Where are my LEGO people?

[Whitecloudminnowguy09]

I LOVE LEGO. I mostly am a huge DC fan. Fun fact, watched the LEGO movie last night, does not get old lol. So lemme see ur builds and mocs, or just lego collection in general, hope there are something LEGO lovin people here, cuz it has a special place in my heart. I have a LEGO collection, a city that covers a table, actually, not to big, but ya know. And I have billions of parts and such. Lemme see ur LEGO!!!

Ps, excuse the white speaker on the table, and the blue water that has no tiles on it, a lego creation is always a work in progress!! lol

Well, I used to be a lego person when I was still a kid. Nevertheless, I do think it's marvelous how much lego has evolved since I've played with it.
Btw, recently I've watched the lego batman movie. Pretty late after it's been released. But I have to admit that I wasn't into it to watch it as my expectations of it was really low. But I have to admit that after watching it, I was positively surprised of how wrong I was...

When I was a toddler there were no Lego kits. We had tinker toys. A prototype to the Lego phenomenon.

Yep. I love Marvel too lol. Both, but DC more!! It is dinos vs heroes rn in the city. I change it a lot, to be a normal functioning city. And a chaotic scene

I used to be into legos when I was a kid, but now that I am an adult, I have put away childish things ;-)

Part of my Lego collection from a few years ago. I use aftermarket bricks from target (because they are cheaper) to build basic structures then put the sets on top of that.

The Gingerbread House is one of my ideas that Lego adopted and turned into a set. It took me 6 months to get 1 set and several years to get the 5 sets. This was due to it being one of their best selling items in years. You had to backorder it and they sent you an email when your set was ready.

You're never too old to build things with Lego. Let your imagination run wild and build your dream home with big fish ponds and fish tanks that run the entire length of the loungeroom. It's great for people who have trouble getting around or don't go out much and can be used to spend time with the kids. It also helps young people develop dexterity in their hands and fingers.

Yeah yeah. People here have a lot of hobbies - playing with cars, reading comic books, gardening, reading mythology and fantasy literature, old movies, etc. All of us here keep fishtanks, which I have often been told is kind of childish. We all need our escapist hobbies - if we didn't, we wouldn't be on a fish forum.
I hope I never become the kind of adult who thinks creativity is childish. If I can combine the curiosity and questioning of a child with the experience, and critical thinking of an adult, I'll keep having an interesting life.
I don't do Lego as I fear my fish will step on them.

Both my sons were into Lego as children in the 1980s, then Technics Lego in the 1990s. The younger one now has an almost 3 year old son, and he complains that Lego isn't what it used to be. He says the kits they had could be used to make multiple different items; the current kits can make just one.

Yeah, u ever seen the end of the LEGO movie? Remember the dad of the kid who was playing said, that the way he was USING Lego was different then kids, more of a display. His son said, but dad it says ages 14 and down or smthn like that on the boxes, his dad said, that is JUST A SUGGESTION LOL he said smthn like that. LEGO can be for all ages, it is good for ones mind to be creative, just like aquascaping a fish tank!!

Agreed!

So true, and LEGO is super expensive now too, the new Avengers tower is like 400 bucks or something like that, and most sets are not as creative, but I still like to buy the older ones. But the daily bugle is a masterpiece I will say.

We played a lot with them in the 70's-80's and it was simple colored bricks at the time... We where more inclined toward meccano and had so much you can't even move the box... Then came the kits and when i saw that with today's lego you can make a rubic cube solver that does it in seconds... It reminded me how fun it was to play with them...

I remember in 1997 when the Tokio Express was hit by a rogue wave off the coast of Cornwall, England. Among the containers that were lost overboard, one was filled with nearly 5 million LEGO bricks, many of which were sea-themed. (the irony).

These LEGO pieces are still being found today on beaches in Cornwall, and have drifted as far as the Channel Islands, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
