An all too forgotten about subject. Whilst doing some reading over on Winds & Breezes I happened across the lego digital designer website. Oh My GOD! Lego! Now the only question remains, do I go to bed or stay up playing with my new lego set? Jesus, it’s like being 10 years old again.
At least now I’ve got something to do at work tomorrow.
Curses, on closer inspection, the digital designer is cack. As a marketing tool however it’s superb! It made me want to go out and spend lots of money on lego.
* This space reserved for a future rant on why lego always has to be something these days. Back in my day we’d get colouded blocks and use our imaginations! *
I built a fairground with Lego blocks when I was 12. It even included a skating rink. I ran out of blocks before I got to the dry skislope though. It was some fairground.
I *always* want Lego blocks. I only don’t have space for them at all, and feel that if I had Lego blocks, instead of scratching my non-stick frying pans, my flatmates would run off with all the white tiles.
That said, the colour of the blocks when I was a child was much better than the colours of them now.
When I own my own place…it better big enough to fit the piano, the lego blocks, the robot building kits and model cars. I’ve always wanted a radio controlled car but they always gave them to my brother.
I’m going to finish the Lego lighthouse and have done with it. I was hoping for unlimited resources, but oh no…no joy.
I have a big bag of lego in the attic, must drag it down tomorrow and play with it. Jacinta will be so impressed as I have to fix the shower enclosure. I know, fix the shower with lego bricks!
balls to the shower, lego is the most important thing right now. Good job I actually opted to go to bed when I did last night. I could have easily spent several hundred euro on “vintage” lego sets that I had when I was a nipper.
i find the kids will still play with the “original” lego and happly make it into Power Ranger stuff or space monsters so maybe things aren’t too bad after all.
Like the pics of the hotel - often wondered what was its story - seems derelict without being totally beyond repair - the dance-floor looks well still..
I used LDraw pretty recently too
