this was actually my favorite. you could do so much with it. i think i still have the original instructors + like 98% of the parts but its like the 2% parts that you miss that suck :(




gently caress the Space Police.

I dunno get them something licensed, or something not licensed, it really makes no difference at all they will take it apart and build whatever the gently caress they want because they're kids. Also it's super loving weird that there is a big bang theory lego, that show is not for kids at all?

for real though is there a chinese company that makes knockoff lego sets at an appropriate price? where the markup is less than 3000% the cost of plastic?

Legos seems to be a toy where you can't really ever get the same experience with a knockoff version. Never got a Megabloks set that didn't feel weird as hell and a little jank going together

Pirate Lego are the best Lego.

The Space ones are good, but too gimmicky. Too many gimmick pieces limit replayability.

All the ones they make TV shows out of are too gimmicky, but are probably what those adorable little scamps will want unless you show them how cool Pirate Lego are.

An acceptable compromise are Steampunk Pirate Lego, which is Pirate lego with other cool bits from smaller kits.

Time Pirates.

I mean legos were fun, but imagine when you were a kid if you had a gas-powered mini dirt bike instead?

I remember drooling over the Star Wars sets in the back of the Lego magazines. I remember the most expensive star destroyer was like 150 and had almost 1000 pieces.

I wouldn't doubt it. lovely parents exist.

"But daaaaad- I don't want to play 'Eat the block.'"

It's becoming easier to tell who is stuffing bullshit reviews and freebies on Amazon thanks to the "Bought Together" stuff. If it has a cell phone case or some pet toy with it- guess what? The reviews are probably "got for free" scabs.

You know I would try to think of something funny to put here but ill just pass on that and threaten people with a + 2 board with a nail in it.

shovelbum posted:

They had some cool double-sided parts, too, that let you attach stuff in ways that Lego wasn't easily capable of. You can see two I remember from when I was a kid on that little thing, attached to each other even, the little waffle piece and the little rosette looking thing.

You know I remember them now that you mention it, they were pretty handy. I had a big bucket of the space stuff myself that I remember getting for $20ish in 1989 money. I have a few of those purple steering columns laying about.

I left this at a friends house when he was going through a Lego phase.

Go to one of the Lego stores where they sell bulk Lego. Get all one shape, all one color.

Either that or baseplates. Lots of baseplates.



Or a bunch of the random Mini figures, if you are not feeling sadistic.
