This could be amazing or completely horrible.

I might have to block off some time to see this flick.

I see them building this up like crazy.

This would be something I'd watch at 3 am on HBO but never admit to anyone that I had.

"**** this movie. It sucks hairy asshole." --- The Weebles

Great.

Now I'm going to have to abduct someone's 5 yr old kid so I can go watch that without looking creepy...

Legos are the best toys ever.

lol, interesting

That trailer doesn't do a great job of making this seem like an actual movie.

My 11 and 9 year old kids will love it.

I haven't watched trailer, but Lego s becoming a behemoth. Ninjago franchise was huge. They're gearing up with Chima. Then they have all their licensed stuff and games. I kind of object to Ninjago because they tried to bundle a CCG and a bey blade style spinning game into one. Doing the same with Chima. Just very gimicky and derivative.


And really the Ninjago spinning game sucks ass in comparison to bey blades

I've seen at least 2 lego movies in 4d at LegoLand

Are you sure?

Yep lol

How do I see this without looking like a Penn State alum?

I find it funny you said at least 2. You honestly can't remember if you saw 3?

I think it was two movies two times - that might be where I'm confused

lol

My kids are stoked for this

Heh, looks like fun. I loved LEGOs as a kid and had mountains of them, so it makes me happy that they're still so popular.

Does anyone remember those space station and space ship Lego sets back in the day? Those were quite spectacular.

i see what you did there

I did not like those

I had the castle and police legos

My first set:

Here's mine:

Castle Legos were the best.

I inherited that one from my brother. It ****ing kicked ass.

I had the gray castle with the jail.

I have bought my kids a shitload of legos.


I should slow down. Part of the magic was saving 6months to a year of "allowance" to buy one set.

Easy to say, each set got a million miles put on it, but they were worth every penny.

This was my first truly badass set:

Loved that one. The flashing lights made the whole thing...

This is one that I still have put together in the basement:

I remember it being hard as hell when I was 9, but it has steerable front wheels and a badass helicopter on a trailer, so it's all good.

Blacktron? Fugg yeah!

You bitches are hitting my nostalgia hard.

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.

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.
