    I got my 1st LEGO set when I was 5 (in 1990), it was a little blue an white cement truck. It was the start of a love affair that has lasted to this day. In the last 2 months or so I have been rebuilding all of my larger LEGO sets and buying new ones (not having to pay rent or buy food leaves a lot of disposable income) and putting them on display in my room. My sisters boyfriend has referred to my room as a "LEGO Shrine". Here are some pics of my "Shrine":

    And least but not least, my pride and joy:

    I've had a few of these sets since before a lot of of EC'ers were born. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    As you all can see, I'm still very much a kid at heart. :lol::kiss:

    WOW.


    And I thought I liked Lego a lot. :grin:

    These are awesome, you must have a lot of patience to be able to make all these and follow the instructions. I've been bought sets in the past but I never followed them, I just used the pieces to make whatever the hell I wanted, being cursed with a low attention span.

    And I think I spy the said "Blue and white cement truck" on your top shelf :grin:

    Actually, that is a new one I bought at the beginning of the month. Most of the parts of the original truck got lost or broken over the last 18 years, so there was no way I could build it again. When I saw this one in the shop, I was overcome with nostalgia and bought it immediately.

    My mom, is kinda as bad as you Negasta. Currently she has spent the last few days purely on sorting/buying/collecting lego :confused:. Well really we've all collected lego since we were knee high to a grasshopper. Our family is a BIG lego family. But right now mom has all of a sudden been going on ebay and just buying boxes and boxes of lego and lego men. My brother is actually building what he calls a "Freakin huge skyscrapper" in his room.

    Wow, I have a lot of little boys at my house who would love to see Negasta's Lego collection! Unfortunately, South Africa is a little far for a field trip. :grin:

    Haha. I just had a little box of generic legos, I loved to make houses. JUST houses. I got angry when my dad tried to make other things.

    What I did love, however, and collected a LOT of, were Bionicles:

    Pohatu was my ABSOLUTE favorite.

    In fourth grade, we even played Bionicles at recess (not the toys, we role-played as them. Haha.)

    That's quite the passion. I'm sure you are aware that there are Lego conventions and competitions. Sign up!

    Your post brings back quite a few childhood memories...

    The blue flying ones... Unless I've got my ranges mixed up I had a little thing from that range and some stuff from the 'evil bad guys' range that countered that one...

    I played with LEGO 'til quite a late point. I mainly collected the ranges that were precursors to the whole Bionicle thing, Slizers and the crazy motorcycle things.

    I never had patience with lego. Mine always used to break so it would feel the wrath of my hand. :frowning2:

    LEGO's are Danish! Based on wooden blocks that had pegs to fit together.

    Denmark contains Legoland. And me.

    Awesome lego pics. especially the last one :slight_smile:
    How much have you spent on lego blocks?

    I used to spend so much money on lego blocks.
    This is the best one and the last one that I made. The side mirrors were gone by the time it got to Japan. Oh and the steering wheel works :icon_bigg

    Wow!

    Oh my, I used to love LEGOs so much back then. I've gotten the Starwars and Artic pack thingy. I absolutely loved the space-mars themed legos! Too bad The last lego I bought was a looong loong time ago.

    Now, they're all just in a box somewhere in the house, sitting :frowning2:
    poor legos...

    Been to Legoland California though! OMG, it was kid heaven! They had a part there that had like reconstructions of real major cities, but in LEGO! :grin:
