.  He's still pissed off about it.

it was a sad day when they got rid of the spring loaded cannons a couple years into it

I had an Erector set and some Lincoln Logs. Same for my kids in the 1970s.

Your kids played with the toy version of Lincoln Logs. Not the same.

Doesn't this hobby get damn expensive?

My godsons are just now getting into them. I bought some for Christmas and was floored by how much they cost these days.

My wife and I collect them.  It can get pretty expensive, but something to keep in mind is that the rarer sets appreciate in value if you keep them complete and in good shape.

You had the actual logs that Lincoln had. Don’t lie.

My kids love them. My daughter has grown out of it for the most part, but my son still likes them. He went to see the LEGO 2 movie. He said it wasn’t very good though.

Pikers!  My friend Ben just completed a 65,000 brick scale model of the Texas state capitol building. It is going on display at the capitol on August 26th but you can check out the video here:
 

 

That’s pretty damn cool.

I still have this one in a box. It was partially dismantled by a cousin and I never got it back together. I'd have to locate a copy of the instructions, and probably some missing pieces.

I got this for my 6th birthday ('91).  It was a prized possession for awhile.  

My cousin had a lot of the Robin Hood/medieval themed ones.  There were some bad ass castle sets.  They did a pretty solid Old West set up in the mid 90's as well.  Right before I started losing interest.

So how was the @Christymack blowjob?

I built this lego/craft table for my kids a few years ago.  It's made of IKEA trofast cabinets on either end, and 3/4" birch ply on top, with 3/4" pine ply on bottom.  It has cutouts on either side so the kids can roll up their chairs on the sides, and it also has casters underneath to roll around the room easily.  (I'm also currently selling it if anyone's interested, kids have outgrown it and are moving on)

So, anybody messed with the new Lego Super Mario sets yet? They look like something that could be pretty cool to mess with if you either have kids of an appropriate age or are single and have time and money to spare.

Tinkered together this poor man’s A10 the other day while the boy was building. Led to some father son time exposing the eldest to the superiority of the CAS platform affectionately known as “the warthog” and some YouTube viewing of brrrrrrr and stuff exploding.

Good time was had by all.

Nice. Reminds me of the little spaceships I used to build out of ice planet legos so that I could hide them in our Christmas tree growing up.

Not official Lego, but don't care:

pretty accurate, from the train and batters eye down to the trash can hidden from view.

I bought the 007 Aston Martin last summer and just now got around to it. Finished it up last night. It was really intricate with an ejector seat, machine guns that rotate out from behind the headlights, and pretty much all the moving gizmos that M put in.  Of course as I was moving it this morning James had a small run in with Oddjob, and now his Aston Martin needs to visit the body shop.

Took the boys to legoland this past week. What an awesome park. The mini town section was a spot I could have spent hours on alone.

My inlaws bought my son a Mustang for his 16th birthday (they are 1%, I am not) so I figured I'd get him one, too.  This is what I will be giving him tomorrow:

One of my sons has several of the Porsche Lego sets. He loves the 911. Yeah he ain’t getting one of those IRL. 

I’m like yall. My son loves those cars in real life and the legos. He better get a damn good job or be happy with the legos I buy him.

Stupid question, did that BumbleBee transform or did you have to rebuild it?

Bumblebee transforms. I have Optimus prime that I got as a gift a few years ago and just bought the shock wave one a few weeks ago when it was released. Haven't built the shock wave one yet as I have to keep it a secret since I bought one as a Christmas gift for my brother.
