for the lego fans out there…

some modern Lego models look a bit to smooth to me. I prefer the old style blocky sharp corner versions that I had as a kid (and still have).

Yup. I remember when a ‘car’ was made of one plate, two window pieces, two wheel/axle sets, and three blocks. Oh, and maybe some stickers for lights. On rare occasions, I’d actually get a Lego car for being good.

The last one I build with Jr was this:

Looking to see what he wants for Xmas as he fancies getting a lot more technical this time.

What’s the biggest/most complex/time consuming Lego set you can go out and buy now? (Preferably non star wars/scifi) I fancy a winter build

Actually I think I found it!

Yup, just posted the same on FB. Want!

from milano fixed site and via that Mint Sauce bloke.

Just a heads up for lego fans, there is a promotion just started with Shell petrol, it’s a series of Ferrari cars and a lorry, as well as a shell lab set.

That Lego room is absolutely awesome you lucky man, got a few bits of lego star wars around my house, but nothing on that scale.

Paisley museum has a Lego display on until Feb. if anyone local and interested in going to see.

You can do some amazing things with Lego…

The Lego jet engine at Rolls Royce is amazing – saw it when my lads Cub pack had a tour of the museum, so glad it was my rota’d night to help out!

Just got back from the closing weekend at Legoland Windsor – it was dead on Sunday, nice bright day, rides to ourselves practically. Kids love the Surfrider thing, I quite like Atlantis, simple but clever idea.

The fireworks were great, especially woth the “special” glasses!

The Lego Cargo train has a good discounted price of £86.66 at Amazon at the moment. It’s been this price for 24hours but I wouldn’t expect it to last much longer:

Here’s my collection. Not quite a Lego room yet, just a Lego shelf, but its a start and will grow over Christmas….

Mate of mine has that B-wing, it’s really nice (the star destroyers are just a bit too epic for me)

Warren Elsmore has an exhibition on in Paisley just now, lego architecture. Haven’t been but thought it might be of interest.
