Happy 50th Birthday Lego!

True.

Colinism, I HAD THAT CASTLE!!!!

I think my brother lost all mine. Fucking brothers.

Hooray Lego!

Brother fucker! HA!

Oh, my goodness! I almost forgot about how much it hurts to wipe-out on some giant lego concoction you left in the middle of the bedroom, at night. It's almost like crashing onto fire coral.

Is it total blasphemy to give a shout out to Erector Sets?

I think that I've paid my dues to Lego in late-night wipe-outs, thank you.

heh, erector.

The gun is an actual civil war rifle that someone at some point converted into a muzzle loading shotgun. It's an antique. and most of those castles are ones that I had and used the pieces to make other things so I ended up buying more off ebay. that whole top of the picture those small drawers are full of minifigs and weapons.

Hundreds of figs.

That's actually a feeling I physically remember. Even a single block under a poorly placed foot hurt like a motherfucker.

My brother used to chew up all my legos. My OLDER brother. Fucking brothers.

I gave all mine to my step brothers. They're upstairs in my dad's garage now. Some day soon I'm reclaiming that shit.

My absolute favorite toy as a child.
If I ever win the lottery, I will buy an auditorium or a theater. And I will fill it with Legos and it shall be my personal Lego workshop. And millions of precious plastic little Lego pieces will be strewn about randomly in dozens upon dozens of multicolored piles of happiness. And I will hire hot naked womens to fetch pieces for me. And there has to be an Olympic-sized swimming pool where my Lego navies will do battle.
Man, do I need to win lotto...

You could, and then a former LEGOland employee such as myself would tell you that the correct term is "LEGO brick" and that any two bricks will fit together guaranteed.

And god, I will never wear another primary color ever again.

I loved legos as a kid. But, it kinda pisses me off that now that I'm almost 30, they decide to make Batman, Star Wars and Indiana Jones Legos. Seriously, where the fuck were these things when I was 10!!

What's stopping you from buying them now?

Credit card with no limit/pot of endless gold?

No, Kevin, these are things that wouldn't stop him from buying those.

Erector sets are great.

Killjoy. It'll be a cold day in hell before I say, "Man, I sure love playing with LEGO bricks!"

Dude. You just did.

What do you think are the qualifications necessary to be a Lego Model Repair Technician at LegoLand?

I mean, 3d model designer, I can imagine. 3D modelling training, a background in art and design, etc.

But Lego Model Repair? "I've been playing with the things for 25 years. I currently have a Lego Millenium Falcon in my bedroom. And I'm a virgin."
