The Soace system was cool with the different factions: Futron, Blacktron, M-tron with the magnets, Space Police.

The video of 2001 done with Legos is pretty awesome.

Ah man legos were awesome, though bloody expensive. I used to make the box instructions once, then break it apart and throw it in my grandmaster bin where i'd just mix all my shit and make anything I wanted. I haven't done anything since I was a kid though. For some reason I was really instread the "dumper/recylcle statoin" set, I have no idea why. It was cool hidding stuff in those recycle dumpsters.

I'm still a huge fan of lego's as an artisitic medium, but I got out of the craze when lego pieces started becoming too custom. It seems like things I had to put together growing up come in one pre assembled custom piece now.

Yeah, Lego had a craze for giant single-use bits a few years back. They're slowly coming back to the old direction now.

When I was a kid, the entire east half of the attic was mine...not my bedroom, my LEGO city. I had mostly the standard City sets, and rarely dabbled in Space or Castle sets. One or two buildings were instruction built, but everything else was original. I had a working drawbridge that spanned the aluminum foil river, a four-story office tower, and one house. I found it odd that only one family lived there, and was able to support a Coast Guard station, fire and police services, a hospital, airport, and the local Shell station (why always Shell?). I bought a couple of the Star Wars sets a few years ago.

I have all of my LEGOs still in a tupperware bin in the basement, where they were waiting on my son. Since I had a daughter instead, it appears that LEGO will be one of the "boy things" she'll be well versed in, along with video games and Star Wars. She already wants a "green lifetaber, like Yowa has" though she just only turned two.

One site to look at: Bricklink. Totally cool.

The traveling Lego Kids Fest is near me this weekend. Does anyone know if this is something that would be worth going to or if it's just a cute event aimed towards kids? I'm a 25 year old guy who loves legos, btw.

Do you have any nieces, nephews or a friend with children? Because I wouldn't turn up to something like that one my own, you will be looked at weirdly.

Great men aren't everywhere, just where it counts.

If you ever see me online playing Halo, join me please.
