I can remember when my parents bought me this for Christmas. It took for ****ing EVER to build.

Yup, I had a ton of those things.

The ones that had the 'legs', that massive sucker with the two detachable shuttle pods...all kinds of sweet legos.

I had some pretty sweet red and black ones as well (Tron, maybe?)

I never kept a dime of lawnmowing money, just more legos...

Your parents loved you more than mine did. Obviously.

Now I'm gonna root through to basement to see how many of them I can dig up when I get home. Thanks, dicks.

There's no way I'm gonna get any tonight when my wife comes home to my geeky ass playing with legos...

Like hell, castle legos where ghey.

All space, all the time. I was the Michael Bay of the lego world.

"SPLOSIOS!!!!"

Bunk beds without the mattress on the bottom make a perfect place for lego buildin'...

This was my favorite LEGO set by far:

You could reconfigure it and the samurai/ninja in a million different ways, so it went about as far as your imagination could take you.

I had all of these, but the car, detachable ship, and base were awesome. (still are ;))

My parents still have my old castle set. My son loves to play with it when we go there more than any of his new sets.

Man, I loved LEGO. To say nothing of the actual blocks and the worlds I created with them, I loved to just look at the LEGO catalogs as a kid. My imagination would go off in a thousand directions looking at the pictures and models in those.

You sure we are talking about the LEGO catalog?

Yes. Quite sure.

Okay. I had similar reactions to the JC Penney lingerie section.

Forgot about the detachable ship with the little go-cart in the center capsule.

That one was always the flagship, if course...

And unfortunately I can never look in my lego boxes ever again. Or enter the storage room at all. I killed a brown recluse in the basement yesterday and those things scare the bejesus out of me.

So there will need to be large fires and many chemicals sprayed. Then and only then will I go into the unfinished space, drag the corpses of the dogs out of their kennels (because they sleep in there during the day) and make sure that the water heater has survived the blaze.

Then I'll wall the room off, never to return.

!@#$ing brown recluses...I hate those things.

Was?


It still is. :)



The worst part about building Blacktron was finding the black 1x2 slanted computer/button console pieces in a pile of what seemed like millions of pieces.
