Who likes legos?

[Th3ft]

Did you all know they are apparently hitting 90 years?

Growing up my brother had all of the castle sets. I am so excited that they brought them back!!

Yes

No

[Aerissa_Jade]

My parents always said they were torture devices created to hurt adults who walk around barefoot.

Although, maybe recycling them all into huge blocks to build houses out of would be a great way to use excess plastic and solve the housing problem at the same time.

My brothers liked them a lot, I personally would rather go play in the mud, they were just okay.

[Th3ft]

I love that “rather go play in the mud”! Lol! I know my parents made me use a blanket and the Legos could not go off of the blanket.

[Aerissa_Jade]

I actually meant, that to solve the plastic recycling problems the world has, all that plastic could be recycled into huge lego blocks to build houses... my bad, too big of a hurry while at work I guess.

Yeah, mud and sand was way more fun outside, I'm a very outdoors person... but the blanket idea could work too.

[Th3ft]

I did get that you were trying to solve the global plastic problem I did find it amusing though that it came out as a rework of all the Lego blocks. 😂😂
And that is totally fair! Mud is amazing! I only had a couple times in my life that I had to be hosed down from the amount of mud I soaked up… but I totally get your enjoyment in all the mud and sand. Do you prefer to be barefoot when possible too?

[Aerissa_Jade]

I'm always barefoot indoors, year round... in the summer outdoors if feasible. Sandals are great, in the winter though, boots and stuff for outdoors.

I grew up on farm house so we had canal water, soft sand... and well water. Getting hosed down by well water, freaking cold but worth it... also to avoid getting in trouble for ruining cloths, just removed them to play in the sand or mud.

Very rural, so not like a city with neighbors to bug us.

Lol this reminds me of yesterday, I stepped on one and it was so hurting

[Apple1996]

Hell nah those things are banned at my house

[Th3ft]

I bet what do you have four boys with your husband?

[Apple1996]

Yess I'm pregnant with my 4th boy

[Th3ft]

Oh so yeah five boys technically… I bet legos are bad news.

[Little_Bumblebee]

Being from Denmark and having an older brother, my childhood was filled with lego.

Mostly, I would be my brother's assistant, searching for the pieces he needed and giving them to him and such.

[Th3ft]

Oh yeah! I bet you get them for cheep over there.

[Little_Bumblebee]

Nah I don't think it's cheap, the boxes you buy can get pretty expensive

[MuddyMole]

Lego Technic was awesome, but I wouldn't buy any genuine Lego now.
Since their patents started expiring a few decades ago, they lost the ability to prevent other brands from copying them (not that you can really stop the Chinese anyway), and they just started making more and more sets based on other IPs (which are protected) - Star Wars, Harry Potter, real world car manufacturers, etc. They also seemed to shift more towards targeting geeky/nostalgic adults with more money, rather than children. Consequently, their sets are just obscenely expensive now, and not remotely worth it.

While I also don't really condone the Chinese brands making exact copies of existing Lego sets, many of them also sell their own original sets, and those represent great value, really highlighting how much of a rip-off Lego has become.

[Dnice1]

Love them never got tired of building with legos either

My latest creation, based off a real beach house (apart from the stormtrooper holding light sabers) 😊

[Th3ft]

That’s so cool!!

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I do, very much. Always have. Also have a YT channel about them. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqII-5lQzrGSGPKlMstPIOQ
Will start a couple of projects I’ve been brainstorming next week

[Th3ft]

Oh cool! I will check it out!

[Dinosaursandanime65]

RHAOU

[Th3ft]

Lol! Bro I’m old… WTH did you just say?… 😏😂

[Dinosaursandanime65]

It’s more of a sound than a word. It’s inspired by Diego the cat. Imagine “meow” but with a HARD r

[Th3ft]

😂😂😂

[Dinosaursandanime65]

You’ll hear me say it in a video too.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

rrrrrRHAOU

[Dinosaursandanime65]

It Willa probably take two weeks though

[Th3ft]

That is fair! I mean school is starting soon I suppose fright? Or have you already started?

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I started 2 and a half weeks ago. This Willa be the fourth.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

But we don’t really get homework unless we don’t finish in class so that’s noice. I usually finish before the end of the day. AAAAAAAAAAAAHO (I said AAAHO because that last sentence was SUS)

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Here’s what AAAAHO means/is….

[NathanDavis]

I still have 6000 of my Lego pieces...

never bought a set, I don't like sets and customized pieces

only the classic building bricks... lol

[Th3ft]

Wow! That’s a lot of bricks!

[MCheetah]

I could never afford Legos growing up. I had to use Mega Bloks. ☹

Still, Legos are cool though. The ones that actually still LET YOU build stuff though, and not all that pre-made, licensed BS.

[bubblegunnn]

I do.. played w my nieces

[Shamalien]

Don’t ever fking call it legos, it’s lego, like deer

[Th3ft]

So accurate though!

[DryGermanGuy]

Definitely one of the best and most creative toys to play with! Good times, good times.

[Guy13]

I did as kid but all my creations got destroyed 🙃

[jennifer_bloom]

When I was a 6 year old, they were cheap, you could get a box for $20.00 - Now you have to be an engineer or accountant to have that kind of money

[TheUniqueOne96]

Me.

It were one of my favourite toys growing up.

I made everything from guns, houses, cars and even WWE weapons for action figures.

[DaveJord]

I love Legos, but they are so expense that I don't like them that much.

[Jamie05rhs]

I think I know what you mean. Haha

[DaveJord]

@Jamie05rhs expensive... yeah you got it!:)

[AviatorTom]

I'm still a kid at heart, and live building things with LEGOs. But they are so darn expensive... 50 bucks for a simple kit.

[Shiningtempest]

@th3ft One of my favorite Lego series is Bionicle.

[AsaKyo]

I do, but I suck at building things with them

[DizzyDesii]

As a kid

[Th3ft]

Interesting! I figured you for a Lego player.

[DizzyDesii]

As a kid

[Th3ft]

Lol! Well fair! And actually that does seem more fitting as you aren’t quite the tomboy that you used to be. If I recall correctly.

[DizzyDesii]

But certainly never a girly girl lol

[LavLavLuv]

one of my fav toys when i was a kid

[joeldalton]

I did when I was a child

[TroyDT]

I used to love doing projects with them.

[Cubus]

I used to play with them a lot as a kid.

[Jamie05rhs]

Fuck yeah!!
