Do you like LEGO?

[Salandrin]

Coming off my thread about buying an expensive Lego set, it seems despite how old your typical MMO C poster is, alot of people hold Lego in much higher esteem than your typical toys.

I feel like you could have just discussed this in the thread you already had.

Also I would put a poll if you are honestly asking us.

I don't care for it, but I don't hate it either.

I think a reason why Minecraft got popular with some of the older (say....16-30 crowd) was due to having LEGOs as a kid. I remember in my neighborhoods if you had LEGOs, you were the shit! I love LEGOs and even though I am 19, I would still play with them like I was 7 again.

i love legos. i still have a big rubbermaid bucket of them somewhere that i never got rid of. probably is 1000$+ worth of legos there.

I kick myself on a regular basis for throwing out my LEGOS in my teens. Really thinking about stocking back up again, even at 24.

why did you throw them out?

[zorkuus]

While I'm way too old to play with lego's, I can still affirm to their positive effect on a child's creativity. My favourite toy when I was a kid. Come to think of it, it was the only thing I spend time with while indoors at some point

I never knew what happened to my collection. I once asked my mother years ago if she had them stashed somewhere at her home but no...
Would've been nice to pass them on to my kids one day.

God I hate when ppl call it "Lego". It's "LegoS"

[breadisfunny]

if i was not sure that my lego sets have become home to an army of dead wasps and other nasties - i would probably construct amazing things.

i love lego.. but i am not really a fan of the new (uh, anything past 1999 i guess) legos that have special bricks moulded to exact intricate smooth shapes, instead of just having 4 weird triangle things that let me use some imagination.

and i also get really annoyed at the fake legos that exist now.. not sure why.

people who think that are clearly all sheeps.

on topic tho i prefer mega bloks cos the mini figs are awesome, plus since their patent ran out lego is identical to the others while being like twice the price.

It's "Lego." Proper noun. You play with Lego bricks, they are all Lego, I love all my Lego etc etc.

I find it's only "legos" in America? It's nonsense.

i refuse to hear your slanderous lies against the good name of legos any further GOOD DAY SIR!

Haven't played with my Legos in years and I have no idea where my set is.

I did love Legos as a kid though. Probably still do if I get a moment to play with them xD

Edit: Oh yeah I sold my set to a toystore during my teenage years along with a lot of Disney children books. Gosh stupid teenagers -.-

[Drekker17]

I love legos, one of my favorite toys along with stuffed animals. I have a nice box of them, I go to the store every couple weeks to get myself a minifigure.

It's still funny that there are just two Americanisms that make me wince and instantly think a person is a simpering idiot - the first is "legos" and the second is not pronouncing the H in "herb." Everything else is reasonable but these two just gives me such a ridiculous sense of disdain lol.

I love the mega bloks minifigs too, especially Halo, Warcraft and the old Megabloks Dragons (armored lego people). However the original blocks were really flimsy compared to legos, but they got better. I don't get why people hate lego copycats...I think most are good and cheaper, the only one major one I haven't tried is knex.

I think Legos along with stuffed animals are amongst the best toys to get kids, it lets them be more creative...but so many parents prefer to buy their kids ipads, it makes me sad .

Legos, were my childhood I loved them so much, next to Pokemon ofcourse, I used to spend the long summer evenings just sitting in my room and building random shit, usually just blocks ontop off one another + attempts to make spaceships and "Fly" them around the room, good ole days =D. Also why I enjoy Minecraft I suppose, them being slightly the same in a way.

Only downside to Lego was tredding on them at night... The pain one would go through, It was tear worthy!
