I was into legos too, good stuff
-
My parents threw away my Legos when they sold the old house. I had some rad stuff built in there.
-
I had these two sets, they were my favorites.

ahhh yessss the nostalgia...
1. provided excitement from seeing the box art display for about 15 minutes
2. followed by 3 days of frustration, biting off the tiny pieces stuck together because they fucking. wont. come. off.
3. almost swallowed some.
4. still mentally scarred from the abusive experience
-
I never bought those model lego's. Always built something from my imagination.
-
Yeah I really liked to built blocky robots and cars and hovercrafts.
-
Wild(e homo) imagination.
-
i had lego's but i didnt care about stuff like this....id just grab pieces and start sticking them together (kind of like my threads)
-
I didn't have too many legos. I think the bulk of my collection, in fact, came courtesy of McDonald's happy meals.
-
I had a few legos, but I was really into Dino-Riders.

That's right. Dinosaurs with lasers on them.
-
distantmantra with some classic legos :-*
The funny thing is, that shuttle design would get laughed out of the store now. But I prefer legos that were legos! And sometimes they vaguely resembled other things!
Today's bricks are so specialized it takes all the creativity out of them. I do admit some look sharp as hell, though. I love me some star wars legos.
-
i love lego
i love the new city collection they do
i had like every vehicle until my old bookcase collapsed sending them crashing to the floor where they broke apart.
i don't really have the interest in buying more for that reason. no place to put them.
-
Legos + Lincoln Logs = my youth
-
I used to build all the legos from scratch, wasn't really into the kits or anything like that... my brother was the one who bought all the kits, it kinda took the creativity out of it if you were just following directions all the time.

:bow Boglins :bow2
After He-Man and Star Wars when I was really little, I really liked what was it? STARCOM.

Little toys that mechanically changed with buttons and magnets...

I was pretty into legos as a kid, was really into Battle Beasts:

It somehow bums me out that I didn't have a lot of the ones in that picture. That monkey in the lower right is bitchin!

Who knew that MUSCLE Men were actually Kinikkuman, AKA Ultimate Muscle back then? :o

See, sets were always for the creatively crippled, unimaginative kids who of course needed plenty of guidance and assistance through adolescence and even through their adult lives. The more brilliant minds used what was in the random box, and designed from there.
-
Some useful parts could only be found in sets, after all.
True. But you'd have to make sure to throw these pieces into the random box.
-
Did anybody ever TRY to build the thing depicted on the playset, according the instructions, spending hours to do so... only to give up in the end when you realized that you fucked something up in the beginning, so you just tore it apart and built whatever you wanted?
-
The brilliant kids designed what was on their minds, from whatever was made available to them. The unimaginative ones built what was depicted on the box. The stupider kids tried to build what was depicted on the box, and failed.
-
Only playset I ever built was a K'nex Airplane with real working propellers.

I just got bored with following the instructions and made a mistake, that's all. After that, I just built whatever I wanted.
-
Lincoln logs rocked. I think I may have preferred them more for some reason

Unimaginative, uninspired and lacks the ability to follow simple instructions. Tries to make up for the mistake by throwing some shit together. Future hooligan, or angry nerd, without the nerd brilliance.
I had that issue with model airplanes, the ones with a million (or 30) pieces that you have to glue together. Most of my airplanes ended by being mysterious UFOs.

LEGO ELITISM RAGE
Christ dude what is your problem? :lol
-
Well, nostalgia to me involves a lot of rage, LEGO related and otherwise.
-
Yeah like I said, I used solely blocks to create anything I desired.
-
Nope no one remembers that.
-
I used to just pretend the mommy lego and daddy lego were having sex
-
G.I. Joes were the be-all end-all. Action figures have never come close since. I wanna start buying them again.
Also, for you M.A.S.K. fans, Matt Tracker figure.

Guess that's legally as close as they'll get to remaking them.

Holy shit, that would have made MASK like 100x better!
MASK was so fucking overpriced, the vehicles were cool (but TINY!) and the figures SUCKED. It's too bad because the characters were pretty good in the cartoon, but their shitty figurines led to the whole cast being forgotten.

Legos + Lincoln Logs + NERF + super soakers = my youth
fixed
the 90's were amazing as a kid.
-
Nope no one remembers that.
I already posted Battle Beasts earlier in the thread, so obviously someone remembers them ???
-
I tried to post an image, must not have worked because I was a lazy hotlinker :'(
Here it is:
