The Lego Thread!

*snake* · 05-31-2013, 03:11 PM

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 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

Hiss! Boo!

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.

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 !

*Prowler* · 06-26-2013, 06:08 AM

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.

*Zulithe* · 06-26-2013, 07:58 AM

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

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!

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:

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****

*raph27* · 07-08-2013, 08:58 AM

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.

I think you should wait on the dragon set cause I'm guessing a Smaug set is coming soon....
