Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone used to play with legos. . . my older brother and sister didn't let me play with their first lego firetruck and police car in 1978. . . they said I tried to eat them. I was pissed. . . I think I was 2, but I still remember that incident vividly. Afterwards, I went lego crazy and ended up doing architecture in college. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) I have friends with kids come over to my house every week now, and they're just getting to the age where they are having enough focus to play with legos. I figure if we're going to do something anti-social and mellow sometimes while they're over, I'd prefer legos over videos. . . anyways, I'm needing to bolster my lego supplies. It's for the kids. .. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) no, really. . . it is. .. . for the children. I was wondering if anyone on the list has legos that are no longer used. . .either yours or your kid's. I'd be interested in stealing. . . I mean buying them . I gave a large portion of mine away quite a while ago. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif) Well, if you've got anything, please shoot me a PM. I'm really glad LEGO is selling 1000 piece buckets again, but they're still dang expensive. Ebay is extremely helpful, but I figure there's people here who are into gaining garage space for car parts (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) -'Chung |

I seriously played with legos until 3 years ago (I'm almost 17). I built and programed (well, mostly programed) lego mindstorm robots using a form of labview (if my memory is correct), for a while in competitions. My team was really good (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) , and we won a few design awards. Lately I've been helping teaching middle-school students how to program. The latest batch even got a programing award. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
Anyways. I'd send some if you weren't so far away (we millions of lego pieces). Legos are the best toys ever. Caution though. If you start a kid on legos, he will go on to more expensive things. Like bikes, then cars (especially Porsches and VW's), and then he will start looking at engineering schools (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) |
