The Lego Thread!
 

Does anyone collect Lego here? I'm a big fan and I think I saw some Lego fans in another thread.
If this can get Stickied, it can become an official discussion for Lego.

I do, I love any medieval/fantasy Lego and Hero factory.

really enjoying the LOTR and The Hobbit sets

My youngest son loves lego i recently picked up some of the world of warcraft lego sets.

.....that's Megablocks.

I just recently got back into legos after purchasing a few of the TMNT sets to do with my son. Just finished bricklinking the Millennium Falcon UCS edition. Will start putting that beast together this weekend. I think I'm hooked:tgrin:

Make sure to post some pics of it when it's done!

Hiss! Boo! :D
I LOVE Lego. Been collecting since 09. Got most of the newer HP sets, all LOTR and Hobbit (well at least since May 31st) and 3 TMNT sets.

:lol:
I have ALL the TMNT sets!

Does anyone know the cheapest way to get all 4 turtles in Lego sets?

My birthday's coming up in less than a month and i want all 4 turtles at least, but i also want the shredder as well, i plan to do a stop motion with them

The Lego key chains have the four turtles, I've seen them in a Lego store. They are pretty cheap.

Just take off the screw that holds the figure from falling and have the key chain part attached too, and you got a Turtle minifig. As long as you don't mind a small hole from the screw on top of their heads

If you don't want the keychains, I recomend,
Kraang lab escape- Mikey
The Sewer Lair- Leo, Raph
Shredders Bike- Donnie, Shredder

Plus you get extra minifgs besides those.

I used to be into Legos as a kid , I still have about 10000 misc pieces somewhere back home from the 2000 era of Legos .

The sets back in the day were cooler to me ,

Wild Wild West theme
The adventure themes with (Johnny thunder ?)
And the ninja theme and the knights. Those were pretty awesome sets back in the day. The new ones they have these days aren't the same.

Egyptian adventure and jungle adventure .. Epic !

Me and my brother had several Lego sets when we were kids. I wouldn't mind collecting Lego again but they are too expensive these days. small boxes consisting of a Lego person and a small vehicle almost reach €20, for crying out loud.

Got two new sets on the way. They were on sale. I try to wait until they become 20% off or more... and pretty much every set does if you wait long enough

Lone Ranger Stagecoach Escape

Man of Steel Metropolis Showdown

Actually, the price of LEGO sets have steadily decreased since they were first made.LEGO just seems more expensive because they make more sets and bigger sets.

Well, back when me and my brother were kids, our country hadn't adopted the Euro as its currency yet. So that might affect my perception of Lego price.

Nevertheless, Lego is still pretty expensive.

I got the LOTR Tower of Orthanc set. Hefty price tag at $199 but its worth it!:D

Dang! Yeah I have all of the first wave LotR sets, most of the Hobbit sets, and a few of the 2013 LotR sets... but not Orthanc. At least not yet! It would be great to have.

I want this set... waiting on amazon do put it on discount though. LEGO drains your wallet very fast... have to wait for deals when they come :)

Oh and... yes... I will be buying some LEGO Friends sets. Why? Because they are making some awesome ones. Like this:

http://www.heartlakefriends.com/wp-c...26-640x426.jpg

Apparently LEGO did a lot of research on their Friends line and found that while boys like to play with lego on the outside of the sets, girls like to play inside, like a dollhouse for example. So they focused a lot on the interiors to add lots of little details, you will see this on all Friends sets. I like that about them.

As you can see, the top opens up. It's pretty neat

So what's everyone's stance on Mega Blocks and other clone brands? Personally, I hate them. Mega Blocks is bad with quality control. I have a few of their sets in my junk/extra piece bin. I found a single brick in there and pressed hard on it and I bent it!

Nice job on creating a good product Mega-bl****

Zulithe, you sound like another big LOTR/Hobbit LEGO fan. Yep, I got all the 1st wave for both, pre-order Elrond, (two, actually, since I preordered for 3DS and Wii) Shire Bilbo from Target Blu-Ray, Orthanc, two extra Uruk-Hai Armies, and the Battle at the Black Gate.:D I think you should wait on the dragon set cause I'm guessing a Smaug set is coming soon....;)

i used to get a couple of Lego clone sets years ago. they were called BTR, which stood for Build to rule.

