"Gas it w###a".........

Sky+ the lego program last night, I loved it as a child and every time I'm with my godson we have a great time building things. I could sit for hours just building things.

[pookie]

I've started playing with lego again and the types of bricks and shapes have increased. Lego is like gold and measured by weight. The themed box sets are pretty much fashion based with many discontinuing as soon as the franchise stops ( lego harry potter etc). I love the star wars sets but balk at the price of the death star.
That said times move on and so does lego.. is this the new face of lego??


those Jayneflakes creations are fab !!!

My Lego is all with my nephews now and I add to it for them. However, we do sometimes get it out and after about half an hour I realise they have wandered off to do something else and I'm still sat on the floor surrounded by bricks and wheels and Space Lego which was always my favourite, building another version of my space station.

When I was a kid I'd come downstairs in the morning to find my dad had made some creation after I'd gone to bed and he'd get quite hacked off if I then broke it up to start again.

My name is SIII and I am a LEGO'holic,

All of the kits are built with my 2 daughters and most are Star Wars sets. It is not the the actual end result that I enjoy and actually find the storage of the completed items a bit of a pain. What I get from it, is sitting with either of my kids for a few hours just working with them, sorting out the packets of bits, putting the bits together and basically just spending uninterupted time with them and working together.

I actually have the Millennium Falcon (The big one) sat in my office yet to be built, just waiting for the perfect wet sunday (Xmas present from the missus, she just like to watch us and occasionally wade in and make a mess of procedings).

Falc kept all his lego from when he was a kid My sister in law works for Lego and she buys our child the kits so we do have the best of both words and no there is no other pain worse than standing on lego off to the film during half term

Sadly my street triple model is just that, a model. The engine although three pistons is driven via the chain by the rear wheel as you push it along the road.









It is hard to see the detail because my camera is not very good, but this was built this afternoon.

They look like Bionicles to me. Both our kids loved them, and the cheesy movies that went with them (I think we may still have the DVDs somewhere).

Oh, JF, that Speed Triple is AWESOME. And I don't type in capitals very often!