The plastic they were made from was alright, the colors were vibrant and stood out. The pieces also don't bend like you said mega Blocks pieces do.

The problem with them was the fact that the pieces when put together, start to slide out. This was annoying as it meant that anything you made with them didn't stay together for long.

as for mega blocks, the tmnt sets they made back in the day were alright. i only had one, and i lost the mini-figures for it.

Yeah, I hope one is shown as a preview at comic-con.

Oh LEGO Smaug is going to be fantastic, but you can never have enough dragons!

I hope he looks very different from the ones in the Castle sets. I like them but I'd like to have several LEGO dragons that look different

I surprisingly have no dragons in my Lego cave, so I'm getting the new Castle set and then the Smaug set

If you are going to SDCC here are 4 exclusive minifigs available there:

Series 11

Oh yeaaaaaaaaaaah! I love those SDCC Mini's! Also series 11 Yeti :trazz:

I have a heap of Lego.

Ive got nearly all of the Pirate sets from the late 80s (except the Eldorado Fortress) which is probably my favourite line to this day.

A fair bit of Castle from the 80s too (Crusaders, Black Falcons and Forestmen/Wolfpack) and some of the stuff from 2006 or so.

The scary laboratory, vampires crypt, and werewolf tree thing from early 2000 studio line

The remnants of Space and Town stuff from childhood

The first run of Batman sets: Catwomans cycle, batboat, batmobile, batwing, the batcave and arkham asylum and also Harleys truck.

A fair bit of Star Wars from the mid 2000s: Millenium Falcon, Cloud City, Republic Gunship and AT-TE, A wing, TIE Fighter, TIE Interceptor, Mos Eisley, The original Jabbas Palace and the little kits, Ewok attack etc etc...also a 12'' Vader that is technic I think.

I haven't bought any in ages, its too damn expensive and I don't have the room.
The TMNT stuff sure as hell has tested my resolve though, dreamed of it as a kid.

LEGO Back to the Future set purchasable now

http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-21103-DeL...dp/B00DQC2FPM/

Or get it on shop.lego.com, can get free shipping with a $50 order and even some free lego mini sets thrown in if you purchase the right combination of items.

I ordered it at the crack of midnight last night. Now to wait.

I want that superman one!

I saw them available on Amazon and Lego.com this morning but stalled in the hopes I could find it in store at Toys R Us over lunch. No dice- so when I got back I went to order it off Amazon and of course sold out. Same with Lego.com (back ordered). So I was forced to order off Toys R Us. I don't mind the tax plus $6 shipping, but they've had a bad track record with me of canceling my orders as of late due to stock issues. So I'm not hopeful I'll actually get one :tconfuse:

Yeah I stupidly didn't buy it sigh. I'll get it on the restock.

Just drove an hour and a half to get the Back to the Future set for my husband, it's our wedding anniversary soon and it's the ideal gift. He's been itching to get his hands on it!
I called the Lego store first thing this morning and reserved one and its a good thing too, they only had one left on the shelf. The guy in there said people were coming from all over to buy it. No wonder, it's all 3 incarnations of the delorean in Lego! Who wouldn't want that? :D

I absolutely LOVE LEGO!!
I have collect/still collecting all Star Wars, Harry Potter, TMNT (have all of them, of course!!), Disney (Toy Story, POTC, Cars etc), LOTR... anything else that looks good!
I love the Christmas range especially (the one where they have a village and release a new one every year... can't wait for this years' one!).

Incidentally, I'm going to Brick Fair in Virginia this weekend! :D

loved LEGO as a kid

I forgot they were doing Back to the Future, I'll have to track that down.

Just the other day me and my wife were in Target and contemplated getting some Lego kits, but even if they've come down in price they sure *seem* too expensive. Might pick up a few TMNT and Man of Steel sets if I have cash to burn, but it seems like to get anything of "quality", either a big set or several smaller ones, you have to spend $60-100, which is frankly more than I can justify spending on blocks.

I went to BrickFair in Chantilly, VA at the weekend.
Someone had custom built this!!...
